HERALD'S PLANOGRAPH TALK OF THE TOWN

The HeraIds playograph, upon which the world series games were Duplicated, has been the talk of the city, and well it might be. Before the series began it was a matter Of debate as to just how many hundreds or thousands would find the time and possess the inclination to watch the games. This point is no longer de hated; the results have spoken Tor themselves.
 The game yesterday broke all "previous records" The previous SIX rames had brought out crowds that damned Church street from the Herald office nearly to Main street, but yesterday the frenzied public was damned like sardines to Main street -and most all were Senator rooters-

Policeman on Duty as
 New Voters Are Made"

Because of an aItercation that arose in the corridors of city hall last year when voters were being made, the board of selectmen opened their annual session this morning with a policeman on duty near the common council chamber.
 During the last session, Mayor A. M. Paonessa, who was the democra- tic nominee for reelection, and Judge George ". Klett. republican state central committeeman and law partner of Paonessa's opponent, Judge B. w. filling, became embroil- ed in a discussion as to the propri- ety of having political workers in- side the council chamber. AS re- suit of their argument, Alderman J. Gustav Johnson and others were or dered out of the building during the selectmen's Session.

SHENANDOAH COULD FLY TO
 THE NORTH POLE

Now that the Shenandoah has flown to the Pacific coast without mishap, there is a revival of plans in official circles to have the dirigible fly to the North Pole.
 Such a flight, on the surface, would appear to have no practical purpose; but some day in the near future flights to the Pole and return will he comparatively common and the Shenandoah. it is argued, might as well start the custom.
 If the Shenandoah could prove to the world that such flight were de- void of danger and could be made within a comparatively short period, 1t is said the trip would be well worth taking in the interest Of acronautic progress.
 The only feature that causes hcsi- tation is that should something hap ponto the ship ah2, tho i"'" waste fl wou't be at a erious disadvantage On ths other hand, should anything happen to the ship in a temperate cline the lives of those on boar" would be endangered just as ef- rcciivcIy. Dirigibles have dropped and killed nearly all on board be- fore and such accidents have hap pened in the midst of civilization.
 The Shenandoah has a cruising capacity Of thousands of miles, it is pointed out. and with mooring masts at several points in the far north could dash 10 the Pole and return without difficulty.
 In negotiating the mooring mast at Fort Worth, Texas, the dirigible hooked up with it in the dark, Its remarkable said Admiral Moffett' Think of a crew in place they had never seen before, negotiating mast which had never been used before

TICKET MAY BE ON
 MACHINES TWICE
Judge Rules La Toilette Electors
 May Have Two Columns

Albany, N. r.. Oct. 11.--Despite the fact that the names of candi- dates are identical in both parties. La Toilette and socialist candidates for presidential electors are entitled 10 single columns or rows on the voting machine as we'll as upon the paper ballot. Attorney General Carl sherman ruled in an opinion today. The opinion had been sought by Secretary of State James A. Hanail- ton, with request for information as to the arrangement of the names of La Toilette and socialist candi- dates.
 Under certain provisions of the election law, 1t was said. 1t would seem the La Toilette party was en- titled only to have its emblem placed at the head of the column or row of the socialist party because of the same identity of its elector candi- dates. The attorney general, how ever, based his opinion upon . de- cree of the state court of appeals which held former provision of the election law providing the name of candidate shall not appear more than once on the ballot as a candi- date for the same public office" is an unreasonable restriction upon freedom of voting and a violation of the fundamental law.
 Present provisions of election law affecting independent parties the at- torney general declared. are substan- tially the same as those declared in- valid by the court of appeals.
 The official ruling said:
 "The names of the candidates for presidential electors nominated by the socialist party and by the pro- gressive party should be placed upon the voting machine ballot in sep arate rows of columns under or in connection with the proper party name and emblem.
 "The fact that the candidates for presidential electors nominated by these two organizations are identical does not change the rule that in the arrangement of ballots there must be no unjust discrimination between electors in the facility afforded them for casting their votes for the can- didates of their choice"

