In 1915, although the Republican
candidate for President carried the
state. the Republican candidate for
Representative in the Thirty-sev-
enth District won by only 2.7oO
votes.
It is obvious that the normal vote
Of the district Is not TO be calcu-
lated on the figures OF 1918 and
1920.
There is consequently no way Of
establishing today what the normal
vote of the district is. Men well
acquainted with the politics Of the
counties in the Thirty-seventh dis
trict believe Mt should be Republi-
can by 10000 plurality. With the
total vote reduced by one-half, the
Republicans should have looked for
a plurality of 5000. Mr.. Henry got
5000 plurality, or two-thirds of the
vote due him. In the distribution OF
yotes there are numerous factors
which must be taken into account,
such as the personal popularity OF
individuals.
There is no sure way OF determin-
ing Wnetner MS bldnu d6dihot NAo
Volstead act did Mr.. Irvine harm or
good. It certainly helped him in the
cities. and probably injured him In
the rural districts. TO which Mr.
Henry owes his election. In its inal
consequences the wet and dry IS
sues may have resulted in a standoff.
II that be the case, there is
shrinkage in the Republican vote In
the Thirty-seventh district, and
due allowance being made for the
personal foilowlngs OF the candi-
ates, this shrinkage brought Z tn
Republican vote below normal.
Tuesdays election in the Thirty
seventh district furnishes no con
elusive evidence on the question OF
the Eighteenth Amendment or the
relative strength OF the two parties
The element OF personal popularity
ana the weather conditions may
have meant much more in the result
than is estimated. Moreover in a
small vote the larger falling on gem
orally is in the rural sections, which
are the dry sections. In the villages
and cities where Il is easier for the
voters to reach the pools naturally
the vote is relatively larger.

Tuesdays Election
(From the New York Herald) &.

The Republican candidate for
Representative won by only s,Os7
plurality a tthe special election in
the Thirty-seventh Congress Dis
trict on Tuesday. The Democrats
and the vets find this figure a sub
ject for jubilation. They compare
sOs7 with 2s,750. the plurality
the Republican candidate Ia 1920.
But the greatness OF the chang
Is more apparent than real
The total vote in the 1920 cleo
ton was 1924. The total vote thi
week was only 3s,511-scarce
more than half the vote at tn
Presidential election.
What is more to the point, the
election of 1920 was the greatest
Republican sweep in the history of
New York. Harding carried the
state by more than a million.
The Democrats and the vets tri
umphantly recall that the Republi-
can plurality in the Thirty-seventh
District in 1918 was 5000. That is
true. but 1918 was a Republican
year up State. Governor Whitman
poled 225,000 votes more than AL
Smith above The Bronx. Again, in
1918 the women were already vot-
ing. The total vote in the Thirty
seventh District In 1918 was 60, 900,
or nearly so per cent. more than the
total vote OF this week.
1t must be remembered that the
Republican candidate who polled
the large pluralities OF 10000 in
1913 and $4,000 in 1920 was Alanson
B. Houghton, a very popular man in
the southern tier. and that Judge
( Irvine, the Democrat who ran
Lewis Henry such a close race this
week, is also popular.
For adequate comparisons OF
Tuesdays result we should go back
to years when the total vote for
representative in the Thirty-seventh
District was about the same as this
weeks total vote.
In 1902. in total of $4,000, the
Republican plurality was 5000.
In 1905, in a total vote OF $1,000
the Republican plurality was $500
But OF course In none OF those years
was there a woman vote.
In 1912. the Democratic candidate
won by 1900.

