Washington, August 10.-Politica al
guages are attempting to determine
the effect the new voting population
will have on elections next November.
The Census Bureau figures show that
100000 men and women become of
age this year. One method which has
been employed by both major political
parties to get out the votes has been
to organize clubs for the youngsters
and then endeavor to sell them party
policies. Rounding up the votes has
been the secret of success for Tam
many. The young Republicans and
Democrats of today have created a
real problem. Experience shows that
the newcomers are cynical and not so
easily handled as the older folks. and
at the slightest provocation may dis

Notification ceremonies for the Re-
publican nominee for the Presidency
will be ushered in by a large garden
party on the White House lawn.
White flannels, flowered tea gowns,
the scarlet full-dress uniforms of the
Marine band and the pleasant chatter
of the very best people of the Repub-
lican party will be the setting for Mr..
Hoover's second acceptance speech. 1t
is understood that the speech will not
be long one, possibly not over an
hour in duration. Present indications
are that the President will not by any
means confine himself to a mere
calculation of his party's platform, as
Governor Roosevelt did in his first
campaign speech. The Chief EXecu-
tive seems to be in a fighting mood
these days and is expected to tackle
some of the RCoseveltian views on
economic affairs. Cancellation of war
debts is scheduled for discussion in
the acceptance address and, of course,
the scorching question of prohibition.
Among the hard-workers in the pO-
litical vineyards of both parties are
to be found a number of 'lame-ducks''
otherwise gentlemen whom the con-
stituency of their respective states
did not see fit to return to Washing

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
HAS ESSENTIAL ROLE

1t was no mere chance that the
Minnesota Historical society, organ
lied in 1S49, was the first permanent
institution that Minnesota established.
From pioneer days to the present
Minnesotans have recognized the i'm
portance of preserving their historic al
records and have evinced keen in
terest in their backgrounds.
Only two years after the close of
the Civil war the society was reported
to be ''in more flourishing condition
| than it has been in years" and the
prediction was ventured that ut bids
fair to become one of the most valu-
able and popular institutions in Min
nesOta." These remarks were fea-
lures of an extended account of a
monthly meeting of the society in the
''St. Paul Pioneer" for March ~, 1867.
Today, sixty-five years later, in the
midst of worldwide depression, the
society is vigorously carrying on its
two-fold duty of preserving the rec
| ords of MinnesOtas past and making
the facts of these records known. ut
| remains today active, youthful and in
creasing in vitality" declares a re-
cent editorial in the Fergus Falls
| Tribune" Last month the society
conducted it's eleventh annual summer
tour and convention, which the est
Paul Dispatch" editorially character
lied as rapidly becoming an accepted
feature of the cultural life of the
state" The society's statewide men,
bership of 1900 persons is evidence of
the interest that the people of Mime
sofa have in it's work.

BUDGET WHICH LOWERS TAXES

Board of Finance Gave It the 0. K. Yesterday It Now Goes to Board of Aldermen for Action

Waterbury's proposed 1893 bud get, calling for a reduction in the tax rate of one and one-half mills, was approved yesterday afternoon by the board of finance, thereby clearing the way for its presenta- ton to the aldermen at their regu- lar meeting next Monday night. The budget, as prepared by Exec utive Secretary Thomas P. Kelly and Auditor John J. Murphy. was approved intact by the finance com missioncrs. It Is unlikely that any changes will be made in the 1893 financial slate by the aldermen.
 While the budget will go to the aldermen Monday night 1t Is not expected that they will pass q vote of adoption at that time. It is us- .ually the custom to refer the bud- get 10 a committee and then report back in week or so after ali the or t1le boa U have had aS, opportunity to consider the figures,
