...come to view the extensive horticultural and agricultural exhibits as well as to partake of the pancakes and "trimmings'" which are served complimentary to our radio visitors at this time. This annual affair was first staged in the fall of 1926 after I had won the Radio Digest Gold Cup award as the world's most popular radio announcer, with the largest vote ever polled in any previous contests...
Socialist Thomas expects 2,000,000 popular votes next week. If he gets them he will double the party record set by Eugene Victor Debs in 1920. The Literary Digest presidential poll indicates that he will receive slightly less than 5% of the 35 to 40 million votes to be cast Nov. 8. Last week he carried straw polls against Hoover, Roosevelt and Foster at Columbia and New York Universities. Socialist electors will appear on the ballots of 44 States. Last week they were ruled off in Oklahoma because the party had failed to poll a legal sufficiency...
Polls & Partisans. Dry fodder to Republicans, but to Jim Farley and the Democratic donkey a feast, were the presidential straw votes conducted by The Literary Digest and the Hearst-papers.

The straw votes are supplemented and largely confirmed by studious political correspondents touring the country, by private business scouts, by astute politicians taking "off the record." TIME's map, no forecast, represents a summary...
Upsetting the early conjectures based on the Hearst and Digest straw-votes, the CRIMSON poll shows that Harvard is caught in a Republican landslide. Surprisingly few students indicated any shift in their party sympathies; the greatest changes occurred in the Business School, where students are presumably in closest touch with the conditions governing this election. As usual, the Law School differed from the University, polling nearly as many votes for Roosevelt as for Hoover...
