WHERE OPTIMISM RULES

Someone has computed that if every adult citizen in the United States voted at the coming election there would be a total of os,o0o,o 900 votes cast.
 -Four years ago :s,ooo,ooo votes were cast.
 The 'get out the vote" organiza- tions this year are optimistic enough to think that with Hoover and Smith in the ring 4o,eoo,ooo people will vote.
 In the past the "Eet out the vote camp paign did not attain their entire object. For some reason nearly half the population usually fails to vote.
 By relying upon the pulling power of the candidates to raise the total the "get out the vote organizations practically admit the candidates and the issues they represent have great CT vote getting out power than their own propaganda efforts.

1lLsoN IN THE CABINET.

There always seems to be some kind of boom in the air in connec- ton with John Q. Tilson, the re- doubtable congressman from New Haven. The latest boom has it that he is slated for the cabinet If Hoover M elected.
 That would be a distinct blow to ]. Henry Roraback, although 1t Is clear as the suns rays that J. Henry is going to have no influence what eevr in whom Hoover picks for his cabinet, if and when Hoover is elected. J. Henrys actions before the convention pretty generally settled his influence in the Hoover camp. Hoover and Tilson are more than casual friends. It is we'll known that Hoover would have liked to have Tilson as hts running mate. It is not hard to believe that he will think of him if elected aA timber for the cabinet.

FIGHTS AND THE RADIO

Tcx Rickard is sore at the radio. The promoter claims that thousands of people stayed away from the Tunney- Heeney fight because they could get the thrill of the encounter by staying at home. He said pretty much the same thing before the re- cent battle, but now he seems to be convinced enough about it to an- nounce no more of hie ring battles will be broadcast.
 That may be one of the reasons for the poor attendance at the ring side. but it is not the only one. The others have to do with the popular ity of the fighters, confidence by the public that they are not being hand ed a second rate exhibition at first rate prices, and less big business methods in connection with the scrap.
 The impression has become gen eral that these prize fights have verged too much in the direction oi purely business affairs. They alwayI have been this to a certain extent but during recent decades the em phasis has been rather strong upoI the finances involved. In the oldel days this little matter was scarcel! mentioned. and the fighters, espe cially the champion. did not expec to obtain 9 kings ransom for al appearance.

WHAT ABOUT PROHIBITION

A Chicago correspondent signing himself c. C. Hanch has favored us with letter regarding the attitude of the two political parties toward prohibition.
 The party platforms are curious examples of beating about the bush. The Democratic platform pledges m honest effort to enforce the 18th amendment and makes no direct reference to the Nolstead act. The Republican platform pledges a vigorous enforcement of the amend ment and falls to mention the Vol. stead act. Where, then. is the dif' ference"
 The difference mainly lies in thu attitude of the candidates Hoover is for everything that is dry whils smiths telegram to the convention and his appointment of Kaskob al his national chairman shows clearly that he regards the prohibition status quo as intolersble.

FULLER AND "I" CONTROL


 Governor Fuller of Massachusetts apparently has lost his one-man fight for continuance of public con- trol of the Boston Elevated along the lines heretofore followed. A hostile legislature has refused to budse from its belief that more than mere public control-in which the wishes of the public were not pa aramount-is necessary to solve the transportation riddle in Boston.
 Public control in metropolitan Boston has been a deceiving name. It was great thing for the elevated owners. The first thing that hap pened after this public control started was to raise the fares to ten cents. That kind Of public con- trol" was exactly to the liking Of the company.
 Governor Fuller wanted this kind of control to continue for another period Of years. but there was nc guarantee of providing needed ex- , tensions of the system under the plan. The attitude of the legislator was adequately supported by most of the newspapers and there can bt little doubt as to how the ten-cen' cash customers leaned. The gov erNsr's valiant hGht on behalf of thu stockholders lost because 1t deserv ed that fate.
