That young lieutenant in 1830-his

Elections in States Expected to Have
Important Bearing on Prohibition

have done something for the wet cause
without voting Democratic.
In this completely of the Illinois set
up the Interpretation of the outcome
will be less clear than in other States.
If Mrs. Mccormick is successful, not
much will have happened as respects
prohibition. But If the outcome is the
other way something decisive will have
occurred. Election of Democratic wet
j. Ham Lewis would mean the addition
Of one to the vets strength in the SEN
ate. Nationally, it would mean more:
would mean the addition of Illinois to
New York and New Jersey as States
that have gone wet.
Interpretation of the senatorial cleo.
ton in Illinois in its bearing on pro-
hibition will be accompanied by and
qualified by the outcome Of the refer
endum on prohibition to be held on the
same election day.
Other State Contests Less Clear.
There are other States in which the
senatorial election is to one degree or
another wet versus dry. In no other
State, however, is the senatorial cleo
ton so important and the prohibition
issue so clear as in the four mentioned
above.
In one other State is an election (not
senatorial one, however) of which the
outcome, if it should go the Democratic
and wet way, will be regarded as a ma
tional sensation. In the newspaper
headlines announcing the results on
November 5 it is possible the word
Pennsylvania" may command the
largest type. In Pennsylvania Clifford
Pinchot is running for Governor. He Is
running on the Republican ticket
though the two principal official Repub-
licans in the State has proclaimed he
Is not Republican, and scores Of
thousands Of Republican voters feel the
same way about him. Pinchot Is run
ming also as a dry, and about his dry
ness there is no question whatever.
Because of the skepticism about Pin
chot's Republicanism scores of thou
sands of hundred per cent Republicans
will vote against him. Because Of PIN
chot's drynesS. other tens of thousands
of wet Republicans will vote against
him. Because of both defectionS, there
Is chance that Pinchot's Democratic
wet opponent, John NJ. Hepphill, may
win. And II a Democrat is elected Cow
ernor of Pennsylvania it will be nas
tional sensation. It has not happenea
before for 40 years, not since 1890. y
1t happens now, many politicians viii
recall that when 1t happened before
was a portent of the country electing
Democratic President two years later
They will recall that and they will
whether with Justification or not, fores
cast Democratic President in 1882.
Among other things, defeat Of Pin
chot will be hailed (if it happens) as
one of the greatest of wet victories. II
will be said that Pennsylvania, second
in population among the States, has
joined New York and New Jersey In
rejecting the prohibition amendment
and all things dry. That conclusion, Il
moral effect, as respects prohibition, OF
Pennsylvania going wet would be very
great.

And time after time, as eclipSes occur,
the Navy has sent its experts with
powerful telescopes and sensitive cam
eras to the points most advantageous
for observation. Some years ago when
the planet Venus made one of its rare
trips in front of the sun the Navy dis
patched an observing party to South
Africa, the expenditure for the project
and its necessary preparations totaling
100000. And again the laymen asks
why?
Well, the answer goes back to that
young lieutenant of a century ago who
set up his diminutive astronomical in
strument in the Capital. He started
the Navy in the astronomical business
though he probably never gave a
thought to himself as founder or
pioneer. 1t was all in the days work
He had been assigned the duty of test
ing and rating the ships chronometers

