"As NEW YORK GOES'-

"As New York goes so goes the election" That has been an axiom Of politics for generations.
 It gained currency because since the Civil war only three candidates have been elected to the presidency without the aid of New York's electoral votes-Grant in 1868, Hayes in 1876 and Wilson in 1916. In each of these elections the win- ming candidates were opposed by New Yorkers-Seymour. Tilden and Hughes.
 Quite a record. no doubt; but not as good a record as that made by Ohio.
 Since the Civil War the candidate for whom Ohio voted won the cleo tion in every case except once. That one exception was in 1892, when Ohio was carried by Harrison while Cleveland was elected to his second term.
 Even in the Wilson Hughes elec- ton in 1916. when California is popularly regarded as turning the scales in favor of Wilson after the east had seemingly elected Hughes, Ohio had made the election of Wil- son possible by going Democratic. If Ohio at that time had gone for Hughes there would have been no need of waiting until the early hours of the morning to learn how Cali fornia voted. It would have made no difference how California voted.
 The axiom should be changed to "As Ohio goes"

ALL ABOUT THE WAIT
 IN CHINA

Not only is the object of the fight ing in China similar to the object ot last fall but the plan of campaign is somewhat similar. The object. Of course, Is for the Nationalists to take Picking, there ending the domination of the north by Chang Tso-lin.
 Last fall when a series Of defeats and bad weather ended the cam- paign temporarily. the object of Feng was to advance from the south west capture Tenchow on the Chihli- -Shantung border. advance on Tsinanfu, the capital of Shan;ung. by way o, Fishing to the south: and the capture of the Suchowfu railroad junction to the south of the shan tung -Kiangsu border. The Chinese nationalists arc good on tactics, and though the defeats of last year at Soochow and Pengpu temporarily caused Chiang kai-Shek to go into exile near Shanghai, the unification of the Nationalist governments of Hankow and Ranking last Septem- Der paved the way for his returning to the generalissimo harness again this spring.

TROLLEY BUSINESS

A report on nationwide street rail- way operations shows a distinct fall- ing off compared with last year; which perhaps is the main reason why the street car companies are busying them selves ip efforts to reduce ex- penses. Their main method, however, is to install as many one-man cars as possible. Except in such cities like Hartford, where local laws or agree ments have been an obstacle. they have already gone nearly the limit in this respect. They scarcely can re- duce expenses any further. If the once profitable business of operating street cars has become profitable only three months of the year its ultimate disintegration in the small CT cities. where most of the losing lines are said to be located, can be foretold with a fair certainty of cor rcctness.
 If the street railways continue to lose money the question naturally arises, can they be expected to serve the public at a loss indefinitely. Higher fares are scarcely in prospect and are not desira ble; their main ef- feet would be to further reduce travel, perhaps to the vanishing point. As a matter of fact, fares al- ready are too high between some points, vastly stimulating the use of private cars.
 The trolley industry remains profitable to equipment concerns. and if they have any influence at all in the industry they will endeavor to keep it on it's feet as long as pos sible The equipment concerns are particularly averse to having motor coaches take the place of the electric equipment, but do not seem 10 have been very successful in pre- venting the conversion Of rural troll Icy lines into bus lines.

has been stumpiny the state in an endeavor to tell the people he is a bonafide aspirant to the presidency. and that he does not want the dele- gates to turn them over to Dawes or Lowden-or anybody except Hoover.
 What everyone knows, however. is that Watson ia not considered as q presidential candidate anywhere else but in Indiana. and there only among the cohorts of his machine. He has less chance of being nominated for the presidency than John D. Rockefeller, the only differ ence being that Watson fools his compatriots and Rockefeller doesn't.
 Records show that neither politi- cal party has ever nominated . strictly favorite son candidate-that Is, one who entered the convention with no support outside the delega- ton Of his own state.
 A favorite son candidate. one with no support elsewhere, is about the cheapest and most intellectual politi- cal cog in the national political machinery.

COMMUNICATED
REBUKES CLERGYMEN
F. A. s. Comments on Their Stand
 on Sunday Movies.

Editor New Britain Herald:
 take the liberty of voicing my indignation against the nonsensical farce and opposition of some of our ministers against Sunday afternoon movies in this city. It is evident on the part of our ministers, that 1t ts their personal egoism and not the interest of the citizens that prompts them in opposing Sunday movies which question as a matter of fact concerns us common mortals and should be decided by us and not by the ministers whom, as far as I know. the citizens have not given the ministers permissions to speak In their behalf. We manage success- fully to solve the most intricate earthly problems of our daily life and am sure that we are we'll cap- able to settle this Sunday movie question ourselves without the inter- vention of our divinely inspired cler- gy-or, do amusements fall under their religious Jurisdiction? per- sonally will have moro respect for our ministers. If they step down from their high pedestals, become human. study our interests and con- fine their activities to discussion of the original decalogue and the Four Gospels. in which matters they arc experts. Would it be % terribly wicked to have Sunday movies? If 1t should be immoral. then moral- ity is only a matter of plain geogra- phy. for other surrounding cities in addition to movies have vaudeville concerts on Sunday afternoons. Are ministers and citizens in those cities less religious? Are they guided by . different code of morals? The citi- zens of our city should be given an opportunity to exercise their right of personal liberty and be able to at- tend a movie on Sunday afternoon, if they so desire. Our theater own CTS and managers have always striy. ed to give Us the best and we'll se- lected productions and have succeed ed in their efforts: the owners in- vested comparatively large sums of money in their enterprises and are
