NO VACANT TREATMENTS
Kensinxton Tcam Plans Slake-Ip Before Sundays Game--Fire Dis- trict Meeting This Evening at Ic- gion Hall.

There is a great shortage Of tcnc- ments in kensington and the rent situation has become very acute. A canvass of the town shows it to be practically free of single vacant tenement. This is due mainly to the fact that there has been no real building operations completed in kensington for the last few years. Kensington is growing daily ill population as there are large num- Der of young people from the ages of IT on living in town. Clergy of the parishes in Kensington report that their churches arc being hard hit by the lack of suitable living places. They report that during the past two years two out of three Ecouples who have been married have been forced to move to New Britain 1 to get permanent residence because of their inability to locate homes III kensington. This statement was easily borne out in the past few weeks. About seven couples were married in town and all announced that they will make their homes in New Britain.
 One contractor stated in the early part of last winter that he was plan- ming to start extensive building op- erations in kensington in the early spring but he has not. as yet. start ed any construction work.
 Hope for Large Attendance It IS hoped that there will be q large attendance at the meeting of the Kensington Fire district this eye ming at the Legion hall at s o'clock, The meeting of the Worthington fire district was very poorly attended by voters in the district and it is hoped that this will not be the case this evening. Many important issues will come up this evening such as the laying of the tax for next year and the election of officers.

Hoover Margin Seen
Political observers considered neu-
tral insofar as weighing Of reports
is concerned generally predicted that
Hoover would carry Minnesota by
from $4,000 to 100000 plurality,
with lesser margin If the vote does
not measure up to the expected to-
tai.
These same observers qualified
their predictions with regard to the
senatorial race, with most Of them
apparently looking for the reelection
OF Senator Skipstead by y narrow
margin, although refusing to count
Nelson out until the ballots are
tabulated.
Governor Theodore Christianson,
heading the Republican state ticket,
appeared assured Of reelection with
the rest Of the Republican candidates
for the minor offices. A number Of
congressional contests appeared very
much in doubt.
In all Of Minnesota's 3,762 pre-
cincts the vo., is expected to set q
new record. In the 1924 presiden-
tial election, Coolidge got 420,759
votes; Davis the Democratic nomi-
nee, got 5,"13, and La Toilette, In
dependent, received 339,1O2. Other
candidates got 6,2S2 votes.

Democrats Sowed 100000 for
Broadcasting; Republicans
Spent More

New York, Nov. 6(AP)-During
the last 2 months radio bureaus Of
the national committees have sown
upon the air political seed that cost
more than 81 ,25O, 900, and today the
candidates will learn who can har-
vest the crop as votes.
The Democratic national commit
tee announces. that it has spent
$60O,00O for political radio broad
casting, and the Republican national
committee, although saying that no
figures are available. reports the
spending of "as much as the Demo.
Gratis" The radio bill of the minor
parties is but few thousand dol
lars.
The grand total of something over
a million and q quarter would have
been increased to we'll over $4,000, 900
had the parties been made to pay
Tor the broadcasting of the presi-
Dental acceptance speeches and the
convention sessions, broadcasting
that was done by the radio chains
on their own account. As it was,
however, the two major parties
spent for radio broadcasting Just
about one-seventh Of their entire
campaign funds.
Both narties used both of the two
big radio chains, the National
Broadcasting company and the Co.
lumbia system. The II stations of
the Columbia chain were used for
a total of 33 hours during the cam
paign, at cost of about $165, 900.
The National Broadcasting company.
IN hookups ranging from half a
dozen to 80 stations, was used to
such an extent that its bill to the
two big parties was somewhere in
the neighborheod of $6OO,OOO..
This is the first national campa;vn
IN which regular chain broadcastinp
has been utilized. neither of the
present great chains having been in

CAPITOL THEATRE

The old South that was, with its
courtly gallants and charming
bellies, is literally transported to
the screen in "Uncle Toms Cabin"
the stupendous Universal MASTER
piece production that opened for a
run yesterday At the Capitol The
ire.
One could almost inhale the
sweet scene Of magnolias and hear
the soft voices Of the darkies at
the close of = long, cotton-pick-
ing day. The one word to describe
this mastery picture is "epic."
Certainly no other photoplay since
the beginning Of the industry has
achieved the response, both as to
emotions and risibilities as has this
one.
The great direction Of Harry
Pollard Is reflected in every foot
Of the picture. Not only are the
players perfectly cast but the
grouping, composition and lighting
are astonishingly effective. The
river scenes are marvels Of beauty.
The pround La Belle Riviere" puff
ing around a bend of the Mlssis-
sippi brings a thrill to all be-
holders.
Of drama there is plentitude.
The roles of Margarita Fischer as
Eliza, George Siegmann as Simon
Legree, James Lowe as Uncle
Tom, Virginia Grey as Little Eva,
Arthur Edmund Carew as George
Harris, and the other experienced
players are portrayed with an
amazing realism and fidelity to the
characters Of the novel.
The comedy touches which are
painted in with deft strokes of a
masterly brush are capably hand
led by Mona Ray as Topsy, Lu-
Glen Littlefield as Lawyer Marks
and Aileen Manning as Aunt
Ophelia.
The big scenes are splendidly
done. The death Of Little Eva,
Eliza crossing the ice, the classi-
cal handling of the auction and
river scenes, the marvellous repro
ductions of Southern life as ex-
emplified in the Shelby, st. Claire
and Legree plantations, all are be-
yond reproach.
To no player falls the respon-
sibility for the success Of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" 1t is obvious that
this production in the making was
not handled merely as the manu-
featuring of motion picture. The
earnestness, sincerity and single
ness Of purpose of the cast dem
onstrate that their task was a
labor of love, indeed.
