TOWN ELECTIONS SCHEDULED TODAY
Heaviest Vote in Years May
 Be Registered

New Haven, Oct. 1 R-As beau- tiful a day as any elector would wish gave promise of the largest a.- tendances and heaviest votes in a great many years for little town elections" in 1s3 towns of Connec- ticut today. as we'll as in Middle town which has city election.
 Important This Year
 Politically. town elections have only incidental bearing upon the na- tional and state elections next month but to the republican and democratic state chairmen alike there is more than ordinary inter est in conditions which will be de- veloped in the town meetings.
 In the first place national com mitteeman T. J. Spellacy of the democrats has been appealing to his state organization under State Chairman J. J. Walsh. to canvass intensively in city and town to se- cure as many registrations and ito be made voters" as possible on the broad ground that through organ!- zation and house to house work the full democratic registration and democratic vote could be obtained. and if obtained. Mir. Spellacy claim ed the democrats could carry Con- necticut for Gov. Smith. On the re- publican side National Committee man J. Henry Roraback has been organizing his town committees and urging the state committee mem- bers to do just the same kind of work that the democrats have been doing.
 Both Parties Enthused
 What both chairmen have ac- complished in the way of organiza ton is expected to he shown to greater or less extent by the tr. il out of town electors in town meet ing today. State Chairman Rora

back already has predicted that TO- publican registration in anticipation of the national election has been the greatest on record. The democrats have been quite enthusiastic over results they have secured.
 In the towns there are few mat ters of business or politics which have general tate interest. Most Of them will receive reports and make the appropriations for the current year. Officers will be chos- en and usually there is some let down of partisans If the out and-ou party vote is to be made a matter of comparison usually the vote for registrar is taken because each major party elects one and party members as rule vote straight" on this office.
