These are anxious days as straw ballots are analyzed to determine the weak spots in the various candidate's armor. Despite the scof-' fiing in public ..statements, veteran political leaders privately place considerable reliance in these cross-section surveys. The President's return to the White House after a tour of several states brings the conviction among his followers that his pilgrimage developed a tremendous amount of good will.' A similar view prevails in G.O:P. circles as to the effectiveness of Governor Landori's personal appearances.

The upswing in business has been a signal for new_ demands on employers for wage increases. Government statistical agencies report wage rates are higher than in 1929. The fact that living costs average 15 percent below the 1929 level strips the unions of their trump card that new wage scales are necessary to keep the wolf from the workers' door. Corporations hoping to renewthe confidence of their stockholders in management by improved earnings to do so with the knowledge that trade unions will intensify demands for more money. With a variety of Labor Day speeches confusing the trade union picture for the politicians seeking this class ef votes, the union leaders are also on edge as strike talk and public reaction provide heady problems.
