This Great National Poll Therefore Will Be the
VOICE OF THE.. PEOPLE
That Political Leaders and Conventions Will Heed
No propaganda of any kind as to party candidate or isucs is connected with this great popular Presidential Primary. THE LITERARY DIGEST has no political ax
to grind and the absolutely impartial and non-partizan nature of the poll is guaranteed and protected in the most complete manner. It Is the duty of aU men and
women to have their own opinions on the problems that now face their country and to express those opinions in the choice of their President in the approaching con
ventions and national election. This unofficial Presidential Primary the greatest and most representative ever conducted in the hiitory of America will serve as a
vehicle for the unhampered expression of popular opinion and will have a very large influence on the nominating conventions of both great parties. J f t
