by' Decatur Herald) (This is the concluding; dispatch of a series of three analyzing political sentiment in the tVest alter a trip of thirty davs of actual investigation. Mr Lawrence now is making: a study of the East preparatory to writing a dispatch dally on the trend la the-East.) MIDWEST AMERICA, Oct 16. Bow it may be asked, can any correspondent in a quick journey across the continent, stopping a day or two in a state, guage the political sentiment thereof? What is the value of pre-election polls and analysis made Dv itinerant reporters? These are natural questions and sre asked in evcrr campaign whenever any correspondent undertakes the risks of political prophesy. Since the writer began his tour, for instance, he has noted one or two comments that he did not -visit in a particular state the Democratic or "Republican or LaFollette headquarters. As a matter of fact this correspond-tnt deliberately avoided most of the campaign managers of all parties.

Kinds of Chieftains. There are political) chieftains, of coarse, who are honest with their callers and there are others who try purposely to mislead in the hope that the dispatches written will have a certain effect on- their local situation. Then there are political leaders who express honest convictions, but they are sometimes mislead by their own information. Not always knowing the personal equation of these local managers for as a rule they change with every campaign. It has always been considered better policy by tl)is writer to waste no time with men who merely wish to him full of propaganda for their own ends.

Out in Nebraska, for Instance, where Frank Harrison, regional manager for the LaFollette forces, was visited, it took about two minutes to discover that he-regarded the calls of all correspondents as simply a splendid opportunity to broadcast his own case. Means of Operating. How then does a. correspondent operate who enters" a campaign with' the sole desire of getting the facts and without any desire to affect the outcome or to take sides? It is a problem of acquaintance and friendship over a period of many years with men who will not mislead, who endeavor to 'appraise a situation honestly. It is, of course, unthinkable that any correspondent can in a day's visit know as much about any state as the people living in it.

But there are persons resident in every state who are saturated with their own situation, who know from year to year what is likely to happen in politics, persons of balanced judgment and wide acquaintance, persons who mingle with all classes of people. Their analysis counts for a great deal with this correspondent. It has proved sound in the campaigns of, previous vears. Again and again on th elocal news papers are shrewd political reporters who watch the various headquarters from day to day. who can tell you in five minutes whether a campaign manager is whistling to keep up his courage or really convinced his fig ures are correct.

In other cases one finds mutual friends of these same campaign managers to whom at the lunch or dinner table on previous oc casion, the inside story has been told In other words the task of gath ering information on politics is the same as it is on anything ejse a re- Porter's job is in finding out who really is "in the know" and piecing together the viewpoints of several people. One Example. In one city, this correspondent has five friends whose views bn politics do not agree. One is a lawyer, an ether a banker, and one is a labor leader, a fourth is a settlement house orker and a fifth is prominent in fraternal circles. Before visiting that city.

letters written appraising each of the date the writer would ar rive. They had always kept their ears to the ground. In that state the riter has never made a prediction ttat proves on election -day to be rong. In some states, as for stance, Nebraska, the correspondent consulted 22 different sources In Lincoln and Omaha. Xobody can of course 'hope to with accuracy the outcome of the Ituation in every state.

WILL STORE IT Carriers Would Also Benefit; Practise Would Re'-'. move Many Fuel Evils MAY INSURE STORAGE CHICAGO, Oct. 16 Coal will be cheaper and more plentiful if storage is practised by consumers, the coal storage committee of the- -American engineering council said In its report made public here tonight. The remedy for the coal situation rests with the consumers who must be educated to store their fuel, the committee aavs, adding that insurance companies carry policies on coal in storage and it can be financed by banks like any other commodity while labor benefits, according to the committee, by the bringing about of icsmnr jiiuia wnne tno chances of cbal famine will be min imized. Meets Tomorrow The report wa Issued by James tartness, lormer governor of Ver mont and president of the council, whose administration board meets here tomorrow.

It was prepared by a main committee headed by W. L. Abbott, ot Chicago, and aided by more than 4U0 engineers in all parts of the country, co-operating with the s. Coal commission, the Depart ment of Commerce, the geological si'rvey ana tne bureau of mines. Among the facts disclosed was that for seasonal storage, from nine to ten per cent of the annual consumption is all that is required, the report ex plaining: i 7 Reserve "If this amount is supplemented by additional reserve storage of no more than seven per cent there will result au accumulation of some tons of coal in storage by September 30 of each yar." i Declaring storage of coal to be ne cessary an aid in solving the national coal problem and in securing an adequate supply of coal when needed, the report; says 'If each 'coal consumer will adopt the ofv annually purchasing coal on a uniform monthly dellvery basis, there will result automatically sufficient-seasonal storage to guaran tee coal, to, the consumer as needed.

Furthermore, this policy will bring about a uniform demand for coal whereby coal producers'and carriers may establish uniform and standard production and shipment schedules. Remove Evils It will also remove the evils of intermittent operation of coal mines, frequently panicjry market conditions and coal shortages due to inability of the carriers to meet peak Equipment has been developed and may be secured to meet any storage situation or requirement. The cost of such equipment may be as low as a few cents per ton of capacity. Storage of coal presents no serious risk of loss from breakage, spontaneous combustion, or loss of heat value or-firing qualities. All kinds ot coal have been and may be successfully stored.

The cost of storage per ton Including fixed charges on equipment, main, tenance and operation expense and interest on investment in coal as well as taxes and insurance' in most instances is from 50 cents to 75 cent per ton yearly for large storage plantsandfrom to $1.50 per ton yearly for small plants storing from a few hundred to a few thousand tons. Transportation O. K. Transportation facilities are adequate to handle the ordinary normal movement of coal, but to increase facilities to handle the present peak loads would cost $12,000,000 and such un Investment is not justified, the report said, adding that the carriers have more to gain by storing coal than any other class of consumers.
