American Elections
The energetic manner in which people of the United States conducted their elections was commented on by Mr Justice Kennedy, who has returned to Auckland from a world tour. His Honour said he was in San Francisco during the recent mayoral election and found that some remarkable methods wore used for attracting electors’ votes. Outstanding among these was “sky-writing” by aeroplanes, in which slogans such as “Vote for Mayor Rossi" were spelled out in smoker So high was the “writing” done that the aeroplane looked exceedingly small. Another method of campaigning was with processions of cars, which drove through the streets bearing banners and accompanied by a great noise of hooters.
