1 FOR BRANDEGEE IN. NEW LONDON

that there was considerable local pride mixed in with the friendship for the senator that is and is to be, fs.
 Locally, the main interest in the cleo ton seems to be focused on Senator Bran degee and all the other candidates repub- licans and democrats alike, seem to be a sort of side issue There is more inter- est manifested t1 New London for the reelection of Senator Brandegee than there is in the election of Harding or Cox for the presidency, or even Square Deal" Murray, who aspires to succeed Con gressman Freeman, and who still claims he will lead Freeman by 409 in their old home town. There is no talk now about Costello or Fox for the state senate for Rogers and Payne or Mrs. Brown and George Goss for the legislature, or even the candidates for state officers. The talk is all Brandegee and there does not seem to be any talk against his re-eiec- ton. It is a new political situation for New London. If advance talk and politi- cal signs are dependable the election. so far as New London is concerned is all over, except the legal forrnality of cast ing and counting the ballots.
 There was not always that serious side to politics, such as prevails at the pres ent time, especially In local affairs in New London. In the old days, in the early sixties, the political game was oc- casionally played without placing a jok- CT in the discard. The story goes that among the old Graymen who had those two-wheeled affairs that served as trucks was ore Pitt S. Wheeler He was an old man at the time and something of character. He did most of the carting for the store of Frank and Nelson Sisson, then located in Bank street on the site in part, of the building razed to make way for the new theatre. The Sisson store was of the grocery and liquor sort, and one of the largest in the city.
 Some real practical jokes were form ulated by the coterie that met in the back room of the Sisson store. It was near election time and they decided to run Pitt Wheeler for mayor on an inde- pendent ticket. And they did They do say that Drayman Wheeler was act ually elected. He was not qualified for the position of mayor, and none knew l;
 better than Wheeler himself but he | was not consulted The powers got to- gether, had consultation with the count ! CTS and it was agreed to count Wheeler | out. and declare the republican candi. 1 date elected And this was done This put an end to the practical joking of this n;e | ture. Several jokes have beent nominated
 since then, but they have not been taker ] seriously.

 Our first meeting was held in Novem- Der and after the usual routine business a request from Miss Charlotte Owen field director of Connecticut, to meet a group of Red Cross workers, was pre- scented. A date was arranged for the meeting and a good sized audience lis- tened to Miss Owen who was very anx- ious to see a social worker located here and also a community nurse. Miss Owen regretted the lack of community town of this size that there was not 8 single / organization where everyone worked together for the betterment ot i the community.
