Last week no cheering mobs chaired Robert Ramspeck on their shoulders; no medals, no free radio time, no newsreel hullabaloo greeted his achievement. The civil servants of the U. S. do not inspire public frenzy. Theirs is not to do or die, to show imagination or initiative. Theirs is to get to work at 9 a.m. and quit at 4:30 p.m., like automatons, and to draw their pay until death parts them from the payroll.

But in 1940, as in 1936, the closest estimate of the popular vote was made by quiet, curly-haired Elmo Burns Roper, who has never made any great hullabaloo because he was one of the first to undertake political polls by the scientific sampling method and still makes no extravagant claims for his surveys...
