The piece notes Roosevelt’s political trek to the West Coast and Hawaii raises his Washington state support from 33 percent and Idaho from 47, with after tour polling showing little change, while it argues personal appearances and radio talks shape votes more than speeches. It predicts such tours may strengthen Roosevelt’s hold as campaigns continue.
The piece argues that Secretary Ickes uses clever phrases to divert from facts about the Jackson Hole National Monument.
