The last was that of 1916. when almost complete returns pave Charles Evans Huphes every reason to Mieve he ha»l won. But the next day it was learned that i WtHnirow Wils^vn had can ie<l California, an • almost totally unexpected event, and that wa> enouph ti> {»ut him i^the White House, •i ' » . . Subsequent elections have lH»en won by wi«l«* and often overwhelminp marpins. But. many people think, somethinp like the 1916 (vittern may appear in 1960. The standard ;x>Hs. a^of now. certainly indicate that. They have the two tickets runninp absolutely neck anti neck with only a percentage point or two ^-puratinp them. These polls also indicate tha* a comparatively small number of vot ers—five or six j!»er cent or so—are undecided n t heir choice. Vet, there are dissenters; who doubt the accuracy of polls this early in the game, and who also doubt if the undecided portion of the electorate is so small. For instance col- umnist Marquis Childs writes, “one of the mo<: astute strategists in the Kennedy camp, so r .inc the current pi*lls. estimated that as tinia- the >trenpth of the two tickets is ivughlx Nixon 54 per cent, Kennedy 30 per vent, with a whoppinp 35 per cent undecided.

The Chronicle bespeaks a cordial reception for all solicitors as they make their rounds. They are performing a service for the community. This campaign mils into one concentrated effort the work formerly put forth in many separate drives for money to support the agencies represented in the budget of the Community Chest. It greatly simplifies the work ami saves residents from having to go through with inconveniences of making many smaller contributions. Eleven agencies participate in the budget of the Community Chest, all of them eminent ly worthwhile and necessary. All of them perform service for the community and de serve support from residentsof the area. The total amount to be raised is $20,560.75. This is not by any means beyond the capability of the community—the sum could be subscrib ed in one day. All shoulders should be put to the wheel to indicate to Community Chest leaders that they have the wholehearted sup- !»ort and thanks of residents.
