THE POPULAR VOTE | The election today finds 20 states uncertain; and 13 others are not considered safe for either party. The | political writers have done their best to tell what will probably hap- | pen before the event; but at the same time they admit there are un- | forseen probubilities everywhere. The elections of 1920 and 1924 were sham batiles compared with this one; there wasn't a doubtful state ! in the Union and almost anyone could tell in advance who would be elected. But not so toda Thig is a year when counts”—even in Connecticut, here- | tofore regarded as certain ground | for the Republican elephant. The result has been that nearly every- one -entitled to vote has registered. The popular vote throughout the nation is destined to be around 40,- 000,000, The percentage of voters| actually voting is almost certain’ to surpass the percentage of former year. The records show that the popular vote during the first 40 years of the republic was ridiculously low. This | was due to the fact that the legis- latures in a majority of states at first chose the presidential electors, which in such states obviated the pecessity of presidential voting by the people. As late as 1824 six leg- islatures continued to hold onto such power, The Constitution states that | the presidenfial electors shall be| chosen only in such manner’ as the legislatures of the 'states may di- rect, and it was some time before all of them directed that the elec- tors shall be chosen by popular vote. Since.1828—100 years ago—the record of the popular vote has been | kept devoid of error. From that time | on it began to grow. The total num- ber of citizens voting for president in that year was 1,156,328; and this 9.4 per cent of the population. Let it be noted that this percentage re- fers. to population, not to eligibles. By 1376 the percentage Of voters to population had risen to 18.5. From 1580 on the records give the percentage of eligibles who actu- ally went to the polls. In this year 9,218,251 citizens voted, this being 84 per cent of the voters. By 1916, n 18.486,849 voted, the percent- | every vote | whe! age of eligible voters who went to the polls had dropped to 70.5 per cent. Then the new The women were given the vote, having acquired no voting habit, and q not being greatly in- entered. and element many of ti terested in politics, the percentage of voters who actually voted dropped alarmingly. In 1920 the total of vot- ers who went to the polls was 26,- 674.171; or a percentage of 50.9.

Glimpsing a list of the election. dis- tricts in each statq we fnd that it has the fewest in number of any state in the Union. Connecticut bhas 169 voting dis- tricts. Rhode Island, smallest state in the Union, has 196. Delaware, not much larger than Little Rhody, has 219. i We in this state have the voting The sixth ward in New Britain is said to have the largest total of electorates of any ward in the United | States—at Icast Judge Mangan, who | tried to locate a ward with a larger | voting list, some time go said he was | the big cities have more voters per ward than our sixth, but the big city | wards are divided into many pre- cinets, Voting districts, one would think, would be most numerous in the most populous state. But even on this basis the palm does not go to New York, with the largest population. New York has only 7.818 voting districts; compared with 8,512 in California, | 0 in ‘Ohio, and §569 in Penn- sylvania, Throughout the New England states the voting districts are fewer in number compared with the popu- lation than in other sections. Economy in pursuing elections is the rule. In this . the New England town system of government electioneering system is conducted. HARD ON THE CONDUCTORS | This appears to be an age when | everything is tried at least once— and sometimes an experiment turns } out to be all that is hoped for it. The latest innovation to arouse the intetest of a public nearly surfeited with novelty has been a conductor- less orchestra. The American Sym- phonic Ensemble, making its debut at Carnegie hall the other day, played an entire program .of Bee- thoven without beuefit of baton, and theratens to do something of the sort at regular intervals. Conductorless orchestras started in Europe and so far have'entered into the art life of approximately a dozen cities. One of the advantages, of course, is reduced overhead, Prima donna conductors come’ high, and theére are reports currentthat some of them are not worth what they are getting. Of course, no con- ductor worth his salt will admit as much; still, the rumor persists. The conductorless orchestra of New York started successfully; the critics had no scrious fault to find. Indeed, they found Tewer. flaws in the performance than has been found with many a performance un- der the dictatorial sway of a baton, cspecially first performances, If the musicians can prove: in this way that conductors are an unnec- cessary encumbrance the Mengel- bergs, the Stokowskis and the Kous- eeviskis can return to their original employment. At any rate, if the public discovers (hat the symphony orchestra can do even passably well without ‘conductors some of the lustre of the conductors is bound to be worn off. It is about time. PICTURES WITH SOUND A dispatch from, Japan says that the Japanese are not even remotely interested in “pictures with scund,” such as are exciting cinema addicts in the United States. The Japanese have been having something of the sort all along, hence are not inclined to take seriously the Caucausian ef- forts to add mechanical sound to their machinistic efforts. Throughout the Orient, it appears, skilled speakers always accompany | shows.

