Illinois these factonal differences in the main
upon the candidate for governor. and are not likely
to affect the electoral of the State but in In
diana the outlook is one that must make the most
sanguine supporter of Senator Harding worry. The
fight of the indianapolis News upon the party or
ganization, and particularly upon its candidate for
Senator is so savage that it cannot fail of effect on
the electoral ticket AS the forecast of 1916 set
at naught in California and Ohio, so this year it
is quite likely to fail of accuracy in Indiana. But
there can be little doubt that ip its general fore
shadowing of three-to-one vote for the Repub-
lcan ticket in the other States it win prove substan-
tally accurate.

The Bewitching Autumn.

Indian summer surely the "vamp" Of the
seasons. Spring is a coy adolesccnt Summer the
full-blown but unsubtle beauty. But Indian sum-
comes decked in strange rainbow robes, lam
guorous as the summer but with provocative
undertang of the frost to come. Also, every day
she stays with cut in the coal bill
Moreover she is unmercenary beauty. Her
heady charm is given alike to flvverite the owner
OF a I2-cylinder touring and plain pedestrian.
Travellers in autumnal roads are free partakers of
natures joy in the fulfilled season. To enjoy the
communion wine of the fall all that you have to
do is to turn your steering wheel steps toward
any country road.
Capital people will perhaps find the greatest
measure OF pleasure the Conduit Road or the
river and canal-bordered Canal road overhung with
trees the side and with its view of the
Potomac version of the Palisades on the other
Walkers will enjoy the towpath by the canal and
the "close-ups" Of quaint life the numbering
canal boats with the white curtained windows OF
the captains cabin at the bow and the mules
fo'castle in the stern And if the pedestrian will
take a hook and some string along he may sit
himself on the canal bank and perchancc haul forth

To the gasoline-driven wanderer the country

bright gold the woods seem to break into funeral
pyres in honor Of the passing year that has not
served us badly. If luck stays with the motorist,
he will come upon some roadside campfire and into
his nostrils will float the odd, poignant fragrance
OF wood smoke which will rouse race memories
of the younger world in any human being-mem-

Concerning Presidential Polls.

Along about this time" the Farmers Alma
nae used to say OF rain, look out for Presidential
polls They coming upon US thick and fast
They gathered by drug stores-which should
surely have the dope" They reflect the matured
wisdom OF the attendants upon the movies. They
are gathered at the gates Of baseball parks, and
they Systematically arranged by prominent pub
lieations. The striking fact about all OF these is
chat they put Senator Harding invariably far in
the lead.
The first poll OF the Literary Digest always
eagerly looked for by politicians published last
Saturday. 1t covered six States, four OF which
went for Hughes in 1916 This years figures in
the poll given in the following summary:
The Washington herald., 1920-10-19
1916

Now in 1916 Ohio in which State the voters
in the Digest's poll gave Hughes slight plurality,
did in fact give Wilson a plurality Of 10000 when
the official vote was cast, while California also
reversed, though less emphatcaly the verdict cast
BY the straw voters. 1t will be seen therefore that
in 1916 the percentage of error in a forecast
based on the poll OF these six States was 80 I-3
per cent-quite enough if carried through the list
of doubtful States to destroy its value.
But while this historic fact may we'll deter
people from taking too confidently the deductions
based polls Of this character it would be foolish
to. underestimate the importance of this one. To
begin with, straw vote taken among subscribers
to publication Of this character is to some extent
what the politicians call high brow" Now it is
among the ntellectuas, the college professors the
clergy and people of international interests that
whatever turning there has been from the iRepub-
Ecan to the Democratic party the league issue
has appeared But this shift is not visbly regis
tered in the straw vote taken by publication cir
culating largely among those classes.
= Another fact to be considered in connection
wsth this poll is that while it shows a very heavy
psponderance of Republican sentiment in Illinois
and Indiana it taken largely before the bitter
fSetional fights in those States had reached stage
whicheis most discoursgng to the Republicans. In

Orchestra Seats for Fred
Stone S Play Put
At $3.50.
By o. o. MTNTYRE.
Special Correspondent of The Wash
fnRton Herald.


