College Women Prefer
College Men for Husbands

How much education docs col

fer as husband a man who has been
college trained to one without such
academic preparation for life?
According to what 1851 of Rad

subject, the college woman most de-
cidcdly prefers the college man, for

A per cent of 1867 who have re-

VISITING THE BATTLEGROUNDS

One can guess from where the
main candidates choose to do their
talking az to what sections of the
country are doubtful.
Following Herbert Hoover across
the continent we find that he made
one speech at Cumberland, Nd,
where it is hoped enough Republic
cans will crop up in Western Mary
land to wipe out the Smith ma
tority expected in Baltimore. He ap-
pears in Louisville. again calling to
mind the Kentucky battle-ground and
the southern outlook. Then
he makes a big speech in St. Louis
again indicating how aroused the
parties are over Missouri. Then. on
the way to California, he will let
himself be seen and admired at
station platforms.
Al Smith, in his recent talks in
Boston. Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Newark, indicated to the country
where those cities are located
with perhaps the exception of Phila-
delphia. unless its proximity to
southern New Jersey meant any
thing.
Yet no matter where the candl-
dates speak. their words are flung to
all other sections of the country.
Except for the chance It gives local
crowds to see the candidates. it
makes no difference where they talk
But the chance to be seen as well as
heard etill looms large in candi-
dates calculation. There is vast
difference in past and present cam
paigning in some respects; but not in
the theory that to permit crowds to
vantage. II that were not true then
q candidate could save himself the
trouble of moving about. and save
his party considerable railroad OK
pense. by merely remaining in one
city and doing all his talking there.
But that isn't being done because it
Is the belief of political managers
that the candidate who cirCulates
throughout the nation during A
campaign makes votes for himself
and the party. All of which rather
supports the opinion that the pub
lie wants more than words and facts
In a campaign: they also want q
show, or something for the eyes as
we'll as for the ears and minds.

So the Bill Collector
Waited and Waited and Waited

Several young men who have q
fancy for playing practical jokes on
their neighbors are enjoying a quiet
laugh at the expense of q particu-
larly determined bill collector whose
home is In Berlin.
As the collector gum shoed along
Main street Friday morning he was
stopped by one of the group who
inquired for his health and asked
whom he was seeking. The COL
lector gave the name OF tho man
who owed a client q bill. The
practical joker looked sharply up
the street and said: Here's the
man you're looking for" The un-
suspecting collector grabbed his
victim. explained his business and
announced that he wanted pay
ment. The victim" having re-
'ceived a wink as a signal from the
perpetrator Of tho joke. adopted the
role of the man who owed the
money. He tipped his hat to the
coHecfor to impress him with his
Importance, pleaded that he was a.
poor man. explained that he had an
expensive car which was In his
wires name ana asked for more
time to pay The collector was
ondurate. By this time other
members Of the group had gathered
ana, informed of what was trans
plrlng, egged on the collector, de-
hounced people who refused to nav
their just debts and declared thew
should be put in jail.

unless all signs fail the election will
be much more peaceful than a SINH
lar event in. say. Chicago.
General Mccoy. representing the
United States, has announced that
his troops are we'll dispersed: that
his helpers are even better dispers-
ed: that if any voters show dispo-
sition to start something. well, the
military will be able to finish what
is started.
1t will be fair election, General
Mccoy states. Even the Nicaraguans
admit there is no chance for fraud.
As important as anything else is the
news that all citizens entitled to vote
can do SO without fear of running
into a shooting ARRAY at the polls.
These will be heavily guarded. and
when the times arrives to count the
ballots there will be no allowance
made for monkey business. Sensible
people in Nicaragua rather like the
prospect. They have had so-called
elections in the past and what has
happened has not always redounded
to the prosperity of numerous indi-
viduals.
General McCoy's ideas about a fair
election leave nothing overlooked.
All drinking places will be closed for
the day, so that no trouble seekers
can be spurred to action through the
influence of Demon Rum. Interpre-
ters will be on hand to dispense in
formation to citizens seeking it..
American watchers will be plentiful
everywhere. The Yankee Hold on the
machinery OF election will not be re-
linquished until the final results are
announced.
All of this takes place under sus-
pension of the country's electoral
law Of 1928, which was superseded
by a decree of President Diaz plac-
ing into effect the proposals of Pres
ident Coolidge for an election super
vised by the Americans in co-opera-
ton with a National Board of Elec-
tions composed of General Mccoy,
DIR. Ramon Castillo and DR.. Enoc
Aguado-the latter two representing
the two political parties in Nicara-
qua. Upon proclamation of the re-
suit of the election. however, the
electoral law of 1928 returns into
force and effect.
The candidates for president are
General Jose Maria Moncada, for the
Liberals; and Adolfo Bernard for the
Conservatives. The current belief is
that the Liberals will win the cleo
ton; but then, that is only belief.
One unique feature of the election
tomorrow is worth mentioning by
way of comparison with elections
nearer at home. The government
appropriated 100000 for the ex-
penses of the day, but little more
than half that sum will be necessary.
Sounds like a small potato affair:
but unfortunately it does not in
clude what it costs Uncle Sam to
maintain the marines in Nicarag qua
not for one day. but for the length
of time they have been there.

Contest In NcwinGt0A
BASED o. JudSeship


When the next legislature con-
venes It will be asked to raise the
rank Of the court In Nswineten -
that cases may be tried before q
judge instead of 4 justice Of the
peace. Behind this simple statement
may be found the reason for the re-
cent contest at the republican caucus
when two candidates sought the
nomination for representative.
Although the fight on the surface
was between Representative Han
bury. who sought 4 rsnomination,
and D. X. Perry. the opposition can
didate. it was actually q test OF
strength between Justice Barrows and
Justice Wellea It 10 well known that
representatives. because of their po-
sition OF authority. are usually sue
cessful In recommending the judges
to be appointed. This 10 . time
honored custom Of both major politt.
cal parties. To the victor belong the
spoils. The party in power distributes
the patronage.
Anticipating q republican victory
on election day-that is a victory TOR
the state slate--the Newinston fac.
tons were anxious to dictate the an.
pointment OF Z Judge II the court is
elevated from its present grade, The
Hamburg faction 10 said to favor the
appointment OF Justice Barrows to
the judseship. The Perry fac.
tion stood for the promotion
OF Justice Welles. But the
Perry hackers were late. It
did not become generally known that
Perry's name would be entered ~ a
candidate for representative until the
day before the caucus. Friends Of
Representative Hamburg must have
expected to face opposition because
the Hamburg machine rolled along
smoothly at the caucus and defeated
Perry's supporters. The latter had
the backing Of SOME OF NewinRton's
best known residents but the ballots
told the story.
