New Haven. Oct. IS. -- Even though preparations for a special election 10 choose a successor to U. s. Senator Frank B. Brandegee should be made immediately after the election is called on Monday, as indicated by Governor Charles A. Templeton, assuming that the cleo ton would be fixed at the earliest possible date it would not be pos sible for the senator elected to take his seat when congress opens, 1t is shown by a study of the statutory provisions governing special elec- tions in this state.
 Notice Must Be Given.
 The statutes provide that 15 days notice must be given of town cau- cuses to choose delegates to state party conventions, ten days more must elapse before the conventions are held, and the election cannot be held until three weeks after nom- nations are made. The earliest possible date for an election, there. fore would be Saturday, December 6. This would necessitate the holding of caucuses on the day after the November election and the holding of state party conventions on Sat urday, November 15. It is consid cred improbable that either part, conventions or an election would ht held on Saturday, Which would advance the possible date at least two days more.
 Objectors Are Heard,
 There is objection, it is under stood, to interrupting the state and national election campaign to pre- pare for party caucuses, which would necessarily involve contests in many places, due to the numer- ous candidates already announced or mentioned in connection with the nominations. There is considera bIe interest therefore fir the announce .ment expected Monday of the date selected by Governor Tempieton for the special election.
 Extra Boxes Needed.
 Towns which used ballot boxes for the voting face another problem in connection with the election ipas- much as with one election held in October and the ballot boxes sealed Tor Six months In accordance with the statutory provisions, and an- other election in November necessi- tating the use of additional boxes which must be sealed, it would he necessary to provide extra boxes for the special election.
 The law provides that voting ma chimes, which are used in many cities and towns, must be sealed for 9o days following the election, which would permit the use of machines without difficulty. Whether some Of the cities and towns would usa ballot boxes instead of machines, On account of the voting for but two candidates in the special election is a matter that would be left to the individual choice Of the, places af- fected. The law provides that either voting machines or ballot boxes may be used at any election.
 An order of the court is the only means though which ballot boxes may be used ahead of the statutory date.

EXHIBIT SH0 WS
HOW DIRT, WATER
KEPT FROM AUTO


Dirt and water have the. same
ravaging effect on AM automobile
that tuberculosis has on a human
being, sapping the strength and
shortening the life of the vital parts
of an automobiles motive plant.
That it is possible to thwart these
destructive elements by locking
them out of every vital moving part
is being demonstrated this week il
showroom of Ray G. Roberts
Buick distributor for Imperial Val
ely. A demonstration win also b
held all week at the Mid Wintel
Fair at Brawley.
The exhibit consists of q stripped
chassis with ribbons and seals point
ing out the nine vital points where
dirt and water are kept out and
lubricant is kept in by the special
Buick construction. The display
shows that every part of engine and
transmission, from fan to rear axle,
is sealed against the intrusion of
road dirt and water.
The hub and bearing OF the fan
are cOll pitlely ShSiooSu anu o.
equipped with special gear pump
to supply adequate and proper lubri-
cation.
The second point marked in the
exhibit is the steel motor cover. This
not only protects the exterior work
ing parts of the engine but also pre-
vents, moisture from getting to the
spark plugs.
The single unit Delco starter-gen-
orator permits the complete sealing
of this mechanism in single hous'
ing.
Following back along the trans
mission system, the exhibit points
out the methods by which the mul-
tipie disc clutch, Transmission gears
and universal joint are housed and
sealed against dirt.
Special stress is laid on the pro-
peller shaft housing, which forms
The torque tube, or third member
md through which the driving I'M
pulse is transmitted from wheels to
ynassls rather than through the
springs.
