London, Nov- 2.—The voters of
England always seem to get more fun
out of election day. than the Ameri
cans, and everyone is looking forward
to a very exciting time In the coming
parliamentary races.
It is customary for all the candi
dates along ,with their wives or hus
bands to be present at the central
polling places 'in their boroughs or
counties so they can appear before
the populace and make speeches as
soon as the will of the electorate is
proclaimed. This is a very pleasing
and satisfactory experience to the suc
cessful candidates Thfe spirit in
which the unsuccessful accept defeat
is always keenly awaited by the as
sembled voters because sportsmanship
is suoh an important trait with the
British.

and'their sizes are known only to a
