Cummings, former national committeeman, and Mrs, Caroline Ruutz-Rees, national committeewoman, that they would support McAdoo. Cummings and Mrs. Ruutz-Rees, farsighted, had ob- tained the promises long before the battle began to wage.

The lategt flare has been caused, of course,'by the diacovery that the cast of sending some 50 high achool puplls to the senior high in Berlin is going to cost more, Last year New Britain charged a tuition fee of $5 per pupil. This year the rate has gone up to $6 per pupil. Economical citizens in Berlin naturally have been forced to take notice, perhaps with some dismay. It costs Berlin, ap- proximately $12,000 a year to pay The question in Berlin' naturally school? The question has been Now Berlin has the example of Plainville before it and there must be citizens in the town who like the prospect exccedingly. Not only has Plainville a fine high school, but it also serves the purposes of being an attractive civic building, an asset to- be proud of. Doubtless there are an increasing number Berlin who think that what Plainville has done Berlin can do also. Berlin of course can afford to build a bigh school building. All it needs is the will to build one.

Indeed, the musical fraternity is said to possess a huge war chest to fight the general use of moving picture “talkers,” which furnish their own music without the aid of an orchestra in the pit. It is difficult to locate a probability that the musicians can win against the ! so-called “progress of the moving picture industry,” which just now is centered in “talkers.” Making the | sun stand still is no more difficuit. Twenty years ago the only jobs for musicians were those in the | legitimate theaters and an occasional | notel which was uitra enough to mploy an orchestra to furnish music with dining. In the big cities vaudeville houses and and in cities were dance there wcre | burlesque theaters; !large and small there orchestras, There were comparative- ly few musicians. But with the | development of the moving picture industry and the moving picture | “palaces” the demand for musicians | vastly increased. Silent pictures | without music early were found to deficient in “Kick” unless an orches- trd went along with the films; and the orchestra grew bigger and bet- | ter. In a few theaters in every large city the orchestras took on sym- phonic dimensions. Now the movies are beginning to | furnish their own prchestras along | with the pictures. One orchestra is needed to play the score going with | | the show and it then is canned with | the film, to be played in hundreds of | theaters, Manifestly this does not | spell prosperity for the musicians. ! Outside of an organist and a small orchestra for special use in the | theaters, the, whole industry is being greatly reduccd. It may be that there | will yet be as much distress among the musicians as there is among the textile workers, miners or. agricul- | turalists. | The musicians cannot go back to | legitimate stage because the reduced that to the | ofters op- the ] jmoum have larger clties; vaudeville | portunities, but in the larger cities | there are fewer vaudeville houses, | the movies. There are more dance | orchestras than ever before, but not | every musician is able to play in a | dance orchestra, some instrumental- | lists not being used in these at all. | | Night clubs offer scant hope, as these | are likely to grow less rather than | more numerous. | The action taken by the musici {in Chicago is dubious. The object is to force theaters to employ ore tras of a certain size. 1t 15 dif e cult | | to understand how a theater pro- | prictor can be forced to employ a | large organization when he doesn't | wish to do so. The issue wus quick- {1y drawn and has rcached as far as a temporary injunction issucd by | federal court. The musicians put forth ument that hears repeating. They 1y the talkers are a novelty and {that the public won't stand for | canned music permanently; that | incident to | one | with reduced ‘expenses | employing a small orchestra insteac of a large one, the Chicago theaters intend to charge and are charging a high admis to the talkers than to the silent films.

The figures were: Grésn, ‘| 166,535; Welsh 61,03 . Although the returns included but a few precincts in Wayne cotthty (Detroit) the governor apparently had carried every out-state colnty reporting, including those in wi Welsh had claimed 1 strength. Only 40 Wayne cowaty precincts had been counted,: but these, too, gave Green a lead. liam 8. Comstock, democrat, was wne opposed for the gubernatorial nome- ination. Assalls Green % While Welsh had stumped the state, assalling Governor Green's ad- ministration as negligent in road conatruction and responsible for:in- creased taxation, the governor made what amounted to a “silent” cam- paign. National {ssues did not figure in the campaign. ¥ United Btates Benator Arthur H. Vandenberg, republican, was . re- nominated without opposition, ta fill a vacancy and also for the full term commencing next March 4. He will be opposed at the November elee- tion by Mayor John W. Bailey, dem- ocrat, of Battle Creek, unopposed in the primary. In the contest for the republichn nomination for lleutenant governor, Luren D. Dickinson, incumbent, ;was leading Fred L. Woodworth, of De- troit, and G. Elmer McArthur, of Eaton Rapids. Returns from 1,168 precincts gave: Dickinson 83,932; ‘Woodworth 50,861; McArthur 27,313, In the congressional districts, the outstanding contest in the primary was in the ninth district, but partial returns indicated the renomination of Representative J. O. McLaughiin over R. Glenn Dunn, of Muskegon, and Claude’ M. Curtiss, of ‘Luding- ton. Without democratic opposition, the nomination was equivalent to clection. Representative John C.
