whether the party sands to gain os lose through the increased registra- ton. of course, will not be known until the votes arc counted. But there can bs no denying that the nomination of Smith has aroused the electorate to do or dare to m ex- tent hitherto unknown.
 The lesson is obvious. To "get out the vote" only requires . live candi- date and no side-stepping of issues. When half the people remain at home during an election it means they resent the useless politics and issues involved and 1t is their way of saying that it makes no differ ence who wins. That manifestly is not the case this year. People on both sides of the political fence closely resemble fanatics in their al- legiance. They are studying the candidates and the issues and the statements made by the candidates and their aides as never before. Whether many will change their votes once they get started in the particular groove they like to travel in is a question. But there can be no doubt that the electorate is aroused. inspired and ready for ac- tion.

ADD AND SUBTRACT

There are two ways to figure an election result. One way is to total the electoral votes of the candidates the ultimate and simple way.
 But when we discuss how . state is likely to 90 in the election one should not lose sight of the fact that the potentialities are like double edged sword.
 Take New York. for instance. 1ts IS electoral votes are no more no less. But if the Republicans land them it means 45 for the Republicans and 45 less for the Democrats. If the Democrats get them 1t means 45 for Smitr and the same figure less for Hoover.
 The actual contention. 50 far as the parties are concerned, Is for 90 votes, and not for 45. It is the same with the majority in any city. We are accustomed to say a city was carried by candidate by. say, 1000 votes. On the surface that looks like 2,000, but autually it would only require change of 1000 voters to the other side to wipe out the 1000 majority.
 Which is one of those things about politics that add to the uncertainty and increase the frenzy of the work CTS.

THE NOBLE EXPERIMENT

The noble experiment seems to have made notable progress in New Britain during the past few weeks. We do not remember a time when so many liquor cases have figured in the local police court. The fining of young girl for selling liquor seems to have been a climax. The threat of the prosecutor to indulge in pad lock proceedings gives an inkling of the effort being made to ennoble the experiment still further.
 The noble experiment is one that produces much laying. It seems to be no trick to find q plenitude of victims, and the only disconcerting feature is that the supply is inex- haustible.
 The efforts put forth to ennoble the noble experiment cannot do other "iSC q polilISdl ClltbtS too. One can guess the effect if one tries hard enough. The political cam paign, of course, has nothing in com- mon with the efforts being made to enforce prohibitions: but the latter has a political effect, all the same. This it would be useless to deny. Raids and arrests galore give satis- faction to the prohibition party in politics. but they also have a po- litical repercussion in another direc- tion. More need not be said. Let the raids during the campaign continue. They may be more effective than political rallies.
 Unless there is a change made in the kind of prohibition we have there will never be an end to what we see and read about. It may be noble experimental ones imagination is good enough to war rant use of the adjective-but 1t will never be successful one.

GETTING OUT THE VOTE

In vain have we waited the ar- rival of propaganda from the get. out-the-vote organizations. In 1924 there was a pile of it. According to the view widely held at the time, the nation would go to the dogs if more citizens didn't vote. Only half of them voted, 1t was declared with emphasis and with one hand on the book filled with statistics. Then when the 1924 election was over and a new crop of statistics was at hand it was discovered that in spite of all the propaganda and the frenzied calls to save the country from the vile attacks of the absentee voters the percentages had not materially changed. Half the voters continued to remain away from the voting ma chimes.
 This year, however. despite the lack of propaganda, there is evidence aplenty that all the records for vot- ing strength will be broken. It is a dead town indeed that cannot show an amazing increase in the total registration strength. Instead of 29.- 100000 people going to the polls in these grand United States, the out look is for 40.000,0O0.
 This is an Intriguing outlook" at last Americans seem to be taking their duties seriously. Why is it that they suddenly have been, converted to the advisability of voting?
 The secret must be located in the personality of Governor Smith and the issues he has put before the peo- pie. It is impossible to believe that had the Democratic party nominated anyone else that there would have been this widespread interest in the election. Governor Smith has inject ed issues that run deep in the public conscience. The increased registra- tion represents sentiment for and against him and all he stands for:

What's become of Mabel Wake

Whats become of Mabel Walker Willebrandt? Her campaign speeches suddenly have failed to be featured in the papers. Perhaps she isn't mak- ing any more, which would be re- markabie considering the emotional feryor with which she spoke several weeks ago. Or perhaps she is back in Washington to earn her salary. Or. again perhaps, she has been called off by her superiorA seeing that she was making votes for the Democrats. No matter which per haps'' happens to fit. the lady will not soon be forgotten.

HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUMs

Construction of high schools with out auditoriums large enough to &C., commodate the student body is prac- tically unknown at this late day in human progress. Those who. oppos- ing the plan to enlarge the present hfsh school. also oppose the plan for an auditorium of sufficient size, seem to us to be straining at gnats.
 When the high school is recon- structed it will not be for the present only but one to last for generations. Foresight is necessary, and not 60 much present sight"
 Suppose, instead of enlarging the present high school at cost of S540, ,00o, a high school were con- structed elsewhere at a cost far in excess of million dollars? Has any, one yet aroused himself to remark that the new 31.0OO,000 plus high school would be one without an auditorium? No one to our knowl- edge has yet made such a suggestion.
 This auditorium hullabaloo is merely a little extra dust that is be- ing scattered about. A high school without an adequate auditorium is the exception; if there are any re- gently built high schools without an auditorium the cities owning them are not proud of them and most likely are sorry for the penny-wise- pound foolish policy.
 When New Britain enlarges the present high school. or adopts the alternative of constructing a new high school at twice the cost, let there be TO more foolish talk about saving" money by eliminating the auditorium. If that were done the coming generation would never cease laughing at the amazing parsi- mony and lack of foresight exhibit ed by the present administration.

