Record Vote
 Cast Nome In Gen. Election

Yesterdays general election, de spite a rainy gusty day, brought out the largest number of voters in Nome precinct in recent years. The election insofar as Nome was concerned was hotly contested, with numerous cars placed at the disposal of the voters, which TO doubt assisted materially in producing such good sized vote.
 Both political parties and nu- merous friends of the various contestants toiled early and late on behalf of their favorites.
 Little Creek precinct, four mil es from town also produced a size able vote.
 Returns have arrived during the day from nine of the twenty two Second Division precincts, and the tabulations appear in this issue of the Nugget.
 These tabulations will be add ed to as additional returns come in-this for the convenience and information of our subscribers. It should be remembered that these published election results are not official-they are merely transmitted to the reading public as received by telegram from the outlying districts, and it will doubtless require several weeks before the official result of yes terday's election becomes known.
 The result on the liquor refer endum from the ten voting pre- cincts, including Nome, is BAT for and AT against.

Flight Command" should any
one not have heard Of it, is the film
starring Robert Taylor and Ruth
Hussey, which deals with Navy
flyers. The hemisphere premiere
program will introduce it stimuli
taneously to audiences in Washing
ton, Toronto, Mexico City and Ha-
vana.
One feature Of the hemisphere
premiere of Flight Command" Is
especially piquant. It is that which
encourages sponsors of the project
to fly over the original course Of the
Wright brothers.
Of this aspect of the party, the
story goes:
The Flight Command party will
leave washington airport about
6 pm. Sunday afternoon. It will
disembark for refreshments at Nor
folk, about an hour later. At
that point, there will be an official
greeting, thereafter to be followed
by a flight to Kitty Hawk and a
return journey which will land the
group at the new Washington
airport.
Most piquant of the notes relat-
ing to the Sunday program is that
having to do with the search for
Miss Flight Command" among the
hostesses employed by the various
airlines which land here.
Ever since 1t was announced that
this queen of the skies is expected
to be on hand as hostess for this
sky preview" there has been a
movement to have a Miss-Some-
thing-or-Other for all pictures
shown here. A Miss The Letter."

Richard H. Lee, Washingtonian

THE story of the operetta has to
do with the coed situation at
Cornell. In its action the male
students bemoan the fact that they
have flunked because of the presence
of co-eds on the campus and
demand that co-education be abol-

The story goes on from there,

Without advocating chauvinism, It
nevertheless would not be amiss II
Mr.. Stokowski turned his attention
to some of the output Of composers
Of this country without insistently
playing the part Of propaganda for
the ranking Soviet composer. The
capitalist and democratic audience"
(spoken of in the program notes. is
already acquainted with his art and
has already agreed on his talent.
Therefore, the case Is ended Of this
composer who weds music with poll
tics.
OF the "Sixth Symphony" per-
formed yesterday, Mr.. Stokowsh
says himself that latter hearing this
music three or four times 1t sud-
denly becomes clear and has great
depth" This statement by con-
ductor who has made a compre-
hensive study of it prohibits any
instantaneous opinion from one who
heard 1t only last evening. The per-
sistent idea remains, however, that
four times would not be enough.
It would need more than that to
discover depth in the melodies that
here and there interrupt the clash
ing sounds or to clarity the Utter
bug cacophony which forms its con-
Guiding movement.
The audience was prepared, In a
way, for the sixth Symphony" by
the placing of "The Death of Sieg-
fried" from Wagner's die Goetter-
daemmerung," before 1t. 1t is strange
that Shostakovich, who does not
consider Wagner a great composer,
and who says that in Soviet Russia

order. Beethoven's Third Over
ture to Leonore" was less powerful
In its delineation.
The new seating Of the orchestra
which Mr.. Stokowski has adopted is
no more satisfactory from a third
appraisal than from the first. 1t is
much like sitting at the bass end
of the piano and hearing the left
hand performance over the right.
The cellos and double BASES intrude
their tone into each lyric passage
of the violins or woodwinds to
which they may form an accom-
paniment. The balance of tone is
disturbed and the balance of effect
as well. In their present distri-
button, the violins do not preserve
their purity of united quality nor do
they register with positiveness as

period he has played only two by

Mr.. Stokowski is earnestly seeking
to recognize what is worthy in new

strange that he can find it more
often in Shostakovichs music than
in any written by native musicians.
