Judge B. F. Gaffney, in his compli-
mentary dinner upon being unani-
mous1y nominated and endorsed for
Judge of probate for the eighth con-
secutive time, introduced a new and
decidedly novel scheme in the way Of
formal dinners. 1t was a Hooverized
dinner, and the Hooverisms extended
also to the after dinner speeches. The
genial host explained that there
would be no speeches, but everybody
thought that there would be one or
two oratorically inclined gentlemen
who would insist on saying "just
few words" The millennium in din
ners was reached however, when
there was no speech making. Judge
Gaffney himself in q very few simple.
straightforwardA words, expressed his
qualification and appreciation of the
honor bestowed upon him. It was a
straight from the shoulder thanks.
And it ended the speechmal1ing. Let
us hope that the Judge has instituted
a new order of things at dinners.

That politics is adjourned in New
Britain seems to be no idle boast. |
Just look at the recent republican |
primary when less than 30 votes were |
cast. Look at the democratic caucus |
when the only excitement was that |
caused by an insurgent party man. |
From force of habit, two tickets are |
in the field. Custom demands it. But |
Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps, |
production of war munitions, combat !
ing the influenza and burning de- |
sire to bring about an unconditional |
surrender are what New Britain peo |
pie are most interested in.
