pressed over the refusal of congress
to pass farm relief legislation, Ae-
tion on ,his, it is felt, would have
saved the situation. 1t is now too
late to expect any effective legis-
lation and the Coolidge leaders are
no longer depending on it. They
have, in effect, dismissed congress
from consideration as an asset and
except for the hoped for passage
of the tax bill, they look for no
aid from the legislators.
Instead, the whole campaign is
to be centered upon showing that
the president has done we'll under
tremendous handieaps in appealing
for election not only of Mr.. Cool
idge but of a thoroughly Republican
congress. The democrats will be
blamed for the failure of this con
gress to function. The progressive
bloc will not be assailed-at least
not in the west.

THE RELIGIOUS ISSUE

In this country, where separation Of state and church is q foundation tenet, religion has no place in politics, Yet bigotry and intolerance rule the minds Of millions in the land and we find the religious issue thrown bodily Into the convention of major poiti- cal party with the possibility that 1t might rule the minds of citizens throughout the campaign for choice Of president.
 The political leaders who forced this issue to the front did badly as poli- ticians and have wounded the internal peace of their country.
 Obviously. the klan issue, both pro and anti. got out of bounds; there al- ways is this to expect when question upon which millions of persons deeply feel Is degraded by being dragged into the realm of politics. The political arena is no place to settle matters that have no bearing upon politics, or even to discuss them. The trouble lies in our political parties attempting to be too all-inclusive in the public ques- tions upon which they attempt to take a platform stand; and in their ambi- tions, spurred on by factions having spacious claims to further. the bound- ary line between common sense and folly is easily crossed, as has been the case in the Democratic convention.
New Britain herald., 1924-07-01
FRACTIONAL VOTING

No, the fractional voting at the Democratic convention by some of the states, including Connecticut, does not indicate that some of the delegates have fewer votes than others and that the one-half, one-third, and three- tenth votes one reads about are the re- suit of some delegates of state dele gation being worth more than others in the balloting.
 In the case of Connecticut, for in stance, which well serves as an illus tration for the other states where frac- tions are registered, permission was given the state by the political powers that be to have more delegates at the convention than the state has votes. In other words, the state organization wanted to send more delegates than the original allotment called for.
 The state is entitled to fourteen votes at the convention, but there are seventeen delegates. When the entire seventeen delegates vote, however, only fourteen votes are recorded. Con- sequently each delegate amounts to less than one vote. It takes ono and three tenths Connecticut delegates to make one vote. Those having fresh minds for arithmetical calculations, or who can figure 1t out in algebra, can check up on the Convention's experts.
 When the entire delegation of seventeen persons votes one way it is easy for the calcuators. as it merely means fourteen votes registered; but when they split, careful figuring and tabulatng Is necessary

 Across from the little jail. With scowling grin he drew his guns,
 And shot all OCT the place. And broke ihe glasses into bits.

 And his face was pale and gaunt. Hard on the bar the bad man rapped, And said in his snarly drone: Now jest ynh fix up fer mo
