t. Smith, democratic candidate TOR
president, to carry not only the city
OF Bristol. but also the state of Con-
necticut, WAS expressed by In Mayor
Joseph +. button, chairman OF the
democratic town committee. at
Mr.. button believed this not only
possible but probable. in spite of the
fact that four years ago President
Coolidge carried the city by d 1900
majority and the state by over no.
U0o.

nelly, the chairman of the commit
tee was authorized to employ paid
canvassers to visit every home in
the city with the view of securing
new voters. These canvassers will
be assigned certain districts and
will report each evening by CHAIR
man Dutton. All applications will
then be turned over to the regis
trars Of voters in the various dis
tricts to see that such voters are
made and their lanes included on
the proper lists.
Mr.. button. in explaining the ad-
Visibility of paid canvasscrs pointed
out that there were 376 streets in
the city covering an area Of between
-6 and :, square miles. He believed
that by earnest effort the entire city
could be covered within five weeks.
All of the canvassers will be cleo
tors OF the city SO that they will
have the power to sign applications
received by them. All applications
must be filed before p. M. Oc-
tober 9Th.

ers. the individual members of the
town committee will assist i'm the Sc
