ROBINSON READY
FOR CLOSING DRIVE
Nominee to Enter Four More
States Before Campaign
Ends Saturday.
Ey the Associated Press.

GJ tIlS ASSOClGIeu PTeSS.
PEORIA, ILL.,, October Ex-senator
Joe T. Robinson, Democratic vice presi-
Dental nominee, began the last week
of his long campaign tour today.
The final days of the longest cam
paign tour ever undertaken by Demo-
cratic nominee found the Senator pre-
pared to carry the Jeffersonian banner
into four States before returning home
to Little Rock to vote and await the
election verdict.
Robinson has been in the Solid South,
unvisited by a nominee of his party
since. the Civil War, in the Far West
and in the Middle West, where, he has
been making a strenuous bid for Re-
publican and Progressive votes. The
immediate job he has set for himself is
to clinch votes In Downstate Illinois,
hoping that when the ballots are count
ed in that part of this important, State.
the ordinarily strong Republican major
ity will be cut to such an extent that 1t
will be unable to overcome the Demo-
cratic vote in Chicago, which managers
OF the Smith-Robinson ticket are pre-
dieting.
To this end Senator Robinson has set
himself in readiness to make four formal
addresses in Illinois, to be supplemented
by numerous appearances on the rear
platform of his private car Democratic
leaders called out voters to hear Senator
Robinson in Peoria this afternoon. To-
night he is to speak in Springfield,
Tuesday morning he plans to leave for
East st. Louis, detraining at Decatur for
an afternoon address
Then he will invade Indiana for three
speeches, then into Ohio for appear
ances at Lima and Dayton. At Clarks-
burg, w. Va, the nominee is to make
his final campaign thrust next Satur-
day night.

RAsKoB Halls INCREASE.

NEW YORK, october 30 (AY.-John
j. RaSkob, chairman of the Democratic
national committee has given the As
sociated Press the following statement
on the great increase in registration
figures for 1928:
"The stupendous task undertaken by
the Associated Press in compiling
statement of the registration through
out the country should be applauded by
all citizens. Every effort of this kind
which tends to stress the Importance
OF the franchise does much toward edu-
eating the citizens of the United States
with respect to the great responsibilities
that go with the privilege Of voting.
Regardless of the outcome of this
campaign, there can be no question but
that great good has been accomplished
IN the direction of stimulating the
people to take a more active part in
politics, because this is the only man
ner in which the future destiny of the
country can be determined
1T Is most important to the future
well-being of our country to note an in
crease in the registration figures from
over 29,000,000 four years ago to a.
100000 this year.
I sincerely hope that this interest as
shown in the registration will continue
to election day, and that there will be
corresponding increase in the percen-
tage of those who registered to vote, as
the right to vote Is an obligation which
should be considered almost sacred by
all citizens who possess it."
Efforts to get statement from Gov
Smith, at Mr. Raskobs home at Clay
mont, Del, where the governor was
week end guest, failed, it being ex-
planned that the governor was too busy
on his Baltimore address.

Chicago shows registration this
year of 1,386,631, compared with the
vote of 1,064, 1895 four years ago.
The so-called foreign vote, center OF
conflicting claims by the rival major
parties, will be the largest in history.
According to the Foreign Language In
formation Service of New York City,
which has completed survey OF 852
publications printed in 16 languages,
the total number estimated is 7.50O,OUo,
compared with 100000 in 1920.
In some States, notably New jersey
and New York, there have been thrown
out many thousands of alleged illegal
registrants,, with the possibility that
the list will be further reduced before
election day.
While the huge registration is being
acclaimed on all sides, there is ny IN
the ointment in that 1t is well within
the realm of probability that the hnai
result will be late. In the event OF a
close election the public may have to
wait a full day until election. boards
can tabuIate the enormous floods OF
ballots. In New York City, hundreds
of new polling places have been created
and provisions have been made to allow
those standing in line to register their
votes if they ars unable to enter the
polling places before the closing hour,
pm.

