...returns were unreliable, meaningless. Their strongest claim was that the ballots had been cast before the Republican campaign really began, that since then a surge to Hoover unreflected in the totals was taking place.

William Seaver Woods, Digest editor, tartly pointed out that Mr. Sanders was "dreaming," that that year the magazine had polled only 30,000 persons in five States, accurately predicted the outcome in four, made...
