TOWN IS CALLED
VOTE BAROMET TER
SangerfieId. N. Y. BaIIoting
Since 1880 Seen as Gauge
of National Poll.

r-rttten exclusively for The Star sns Nnrth
American Newspaper Alliance,
SYRACUSE, n. y, September 1.-The
little township Of Saneerheld. 50 miles
east Of Syracuse. takes biz jump
from comparative obseurity to national
importance whenever big presidential
year rolls around.
That is because this farm community
for so years has served as q voting
barometer for the Nation,
"AS Sangerfield goes. so goes the Ma
ton" they say there.
And when the records are examined,
the truth of the statement is proved.
Since 1880 the town has given ma
,t0rlty TO the winning candidate every
time Sometimes he was a Republican,
sometimes he was a Democrat.
Although Sangsriield Is normally Re-
publican, the majority has swung into
the Democratic ranks whenever the
rarty with the donkey emblem has been
the winner Strange 70 relate, the ma
joritieS have usually been in exact pro-
portion with the national malori!les.
Back in those years when maiimen
on horseback logged through the wilder
ness, the town started voting for the
presidential winners. Garfield was elect
u.
Of SanceYf7el6. Four years later CleVe-
land. 2 Democrat, won: and he Won in
Sangerfield. too.
In 1888. when The farmers trooped
out To vote they turned down Mr.
Cleveland They gave BENJAMIN Harri-
sen. Republican. a majority. Just to
prove they could change their minds
They changed them again four years
later and put Grover Cleveland back
into Office.
Along in 1895 Republicans were the
fashion, -Four times in as MANY pres
i6ential elections cid S2.ceT6eid give
G majority 10 four EepNo.i~8D PreSl-
dents. That vas exactly what was done
nationally
When the electoral majority IVES
small the Local majority cor~aSponded,
This was true even in 1912. when Will
son defested TAFT and Roosevelt, San
gerfielo gave Tart and Roosevelt more
votes combined than Wilson. but Wilson
vas elected. That is what the Nation
old.
When 1916 came along. Saneerfield
was almost evenly divided on Hughes
and Wilson Ii vas thought Hughes
had won. until California turned vot-
ing fip-fop and gave Wilson the pres
t0ency. Il was ha!T-ltne decision.
SangsrlielL ran true ID form. The
town gave Wilson majority Of oae
vote Harding and Coonc2e got tha
big ma jorlfics they resolved nationally
And noT Hoover and Smith! What
Will they cio at Sangarefald this time?
When elo~tion night comes around
and they check Ut the vote Sanger
field will be in a fever Of interest All
are hoping the barometer will not be
out Of order. If it isn't. they'll know
the next President when they get San
gerfield's votes counted.

MOVE AGAINST
GERMAN NAVY
DEFEATED

| BERLIN. Nov. 1.-THE move
ment started by the German Com
munists for a national referendum
| to, abolish the German navy has
failed
It failed because there are only
about 100000 convinced pacifists
and revolutionaries in Germany
courageous enough openly to put
down their names on the lists de-
i manding such referendum. A
total Of 100000 signatures is
necessary to initiate q national
referendum.
The failure of the Communists
| is even greater than had been ex.
pected. They never expected to
win in tn. referendum itself, and
saw In it merely good chance
for effective propaganda, but they
did hope to find enough sigma
lures to make such referendum
necessary.
Hopes Destroyed
Even this hope has been de.
stroyed, for they could persuade
only a little more than half Of
their $3.50, 900 voters to inscribe
the referendum lists.
Despite this, however, 1t seems
likely that the armorea cruiser
a." whose construction precipi.
tated the whole movement, vii.
never be completed. Even 2.0OO.00
votes cannot be simply disregarded.
Moreover, sentiment against the
new cruiser extends far beyond
these 100000 votes.
For 1t took courage, even in
Germany, to avow oneself openly
and in writing 4 Communist or
pacifist. and thereby brave q pos
sible social and economic boycott
of the powers that be. In smaller
villages, such an ayowal amounts
to economic suicide.
Millions more, it is held therefore,
would have voted against the
cruiser il they could have done so
in a. secret election.
May Refuse Funds.
IT Is freely predicted that the
next isstallment for the cruiser, due
with the budget Of the next veal.
will be voted down in the German
Reichstag, even il the first Install
meut or little more than $1,000 900
has already been spent,
Chancellor Mueller. the Socialists.
the Democrats, and even part Of
the Catholic Center, are all against
the cruiser on the ground that for
the Germany Of today it is an
expensive luxury"
The Communist fiasco was FUR.
thered by internal lissensions within
the party leadership and by the
farcical aspects OF their campaign.
Ernst Thaelmann. the dictator of
the German Communist party and
former presidential candidate on the
Communist ticket. was deposed by
his colleagues in the midst of the
campaign and sent to Moscow to
answer charges OF having been in.
volyed in the embezzlement Of party
funds.
The Moscow party tribunal ac.
quilted him and ordered him rein.
