Now, what's poor fellow to do?
put 1t up cold, sir, to you;
Can Q man who's respected
At all get elected
While they're raising this cry and
this hue?
What speak ! about, do you ask?
Why have you been asleep every
day?
man can't this fall
KISS a baby at all,
For the mothers at once tell him
nay!
This here polio germ is around,
And the doctors, whose wits are
unsound,
q Say q candidates kiss
Might send baby to bliss
And they'll spoil our campaign.
SIsll be bound!

If you care for heavy hair tha

 Just one application doubles thl beauty of your hair besides it immel diately dtssolves every particle of danl druff; you cannot have nice, heavy
 healthy hair if you have dandrufd This destructive ~scurf robs the hail
 of it's lustre, its strength and it's verl life, and if not overcome it produced
 a feverishness and itching of thl scalp; the hair roots famish, loosed and die; then the hair falls out fast
 If your hair has been neglected anj is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or toI oily, get a 25-cent bottle of Knowll tons Danderine at any drug store oI toilet counter; apply @ little as diI rected and ten minutes after you wia say this was the best investment yo1 ever made.

EBxx Rx2k 1V~ w - MONDAY SET FOR ELECTION HEARING Judge Joseph P. Futile to Hear N. L. BeCkley'S Protest CLAIMS ELECTION BY NINE
Judge Griswold to Oppose Colonel
 Jarvis for Representatives.
 sington Residents Invited to Meet With Committee on Annexation.

M As a result of the protest made by SzsAorman L, Beckley, the democratic nominee for first selectman, to the superior court yesterday, a hearing has been set for next Monday morn ing at 10 o'clock before Judge Joseph P. Futile. Papers were served on Judge filling yesterday, MT. Beckley claiming a majority of at least nine votes in Mondays election. The lat ter has engaged the law firm of Pierce & Pierce of Hartford to look after his interests. The protest is made on the grounds that three bal lots were thrown out in the third dis trict, East Berlin, and seven in the second district, Kensington.
 In the eastern district MT. Beck ley alleges that the three ballots thrown out materially affected hts interests. They were rejected by the moderator because there was a cross. mark at the head of the republican column and an "X' in front of his name. In Kensington MT. Beckley makes the allegation that the modera- tor threw out the ballots in question when his box was marked and there was no mark at the head of any E column. There were no marks t. pshow that the voter cast his ballot for Judge filling.
 According to a Hartford publica- ton, Judge filling was interviewed and he said that owing to the IaSs7 II&s kitty on the part of William H. Gib- hey, the deposed first selectman, there were no shelves in the poi~g booths and the voters were compelled to hold the ballots against the wall in writ ing. He naively suggests that this might be responsible for the misun- derstanding.
 Voting System Wrong.
 According to prominent democrats the present voting system in vogue here is entirely wrong and several in situations have been made that the fact the returns in the first and third ffistricts were known was the cause of the repeated counting in the sec ond district. This was brOached tc republican who officiated durtn? counting, and, it is said, he replied SYes that was unfortunate"
 The democrats also arc prone tc make light of the statcn1"0- in thc republican publication which said that the closeness of the rCro was at trlbuted to the efforts of William IT Cihney. They assert that the new political machine in the rank7 of theil opponents was the cause of the ap taarent displeasure, with the republi can ticket and smiled deeply at the statement that the new machine was headed by ex-Senator Claude w. Ste vens and Charles F. Lewis, claiming

man, while in other places the mod orators declared that only where the figure 1 was used did the voter legally express a preference for that office, the x simply giving the candidate a vote for membership on the board. The rulings made no material differ ence here, as MT. Johnson's plurality was too large to make a contest ad- visable.
 Throughout the state dissatisfaction Is expressed with this feature of the ballot. Hundreds of voters who seemingly intended to declare for a particular candidate for first select man failed to use the figure 1 and their ballot counted only in the se- lection of the members of the board. An effort will undoubtedly be made to have the legislature change the law.
 Plainvil1e however, Is to consider the purchase of voting machines next
 Monday night and judging from the
 sentiment expressed on the street its
 worries over the intricacies of the next month.
 Brief Items. Mrs. w. J. Hemingway has re- turned from Providence where she had been visiting for several days. The directors of the Business and Improvement association will have a regular meeting tomorrow evening. Mrs. George M. Cameron and son of New Haven are visiting in town.

The November Election.

I pOlllCdl nOnOTS.
 The November Election. [ Followers of Woodrow Wilson in this town are jubilant over the appar- tnt split in the republican party and claim that in the November election be will poll more votes than any pre- Ceding democratic nomiee. The hope is also high that a democratic repre- sentative will be sent to the legisla- ture, despite the workings of the new machine.
 Republicans who cast their votes for MT. Beckley at Mondays election say that the next representative will he of their political faith and there is a rumor that Judge George GrisWold will be asked to oppose Colonel Charles M. Jarvis at the caucus, which will be held October 13. Those on the inside, it is said, have made the asser- ton that Colonel Jarvis nomination was a certainty but others claim that Judge Griswold will secure the nomi- nation.
 Kensington Up.
 There vii be a meeting of the char ter revision committee of the city of New Britain in Mayor George A. Quigley's office tomorrow eveningsat o'clock. The question of annexing I>ensington to New Britain will be dis cussed and the committee cordially in Vtes all residents of that community to be present and express their views on the subject.
 This is the first time the matter has been given much publicity in the Hard ware City, but it is known that several Kensingtonites have long desired such. l rTNl. water supply has long been in the minds of many. Although the Ken sington Water company has held charter for some time no preparations lave been made for furnishing the community with water
 Large real estate owners in the dis trict are considerably pleased with the idea of annextion, according to reports. They maintain it will have then necessary effect of boosting land values and will bring many desired i and necessary improvements.