CHURCH AND STATE
HELD VITAL ISSUE
DR.. A. c. Dieffenbach Claims
Religion Is Real Factor
With Voters.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, October 29.-Dr. Albert c..
Dieffenbach of this city, editor of the
Christian Register, whose discussion Of
church and state in politics during n
speech before the Institute of Public
Relations at Charlottesville, Va, last
August aroused considerable DEBATE,
Yesterday made public statement de-
fining his position. He predicted that
more people would vote on the ques-
ton of church and state ut the presi-
dental election November than 81
any other issue in this extraordinary
campaign.
Recent developments" he said,
strengthen the opinion I expressed on
the importance of religion in the minds
of the citizens at the Institute OF Pub
lie Affairs when 1 was misunderstood
by those who did not get a clear report
of my address The past month there
has been a display of more intelligence
and restraint under provocation on the
part of the voters In coming to de-
cision ON this subject than many per-
sons believed possible. But one VINO
has faith in democracy and the plain
sense of the people has no ground Tor
fear.
Discuss Issue Frankly.
"The best thing in this whole CAM
paign is the fact that we now discuss
the issue frankly. We have learned a
fundamental truth-that the Nation is
spiritual in its foundation and the cor
ner stone is religious liberty. We can
and do demand liberty without being
called bigotS or intolerants, when there
is difference of opinion as to what Is
meant by liberty.
There are those who believe this
country led by Roman Catholic PreSl-
dent would preserve and enlarge rellg-
ious liberty, especially man Ike Gov.
Smith. Others raised q question about
the doctrine of the Roman Catholic
Church in this matter of church and
state. They oppose the Catholic theory
of the primacy of the church over the
state as enunciated, for example, by
John A. Ryan in the volume. The
Church and the State If they believe
the doctrine of absolute separation of
church and state is paramount issue
it is their duty to act accordingly.
Issue Now in Open.
1.-TWO theories of the relation of
church to state have been contending
with each other for hundreds of years,
but we face the issue now for the first
time A monarchic religion. such as
the Roman Catholic Church teaches,
men say, is bound to be monarchic in
its political practice. Protestants in
great numbers hold this statement is
true That is why we have the issue
today"
IT do not want to witness the rise
Of Roman Catholic party in this coun-
try, for it would lead inevitably to a
Protestant party" he concluded: THAT
would be disastrous to the democracy.

NATION AWAKENED,
HOOVER DECLARES
Large Registration PortendS
Record Interest in E!eC-
ton, He Feels.
BY the Associated Press.

Herbert Hoover considers the unusu-
ally large registration for the presiden-
tial election as evidence that "the en-
tire electorate is alive to the Importance
of the issues in this campaign and that
the homes of America are going to par
ticipate as never before in shaping the
verdict on election day.
The Republican presidential nominee
expressed this view in statement to
the Associated Press and declared as
well that the registration increase 'is
one Of the most wholesome develop
ments in our political system" He
termed both amazing and gratifying
the enormous enrolment OF women in
every State in the Union"
Chairman Work of the Republican
national committee interpreted the reg
istration as more evidence of Repub-
lican strength" The increase, he said,
could be largely accounted for by the
enrolment of women who never have
voted before.

 14S Arrests Last Year
 There were c46 arrests made Tn Berlin during 1927. Oi this number 1JS were made for violation of the motor vehicle laws while SS arrests came under the head of breach of peace. Judge George c. Griswold of the Berlin town court said that this number was q decrease from the total arrested in the year of 1926.
 Automobile cases always lead the list in the number of arrests be- cause of the state highway that pass through town and offer many chances for speeding. The largest docket of the year was held at the first session Of the court in Novem- Der when 33 cases were before the court for disposal. Of these cases S3 were for violation of the motor vehicle laws and were the results of | drive being conducted by the state police department under the direction of Commissioner Robert Hurley.
 The sessions of the Berlin town court are held on Tuesday evenings iu the town hall except in the case of . special trial. Judge George C. Griswold presides while C. r. Lewis represents the town as prosecuting attorney. There are seven constables representing Berlin, East Berlin and Kensington. They are as follows: Frank Brown. Georke Kanupka, William J. Ritchie. John Hackett. Orville 6. ventres. John P. Lewis and Enrico PoIa. The money reaf- ized from tho motor vehicle cases is turned over to the state and not to the town, as many people think. However the state keeps care of the state highways that run through towns in the way of repairs and the clearance of snow without any cost. The report Of the money taken in the court and their expenses appears in the annual report every year.