HAULING FREIGHT

Three items of news from separ- ated sources can be Jumped togeth- CT with profit:
 The railroads of the country have increased the average length of freight trains since the first of the year. Such increases have been regu- larly reported for several years. Freight trains are getting constant ly longer and the limit has not yet been reached.
 Fewer locomotives have needed repairs during the first six months this year than has ever been the case in the history of American railroading.
 Bankers meeting in convention talked about the necessity of higher rates for the railroads.
 | It isn't necessary to look far afield to note the remarkable increase in the length of freight trains. Those running through on the branch line give the impression the New Haven i isn't tagging in this respect. On the main line they are even longer. All of which spells economy in opera ton.
 The fact that fewer locomotives need repairs indicates fewer are necessary when the trains are more elongated: and those that are in use are of more powerful character and less likely to get out of repair.
 But the higher rate agitation will not fit well with the shippers. These have been arguing for lower rates. Passengers. too. have been grumbling at the rates.
 In the opinion of many--perhaps not the bankers-higher rates would not really benefit the railroads. There is too much truck competition; also motor coach competition. One reason why motor coaches have been able to eat into rail traffic has been due to the high railroad rates. The inter state bus lines-and there are plenty of them-advertise their rates { in bold type, indicating that is their best talking point. Let the railroad rates be advanced and the buses will | do even more business. Motor trucks likewise are eating into freight bus mess. especially the short haul bus. | mess. And it is surprising the dis. tance covered by ome of the freight trucks.
 Railroads no longer have : monopoly of transportation, eithel passenger or freight. Automo obiles buses and motor trucks have changed the outlook. In the opinior of many unbiased observers. th' railroads cannot afford to rais, their rates. On the other hand. tn, bankers are certain they cannot af ford to continue indefinitely at thu

COMMUNICATED
A Correction in Figures and Cost of
 Government.

n NuNTCCtlOu III r Cl8u8CA 3uu SUoI Ol Government. 11s Linden Street, New Haven, Conn.
 October 20. 1928. The New Britain Herald,
 New Britain, Conn.
 Gentlemen:-
 In view of your extremely courte- ous editorial of October 17th, I feel that should make a correction in the figures given in my speech of October 18th. Due to an error in my information as to .the population of Connecticut in 1927. I overstated the per capita cost of government in Connecticut The actual figures are damaging enough to Governor Trumbull's double claim of New York extravaganza and Connecticut economy to explain why the repub- licans did not seize on my error in- stead of leaving 1t for me to dis cover and correct.
 The figures are as follows:
 New York: Population in 1927 GU. s. census bureau estimate, page 305 of The World Almanac for 192S), 11,423,000; total state ex- penditures for fiscal year ending June 30, 1927 (governor's message to the legislature. January 16, 1928), $1S4,1S3,730.74; per capita expendi- ture. $16.12.

MAILING LIES

The governor of Mississippi, who in a speech declared Herbert Hoover had danced with a Negro woman. Is being credited with having enunct- ated the worst canard of the cam paign. Much as one is disposed to lament such a rediculous lie as the one the Mississippi governor enunciated, we are certain it is. not the worst lie of the campaign. After all, dancing with a Negro woman is not an indictable offense. and 1t must be confessed that it looks more terrible in Louisiana than in some other states. No presidential candi- date does much dancing-if any, during political campaign; and it is certain MT. Hoover has been no exception. The worst lie in the cam paign cannot be credited to the Mississippi governor because there
 
 have been lies uttered in this cam paign which are so low down that they cannot sec public print. Be sides, a lie which merely refers to . candidate dancing with a colored woman is by no means as mean . lie as one saying . candidate has been drunk. One good way to get the best of the lies is to constantly be- lieve nothing of the sort The man who spreads political lie is not only using low brand of intelli- gence while he is so occupied, but he is insulting the intelligence of the public.

25 Nears Ago Today

A special town meeting was held last night in Turner hall to take ac- tion on the town deficit. MT. Gaffney introduced a resolution authorizing the selectmen to borrow money until the taxes are collected. J. B. Weiant thought the resolution was too broad and wanted to know how much money was needed. but it was said to be doubtful if the amount could even be estimated. Of F. Cur tis said the town report showed . shortage of SC, 400 at the end of the fiscal year. MT. Atwood stated that the selectmen could borrow money even without authorization. The resolution was finally passed.
 Felix Haney. who played the sheriff in Girls Will Be Girls" at the Opera House last night, was happy today. Chief Rawlings told him that if the cock fight had lasted d minute longer he would have raid- ed the show. Haney told the chief that that was great and wished he could arrange to have the show raided in Waterbury tonight.
 Charles Hird has purchased the Edward Madcley house on Broad street, Plainville.

AN ASTOUNDING CASE,

Often I had sat in silent misery through the long operas. through monotonous songs and words, but that night from the time he started Cigoluso held me spellbound. His voice was magical. Never before had I heard such melody from the throat of man.
 After the opera sought the great singer. Being led to his room, I immediately began to ques- ton him about the secret Of his great voice.
 "Mr. Gigoluso,' asked him, tell me the secret of your great voice. Is it due to Lucky Dykes!"
 "No!" he replied. T never smoke"
 "Then. sir, I suppose 1t is due to Listeen. which you use as . mouth wash 2"
 'No: I never use a mouth wash. '
 "Then it must be due to Whiff'a Cough Pops?"
 "No: I never use them"
 T know you will pardon me, MT. Gigoluso, but yours Is an astoniah- ing case. I know of no singer today whose voice is not due to one of the three. Will you tell me your secret ?''
 Sure, will tell you. l want you to tell the whole world. I owe my wonderful voice to one thing. owe it to Hooray Corn Relief"
