removed except for cause.
1t means also moral and political independence TO

lTe Jealous support 10 the nominations OF his party
especially when made unanimously. Yet Mr. Curtis has
boosted TO "a Democratic Congressman that he came all
the way from Washington 10 Staten Island to vote for
Democratic nominee for State Senator against Mr. Gil
bert c. Ueane, Republican nominated unanimously by
q Republican Convention. In his case, lie voted for a
Democrat in the OF the Connecticut Republicans,