New York, Oct. 1s.-Fred stone
makes his appearance in his new
play this year in a sudden and spec
tacular manner. He is heard by the
audience going down the cellar.
There is an explosion and a figure
crashes through the stage sending
splinters flying. The figure is COW
cred with white foam.
After turning a somersault in the
air, Stone lands on his feet with
the remark: We'll, folks, l put in
one too many raisins" He has dis
carded his lariat this season for a
black-snake whip which he cracks
with skill. He whips a cigar out of
"a fellow comedians mouth, a letter
out of girls hand and a watch out
of another comedians pocket.
Incidentally stones show marks
the peak of high prices in the the
ater. The orchestra seats are $3.50.
II the spectators succeed as they
usually do with hits the best seats
will be sobbled up and the price
will probably be $40 each.
There is no denying that the
audiences miss the appearance OF
Fred stones partner, Dave Mont
gomery. who passed on several years
ago. He was not a great comedian,
but Re was a foil OF incompatible
worth and il is doubtful if anyone
will ever be found to supplant him.
Stone is never called before the cur
tain that he does not pay tribute to
the companion OF his early strug-
giles.
Goodbye in Any Tongue.
Tommie Gray, the Broaway wit,
was talking TO a friend in front OF
the Astor. AS they separated the
friend said: "Au Revoir"
What's that?" asked Gray.
"Au Revoir." repeated the friend.
That's goodbye in French"
"o!" said Gray. well, Wood Al
cohol-that's goodbye in any Ian
guage."

No doubt there is a sob story in
the advertisement in a morning
paper which read: For Sale, Croix

New Name on Broadway.
A new orchestra leader has come
out of California. Art Hickman
came from San Francisco six months
ago and won the Broadway hooters.
Now they are hailing Paul White
man from the same city, who is lead
er in Broadway restaurant. They
have his name up in electric lights
just as Hickman's name blazed on a
Fortysecond street roof. Hickman
led his orchestra with the drums
and was rarely seen. Whiteman is
also unobtrusive which is a decided
contrast from the cavorting leaders
Of the jazz era. Incidentally the
most popular dance tune so far for
the fall season is Feather Your
Nest" Another one is Honolulu

that both are hall room boys but

1t will be noted that the two great seaboard
States OF New York and New Jersey report from
four to five times as many votes for Harding as
for Cox. In this the poll seems to coincide with
the opinion OF the Democratic campaign managers
who have obviously abandoned all hope of those
States, and are virtually making no campaign in
them.
No poll, however, is infalble as political
guide. But it does afford certain character of in
formation upon which shrewd politicians can base
estimate of the probable result 1t is interesting
at this moment to compare the figures in the
Literary Digests poll Of 1916 with the results that
followed in that years election. The following is

of the Salvation Army in this district
for the period of one year
Rescue Week" has been set from
May IL to 20, and during that time
the Salvation Army's appeal for funds
will be sounded throughout Colorado.
The program calls for the completion
of several buildings now in course of
construction, the erection of some ne
cessary new ones, improvements 10 eX-
listing structures and general eXten-
sion of the Army's work into every
county in Colorado.
In addition TO the requirements for
general state purposes, building pro-
grams have been approved or are now
being considered as follows:
Denver, $4,000; Grand Junction,
$4,000; Colorado Springs, $4,000 !;
Pueblo, $4,000; Trinidad, $4,000, and
Boulder, $1,000.
An analysis of the S65,HO budget
to be raised in Colorado during Res
cue Week, to provide funds necessary
to carry out the work laid down by
the advisory boards in convention al
Denver on March 25th, shows that
every dollar of the fund is to be spent
in Colorado in one or another of the
many activities that mark the service
rendered by the Salvation Army to
the state.
None of the money will be used for
foreign purposes, as the Salvation
Army realizes that the emergencies at
home must be the first consideration.
Practically all of the major activi'
ties of the Salvation Army will be
centralized for operation throughout
Colorado from the divisional head
quarters ut Denver.
Salvation Army service everywhere
is the slogan the Army is raising, and
with the successful completion of the
program this service will he supplied.