FACTS ON AMENDMENT, NOT
 FICTION, NEEDED

Friends of the child labor amend mcnt which will be ratified or re- jected by tho Connecticut lcgislo- turc after the first of the coming year have been considerably annoy cd at what they term claims against the law which are not believed to lave been made in good faith. , One Of these allegations has been that the proposed amendment IS of Rolshc'ist origin, and that it Is "socaIistic," Such charges insult the mtelli- gcnce of American citizens, The amendment Was drafted by group representing more than % national organizations the final torm of the measure was written by the Rev. Ernest Johnson of thcl'cderal Coun- cil Of Churches, and then was re- icrrcd 10 Dean Roscoe Pound of the Harvard Law school and other prominent attorneys.
 Owen R. LoVeioy, general secre- tary of the National Child Labor comn4ttee, in making an address in Boston, said the following regarding the proposed amendment:
 IT 1t is socialistic then so is our compulsory school attcnd- ance law, our protective tariff, our postoflicc and our national banks.
 "Wc are charged with an at tempt to forbid every boy and girl under IS years from per forming any useful service even in their own homes or on the farm. That charge is an insult to the millions of people who urged this amendment in con- gress and we do not believe it is made in good faith.
 Eighteen years is commonly regarded as the upper limit of legal dependency and is the proper bound to set in con. ferring federal power. And every state today is in possession of that power and more.
 Already every state possesses the unprecedented power to legis-
 late to limit, regulate or pro- hibit' the labor, not only of per sons under IS years but of those
 above that age"

NASHINGTON'S VICTORY A
 POPULAR RESTIT

POPULAR RESULT
 Victory in the world series of the Washington Senators-not the con- gressional senators but tho more popular baseball team representing the capital-is the most satisfying thing that has happened in the na- tional pastime for years. With here and there a few eXceptions-largcly that part of the sporting element who wagered money on the Giants everybody seemed to have favored the peppery Washington lads; even New Workers appeared to side with them.
 The two teams were the most evenly matched that ever played in such series, according to the base ball experts. Two overtime games testified to their desperately fought character. The Senators rompcd away with the laurcls despite serious setbacks, chief of which were the elimination of their star player, Peckinpaugh, and the failure of Walter Johnson 10 win two of his games.
 But nothing seemed to unhorse the Senator's; they remained in the run ring despite the hard luck that seemed to follow them around at least part of the time. Getting the breaks seems to be an integral part of baseball, and McGraw's men, no one can deny, got more than their share of them in most of the games.
 On Thursday Walter Johnson. venerable hurler, was supposed to have retired from baseball after for the second time failing to stem the onslaught of the Giants. There IS something peculiar about his method of retiring. Yesterday he returned to the mound as a relief pitcher and showed the world he still had de- termination, skill and endurance mostly skill. His idea of winning is also peculiar When he returned to the mound the Giants began striking out in something approaching regu- larity. They thought they had his number after the other two games in which the old master figured, but the latter evidently changed his number for the last game.
 /stanley Harris. who in his early life worked in a Pennsylvania coal mine. is thrown to the pinnacle or baseball greatness. Not only did he show astonishing managerial ability hut he set a mighty fine example with the bat. He had lost his batting eve earlier in the series, but after that home run yesterday he seemed to have lost his bashhllness while at the plate and as. a hitter won much rcnown.
 It remained for McNeeley, who had been hitting below par through out most of the series to drive in the winning run in the 18th inning yesterday. You never can tell" Is one of the maXims of the game, and it applies especially when a batter appears to have gone blind through out a number of games and then his eyesight suddenly returns. There were 100.0O0,o0O people besides Nc Graw who didn't expect McNeeley to do anything when he came to bat in the 12th,- but that's just the time when the unexpected settles the argument
 We now can get back to norma and do our work with our minds off the annual stellar performances on the diamond, In fact, we'll have to get back to politics and prepare for that greater national series to take place in November.

