yesterday that the electoral boards are
supreme in the exercise of their duty to
appoint judges Of election. They can
appoint any number they choose Of
the party holding the primary. 1t was
commended by some that the provision
that the judges should be named by
electoral boards ION application" OF
party committee meant that the cleo
toral board should name the judges
designated BY the party committees
Attorney General Pollard yesterday
ruled otherwise. Sneh interpretation.

Now Attorney~Geperal Pollard, being
asked for an OPTION in the matter.
discovers that the fight was all for
nothing. Il makes absolutely no diff
ference that this clause In the new
primary Law does not provide a prison

monwealth hold that where an act liz
made a misdemeanor and no specific
penalty is provided for. the penalty Is
a fine or. Imprisonment. or both.
In other words. If any judge OF cleo

primary election of August 3. he puts
himself In jeopardy of term in Jail.

The world may be growing older. and
all that, and perhaps the people In II
really are growing older at the rate
OF sixty seconds a minute, but there
wasn't any sign Of Il last night in WASH
ington.
Halloween has been celebrated for some
time; In fact. since about the year when
the first Scot discovered that Scotch
whfskey and that depressed feeling next
day furnish a fine example OF cause and
effect.
In Washington II has been celebrated
for a considerable time with flour and
beans and dances and eating and drink
Ing and walking about the streets and
such stories rs this.
c. Chaplins In Plenty.
Il is q temptation TO say that there
never was such a celebration as that
last night. and to prove II by saying
that there never were 20 many people In
Washington before except at inaugura-
ton time. But that doesn't sound con-
vincine any more: II has been used ever
since somebody In the early days put
his finger on the map at a point Just
this side of the Potomac and said to
himself:
II think this would be a good place for
It."
Anyway. there were enough Impersona-
tors Of Charles Chaplin-deyfls COLLINS
ghosts. women. men. boys, girls. and
ordinary nuts-on the streets to crowd
the ordinary Chaplins into the movies,
the ordinary devils down into the ground,
the ordinary goblins and ghosts up into
the air. and the ordinary women. men.
girls and boys. and ordinary nuts out
into the street with the rest Of the emo
tionless machines.
1t was subject for much comment
that there hadn't been s. many mad
masqueraders on the streets at any time
There were q whole lot of them. and
those who didn'- wear costumes at least
as people who were by way
of having a good time.
