Director, American Institute of
Public Opinion
PRINCETON, N. J , June 17.-
■then the Republican National
Convention meets next Monday in
Chicago, one of its important tasks
—aside from the all-important job
of nominating candidates—will be
to adopt a party platform.
Just what divergent interests
Bust be welded by the platform and
how strongly
they should
receive voice
have always
been matters of
heated conjec-
ture among par-
ty leaders charg-
ed with nailing
down the plat-
form planks.
The resolutions
committee of the
W GALLUP Republican Con-
vention slated to convene this Wed-
nesday to begin hearings on the
platform to be recommended to the
Convention, may thus be interested
in a Gallup survey conducted
@iroughout the nation during re-
rent days.
The results of this survey provide
in effect a "people’s platform” for
the Republican Party. It will be in-
teresting to compare the platform
finally adopted by the convention
with the plat form which emerged
when Republican voters in all parts
of the country were asked:
“Is there any particular Idea
er plank which you would like
your party to include in its
a party platform for the coming
presidential election?”
Tabulation of the replies given
to field reporters in this survey em-
phasizes one fact tof particular in-
terest: Republican voters give far
more attention to domestic prob-
Cms than to international prob-
lesm. Three out of every four sug-
gestions made deal with home front
problems.
Here are the suggestions—in ad-
dition to the obvious pledge of sup-
port for the war—given by Repub-
scan voters to field reporters for
the Gallup Poll in all parts of the
U. S.:
1. Republican voters would have
one plank of the Republican Party
platform include a pledge to elim-
Anate wasteful, non-war spending,
and to pare down the total tax bill.
In line with thla, they feel the Re-
publican Party should pledge the
elimination of numerous non-war
bureaus now functioning in Wash-
ington. This emphasis upon curtail-
el spending is consistent with other
poll findings showing government

extravagance and increased taxes
to be high on the list of public wor-
ries.
2. Also in line with earlier polls
is the suggestion that a plank of
the Republican platform urge
stricter control of labor uinons. The
public has expressed concern time
and again in surveys over what it
terms "coddling of labor." If the
Republican voters had their way,
the Q. O. P. would pledge putting a
Strong Market
At Taylor Sale
A steady to strong market with a
good run of animals was recorded
Friday at the Taylor Coounty Live-
stock auction, with 1.206 head go-
ing through the gates.
Prices included: Fat cows, 10.00
to 11.50; butcher bulls, 8.50 to 9.75;
heiferettes. 10.00 to 13.00; butcher
steers and heifers, 10.00 to 13.00;
fat calves, 13.00 to 14.00; common
calves, 8.50 to 11.00 stocker steer
yearlings, 11.00 to 12.50; stocker
heifer yearlings, 9.00 to 10.50; mixed
breed steer yearlings, 8 50 to 10.00;
mixed breed heifer yearlings, 8.00
to 10.00.
Top hogs, 13.00 to 13.50; under-
weight and overweight hogs, 9.00
to 12.50; and feeder shoats. 9.00 to
10.00.
stop to wartime strikes, urging more
responsible labor union leadership
and incorporating unions.
3. Voters would also have the
platform stress that steps be taken
to avoid post-war depression and
unemployment, that jobs be pro-
vided for all after the war, especial-
ly returning soldiers, and that bon-
uses for soldiers and aid for dis-
abled veterans be provided for. This
suggestion also reflects earlier opin-
ion studies. Aside from purely mil-
itary concerns, post-war employ-
ment has been found to be one of
the chief worries of the public.
4. Republican voters would
furthermore have their party
come out against any extension
of federal control, and pledge
to a cutting down on federal
control whenever possible.
8. In line with the thinking of
the -vast majority of U. 8. citizens.
Republican voters favor cooperation
with other nations in enforcing
peace through some sort of world
union after this war. They would
include this in the Republican Par-
ty platform.
6. A majority of Republican vot-
ers have shown themselves in ear-
lier Gallup surveys to favor a two-
term presidential limitation by con-
stitutional amendment. This finds
reflection in the suggestion that the
Republican Party adopt a plank
limiting all presidents to two terms
in the future.