President Coolidge stated:-

If there is anything which is
 dear to Americans. which they
 are bound to preserve at all
 hazards, it is their independence.
 l mean by that the privilege Of
 reserving to themselves the
 choice of their own course and
 the decision of their own actions.
 We do not propose to intrust to
 any other power. n~ c~",'tirotl"r of powers, any authority to make
 up our minds TOT us"
 Secretary Hughes at Cincinnati made the following statement:
 "Our people are devoted to the
 interests of peace. We propose to perform our obligations under
 our treaties and under interna-
 tional law. We have had a gratifying leadership in promot-
 ing peaceful settlements. Our policy has established an abiding
 peace in this hemisphere. But
 the people sf this country would
 never tolerate the submission
 to any power, or group of
 powers, of the determination of
 any of our domestic questions.
 If we are to cooperate. we must
 be permitted to cooperate with
 out the sacrifice of our right
 to determine our own policies"
 John W. DaAs, the Democratic candidate, quickly accepted the gauntlet of Secretary Hughes and characterized is as sterile formula which cannot bear fruit. Secretary Hughes at the Washington confer ence gladly joined with other powers in determining what naval policy we were to pursue, which was do- nestle policy. Davis pointed out that every treaty is give and take docu- ment and curtails the sovereignty of the nations participating, Being bound by the League, of Nations would not materially differ in this respect from the results of treaties heretofore made.
 That our foreign policy has not been directed by the president but by irreconcilable senators, is the charge that Davis makes.
 Secretary Hughes and Davis, two distinguished lawyers, can greatly add to the education of the public by continuing their interesting de- bate.

THE OBSER YER
Makes Random Observations
 On the City and Its People

New Britain is likely to have a woman as chairman of one of its major boards for the first time in the citys history as a result of the re- tirement of pr. Henry T. Bray as chairman of the health board, which Is to take place next month, and tho agitation that has beef started for the election of Dr. Gertrude J. Kin sella as his successor.
 Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa has not been insistent upon the policy in- augurated by his predecessor ex- Mayor O. F. Curtis; in having only members of the party in power as chairmen of appointive boards. Will liam l.. Hatch, a republican, Is chairman of the water board, and William F. Brooks, republican also, is at the head of the park board. Dr. Kinsella is one of the three republican members of the health board.
 Dr. Bray is a democrat and has been chairman of the board three years, taking office shortly after Mayor Paonessa was inaugurated for the first time. The mayor would not take favorably to- the election of q chairman who is not physician, his policy having been to give over control of health matters to medical men insofar as is possible. This was indicated by his refusal to appoint & plumber 10 the board until the H. legality of any other action was im- pressed upon him by the corpora ton counsel. He then named John Erwin. That Erwin will not be the new chairman is practically assured by the mayors stand. The only other democrat is Dr. Joseph H. Walsh, who led the oppdsition to ap- pointing the present superintendent, advocated and voted for a chief clerk other than the one selected this month, and urged and worked for the election of third sanitary inspector other than the inspector who was named at the last meeting. His official relations with the retir- ing chairman are not the kind that would be likely to produce the best of feeling should he be rendered the chairmanship. Mayor Paonessa re- sards highly the dictates of Dr. Bray in matters of health and ad- ministration of the department and election of Dr. Walsh would prob ably be contrary to his wishes.
 Dr. E. T. Fromen, Republican, ac- cepted the ommissionership only after much deliberstion. Although his attendance record at meetings is excellent, he would probably refuse to become chairman because he could not afford the time.
 Dr. M. S. Dunn is a dentist and on that account is not being con- sidered strongly for the chairman ship, leaving an apparent open field for pr. Kinsella.
 Dr. kinsella is the wife of Dr. Michael Kinsella and has practiced her profession here for about 10 years. She is serving her first term as member of the board.