Or something of that sort. . Anyway, the old question has lbeen raised, .can squirrels swim? Natur. ally one would think naturalists knew all ‘about it. but they don't agree. Same say squirrels can’t swim at all, saying they are not equipped for it, But such as make this claim cannot explain how squirrels get or ROt across nivers: they only know they ‘are on both sides of the streams. A few weeks ago the skipper of an oys‘er steamer on Long Island Sound told the world that he had seen a squirrel swim, and the eru- dite New York Sun promptly de- voted considerable space to this im- | portan: phenomenon. The skipper's story was this: That pelicans had attacked a gray squirrel, which in crder to foil the pelicans jumped into the water and swam to his boat. The skipper rescued the squirrel and set it at liberty in a safe place —something that perhaps the squir- rel know: would happen when he set out to swim for the boat. The ekip. per declared the squirrel was a fast swimmer, using its tail as a sort of turbine. Some naturalists, pondering upon the' lack of equipment a squirrel possesses for swimming, do not 80| 30 far as to claim a squirrel cannot swim in a pinch, but merely say it cannot paddle its way through wa- ter. The skipper's evidence, how- ever, would go to prove that a squir- rel may not choose to swim, but can do so if pushed to it. The Ohio State dJournal, taking up. to' the theory that squirrels actually can swim; and also leans heavily upon the stories of squirrels being able to paddle which were told by Judge Oliver H. Hughes of Hillsboro, Ohio. | According to the late judge, “e saw squirrels immigrate from Ohio into Kentucky by swimming aecross the Ohio river. Let there be a season | when nuts were scarce in Ohio, the judge used to say, and the squirrels would cross into Kentucky in search of nuty. The Ohlo river is a rather wide stream, but that didn't bother the squirrels when they needed more susténance than could be found on thé Ohio side, “There have been squirrel wmigrations from Ohio,” remarks the State Journal, “that fact be- ing known to early day histor- fans. In such movements squir- rels would be numerous on the Ohio #&ide one week, the next week OMe would be minus the squirrels and the Kentucky hills would have many. Bridges were not built in those days. Some hunters claimed they had seen the squirrels swim, others be- lieved these little people of the woods could swim when neces-. sary.” In the face of this evidence—at least logical deduction—there re- main some scientists and naturalists who, pondering over the physical structure of the squirrel, claim the animal cannot swim. How did they reach all sections of the country long before the American Indian got there if that were not the case? Ask the squirrel admirers. Not being a laboratory naturalist, but‘ being swayed by practical considerations and some’ hunting experience of our own, we conclude that squirrels can swim when the situation demands an imitation of ducks. 25 Vears Ago Today Although Berlin is a no license town this year, it is reputed that ilquor is being sold there, and re- ports are being made to the prose- cutor.

Has man ever achieved | 80 high a temperature? | A. The actual temperature at the sun’s surface, or what appears to be the serface—the photosphere | —is unknown, but careful calcula- tion suggests that it is'from 5,000 degrees to 7,000 degrees centigrade. | ‘The ‘interior is vastly hotter. What is said to be.the highest temperature produced by man is reported from ; the University of Leeds, England, by a mixture of ordinary manufac- tured gas and oxygen. A reported temperature of 7,677 degrees Fah- renheit (4,247 degrees centigrade) was obtained in these experiments. Q. Who were the Dalton { brothers? A. Emmett and Bob Dalton were famous train and bank robbérs in Oklahoma Territory, about the year 1890. They organized Dalton’s gang and perpetrated many bold robberies.
