MUSIC EVOLUTION
BROUGHT BY RADIO
Time Limitations Require Cutting
Arias, and Kostelanetz
Apologies.

TINE evolution of a new musical
art form to meet the peculiar
requirements of radio, particu-
i larly that of time length, Is
forecast by Andre Kostelanetz and
the opera artists who appear or have
appeared on his Columbia program.
The comment Of Kostelanetz fol-
lowed Columbia'S announcement that
it had engaged six outstanding COM
posers to write the music especially
for radio, taking full advantage Of the
orchestral effects allowed by the
microphone, but conforming to the
time limitations of broadcasting. The
conductor indicated that his most
difficult assignment in radio has been
the presentation of opera arias as part
of his bi-weekly, half-hour series.
"It has been a matter of compro-
missing with my conscience" said
Kostelanetz, ito cut the length OF
opera arias as presented by Mini Mar
TIM, Rosa Ponselle, Lily Pons and
Crete Stueckgold on my program.
However, after consultation with these
artists, and an examination OF listen
ers' opinions, I believe that many arlas
in their entirety as they are presented
on the operatic stage tend to become
dull and tedious on the air because
of their length and their recurring
musical passages. Therefore, I have
regretfully cut these arias with deep
felt apology to the masters who COM
posed them, but with the firm convic-
ton that this was the only way they
might be presented most effectively
over the microphone. And the opera
stars with whom have had the pleas
ure of working agree with me-"

Most Polls for Roosevelt.

AS to polls of the whole country
most of them, though not all. forecast
a Roosevelt victory. So do most of the
local newspaper polls of StJes and
cities. AS against this, the Literary
Digest poll points clearly and strongly
toward Landon victory.
The Digest poll, it is fair to say, has
exceptional authority. 1t has prestige
because of its uninterrupted correct
ness over a period Of 16 years. Most
of the other Nationwide polls have
had little experience, preceding the
present year. The Digest poll has
further prestige because of the tech
nique for getting accurate results
which it has learned through its long
experience. The Digest poll has yet
further prestige because of its enor-
nous extent. The Digest sent straw
ballots to 10,000,000 voters. This Is
more than one out of four in the whole
electorate. which In the 1882 election
was slightly less than 100000. No
other poll pretends to cover more than
relatively tiny fraction of the Di-
gest's coverage. One well-known
Nationwide poll. the Gallup one, can
hardly reach more than 100000 voters.
OF the 10000, 900 straw ballots sent
out by the Digest, it has already re-
ceived returns from upward of 2,100,-
600. Apparently. by the time the poll
closes, the Digest will have received
returns from close to $500 900 voters.
The percentage of returns is strikirgl1

Many well-informed letters take
exception to the weight I have given
to the poll of Maryland as a barometer
of the Nation. This poll gave Mr.
Roosevelt 64 per cent of the whole
If Maryland be accepted as an index
to the Nation. this Maryland poll
would be forecast OF a decided
Roosevelt victory.
I stated that Maryland is a good
index to the country because in the
last IL presidential elections the
result in Maryland conceded with the
result in the country as a whole. This
statement needs qualification with
respect to two elections. In 1904 and
1908 Maryland gave a popular major
ity to the Republicans, as did the rest
of the country. But the Maryland
Republican majorities were extremely
small-m one year only 81, in the
other COS. AS result, in the separate
votes for Maryland's eight electors,
the Republicans in 1904 got only one
eiector while the Democrats got seven.
In 1908, the Republicans got two while
the Democrats got six. Consequently
it can hardly be said that Maryland
went with the Nationwide winner in
all of the last IL elections. This objec-
tion to accepting this years Maryland
poll as an index to the Nation is sup
plemented by others. Altogether. the
argument that the Maryland poll is
an index to the Nation is somewhat

with his rampageous st. Mary's team

He was just $3.50 as Knute
Rockne's center at Notre Dame, from
1916 to 1919. AS a coach, he has
made little ST. Mary's a big-time
menace, East or West. There is more

but that, today, is mainly his pink

young Slip Madigan was the undis-
covered man and st. Mary's the for
gotten college. Out of Notre Dame
in 1919, he coached an obscure Ore
gon team, took law degree and be-
came coach of st. Mary's in 1921
also trainer, rubber, handler, doctor,
dietician and pants mender.
The University of California had
beaten St Mary's by 120 to O. In
a dingy old building on a dingy side
street, the college had about 800 stu
dents. They WINGED when anybody
mentioned foot ball Madigan had
to work like Billy Sunday to get out

That year California beat them by
only 20 to 0. and from then on St.
Mary's steadily kept both the goose
egg and the wolf from the door. One
after another, the big coast cobras
were toppled by the little st. 'Mary's
mongoose-to their stupehed amaze

the leader in national poll Of coach
popularity, getting 349,444 votes. st.
MaryS won students, endoWments
and a beautiful new home.
Whenever one of his lads messed
up play, fumbled the ball or missed
an easy catch, Madigan would tell
them how Tom Deegan would have
handled that play. The name might
have been Dugan, but, at any rate, 1t
was some such Irish name. Deegan,
it seemed, had been one of Madigan's
mates at Notre Dame. When a player
put over something fast or clever,
Madigan would recall that Tom
Deegan won such and such a close
game by just such play. The boys
got to asking themselves, when they
went to bed at night, whether they
had played that day as Tom Deegan
would play He was their mentor.

havior.
When st. Mary's and Tom Deegan
had been winning games for years.
somebody wrote a book about the
late Knute Rockne 1t listed every
man on all Rockne's squads, but no
Tom Deegan.
The omission was called to Madi-

bility. The other case was California
which I visited early in August and
which since then has shown signs
of greatly reducing the majority
originally indicated.
The Baltimore Sun poll was hon.
estly and fairly conducted. The Sun
itself had declared editorially that
it could not support Mr.. Roosevelt for
reelection, so there was no chance
of any accusation Of b.ls In managing
the poll itself.
Accidental Factors Involved.
But there are certain factors over
which the Sun had no control and
which must be taken into considera-
ton in weighing the merits CT the
canvass. First of all. the poll was an
nounced several weeks in advance Of
the mailing of ballots. The New Deal
machine in Baltimore urged its pre-
cinct captains to make sure that all
available ballots were marked. An
unprecedented response, unknown In
any other poll, was recorded.
1t is reported that foremen on
W. P. A. units asked the men to bring
their ballot cards to a central place
to be sent in. Likewise, in Negro
wards, it is charged that workers COL
lected the cards for mailing to the
Sun. Then there are rumors that
many of the ballots were marked in
post Offices here and there by Farley
employees. One mistake was made by
the Sun-it sent postcards to be re-
turned, and that meant an open in
stead of a secret ballot. Persons on
the relief rolls saw strange key num-
bers on the cards and felt there might
be some way to identify their votes if
they balloted against the New Deal.
The Sun itself comments on the
hesitancy Of rural voters to return the
ballots because they felt that postmen
on their route could tell what the
ballot was and perhaps make list
of voters,
