Race Tracks Give
Argentine Politics
Novel Vote JargOn
BY the Associated Press.

Il
BUENOS AIRES, November z.
The jargon of United States
political campaigns-talk of tick
cts, dark horses, stumping and
vets and drys-is meaningless TO
Argentina in anything like literal
translation of the phrases.
But Argentineans. now ending
campaign preparatory to the
general election tomorrow, have
traditional political expression
which would be lost on the
United States-"the police COM
missioner's horse"
The expression originated on
the race tracks. which no stable
Argentine town is without. The
governing official of every track,
for many years, was the village
police chief, and it became a
common adage that the police
commissioner horse always was
the best bet because the commits
sioner supervised the race.
The phrase has been transfer
red to politics. Whenever a dis
gruntled voter seeks to intimate
that some candidate is sure to
win by fair means or foul, be-
cause he has the support of the
party in power. the nominee is
described as 1.-The police COM
missioner'S horse"

Chairman Payne Says.

"The year Of the great drought"
as these past twelve or more months

wrought great damage to millions.
Not alone did the crops, which were
burned in the fields in twenty.three
states, in the summer of 1880, deprive
several million persons of food, but
the drought disaster continued in the
summer of 1881 in the northwestern
states, and also brought other minor
catastrophes in its wake, such as for
est fires, and the grasshopper plague.
More than a year has elapsed since
the American Red Cross launched, in
August, 1880, its first moves for relief
