ELECTION OF Al ALL FIGURED OUT BY STATISTICIANS Figure Solid South With Wet States Will Put Governor Over. Times Washinaton Bureau, 1322 .Veto York Avenue Washington, Aug. 17.—The electiorf of Governor A1 Smith with fourteen electoral votes to spare—and possibly by a landslide, or— The election of either Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland or Senator James E. Reed of Missouri. 1 This is the way some Washington pblitical arithmeticians of antiprohibition proclivities, figure thq outcome of the 1928 presidential election, if either of these three enemies of the Volstead should be the Democratic candidates and the Democrats adopt a modification platform. Fp to Smith The assumption of victory, of course, is based on the acceptance by the solid south of the Democraticcandidate regardless of his religion or the advocacy of modification. These mathematicians assume also, that the Republican party which nominates first will continue its advocacy of bone dry prohibition. The belief that the Democrats can win on a modification platform—with the aid of the Southern States — is based on the success this summer of anti-prohibition candidates in Missouri and Pennsylvania. Many Washington observers are convinced that prohibition cannot be dodged as the paramount isfeue in 1928 and say every political sign points to a demand by the voters for a change in the existing law. Davis Vote Cited In 1924 John W. Davis, the Democratic presidential candidate, got only 136 out of 531 electoral votes. To elect 266 votes are required. This southern bloc of 136 votes are given to the Democratic candidate at the start. It includes Alabama, 12; Arkansas, 9; Florida, 6; Georgia, 14; Louisana, 10; Mississippi, 10; North Carolina, 12; Oklahoma, 10; Ajouth Carolina, 9; Tennessee, 12UTexas, 20, and Virginia. 12. Davis did not carry the border States of Maryland with eight votes and Missouri with eighteen, but in a prohibition fight these States, nominally Democratic, are given to the Democratic nominee, thereby boosting his total to 162/ Gets New York The anti-Volstead candidate is given New—York’s forty-five .votes, as a matter of course, likewise fourteen from New Jersey and eighteen from Massachusetts. This bloc of seventy-seven is regarded as sure as the vOte in the solid South and it swells the total to 239. There are twenty-nine electoral votes in 111!noig s and in view of the overwhelming Victory of , George Brennan for the Democratic senatorial nomination on a modification platform and Illinois’ forthcoming prohibition referendum, this State is given to the Democratic candidate, if he is “moist,” and that makes a total of 268, or two more than is necessary for election. Connecticut, Too But in a prohibition contest the statisticians believe, Connecticut, with seven, and Rhode Island, with

MAY USE PLANES IN LIQUOR WAR Bv United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—Plans for reinforcing America's new prohibition air fleet were being considered by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Andrews today. M. O. Dunning, chief dry co-ordi-nator for southeastecn States, reported to Andrews that seaplanes had bn used effectively in suppressii r liquor smuggling iff Florida, G orgia and South Carolina. Dunning has had four planes under his control to test out the advisability of attacking bootleggers from the sky. Andrews may ask Congress this year for an appropriation to build special prohibition planes. The shis would be designed so they could be used by military forces In case of a national emergency. Dunning, it Is understood, told Andrews that with his four flanes the south Atlantic coastline can be patrolled daily, and liquor ships detected miles before they come within territorial waters.

.THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SCHOOL PROGRAM IS CONSIDERED (Continued From Page 1) an entirely new structure at FiftySeventh St. and Broadway, to be known as 84. Included in this appropriation will be additions to Schools 43, 47, 66 and 62. Frazer said he did not believe additions to schools are a saving and that erection of sufficiently large schools was greater economy. Slicing of Hie school budget figures went on ruthlessly, though, and will continue for about five days. Frazer expressed hope that the levy will' be near sl.lO, the present one, and might drop under this, although that is hardly considered possible. / , Cut Requests Frazer, Murray Dahlman, of the research department, agfa Michael Madden, of the business office, will confer with department heads to carry on the budget paring. With the presentation of departmental needs for the budget estimates, it was learned that Superintendent E. U. Graff had submitted a detailed housing program calling for expenditures of $1,900,000. It called for new school buildings on the sites of Schools 73, 77, 56, 69, 80, 81 and 82. The first two were to be eight-room buildings; School 56, sixteen rooms; 69, eight rooms; 80, sixteen rooms; 81, eight rooms, and 82, nine rooms. Set out in the program wais the need for additions to Schools 43. 47, j 66, 36, 44. 62, 8, 15, 20. 28, 49 and 63. From this the board selected the $710,000 building program. Chamber to Aid Although no public announcement 1 has been made, it has been indicated that, the Chamber of Commerce will support the board in its'needs. The Chamber has made a complete review of the situation. The tentative budget will be presented to the school board Aug 31. It will be advertised ten days, after which period ten or more taxpayers may file a remonstrance petition before the State tax board. Cites Districts Frazer, in declaring $5,000,000 is needed for school buildings, cited that in the north section of the city ttere are no schools between FortySVh St. and Central Ave. and Broad Ripple. The board believes erection of School 84, at Fifty-Seventh St., ] will relieve the congested conditions. | Frazer said he favored razing the 1 grade school at Broad Ripple and constructing a. new building. East on Thirtieth, Thirty-Fourth and Thirty-Eighth Sts. Frazer said the growth will bo rapid and the lack of schools will be noticeable soon. Increase of $8,000,000 in the assessed valuation of school city property this year would bring about SBBB,BOO inttV the school funds at a levy of sl.lO. Frazer declared. It was pointed out that the financial report of the Jjoard for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1926, showed $1,180,331.93 remaining In the special fund. He said this actually was spent because nine buildings are under VmstrQctlon and three will be started soon. Those under construction are: Schools 9. 14. 33, 34, 46. 72 and 78. and the Washington and Crispus, Attucks High Schools. Thse yet to he built are: Schools 37, 42 and Shortridge. The high school financing does not directly come from the special fund, but some of the expenditures are met from it. Frazer said.

President Coolidge hopes the League of Nations will accept American membership in the World Court on the drastic conditions laid down by Congress. While only four of the forty-eight members have signified their approval of American entrance, Sec--1 retarv of State Kellogg, a summer White House guest, feels that if the United tSatss waits long enough, it tan be admitted. “I am confident of the final outcome” Kellogg said in a conference with newspapermen, “but it probably will take a long time.” Kellogg seemed discouraged, however, over the small number of league members who want America in the court. All four approvals came from minor countries, Uruguay Having consented to American enI trance just before the secretary left Washington. Kellogg said that most of the countries are withholding their decision until the league conference at Geneva next month, svhen American entrance will he the most imi portant subject of discussion.

Finally Smith got op, walked over to the lone telephone in the office and answered it. —“the call is for you, Jones.” * Smith returned to his desk, Jones went to the telephone and nine people picked up their tasks where they had left off. Just a few seconds interruption. Did it matter much? The new boss thought so. He saw ten chains of thought broken, ten pairs of hands idle —every few minutes dining the day. There was only one telephone in the department. When the bell rang everyone stopped work. More telephones! That was the answer. They were ©promptly installed.
