TELEPHONE SERVICE

With the mad rush Of the public
to get election returns last night,
people were apt to take service for
granted, yet all who contributed to
the dissemination of the alI-import-
ant news did their work quietly and
we'll. In this connection. the work of
the operators at the central switch
board has not been overlooked.
Forced to handle calls at top speed
and many of them from irritable
subscribers, those on the job MAIN
tanned a calm equilibrium answered
queries courteously and pushed
calls through as rapidly as mechani-
cal operation would permit And to
assist the Herald, many times the
operators, when getting call for
925 or 1926, would inquire if it was
election returns that We're wanted
and if SO they gave the latest
bulletins as they themselves had re-
ceived them from this Office, thus
Tightening the already heavy load
here. These unseen but altogether
important units in the great ma
chinery of last night did their work
effectively and well.

THE HERALD'S ELECTION
RETURNS

In the handling of election returns
for New Britain and the surround
ing towns for the benefit of New
Britain readers and as part Of the
great collecting agency the Associat-
ed Press the Herald feels that it may
reasonably congratulate itself with
out undue ostentation upon the
quality of its service. at the same
time congratulating the newspaper
members of the Associated Press of
this state and others upon marvel
GUS coverage.
It probably is not realized by the
readers of a newspaper that if it
were not for the Associated Press, or
other press associations, they would
be lacking in any indication of how
the vote was going for weeks if not
months. They probably imagine that
the newspapers pluck forth statistics
from the air. much as they might
obtain them via radio. This is not So
of course, as all will realize if they
pause TO reflect. As a matter of fact
the newspapers were the source of
bulletins which radio fans received
in their homes. whether the bulletins
were credited to them or not.
The New Britain Herald function

its district as rapidly and accurate

same system obtained in every state

possible the national returns. or such

NEW BRITAIN'S VOTE

New Britain went Republican,
thus not realizing the hope of the
Democrats OF this city that it would
duplicate its record during the days
OF Grover Cleveland; but the Re-
publican organization squeezed
through in this city by the small
margin Of $50 votes-enough for
victory but certainly not enough to
boast about. The Coolidge majority
in this city was 5.S74; the Harding
majority was 1929. Nothing more
clearly indicates the strength that
was Smiths in this city than the
whiting down OF the normal Re-
publican majority TO few hundreds
of votes.
Had the sixth ward performed as
the Smith forces expected it would
the city undoubtedly would have
given small majority for the Demo-
cratic candidate. But something
happened in the sixth ward" it is
being said, and that something de-
fies explanation. 1t simply did not
yield the anticipated lead for Smith.
yielding 10 the fifth the task of pro-
viding the outstanding Smith ward
majority hereabouts.
The vote for Governor Trumbull
in this city was whitfield down ap-
proximately to the extent of the
presidential vote; and all the way
down the line on the state ticket the
figures were approximately the same
This would indicate there was COM
paratively little scratching of
tickets, which was contrary to the
prevailing impression before the
election. Once again we must con-
clude upon the evidence that the
voting machines discourage a pick
ing and choosing among the party
candidates. but stimulate straight
voting. We are not convinced that
this is a good development.

THIS WOMAN A REAL DlE-HARD

Listed among the so-calIed po-
litical die hards is some unidentified
New Britain woman today who. even
in the face of positive returns, de-
cines to concede Smiths defeat.
Early this morning she called the
Herald Office and inquired for an
editor Her first query was puzzler:
"Was this election all right"
TT all depends on whether you are
Republican or a democrat" was
the reply glen her. but sne was not
satisfied and proceeded to complain
that it did not seem possible that
Smith could be beaten by so many
votes and added that she thought
there ought to be a recount" for
there must be some mistake" She
was advised that there would have
10 be millions of mistakes, if the
recorded vote was to be upset. But
she hung up, still obviously incon-
WINGED that Governor Smith had
really lost the election.

The Herald. then. was q unit in
this vast chain. AS such it took care
of New Britain and, in return. had
the exclusive privilege. should it
wish to claim it of bulletining the
service in the city. The Herald had
the only Associated Press telegraph
wire in the city upon which it receiv-
ed returns from elsewhere. AS a
matter of fact 1t had three, wires in
operation from the Associated Press
and one from the United Press. 1t is
safe to assert that the Herald was
first in New Britain to receive news or
any kind and those who watched the
Herald bulletin were the first to get
the news. as the Herald was nearest
to its source. Radio stations every
where had to await the news being
relayed to them. other bulletin serv-
ices depended upon a telephone or
telegraph relay.
The Herald is not necessarily
proud of its achievement as a col
lector and dissemination or news. it
feels that it has merely done its duty
as a thousand or more members OF
the Associated Press all over the
country did, but it has satisfaction in
doing that duty well and it believes
that its bulletin service was thor
oughly satisfactory to the throng Of
it's readers who stood in front of the
Office to watch the screen tell the
election story. This newspaper
realizes that its clientele is DESTROYS
of the best and only the best. that
the people have come to expect the
best. because they have
learned that it may be obtained here
and no expense was spared to furnish
them with what they wished and
have learned to expect.
In the collection of city returns we
have one apology to make, that be-
long to H. P. Kopplemann. running
for Congress on the Democratic
ticket In our election extra we de-
prived him of 500 votes which should
have been his. The coo votes were
lost in the addition of returns from
the second ward and he was shy that
much in the total. The mistake was
discovered and rectified too late for
the extra.

BOTH GROWING OLD-TO.
GETHER:

BOTH GROWING OLD-TO.
GETHER!
By Mrs. Harry Tubbs
You do not love me dear. SO much
AS you did years ago.
When you used to praise my rosy
cheek
And forehead white as snow.
You do not rush to kiss that cheek
With all your old-time fire
Perhaps. indeed, 1t is not now
The cheek that you admire.
You do not fold me in your arms
AS often as of yore;
Your hand once dallied with my
1t dallies there no more.
And If did not know my hair
Was far past girlhood's day,
l well could read 1t in your glance
That tells me l am gray.
Let deem not, love, that do scott
By your neglect appalled,
For IL loved YOU better when
You were not wholly bald;
And were YOU az demonstrative
AS when you first did WOO.
l should despise such idiocy
In an aged man like you!
