Smiths Power Put to Test

The political power Of Governor
Alfred +. Smith is put to the test
in both the gubcrnatorial and senate
contests in New York state. The
Democrats brought out against Sen
ator James w. Wadsworth, Jr., Robert
+. Wagner and the Republicans count
cred by drafting Representative
Ogden L. Mills. who represents the
Fifth Avenue district, to run for gov
crnor against Smith.
With both Smith and Wagner avow-
cd vets. prohibition became an i'm
portant issue in the campaign with
the Democrats accusing Senator
Wadsworth Of turning political flip
flops on that question by voting
against the Eighteenth amendment
and then supporting the Volstead act.
Prohibition also was an issue in
Ohio. with former Senator Atlee
Pomcrene seeking 10 wrcst the sem
ate seat from Senator Willis, Repub-
lican, one Of the chief spokesman in
the senate for the drys.
Added interest is given to the Ohio
situation with Governor Donahey
seeking reelection and with both
DOnahey and Senator Pomercnc
looming as possible Democratic pres
idcntial timber for 1923 in the event
Of their success in Tuesdays con-
tests.
Huge expenditures in the Pennsyl-
vaniA and Illinois Republican prima-
ries served to focus public attention
on the battles in those states for sen.
ate seats. William S. Ware, Republi.

HALLOWEEN

Halloween has greatly changed since

that these pagans Of Lands End"
observed their greatest celebrations
on the ewes Of May Day and Novcm-
Der l. The supposition is that these
times marked for them the two great
divisions of the year. when as n pas
toral people, they drove their flocks
out to summer pasture or returned OF
winter.
Once Began New Year
The beginning Of the year was APP
parcntly dated from Halloween, as
evidenced on the Isle of Man. which
long held out rs fortress Of Celtic
and where New Years was in recent
centuries celebrated at this season.
Many Halloween customs arc trace
able to this New Year influence. The
numerous fortune telling tricks and

These fires also were lighted as a
