We note that SUN YAT SEN,

to clear the way for WU PEI FLU

ment, but may commit suicide to
embarrass the opposition. We sug
gest that, IL he wants to make WI
feel remorse, he eat earthworms.
The flapper, as heroine, is to
disappear from the movies. The
public is tired of her and wants to
go back to the good little girl type
deep blue eyes, golden curls, in
nocence and sweetness stamped all
over her face.
There was a little girl
Who had little curl

When she was good
She was very, very good,
But when she was bad she was
hOrrid."
Reform on the stage may take us
back to the good old days Of the
drama, when the innocent heroine
beset on all sides by the villain,
was finally saved from dishonor by
the rough back woodsman or the
smoke-begrimed mechanic. 1t all
tugged at the heart strings and
brought out the best in life.
Since those days the vamp has
reiRned supreme and we have had
a long period of suggestive stuff
that has done no good. to American
morals and lives.
Since those autoists broke four
quarts of corn liquor at the feet of
Traffic Officer Katona, he cannot
be accused of having "cold feet"

LABOR MEN OUT FOR DEMOCRATIC.
 TICKET PLACES
O'Meara and Tone Gaining Much Support in New Haven's
 Senatorial Districts.

With the s calling of the democratic state convention and the setting of the primary date !, things politically in New Haven and elsewhere about the state have now become quite lively. Aside from the contest over the shievalty nomina- ton in New Haven county, the many aspirants for congressional honors on the democratic end, there have also developed contests in several of the senatorial districts in which are in volved many of Organized Labor s close friends and even members.
 Organized Labor as such has so far, under the non-partisan program maintained a neutral attitude in the sheriff and congressional contests, and will continue to do so until the candidates have been formally dis cussed and their merits and demerits noted The same attitude has official ly been followed in the U. s. senator ial and governorship contests, but in the senatorial district fights the very nature of the nominations has led many Laboring men, close friends of the aspiFants, to take sides Tn the issue
 This is especially true in the Eleventh district where at least three friends of Labor, one of them P. If. O'Meara, head of the Connecticut Federation, are candidates for the honor The others are Dennis Clyne and John s. Mccarthy. while a fourth, whose temper has not yet been developed, Attorney Anthony Adinolf has also entered the lists. The district has an enormous Labor vote and although through the gerry mander put over by the republicans last year, President O'Meara has been practically booted into the dis trict his legion of friends expect to put him across at the primaries and convention later.
 In the Tenth district also Joseph Tone, organizer of the Machinists, is a candidate for the senatorship, the nomination in this district being nor mally equivalent to election. Fitted against him is Patrick $. Cunning ham, an employing printer but also a friend of Labor. In the Eighth and Ninth districts no candidates have SO far developed to a point as to list their feelings but after the primary call tonight it is expected they will be out galore and Labor have a chance to show it's support of its friends
