MAJORITY OF 1882 ELECTORAL VOTES REMAIN VERY MUCH
 IN DOUBT.


 Washington-Try to figure out at this time of year which presidential candidate is going to win just which electoral votes is rather silly performance, but what of it?
 There is even some perfectly good evidence that it is a relative ly silly business almost any old time. One recalls that in the last week or so of the 1928 campaign some of the most expert and ex- perienced democratic politicians were talking very seriously about (not merely suggesting) the pos- the possibility of carrying for Al Smith such republican states as Iowa and Pennsylvania.
 And wasn't it Dr Hubert Work himself, chairman of the republi- can national committee, who pub- licly conceded the loss of Texas and other southern states which Hoover subsequently won7.
 The "surge of Hope"
 The party which is going to lose the election almost invariably ex- pefiences 8 surge of hope in the last two or three weeks before election. Possibly you remember the big "swing to Cox" just before the terrific republican landslide of 1920.
 Even after the votes are counted the realities are not always plain to be defeated faction. As astute a politician as he is-or was-Al Smith has been reminding us since 1928 that few hundred thous- and votes, properly distributed" would have changed his defeat into victory. ..-..
 He did not appear to remember or realize that the same had been or might have been said by most other defeated demacrotic stand ard-bearers of the past and that two or three of them had lost out on the electoral count even after winning popular vote pluralities.
 What with these evidence of the fallibility of politicians and the fact their productions are never likely to be conscious under estimates, one is at least justified in asserting that state-by-state prognostications an dthe study of them at this stage of the cam paign is merely a mild form of  Here's the Way to Do It.
 The more cagey political observ- CTS, consequently, confine them selves to stating certain very ob- vious facts and reporting the esti- mates others in or on the sidelines of the political business who are willing to compute. That's one

 Did "Ar Smith want Roosevelt nominated for president?
 John W. Davis, a New Yorker, a former counsel of J. P: Morgan & Go, was nominated by the demo- of "Al" Smiths approval because two-thirds majority required for nomination, had veto power.
 Alfred -E. Smith, of New York. friend of Raskob and others of the money interests, was the nominee of 1928 naturally with the stamp of approval of "Al Smith,"
 This "AI Smith" appeliation per- sonifies to the west and south. not only New Yorker and friend of Wall streeters which were common characteristics of the democratic candidates of PA and '2S, but also "Tammany Hall and wet"
 The year 1892 presents an op- portunity of electing democrat as president accentuated by a rec ord breaking depression during a republican administration and the crystalizing of repeal the 18th amendment thought throughout the country. A democrat elected in 1892 with reasonable good fortune during his administration will be reelected in 1s36.
 If Al Smith had given the 1892 nominee of his party his stamp of approval and he was elected in '32 and reelected in 1936 he would present to the south the picture Of Greater W. J. Bryan and prac- tically the party dictator from 1924 to 1s40.
 F. D. Roosevelt, a New Yorker whom Smith chose to place his name in nomination in '24 and '28 announced his candidacy for the democrat nomination for president

way to keep readers from arguing with you now or giving you the razzberry later on.
 Unfortunately, your correspond ent cannot at this time report any obvious facts that have only re- gently become obvious and which may be described as brand new. The old ones, which still persist, are chiefly.
 There are more states generally regarded as doubtful" than in any recent campaign. The democrats have opened their campaign with more assurance than usual and the republicans with less, although the democrats are not as cockily confident as they were several months ago and the republicans are not as depressed.
 Much depends, as you have doubtless heard until you wish people would stop bothering to mention it on the extent, if any, to which business improves. The democrats are rather certain of carrying the 113 electoral votes of the solid south and Hoover un- doubhtedly will carry such recog- nized republican states as Penn sylvanta republican states as Pennsylvania, Maine, Vermont Michigan, wyoming and Delaware. Majority in Doubt.
 A majority of electoral votes, although some may now seem more likely to go one woy than the other, can be regarded as in doubt until more evidence is available.
 How great the doubt sometimes becomes among the master minds Is indicated by the instance when, after democratic manager Jim Far ley had publicly conceded Hoover's some state of California to the re- publicans, Candidate Roosevelt al- lowed that it was real fighting ground and that he was going out there with the, intent of putting it in the bag.

