Literary Digest's Poll A "presidential poll" by postcard that has been in progress for the lost ,. .! ......1 ! l.i several weeuu, cuuuutira vi ui. Literary Digest, of New York, ia thus' summarized by that periodical in its iisue of this week : i "General Wood, Senator Johnson 1 and Mr. Hoover stand head and' shoulders above all other candidates." "Practically every authority, from (the editorial staffs of the country's newspapers to the well-informed man "on the ttreet." says the Digest. "aduiiU that the poll is accurate in revealing the three men named as the candidates overwhelmingly preferred by the Amerl- , can people at large. The air is full of, rumors in Washington and in various other headquarters throughout the country that not one of these three men will be permitted to go before the peo-' pie as the presidential nominee. The, experts and professional prophets are often wrong, but this situation may I have points of lively iutereet to the average citizen, who has the privilege t of voting for whoever is nominated. It must be said at the same time, of course, that none of these candidates) has anything like a majority of the total J Republican vote received. General Wood has lets than a third of the total, Johnson less than a fourth and Hoover j less than a hixth." It is pointed out that, contrary to. many predictions, Hoover continues, as from the first, to draw almost as many Totes from Democratic as from Hcpub- j Jicnn hources, despite his avowed lie- , publican preferences. In declared Democratic votes he leads the foicmostt Democratic candidate. MeAdoo, by i nearly 8000, with a total of 1)1,445 as gainst 83,(115 for MeAdoo.

H00VER "NOMINATED" Schoolboys In Convention Honor Him on Tenth Ballot After a spirited light, during which much ouug American oratory devel oped, Herbert Hoover was nominated for the presidency by the Republican convention of the West Philadelphia Roys' High School yesterday afternoon. Although he led on every ballot, Mr. Hoover wus not given u mujority until the tenth. On the tenth ballot tho former food administrator received twenty -two votes, while Governor Sproul, hLs nearest rival, got sixteen. General Leonard Wood was given seven votes nnd Hiram Johnson six. Some of the delegates charged that a deal had been mnde by the Johnson and Wood followers at the last minute at nil costs, but this charge could not be proved. TEMPLE RENOMINATED Chicago, May 20. Well advanced plans to spring n coup that would make Getiersl WiM,d the Republican nomlueo on the lirt ballot have gone to Mnasli. according to n report along Presidential Row yesterday. Veto of the plan by Dr. Nicholas Murray Uutler, of New York, nnd Sen utor Roles Penrose's recovery from the illness that threatened to keep him nt home ure the rocks on which the hopes of the Wood managers are said to have been shattered. New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu setts and Ohio, whose combined dele gate strength is 247, were to have been in the forefront in the move to push Wood over for the nomination on the initial ballot. With everjbody "looking out the window," the instructed dele gates, faithful to their pledges nud "favorite sous" enjoying their moment of glory, the plumping of that block of 247 votes for General Wood would find lilrt nomination nimounccd nt the close of the first rollrall. The ruling powers in Ohio nnd Mas sachusetts were reported to have ex pressed themselves as agreeable to the plan. In the latter state an offer of the vice presidency to Governor Coolidge was said to have been mode and held acceptable. Fennsylvanlans Lined Up With Senator Penrose seriously ill, those on whom the duty of holding Pennsylvania's seventy-six delegates in line were inclined to go along with the plan. Then came the sudden improve ment in the senator's condition, fol lowed by tho announcement he would go to Chicago though he had to make use of a stretcher. When tho Wood emissaries ap proached the New York leaders they were informed that while the plan was highly inviting, the Empire state's delegation would support Doctor Ilutlcr unless released by tho doctor. Some thing is said to have been mentioned concerning an ambassadorship. Then came the veto.

Ilroad St. One Reason for House Shortage! rriHE Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America demanded an increase in wages of IDS1?, per cent and a reduction in work ing hours of 10 per cent for all wood working mechanics in Philadelphia and vicinity on and after June 1, 1920. In other words less work per day at more than double the pay! Such demands form one reason for the house shortage in this city and the gen eral curtailed work along these lines. In answer, the Association of Cabinet Wood workers of Philadelphia and Vicinity offered an increase in the wage scale of 40 per cent, but no reduction of hours from the present 48 hours a week. The offer was in exact percentage propor tionate to the 40 per cent wage increase granted the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America by the Master Carpenters of Philadel phia, May IS, 1920. This offer was rejected! Therefore, in the interest of the Public and the Trade, and to prevent the further halting of pro duction, the undersigned unanimously agree to operate on an Open Shop basis on and after June 1, 1920.
