LANDON LEADS PAPER POLL

Universal Service Wire

LIBERTY, N. Y., Aug . 13–Governor Landon is leading President Roosevelt, 8 to 5, in the straw vote being conducted by the Liberty Register, it was announced today.

With 1,484 votes tabulated, the newspaper declared the standing was:
LANDON–855.
ROOSEVELT–565.
LEMKE–54.
THOMAS–10.

Since the ballots returned constitute almost 50 per cent of those sent out by the Register, today’s standings were regarded as likely to be changed only slightly by future returns.

In 1932 the President carried Liberty Township, which is in Sullivan County.
