for s36O f. o. b. Detroit simply can- not exist. The oldtime aristocratic vehicular look has fivvered past re- call.
 The limousine look Is the smal re- maining survival. It attacks any happy laughing debutante or bank president the instant the door slams and they sink back in what is tech nically known in our automobile lit erature as "miladis drawing room on wheels" It comes on or off the face very much as do the detachable tops that convert an ordinary tour Ing car of commerce into a min1a- ture palace fit to stand before the blazing glory of an opera house with a uniformed attendant handing in a very charming and expensive wife. (The Russian wolfhound is always left at home in the garage in these limousine pictures)
 It is from these same authentic sources that comes the one possible answer to our problem. It appears to be settled that in the near future no American family will be able to exist without a closed car That condition obviously spells the doom of the limousine look. With all de- mocracy riding behind glass the whole occasion for the look vanishes. It will not only be possible, but com- pulsory to ride in a closed car and remain an ordinary, open-faced hu- man being.

INDEPENDENT VOTERS.

Here is the situation in Oonnec- zlt: There are many men of the publican party who firmly believe &t Charles Evans Hughes does not asure up to the standard. Tn so 4ieving they do not cast any asper- Sn on the personal qualifications of b candidate. That he is 8 sincere ] n there is no doubt To their minds ghes is the best man that could sBsibly be placed in the running; & the clements behind him are conflicting as to almost render his 8adtdacy nil and void, to these minds. $ain, the mere fact that the Re- #olican party had to violate the &otity of the Supreme court of the Sited States in order to secure a MusibIe opponent of Woodrow Will
 Is acting as boomerang with the Shk and file of voters no matter lat their party utilization. The words
 the candidate himself have given
 impetus to 8 movement against 8n. It was in 1912 that the then 26tice Hughes as a member of the &preme court was asked to become
 Candidate for the presidency. He &n said :-'"The man who on the Finest judicial tribunal would con-
 Fer another office is fit neither for the
 he holds nor for the one to which # aspires." The inference drawn by # Hughes himself needs no further
 nment.
 &rhat is that phase of the situation. #e other is this: Connecticut normal Sis considered a rock-ribbed Repub- #an stronghold. Past elections prove #s to be true in the majority of in &nces. There are men in the Nut
 bg state who vote the Republican &ket in the national elections, not q any personal likes or dislikes as T as the presidential candidates are &ncerned, but merely because of their 4ief that the G. O: P. is the Hampton for New England and her 8lustries The old line arguments Sd beliefs on the tariff question are Ne criterions for these actions. It NlIows that having approved of the lad of the national ticket these

RexaIl Stores Take Straw Vote.

The results of the November elec- ton, and the name of the next presi- dent of the United States may be published in The Herald before the polls open. This announcement is made by the National Association of RexaH Druggists whose members, numbering over 5000, are now taking a straw vote of over 2,500,000 people from all walks of life and covering every state and territory in the Union. By special arrangement with the

 The fact that the members of the Druggists association operate stores in towns and cities ranging in popu- lation from 100 to 6,0O0,OOO and scat tered all over the country, and that they serve a public comprising all classes, agricultural, industrial, com mercial and professional. gives to this poll a representative character adVt

voters elect, or did elect, the minor
 candidates The state office seekers
 came in on the tail of the comet.
 There has been little splitting of the
 ticket in past national elections. These
 same men who follow those prece-
 dents in years gone by have now
 come to another way of thinking. As
 Republicans they still believe that
 their party IS the real organization
 knowledge that President Wilson,
 whether elected or not, Is going to
 appoint a non-partisan tariff com-
 mission takes away the underp1nning
 from the tariff argument, the main
 reason why Republicans are Repub-
 licans. Also the remarkable state
 ment of Vtscount Earl Grey, the
 British Secretary of Foreign Affairs
 mined to fight to the finish, precludes
 any idea of immediate peace and
 guarantees to the United States a per-
 iod of time sufficient to adjust its
 tariff laws to meet whatever condi-
 tions may develop at the expiration
 of the war. These two phases of the situation give great leeway to Repub-
 lican voters to conscientiously split their votes. They can vote in the na- tional election for Wilson and in the state for their own candidates, pro- viding they believe the nominees Of their party are superior to those of their opponents and will better repre- sent their interests. In doing this they will but follow their democratic friends who, while voting for the President, may cast aside party lines in local and state affairs. There are Democrats in Connecticut who un- doubted1y endorse the excellent ad- l and who see no reason why he should | be superseded by Morris Beardsley l of Bridgeport, a man of whom they | know comparatively little. Judge 1 Beardsley has been out of public life too long to be in the minds of current | voters. In this respect he is not un- l like Justice Hughes. They know 1 Holcomb. They do not know Beards- l ley. They know Wilson. They are l not sure of Hughes.
 Summing up then, the vast major1- l ty of voters in Connecticut like those 1 of many other states have in this year l of Our Lord branded themselves as Independents. That is, so far as the 1 state elections are related to the na- to the principles of their respective | parties they feel at liberty to vote one l way for the nation and another for |, the state. The Republican can step l outside his party to vote for Wilson l while at the same time seeing to it l that the men on his own ticket have his vote in the state. Men and measures have brought about this renaissance. That Is why the nation al committees of both great parties 1 are at sea- The claim that Hughes l simply because he is a Republican is 1 going to carry this state or that must l be qualified because of the unprece- | dented conditions now existing It l all goes back to the new declaration | of independence drafted by the voters of 1916 and signed by the good will been a great awakening, and the light sees a wonderful host of Independent voters.

If the election is to be very close, or just fairly close, one of the chief dangers from it will be that the next administration, whether republican or democratic, will not have a united congress to support it. If Hughes should win, there is scarcely a chance that the senate would be republican,; if Wilson should win, the house might easily be lost to his party. The next president, whoever he might be, would be seriously handicapped by hostile senate or house. It is a time when the governm ent should have the benefit of teamwork among all its responsible embers-Springfield Re- publican.

Mr.. Fairfax was endowed by ma
ture with keen perception of what
was best in agriculture in its broadest
sense, which, together with his long
experience and the friendship and
confidence of the leading breeders of
the country, which he enjoyed to the
fullest extent, made him inValua bic
as president of this association. Fur
Their. he was active and untiring in
his attention to everything that per-
tanned to the welfare of the associa-
ton and to his efforts is largely due
whatever success has of recent years
attended the administration of its af-
fairs.
Although modest and retiring. Re
never hesitated TO express his opinion,
or TO act positively, on any question
that arose In the management of the
association, and so frank and high
were his views on every subject tina.
those who differed with him were al
ways impressed with admiration for
his judgment, courage and chara cter.
II Is no eNag Seratian to say that his
untimely taking Oft leaves a vacancy
tn the office of the presidency OF the
association that cannot be filled
Therefore. be II resolved by the
board of directors of the Virginia
State Fair Association that in the
death of Henry Fairfax the State Fair

spected and beloved associate; fur

ton be spread upon the minutes .:
