Street Illumination
 Big Safety Factor
Connecticut Now Boasts 5000 Miles of We'll Lighted
 Streets-Arc Lights Becoming Obsolete

of illumination was reduced by inc stallation of incandescentS of less candlepower and wattage. This site uation has changed in the past pear or two, however, with prac- tically all of the temporarily ex- tinguished lights being returned to service and with the original carl- dlepowe. being replaced. Moreover, some communities have added to the number of the lamps to bring more light to streets which preyi- ously had little illumination.
 Safety Factor
 Street illumination is more and more being recognized as 8 safety factor, not only with respect to au- to.nobile accidents but from the view point of protecting the corn- munity from crime, since the crin- iral shuns light. From the traffic angle it is a proved point that few accidents occur where illumination is good. On the other hand, acci- dents on the unlighted rural high ways have been on the increase ever since 1928. Safety has thus be- come the motivating factor in mu- nicipal street lighting while traffic authorities are urging more and more the necessity for illumination for that purr ,se on the roads out- side of town limits.

 The men denied that they were itinerants, both claiming residence in Waterbury, and Judge McGrath declared that the state had not made out any case against them. They weer defended by Attorney Michael Ciano.

DEATH ACCIDENTAL REPORTS CORONER
British War Veteran Died of Gas Poisoning in
 ROOming House

Accidental Illuminating gas pois- oning caused the death of Edward Gibbons, A, of All West Main street according to report by Dr. Harold F. Merrill, assistant medical exam iner. Gibbons body was found in his room yesterday morning, after his landlady had been unable to rouse him and called on two neigh bors to investigate.
 Chemical tests following an autopsy showed the cause of death to have been the gase which leaked from a connecting hose. Gibbons was overcome in his sleep even though his head was close to an open window.
 Gibbons was born in Ireland and served with the British army dur ing the World war. His parents and other relatives in Ireland sur- vive him. He came to this city from Boston in 1926 and had been em- ployed at the American Cyanamid and Chemical Corp.
 Funeral arrangements have not been completed.

 The state party platforms model after the national ones and Bleak ley attacks government extrava. gance, protests harasSment of business, and generally slams New Deal policies.
 Lehman stands on a record ot support for progressive legisla- tion, including strict regulation of public utilities plus cooperation with New Deal legislation, state social security bills which re- publican legislature blocked, and compulsory audit of milk trust" books in the interests of both farmers and consumers.
 The New York Evening Post has revealed certain alleged private financial transactions of Bleakley during his judicial tenure and this may prove important. Some voters upstate will support Lehman the Jew rather than Bleakley the Ro- man Catholic, but many Tammany Irishmen in New York City will turn to Bleakley, some because Leh- man once vetoed a badly written bill providing free transportation for parochial school children.
 Both Claim New Voters
 New York City registration is about 2,900,000 and upstate regis tration will be somewhere near B. 500,000. The New York City increase is about 560,000 and politicians agree that at least half of it was made without prompting by party work CTS. Upstate registration has in- creased 15 to 20 per cent, not quite so spectacularly.
 Republicans say the new voters turned out to repudiate the New Deal. Democrats say the big new registration means that labor, Me- groes, new voters, Jews, and old people interested in social security will support their party ticket as never before.
 The fact that New York and cities throughout the state have registered big is generally taken as favorable to the democrats. Rural registration can't yet be calculated.
 RooSevelt's New York City plurality in 1882 was S7O,O0O and he carried the state by 587,O0O. Some Tammany leaders see him carrying the city this year by 100000 to 900,O0O.
 In last years local elections, the democratic majority was 100000 Republicans say many voters cast democratic ballots to local elections, but go republican in state and na- tional contests.
 Democrats insist there's 8 mighty upsurge of Roosevelt sentiment which will increase their last year in the metropolis.

Connecticut has more than 5000 miles of lighted streets in it's cities and towns, and illumination on these streets is provided by 54,000 street lights, according to ilaforma- ton filed with the Connecticut Public Utilities Commission by power and light utilities in this state. Most of these lights are con- centrated within the more popu- lated areas, and there is little in the line of general illumination on the rural highways.
 On the average for the whole state, there are about IT street lights per mile of lighted streets, but in the larger cities, including their outskirts, the average runs to 20 lights per mile or about 260 feet apart. In the centers of the larger cities, street lamps are usually placed from 100 to 15O feet or even less apart, 50 that the illumination available approximates that of day. light.
 Replace Arc Lights
 Arc lights which once shed their glow on Connecticut streets have gradually been giving way to big incandescent bulbs, the records show. Today there are nearly 52,000 incandescents furnishing street H. lunination in cities and towns of the state, while the number of arc lights has dropped to a little more than 2,000.
 A few years ago at the depth of the depression, many municipal governments attempted to eco1- omize on street lighting as means of cutting expenses to match re- duced community income. Some street lamps were entirely shut off and in ther instances the amount

Farmers for Landon

Regardless of the size of Roose- velt's New York City plurality, it can be reported that although near ly purely rural counties upstate show a marked decline in Roose- welt sentiment since 1882. there is an increase of Roosevelt straw votes wherever upstate counties are im- portantly industrialized.
 Democrats will take 2 to l licking in communities where farmers predominate heavily, but will hold down Landon's upstate majority by showing strength wherever industrial labor is to be found.
 Upstate labor, according to most sources, has heretofore usually been republican.
 About two-thirds of the state vote is in communities of 1000 or 5000 or more, although many communities of up to 10000 are not necessarily industrialized.
 The New Deal is the only iIn- portant issue in New York state and both sides agree that the tre- mendously increased registration is due either to protest against or support of it.
 Tine gubernatorial fight is an echo of the national conflict and republicans attack the Little New Deal" of Governor Herbert Leh- man.
 From excellent sources I get the assertion that the Roosevelt and Lehman vote will run about even, but other reports differ, including those which quote unidentified Tammany leaders as saying the state ticket will run well behind the national ticket in New York City.

Worried by Propaganda

At democratic campaign head quarters, one finds profound but url- admitted concern over the republi- can "pay envelope" propaganda which seeks to make the contribu- tory old age pension plan and its employer -employe assessment an issue against the New Deal.
 If this propaganda is successful, it may cut into the pro-Roosevelt labor vote.

one believes the machine can de"

 Other pro-R Roosevelt factors are the Farley-federal machine, ex- tending down into WPA ranks; a Jewish vote apparently solidified for Roosevelt by republican em- phasis on the name of David Du- binsky; a predominantly demo- cratic Negro vote; the American Labor Party, which is making @ state wide Roosevelt Lehman campaign and is considered the biggest factor in the city's regis tration increase; and Mayor La- Guardia and the independent pro- gressive group fighting for Roose- welt.
 Play on Tammany's Fears
 Republicans seek to enrage Tam many by the assurance that the American Labor Party will not only divert votes from local Democratic candidates, but will also be Roose- velt's pet after election. This may or may not have effect.
 Upstate the Democrats rely on such cities as Rochester, Sra cuse, Buffalo, Schnectady, AL bany, and Troy. but admit far,n- CTS by and large have been rabid- ly against the New Deal. Especially the milk farmers, who have had no direct AAA benefits.
 The Republican campaign up-
 state for a huge majority has
 been intensive and a flood of
 propaganda has been unloosed. But Democrats have poured 90 million pieces of literature into that large area and have made it 3 point to get New Dealers of na-
 tional reputation into small
 towns, on the theory that aI- though meetings might be sparse ly attended, local anti-New Deal newspapers would give their mes- sages plenty of space.
 The worst the Democrats have done upstate in late years was the defeat of Al Smith north of the Bronx by 586.000 in 1928.
 Roosevelt was licked upstate for governor by only 175,0D0 in 19S0 and lost there in the presi- dential race of 1892 by only 275,- 900. Lehman, running for gover- nor, lost upstate by but 400O in 1884.
 Most experts guess that Lan- don's upstate majority will not exceed 500,000 and some suggest it will be far less. The safest bet is that Landon will come some where between winning the Elm pire state by 300,000 and loosing 1t by 750,000.

The day is cold, and dark, and

weary;
The vine still clings to the molder-
ing wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves
fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and
dreary;
1t rains, and the wind is never
weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mold
ering Past,
But the hopes Of youth fall thick
in the blast
And the days are dark and
dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease re-

Behind the clouds is the sun still

Thy fate is the common fate Of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and
