The energetic manner in which people of the United States conducted their elections was commented up by Mr Justice Kennedy, who returned from a world tour by the Monterey on Saturday. His Honour said he was in San Francisco during the recent mavoral election and found that some remarkable methods were used for attracting electors' votes. Outstanding among these was “sky-writing" by aeroplanes, in which slogans such as "Vote for Mayor Rossi” were spoiled out in smoke. So high was the “writing” done that the aeroplanes 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.
