POLITICAL PARADE
BY GEORGE ROCKWELL BROWN

DOLTTICAL leaders of both
parties are watching with
the utmost concern the trend
of popular feeling in three
states where a month hence i'm

New York will elect a lieu
tenant governor, and New
Jersey and Kentucky will elect
governors. All are counted on

bearing upon next years major
league battle for the pennant.
But there is another election
10 be held on Nov. 2 which pro-
fesSional politicians regard as
being even more of barometer
than the more important ones
in the three states named.
The city of Akron. O.. will
elect a mayor to succeed the
present Democratic mayor,
George B. Harter, a pronounced
advocate of organized labor,
who is being supported in his
present campaign for re-elec-
ton 100 per cent by the labor
organizations.
HIS Republican oppon ent,
IL Charles Slusser, is a con-
sentative business man, the
owner and manager of an in
surance agency and chairman
Of the finance committee of the
city board of education.

ment is being employed for
making infra-red rejecting

There will be infra-red ray
