Penetrating behind the electoral votes predicted in 1924 to the ratios of popular votes then predicted by the Literary Digest, Democrats last week pointed to wider margins of error.

Rather more "literary" than the commercialized publisher and critic of the U. S., Mr. and Mrs. Woolf belong to a group of individualists who still take art seriously: Orient-student Arthur Waley (TIME, Aug. 27), Economist John Maynard Keynes, Biographer Lytton Strachey, esoteric Poet Osbert Sitwell, unique Author E. M. Forster. Many of these were at Cambridge together, have since formed the "Bloomsbury group," intermarrying, settling in adjacent houses, exciting themselves in common interests. Virginia Woolf is daughter to the Cambridge tutor and biographer Sir Leslie Stephen, sister-in-law to art critic Clive Bell, wife to Leonard Woolf, publisher...
