E. Church. In connection with the American Leglon program for the state, the Bolton-Kasica post of Berlin is con- ducting & membership drive and in the next few weeks will make a determined move to increase-its # wmembership twofold. The new offi- cers of the post were installed into ofice last Friday and they intend to make the coming year the most successful in the history of the lo- cal post. First steps in the drive for mem- ' bers will be taken Friday evening, November 9, when an important busineass meeting will be held in the Legion hall in Kensington. Besides the present members of the post, all ex-servicemen in town and for- mer members who wish to renew (helr memberships are invited to be present. Those interested are usked to come to the meeting to nee what the post is accomplishing © and the advantages of being & member of the post. All standing committee chairmen will be elected at the meeting. Hoavy Balloting Steady streams of voters were at ‘he polls in the three districts dur- ng the day indicating that all pre- vious records for the total high vote n town would be shattered to pieces before the polls closed at 6 o'clock his evening. The women were very much in svidence during the morning, es- pecially in the first and second dis- ricts, and it is expected that prac- ‘ically all of the women electors #ould take advantage of their srivilege. At 9 o’clock this morning. hree hours after the polls had spened, over 25 per cent of the voters in the first district had cast :help ballots. The second district was also the scene of heavy voting during the early hours of the morn- ~ng. With 1,705 residents eligible to vote, figures during the day indicate that at least 1,500 would cast their ballots. Both parties had active au- tomobile squads in service during the day and on account of the heavy trafiic in Kensington, it was necessary to have a traffic officer on duty at the corner near the Ken- sington pest office. The republicans are claiming that Hoever will carry the town by an overwhelming majority but the lieavy vote in Kensington this morning encouraged the democratic leaders and they are confident that Smith will make a great showing. * The results of the election in town will not be known for at least two hours after the close of the polis, If there are very many split tickets the count will take much longer.

When Mod- erator John E. Lamb declared the polls open at 6 o'clock this morning the Town hall was already jammed with early voters, and all threugh the day lines of men and women fled through the polling place in such numbers as the town has never before witnessed. George A. Jones was first in line today and had the honor of casting | the initial ballot. Detween 6 and 7 o'clock 360 voters, mostly factory workers, passed the checkers and operated the machines. Then the rival fleets of automobiles which had been marshaled by the two major parties began to sweep through the streets and bring housewives to the polls during the hours when their husbands were working. The num- bers in which the women turned out .| today were amazing to the election o | workers, the polling place being & | practically filled throughout the |morning by members of the more recently enfranchised sex. The republicans had established {auarters in the building inspector's office and the democrats in the firemen’s room, arid from these cene ters the squadrons of cars were di. rected in response to telephone calla from voters wishing transportation. Governor John H. Trumbull cast his vote at $:50 o'clock. The total vote at each hour, to- gether with the total at the cor- responding time four yvears ago, was as follows: 7 o'clock . 8 o'clock 9 o'clock 0 o'clock 11 o'clock o’clock o'clock .. “en Tn 1924 the total v 1304. By 11 o'clock today the Vote had climbed to within 29 of this figure, and by noon, with only half of the voting day over, the 1924 |total had already been exceeded by 99. By 1 o'clock more * than two- thirds of the registered eclectors had halloted. The total registration is 12318, Moderator Lamb was assisted by the following workers: Checkers, Mrs. J.

A, Case Stricken—Items, Greater interest is being manifest. ed in today's election than has ever been displayed before, according to city officials and members of the democratic and republican town committees. Both parties are pre. dicting & majority, the republicans basing their claim on the fact that the city has in past elections been overwhelmingly republican while democrats point to the strength of their national and state ticket and the fact that at the election today 2,- 260 new voters will assist materially in swelling the total votes of their candidates. Both parties agree that the silent vote will be a tremendous factor in the outcome of the day's voting, It i{s also expected that a record vote will be cast with at least 80 per cent of the electors appearing at the four polling places, Concern was expressed this morn- ng by election officials over the pos- sibjlity that the machines assigned to the various districts would be in- sufficient in number. The first di trict, with 3,184 voters on the list, would be seriously handicapped in the event over 2,800 voters appeared at the polls. With four machines it would be possible to vote but 2,860 at the rate of one a minute on each machi The second voting district with two machines, operating on a one voter a minute basis, could vote 1,440. 1,378 names appear on the I The third district, with four voting machines, has 2,909 names on i}'s list and the fourth district with a like number of machines, has 2, 847 names. One machine, held in city hall for emergency purposes, may possibly be used in the first dis- trict during the afternoon.
