...each in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut). Gallup Poll gives the G. O. P. 39 new seats in the Central States. Joe Martin is currently counting on only 22, with ten from Ohio where Republicans anticipate defeating Governor Davey. The Committee expects eight new Congressmen from the corn & wheat belt, one or two from the Rocky Mountain States and two on the West Coast, from Oregon and Washington, where the Gallup Poll gave them none. Another item on the G. O. P.'s curiously negative balance sheet is of course the noisy Democratic split in Pennsylvania...

These poet-navigators attempted to carry their loads to their readers' understandings somewhat as Australian grain boats, knot by knot, carry wheat to Liverpool. Poet Pound's boating is more like a torpedo bug's: he scoots about his map every which way, and tries to be everywhere on it as simultaneously as possible...
