Political Party Strength Revealed in Statistics In the history of the United States, election figures reveal some interesting points relative to strength of the respective political parties. Since the election of George Washington as a Republican in 1789, the United States has had 23 Republican presidents, 10 Democratic presidents, two presidents who were members of the Whig party and one Federalist. Many of course were in office for two terms. The greatest majority for election in popular votes was piled up by Calvin Coolidge in 1924 when he had 15,725,016 to 8,386,503 given John W. Davis.

In elector votes, however, Franklin Delano Roosevelt the greatest majority in the 1932 election with 472 and Hoover 87. The Coolidge majority over Davis in 1924 was almost two to one in terms of the popular vote, while in 1932 Roosevelt had 22,821,857 and Hoover 15,761,841 or a smaller percentage in popular votes. To be chosen president of the United States it is necessary for the candidate to receive enough votes in the respective states to give him at least 266 electoral votes. Pennsylvania and New York lead with the greatest number of electoral votes. Elector votes assigned to each state are as follows: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, 22; Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Nevada, New Hempshire, New Jersey, 16; New Mexico, New York, 47; North Carolina, 13; North Dakota, Florida, Georgia, 12; Idaho, Illinois, 29; Indiana, 14; Iowa, 11; Kansas, Kentucky, 11; Louisiana, 10; Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, 17; Michigan, 19; Minnesota, 11; Mississippi, W.

N. Decker Addresses Kiwanians Speaker Explains How Tax Receipts May Be Used As Cash Tax receipts may under certain conditions be used as' money for payment of wages Secre legal, tary W. N. Decker of the Altoona school district told members of the Altoona Kiwanis club assembled for their regular meeting yesterday noon at the Penn Alto hotel. The circumstances under which tax receipts become money arise, Mr.

Decker explained, when employers have satisfied wage attachments issued by school district to collect delinquent head taxes of employes. "The school district's receipt 19- sued to the employer upon payment of such delinquent taxes in behalf of the employe may be used by the employer in place of cash for payment of all or part of the wages due the employes in question," Mr. Decker said. Discussing collection of delinquent school taxes, Secretary Decker also revealed other little known legal aspects of the problem. "In the matter of property taxes, tenants ca can be held liable for payment of the landlord's tax in cases of delinquency.

When you rent a house, you become jointly responsible with the landlord for payment of school taxes assessed on the property rented. In extreme cases, your personal property can be sold to collect taxes on the house you rent." Calling delinquent taxes "one of the big financial problems of the city of Altoona," Secretary Decker held that only by giving close attention to the matter and by careful collection of all back taxes can the interests of the citizens be served. "Taxes are collectible, and taxes are going to be collected," he declared. "I believe that by the end of the present fiscal year, we may be able to show a decrease," he stated. "Three things have contributed to the Improvement: first, better times; second, we are pressing harder for collection, and third, certain legislation has provided abatement of penalties." M.

Verna Faust, a teacher of botany in Altoona High school, urged the club to take action asking the state government to purchase and preserve Lakemont park as a shrine natural beauty and historical interest. The matter was referred to the public affairs committee for consideration, and will later be presented in open meeting for the decision of the membership. Rev. Edward Watkins introduced a new member, Jack Drenning of the Drenning Delivery service, giving an account of his life, interests and hobbies: President Joe Fritsche announced plans for a Kiwanis Ladies' night party Thursday evening, November 5, and named the membership a committee of the whole to plan for the affair. Chairmen named include Rudy DeSouza, John McCullough, Bob Ritts, Harold Sawtelle, Ed Martin, and Sherm Wise.

Plans were also for representation at the district convention in Pittsburg week after next.

Lippman's Mark 47th Anniversary Mayor Urges Hallowe'en Parade Mayor J.

Harry Moser said yesterday he believed it would be a fine thing for Altoona to sponsor mummer's parade on Hallowe'en night- -and he expressed the hope that a group of organizations and merchants would get together and formulate a program of events for that evening. The mayor believes that merchants and others would be glad to aid by offering prizes and that a large number of organizations and individuals would turn out to make the projected event a success. He included the high school bands, the Municipal bands and all othe: musical organizations in his statement that heretofore all these groups had shown a civic spirit in turning out on various occasions. "The city has not had a Hallowe'en parade for number of years. They're lots of fun and I feel sure a sufficiently large number of persons would become interested to make it a great success," said the executive.

"In addition we should invite the residents of neighboring towns to come and join in with us," he concluded. The mayor said he would be glad hear from all organizations interested and suggested that a meeting could be held soon in which plans for the event could be arranged. He said he felt sure the youngsters of the city would be for it "one hundred per cent," adding that such event might help to them from carrying their Hallowe'en pranks too far. In the past there has been considerable annoyance and property damage from Hallowe'en pranks and the mayor is of the opinion that an organized event would help to find an outlet for youthful enthusiasm and furnish a lot of fun and enjoyment for them and the older folks as well.

Fire Drills Held at High Schools More progress is being made in the observance of Fire Prevention Week in Altoona this year than ever before in the opinion of Councilman W. S. Simpson, director of public safety and Paul Amheiser, chief of the city fire department.

With three days still to go these officials feel that a strong lesson will have been preached to all the residents of the community this week in this important work. Yesterday was devoted principally to fire drills in local schools and from reports some exceptionally fine records were made in evacuating the buildings when the fire alarm was sounded. In the Senior and Junior high schools the pupils participated almost simultaneously in fire drills yesterday morning. In the Senior high school building 4,100 pupils, teachers and other employes were taken from the building in three minutes without any disorder whatsoever--and school officials said afterward they felt confident half minute still could be cut from the record made yesterday morning. The drill was the first for the, year at the high schorl and officials said it was creditable showing indeed because the members of the freshmen class had not previously participated in a fire drill in this building.

Chief Amheiser said yesterday that in all of the rooms signs have been posted indicating the nearest exit to be used by the students in leaving the building when an alarm is sounded. The alarm bells in the school buildings have a different tone from the class schedule bell. When the pupils of the Senior high school had gained the sidewalk yesterday morning, Roosevelt high school also was conducting a drill and before long the pupils from both schools had assembled on the sidewalk making an approximate total of 6,000. The Roosevelt building was evacuated in two minutes. Similar will proceed during the remaining days of the week.

The first three days had been set for the schools on eastern side of the city while the three days will be devoted to those on the western side. In addition members of the fire department are contacting business establishments throughout the city in the interests of the campaign for fire prevention. Trained Pets Give.