wet Democrat opposing a dry Repub-
lican.)
A third State important to watch for
the bearing of the outcome on prohi-
bition is Massachusetts,. In that State
the Republican candidate, William NJ
Butler, is dry. The Democratic can
didate, Marcus A. Coolidge, is wet. The
issue is clear, though not quite so sim
pie as the other contests already men
toned. While other issues and modi-
flying circumstances color the MaSsa
chusetts fight, probably q larger num-
Der of voters in that State will go to
the polls with prohibition in mind than
with any other issue or condition.
II the Democrats should elect their
wet senatorial candidate, Marcus A..
Coolidge, that would be an addition Of
one to the strength of the vets in the
Senate. AS respects issues other than
prohibition, it would be remarkable,
would be a historic landmark. MasSa-
chuSettS has had only one Democratic
Senator since the 1850's, since the word
Democratic" began to mean what 1t
now does. That lone Democrat from
the Bay State is one of the present
Senators, David /. Walsh. If the Demo-
Gratis should now elect Marcus A Cool
idge, the ensuing spectacle, two Demo-
Gratis from Massachusetts, in the Senate,
would be arresting and very significant.
It would reflect the waning OF the old
time Republicanism that has really, in
effect. dominated Massachusetts, since
the Civil War; would reflect In part the
increasing power OF newer elements In
the population who, among other new
points of view, do not like prohibition.
Lewis Victory Would Be Decisive.
The other senatorial contest worth
watching from the point Of view OF pro-
hibition is the one in Illinois. There
the Democratic candidate, j. Hamilton
Lewis, is wet. The Republican candi-
date. MRS. Ruth Mccormick, is a dry
who has modified her dryneSs to the
point OF saying that if Illinois by refer
endum should go wet she would obey
that mandate. With that qualification.
the Illinois fight is squarely wet versus
dry. If the Democrats should elect the
wet Lewis, he would be an addition of
one to the vets strength In the Senate.
He would at the same time represent q
loss of one to the drys, for the present
is now to be filled, is dry.
Mrs. Mccormick, in running as dry,
or to the degree to which she is dry,
has handicap. There Is q third candi-
date Clikewise woman, Mrs. Lottie
O'Neill, who is hundred per cent dry,
who, indeed, entered the race upon the
ground, partly. that Mrs Mccormick in
promising to abide by the referendum
had ceased to be sufficiently dry to sat
isfy the thoroughgoing drys. This third
candidate, Mrs. O'Neill, will not win.
She will, however, absorb consider
able number of "bone-dry' votes
which otherwise would go to MRS. Nc
erendum will provide SUFFICIENT justi-
ncation for many wet Republicans to
remain Republican and 90 feel they

now listed as vigorous defender Of the
poor mans cause.
Though prohibition is scarcely an Is
sue In this campaign, since all three of
the candidates are wet, Mrs. Pratt's
supporters have not neglected to make
capital out Of the fact that she came
out for repeal OF the eighteenth amend
ment two years ago. Stress Is also laid
on the honor which Congress conferred
on her when she was named as a men,
Der of the Committee on Banking and
Currency, one Of the 10 major commit
tees of the House. That appointment
came by way of shock to many of the
old-line politicians. 1t was inconceiv-
able to them that woman could
know enough about finance to warrant
placing her on the committee which is
called upon to deal with the most intri-
cate problems of banking. They were
unaware that Mrs. Pratt is an excep-
tionally keen student Of finance and has
repeatedly given evidence Of her mas
terry of the subject.
An incident of the campaign which
has been especially gratifying to Mrs.
Pratt came about few weeks ago
Among the days callers at her head
quarters in the Hotel Roosevelt was
James Mcintyre, a veteran Of the World
War, who had spent the greater part
Of his IL months service in France in
the front-line trenches. Mcintyre
wanted to know If there wasn't some
thing he could do to help Mrs Pratt.
Declared Friend Of Veterans.
"She helped me when needed it, and
I'd like to do my bit now" he said.
Some time ago / went to her and ex-
planned / had been trying for months
to get the compensation due me from
the Government. Mrs. Pratt took 1t up
at once with the officials. In short or
der obtained a check for $358.40, rep
resenting back compensation, and my
name was placed on the roll for $44.00
month, which / am receiving. But
there's a still more important reason
why should like to see her return TO
Congress. It's because her record shows
her to be one Of the best friends the
veterans have"
Thsreupon Mcintyre sat down and
arote q letter for distribution among
mis- comrades. telling Of his own expert
ence and ling attention to the TACT
that the first bill which Mrs. Pratt in
troduced after becoming a member OF
Congress was a measure which provided
more literally for veterans and their
dependents than any other which had
been presented. The best features OF
this bill were incorporated in the one
finally passed by the House. And Nc
1ntyre, with no irons In the FIRE other
than his personal interest, Is one o.
the strongest rootefS Ruth Pratt has.

by the naval vessels returning from
cruises. This rating task is delicate
0ne which requires an accurate standard
of time Exact time can be determined
only by watching the transit of stars
across the meridian. And so, needing
time, the industrious lieutenant
mounted his telescope and began his
nightly observations.
His instrument was small-not much
larger than a spyglass-but out of that
30-inch long telescope has grown the
Naval Observatory Of today, with its
million-dollar equipment, on a great
circular, park like reservation in North
west Washington, with its corps of emf
nent astronomers and mathematicians,
and with its observing expeditions to
the far places Of the earth.
Thus the need for exact time drew
the Navy into astronomy-and it is the
need for exact time that sends 1t on