The fundamental issues' OF the

Editorial Opinion
rHE PERsoNAI RATIo

From the New York Tribune.
The truth of Admiral Mahan's
contention that armament is mere
ly an incident to diplomacy justifes
the Secretary OF States concern over
the attempt to underman the navy
As the great admiral wrote ten
years or more ago. "the numbers
and constitution OF the navy are a
matter to be determined by inter-
national considerations, and not
merely by those which are domesti
and internal to the country"
As director OF the country's for
eign policy therefore. Mr.. Hughes
may well protest that the proposed
cut in the personnel Will impair the
nations prestige and ieopardize its
security. When he stresses the seri-
Gus consequences that may follow n,
] having adopted the 5-5-3 ratio.
we now voluntarily relinquish our
relative strength. he carries the ad-
dltional weight OF being the author
OF the naval ratio agreement. The
entire principle OF the ratio. he
points out, was based on existing
strength. Upon what terms. then.
shall we enter future negotiations II
we accept an inferior position by
impairing our allotted proportion9
The ratio 5--5-s IS something
more than a mere matter OF tonnage.
1t represents naval strength as a
totality. Although we have reduc-
ed our navy we have kept our rela-
tive position. The balance thus
effected Is not aolne one of ships
and gun power. but includes. ispso
facto. the size OF the personnel.
To cripple the personnel means TO
cripple the feet. This means to
upset the 5-5-s ratio. As VIII
liam Howard Gardiner aptly puts A.
In letter TO The Tribune. the Of
ficer and enlisted personnel OF the
United states Navy should be equal
70 five-thirds OF the officer and en-
listed personnel Of the Japanese
navy, and under no circumstances
should It be less than the officer and
enlisted personnel of the British
navy"

HIGH PRICES PREVAIL
 AT NEW TOWN KANATAK

ANCHORAGE, Dec. 22. - Prices paid in the gold rush days of Alaska again are being charged at the new Alaska oil town of Kanatak, in the Cold Bay oil fields, where the Stand ard and Associated Companies are planning to drill.
 Pork and beans at Kanatak are $1.25 a plate and hunks at the Kanatak road house cost the same One reason for the high price is that Kanatak is on the open sea and all supplies must be sent ashore from the ships in lighters. It costs $ll ton to get the supplies ashore and $3 to send a passenger to make the trip. Recently it was so rough al Kanatak that a vessel was unable tc unload and returned with part of its cargo to Seward. ..

WORLD WAR ON OPIUMEVILI IS
 URGED

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22.-Initial steps toward an international war on the illicit drug industry, particularly opium, have been taken by Mrs. An gala c. Kaufman, known locally as the "angel of the county jail" who has sent a letter to President Hard ing asking that he use his best of fees for an international agreement for the control of drug distribution.
 Mrs. Kaufman took this step ss a result of the efforts now being made by President Huf-Thih Chang of China to stamp out tho opium evil in his native country. To this end the Chinese President is said to have appointed a large committee, includ- ing military and civil authorities and a member of the International Anti Opium Society. This committee has as it's aides members of all educa- tional, missionary and anti-vice so- cieties in China.
 Wants World Pact
 In her letter to President Hard ing, Mrs. Kaufman asked that he recommend to Congress that an in- ternational agreement be entered into between the United States, England, Japan and China for the control of the distribution of all habit-forming drugs She also asks that commis- sion be appointed to investigate the drug traffic in the United States at the present time.
 America cannot win the fight alone" Mrs. Kaufman said, in dis cussing the letter. "The nations Of the world must join hands to stamp out this evil. It is not a question of arresting 'dopes' and incarcerat- ing them in prison, or catching the little peddlers. We must get the big importers. But beyond this we must have an international agree ment. The fight will go ahead in Cuo Uu1l0u StdIOo, but "O "A'A " to bring all of the nations Of the world into harmony in an honest en' deavor to stamp out the menace at it's source"
 Hospital Urged
 Mrs. Kaufman is conversant with the drug in all its forms. During her social work in Los Angeles she has come in close contact with drug addicts and has first-hand informa ] ton of the effect of opium, morphine cocaine and other drugs. During g year spent in the Orient Mrs. kaur man devoted large portion Of hel time to the investigation and gather ing of data on the opium industry in China.
 As a preliminary step in California Mrs. Kaufman urges such measures as the construction of a State hospl tai on San Clemente Island, about sixty-five miles from Los Angeles for the curing of drug addicts ant the curbing as much as possible oi the smuggling of narcotics.
