 George White collected $2S.000 Monday from the first nighters who saw his new Scandals" Those who sat in the first rows paid S55 q seat for that privilege, but the prices came down 10 normal after the ini- tial performances.
 With Ann Pennington, Willie and Eugene Howard, Tom Patricola the Mccarthy Sisters and the Fairbanks Twins among those present, the critics seemed to think it was worth even the price Mir.

There was a slight drizzle, with rain threatened, as the match began. but the center court was in excellent condition, having been kept covered.
 Mrs. Jessup and Miss Goss de- feated the British pair. 6-i. 6-2,
 The Americans played hard hitting game. The British played well, but their services were weak er. Mrs. Shepherd-Barron's back hand was inferior.
 During the second set the Amer jeans continued their strenuous style of play, going to the net often. The English women proved poor doubles partners. Mrs. Lam bert Chambers seemed slightly off form and Mrs, Shepherd -Barron's service was weak.
 The doubles victory, with the singles of yesterday, divided, gave the Americans two of the necessary four matches to win the cup.
 Under perfect weather conditions, Joan Fry, of England, defeated Mary K. Browne Of the United States, 3-6. Go, 6-4. giving England and Ameri- "a two matches each out of possible seven.
 Miss Fry played a hard hitting drive game and her service was bet ter than yesterday. Miss Browne made a strong recovery in the last set. keeping her head admirably and playing to tire her opponent. She used a strong overhead at the net often. It was the first match Of the tournament to go to three sets.
 Mrs. kitty McKane Godfree of England defeated Miss Elizabeth Ryan, American. 6-1, 5-7, 6-4.
 The Ryan-Godfree match was hot lv contested and the latter's victory gave England a lead Of three match cs to two. America had 10 take the remaining two matches to win the cup.
 Mrs. Godfree played a steady back court game.
 Miss Ryans chief weakness was in netting her backhand shots, Her overhead game was excellent and her service very strong.

(By Charles Cheney

Protests continue to pour in against
the present system of receiving and
counting votes in Minnesota. Al
though in most of the state the vote
was lighter than normal, election
judges were compelled to work in
many cases 80 hours or more without
sleep. The count of votes could not
begin until after 9 p. M, which is
later than in other states of the un-
ion, and this made for annoying de-
lays in tabulation. The worst feature
is the overwork imposed on election
judges and clerks. Making the pre-
cincts smaller is only palliative, and
it means increased expense.
The Aitkin Republican sees two SER
ious defects in-the present election
system. 1t says:
Throughout the state there is a
good deal of criticism being directed
against customary voting procedure,
and the Republican feels inclined to
Join in the chorus. In the first place,
the hours during which the polls are
open are unnecessarily long, and in
the second place there should be both
a quicker means provided for the
counting of ballots and for reporting
returns to the county auditors office.
AS it is, election officials are put to
a very inconsiderate drudgery, while
candidates, who are running in close
races, are under the strain for some
times as long as four days, and all
of the voters are kept waiting for
news of the results"
Two remedies are quite widely dis
cussed. One is the obvious one of
closing polls earlier, say. at to 2
p. m. as in most states. The other is
the Kansas plan of double election
boards. The st. James Plaindealer
says:
THE all night work of the election
clerks and judges at the recent cleo
ton again brings forcibly to the at
tention of the people the necessity for
some change in our election laws so
as to permit two sets of judges and
clerks and perhaps two sets of bal
lot boxes. If a second set of judges
could begin counting the ballots, say
right after noon, in another room
and with another set of ballot boxes
for the voters to use in the mean time,
the count of ballots could be kept up
close to the voting and the results
could be known within an hour or so
after the polls close.
''In the second ward of St. James
the election clerks and judges were
on duty 80 hours without even rest or
sleep. They were utterly exhausted
and their health impaired. It is not
right to ask any man or woman to be
put on such a strain. There are few
precincts in the county that it did

Against Long Election Hours

not take practically all night to tabu-
late and count the ballots, and that
meant in st. James "a hour stretch
of work and in townships 81 hours OF
continuous work. If legislation Is
necessary, then such legislation should
be passed at the coming session of the
legislature"
The Anoka Herald has similar ideas
for relief, presents them as follows
at is high time to consider few
election day reforms.
"F'irst as to voting hours. The
nonsensical plan of keeping the polls
open until nine in the evening should
be discontinued. Six o'clock is late
enough.
people who are unable to cast their
ballots between six in the morning and
six at night should be permitted
absent voters ballots to be filed the
day before election and turned over
to the election boards on election day.
"Then there should be two sets OF
judges and the counting judges should
get to work counting ballots already
cast several hours before the polls
close.
"This system would cost no more
and would reduce the time consumed
by election boards. 1t would make
for speed and accuracy.
"There are a number of improve
ments which can be made in our cleo
ton machinery. These are only two
of them"
minnesota leads in everything
else," says the Little Falls Trans
cript. "Why should we be behind in
closing our polls on election night ?
The person who cannot vote by p
m. should be made to register his
choice as an absent voter
The Hibbing News, along the same
line declares itself:
ALREADY there is a changing from
all over the state for the amending OF
the election laws, and particularly
that section which provides for hold
ing the polls open until 9 o'clock at
night. Two hours can be Topped off
without the danger of depriving any,
body of a vote-and if the voter CAM
find time to get to the polls before
z o'clock in the evening he is toe
slow, anyway.
"The legislature will probably rem
edy the defect.
"It should do that.
Another demand with some per
sistency back of it is for duplicate
sets of judges and clerks at the poll
ing places, a provision that would
carry the counting of ballots RICH
along with the voting, and the result
would be known within few minute
after the closing of the polls. Looks
like a fine idea. Would save a lo
