Voters of the strong 1lth and 18th districts began visiting their polling places ct puggan school gym and the Washing ton avenue fire sta- ton early this morning and shortly before noon today 1t was reported the total vote already recorded had surpassed that of other years. Mod orators, town committeeman of both parties and district workers were prepared to accommodate the large crowd expected late this afternoon and shortly before the polls close at 6 o'clock.
 Four machines, one more than the usual number, were in operation at the Duggan Gymnasium and Town Committeeman Matt Dunphy report ed another was being held for emer- gency use. At the fire station, head quarters of the 18th district, the usual two machines were rushed and 1t was thought that later this after- noon, Q third would be opened. Frank Leary, Democratic commit teeman of this district, predicted Q record vote.
 Frank Varanelli, 11th district g. 0. D. chairman and his associate of the 18th, Michael J'Anthony, were pleased with the early turnout. Both groups have an exceptionally large staR and were making exhaustive efforts to bring out the total vote. It was said the extra emergency machines will serve to eliminate last minute disappointment since in pre- vious elections many last minute arrivals standing in line were not allowed to vote because time did not permit.

A SOCIETY OF GEORGES

Noting the tendency of many per-
sons to call all Pullman porters George, =
a crusade against the practice was started
in fun 20 years ago by George w. Dulany,
a Chicago lumberman and banker, who
formed the Society for the Prevention of
Calling Sleeping Car Porters George"
Only persons whose names include
George are eligible for membership, and
the society now numbers about 10000,
who have been invited to join by the
founder. lit is said that Mr.. Dulany has
spent some $4,000 in promoting his little
joke and the list of members includes
many notables throughout the world.
,on II days ago Georgia's senior Uni
ted states Senator, Walter F. George, was
elected president of the society, succeed
ing former Senator George H. Moses of
New Hampshire.
Other officials, according to list
published in Time, are President

Senator George said in connection with his
acceptance of the new honor which has
come to, him: "Porters should be called
by some official title, perhaps Porter, or,
why not call them by their own names?"
Which seems, reasonable enough.