Germans Throw in Reserves

On Sept z, 1918, allied forces continued their advance on a 50- mile front in northern France. In places their net gain was as much as five miles although the total ground retaken during the days fight did not match that re- covered during the previous day.
 German resistance stiffened noticeably as the tried troops reached the positions from which their great offensives of March and May had been launched.
 Fresh German forces, number ing nearly 250,000, had been in reserve on the Hindenburg line, and the presence of these soldiers lent a new intensity to the fight ing.

Keep the Lines Intact

With the democratic state convention due to begin at New London tonight one last plea for unity of purpose is not amiss. While we don't think that fight for a nomination is necessarily sign of party disruption, we do think that when rival factions prepare two slates of candidates and attempt to force them on each other it is high time that mediation was tried. We don't know at this writing what candidates will be on the democratic ticket tomorrow when it is named. But whoever is chosen will be credit to the party. We know that because we, as well as the rest of the state, are aware of the qualities of the vari- ous men proposed for state and national office.
 There can be no loss of prestige to the party by spirited floor fight for delegates tonight and tomorrow. lnasmuch as the the democratic party is the party of the masses it is only fair that every man should be given the right to seek public office But winner or loser. each and every democrat of Connecticut should recall the fact that in the last two years its representative, Wilbur L. Cross has been governor of this state. His regime has been creditable one in view of the fact that he was handicapped by hostile Legislature. Despite this he showed an in- dependence of spirit and resolve to give the state an administration that was not dictated which appealed to voters of both parties.
 His program, announced in his lnaugura- ton address, naturally met with rebuffs at the hands of republican legislators. We can recall many of his demands that later were endorsed privately and publicly by both democrats and republicans but which were defeated for purely political purposes in the Legislature. Republicans said they couldn't support the district court bill which had the widest endorsement because it deprived them of powerful weapon, namely, political patronage. They attempted to fool with the old age penions subject. but were finally defeated in measure. Democratic liquor bills received scant consideration until they had been amended SO that if successful, some measure of credit would go to the republi- can as we'll as the democratic party of the state.
 Keeping these things in mind the demo- erats at New London should line up winning ticket for the November elections. They have the necessary ammunition. Be- hind the vigorous personality of Governor Cross great things can happen this fall. We hold no brief for faetional differences that are nnagnified beyond their real size. What we anticipate though, when the democratic convention ends tomorrow is display of strength and sagacity that will equal the best efforts of the go.p of this state who, we must confess are actually desperate in their efforts to bring Connee- ticut back into. their fold.

Boy Scouts of Westport are conducting drive against the tent caterpilars now in festing trees of that town. Hundreds of trees and shrubs in Connecticut are dam aged annually by these pests. Some years they seem to be more numerous than ever. Some localities seem to bear the brunt of their attack. The writer has just observed in the last few weeks their inroads in and around, Waterbury. Their nests are easily seen and constitute an unpleasant sight. We certainly wish the local Boy Scouts, or some other organization would make drive against them, for their unsghthness is only one phase of. their visit. They can strip tree entirely of foliage while they are in the caterpillar stage of their viearious exist enoe. A crew of men or boys could get rid of many thousands of the pests in a short time It might be possible to divert some of the Mutual Aid funds to this purpose. crew of able e-bodied men under an able su- pervisor could clean up locality in day. The nests can either be removed by cutting the branches on which the pests have made their nests or better still by burning them out with torches. This must be done oare- fully, though, to prevent running the tree and shrub and should only be entrusted to skilled hands. But where cutting of branches would perhaps destroy the beauty of the shrub or tree the nest will have to be cleared out either by burning or by pulling them off with the hands, a rather messy and dirty task, but praise worthy one, nevertheless.
