MOUNT VERNON HIGHWAY
MAY BE LIGHTED AGAIN
$6, 700 in Budget, However, Insuf-
ficient for Year, Due to
Needed Repairs.

Oficials of the National Capital
Parks today held out the hope that
the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway
may be lighted during the coming
fiscal year, at least part Of the period.
AS an economy measure the Govern
ment eliminated lighting on the
highway during the depression. and
officials said today that repairs will be
necessary now to put the system in
first-class condition.
Some $4,000 Is in prospect in the
budget, but this will not be sufficient
to carry out the program on a 12-
month basis, officials said. Just how
the details will be worked out re-
mains to be determined after Con-
gress has appropriated the necessary
funds, officials said.

MOVIE TASTES CHANGE

Peru Takes to Argentine Rather
Than American Films.
Moving picture tastes are changing
In Peru, where the once-popular
American films are neglected for those
turned out in the new studios of
Latin America. Argentine pictures
are especially in demand in Lima.
A vital element in the preference is
Spanish dialogue. but quite as i'm
portant Is the different portrayal of
life.
Pictures produced in the United
States, even those with Spanish dia-
logue, are regarded as of the Ameri-
can type. Consequently these pictures,
although they still have a vogue, are
not as popular as pictures from Eu-
rope and the Latin Americas.

DEWELL AID IS
 CALLED SLIGHT
C. o. p. Maintains Demo- crats Won't Pick Up
 Votes By His Presence
Special to The Democrat)

(SpeClaI tO The DemOcrat)
 Thomaston, Sept. 27-Thomaston holds its town election next Monday and from present indications the vote cast will be one of the largest polled in years. Both the Republi- can and the Democratic parties are certain of victory. Both parties are making all necessary arrangements to bring all of the registered voters in the town out on election day. The Democrats with new chairman re- gently elected by the Democratic town committee making more noise than are the Republicans, while the Republican party on the other hand IS working smoothly, quietly, and eff fectively.
 John Davis, chairman of the Democratic town committee for the past number of years, was replaced by John Rabbit two weeks ago. Named By Democrats
 The key men in the coming town election is perhaps, George A Dewell, board of education chairman and defeated by the Republicans party for renomination but nominated a few days later by the Democrats. Dewell is reputed as having con- siderable strength in the Reynolds Bridge section and curb stone ru- mors to the effect that Dewell will perhaps cause a great many Repub- lican voters to cast a straight Dem- ocratic ticket have been heard.
 In last years town election the Republicans drew 538 straight bal lots against 203 for the Democrats, difference of 335. This, of course was due to the presidential election and the amazing popularity of Pres- ident Roosevelt. Never before was the vote as close as was last years Efficient Machine
 The Republican machine in Thomaston is highly effective one and all of the Republican candi- dates are popular office holders oi long standing. Many of Dewell's most ardent supporters point out that many normal Republicans will cast straight ticket to help along Dewell and others on the Democra' tic ticket. This point may be eX. aggerated, because Dewell's popu- larity in Thomaston is questioned especially since being thrown down by his own party (the Republican party) and there Is no question but what Dewell is more popular with the Jeffersonian party than with the Republicans. While serving on the school board Dewell depended on the help of the Democrats on the board for support of his proposals.
 The two outstanding vote getters in Thomaston are First Selectmar F. R. Kaiser, and James P. (TafD Ryan and both these men head the Republican ticket. It does not, ap. pear that there are many Republi- cans in Thomaston who would vote for straight Democratic ticket be. cause of Dewells presence on the oppositions ticket. It is believed by some Democrats that not half a dozen Republicans in Thomaston would cast straight ticket merely to help out Dewell thereby hurting their own party. It is contended that the half dozen Republicans who might be persuaded to vote 9 straight Democratic ticket who do so because they are disgruntaled and have their own axes to srind.
