the structure to its completion.
The task still remains of harmonic

organizing a government that will be
capable of solving the problems that

Trained In the army Of Japan, he IS

the Reno Evening Gazette, and his
dealings with the Cantonese govern

ability enables him to establish stable

that could happen for China and the

because he happens to be the one man

Chiang's selection appears to the New
York Evening Post to be "a token of
moderation and conciliation in the
councils of the Kuomintang which
would indicate that the Nationalist
are really prepared to face the immense
task of reconstructing a country which
for II years has been internationally
ravaged by civil war" The Post adds
With every day the Nationalist regime
shows greater promise of stability. Re-
gardlesS of such untoward develop

Chinese in the province of Kansu, its

New York's Voting Problem.

The extraordinarily heavy registration
just recorded in Greater New York, with
a thirty-four per cent increase over
| 1924, has brought about situation thai
may have its serious consequences. AS
was noted the other day, the State
| Board of Elections has concluded that
there are not enough voting machines
| to permit the recording of the pro-
spectively heavy ballot within the hours
| named in the law. So the board has de-
| clded to concentrate the machines in
the boroughs of Manhattan and Brook
lyn, and to require the boroughs of the
Bronx, Queens and Richmond to vote
by the paper ballot method But this
runs counter to q law of the State
enacted in 1922 to the effect of reouir-
ing that by 1924 the voters In all cleo
ton districts of Greater New York
should ballot by machine. This raises the
question whether a paper balloting in
three of the five boroughs will be valid
One of the candidates for Office has
distinctly raised this question, and has
sent telegram to Gov. Smith asking
that a special session of the State Legis-
lature be convened to extend the voting
time in Greater New York to midnight.
which will permit the use of the voting
machines throughout the five boroughs,
giving time in all of them for the re-
cording of the record-breaking number
of ballots
If this request is denied. and II three
York are put upon a paper ballot basis
the validity of the vote of the entire
city may be challenged. A Judge of the
State Supreme Court has just rendered
an opinion in support Of the order of
the Board of Elections to concentrate
the machines in two boroughs and, de-
spite the law of 1922, to permit paper
balloting in the other three. This judg-
ment, however, is not final, and might
not serve to validate the elections
should protest be raised against it by
a candidate for Office who could make a
showing of direct interest.
The bearing of this question upon the
presidential electoral vote of New York
arises from a clause in the Federal
Constitution, article 2, section I, which
provides: Each State shall appoint, in
such manner as the Legislature thereof
may direct, number of electors, equal
to the whole number of Senators and
Representatives to which the State may
be entitled in the Congress, ETC.
Thus the Constitution leaves the
manner of the election of the electors
for President to the State Legislatures.
If in this instance the Legislature OF
New York having provided that by
certain date all the votes in Greater
New York should be taken by machine
and through failure of calculation
special arrangement has been made
whereby only two-thirds Of those votes
are taken by machine, the validity OF
those votes not taken by machine may
possibly be challenged on the ground
that the constitutional provision has not
been fulfilled.

Wants No Children" at the Liber- ty tonight.
 This mirth provoking film tells the story of a successful young attorney who decides to marry for the sake of being able to lead quiet domestic life and to have children.
 But his wife wants no children and with the aid of her gay moth CT, who, too. protests that she is too young to be a grandmother, drags the reluctant husband to supper clubs nightly. And while she has chance to rest up dur ing the day hubby has to work and before long he is on the verge of physical breakdown. Then, by using caveman tactics. he brings his wife to reason and to-well-she becomes a mother. This is the barest of outlines of what is without doubt one of the best comedy-dramas of the year and one that brings home to every member of the audience a lesson not soon forgotten.

NICE, France, March 14 = Gambling and the tourist trade have displaced even the future of the franc as major election issues, among Riviera constituencies, in the French parliamentary cam paign that ends April 22.
 The Riviera seeks legalization of roulette, now forbidden in France.
 Only by making the spinning wheel and the clicking ivory ball lawful, say residents, can France lure to the Riviera the wealthy American .and English tourists who now show a preference for Monte Carlo and It's famed casino.
 If the campaign for roulette succeeds, it will mean $5,000, 900 year more in; profits to the Ri viera casinos, by some estimates, and a corresponding decline in Monte Carlo earnings.
 Chemin de fer and baccarat. games of chance permitted in France, are too tame for the wealthy tourists. resort owners declare. They sniff the French air for day or two and then go on to Monte" the border princi- pality where the sun shines aA often, the sea is as blue, and no questions are asked about the morality of roulette.
