THAT APPOINTMENT

htli. olu lans r ate seems lnteul
 upon keeping that enticing jade, poli- fice, before us. Simply can't get away from it. We knew, of course. that there was good reason why the repub- iican organization in the city should make every effort to make up this year; Presidential year, you know. But not until today did there appear the full reason for all this actiyity-but Of course we may be quite wrong about 1t after all
 Anyway here's the situation Our friend George K, of whom VIC spoke day before yesterday. was slated for the appointment to the United States district attorneyship. J. Henry was back of him, and that surely seemed enough. But along comes Mir. Aleorn, pushed by or accompanying q group of people who objected to said George. and throws the much used monkey wrench into the machinery.
 Our correspondent down in Wash ington says ATr. Rorabaek will not desert our George and that our sena- tors can't find anyone that ]. Henry will approve of so they do not recom- mend anyone. The si,5e0 job is left vacant for over yoar-think of all that good money someone might have have been getting. if not earning.
 Well, this situation just can't last, that's all there is to if. No one ever board Of such Il plum remaining on the tree until il rots There would be general havoc in the ranks Of the workers ig someone. at feast. were not rewarded with this nice, juicy plum. Whats to be done? Why" says Henry, or words to that effect, my man will prove his worth. He'll do so much for the party that you can't fail 10 give him tho job hc expected and which l promised to try to get for him. That's what my man will do. Or perhaps the inspiration came to our George right out of his own clever head. "T'll show them how useful I Hm 10 inc party" he murmurs as he stops thinking for moment Of the long drives al golf he expects to make this summer. "i'll get q republican in ns mayor of New Britain. that's what III do. Then lot them dare 10 keep this i appointment away from me-"
 Probably wc are quite wrong. Prob | ably George K. was inspired by un- l selfish love for his city 10 persuade | Judge Alling 10 run for the mayoralty. | Anyway it's likely Ii was he who did persuade his law partner to ro through this not always pleasant ex- perience, after considerable Of 3 mess had been made Of 1t. Probably George never thought of any reward al all. Rewards. and politics--the idea. Al any rate were snch lining to happen as q republican, Judge Allina, to br elected mayor of New Britain. if would be a fair bet that George K. would receive the appointment 10 the United States district attorneyship.
 It is unfortunate but true that many people misunderstood tho intentions Of the writer 0r the most innocent words, For this rraspn it IS always best to explain fuiy that no insiuua- tions are intended. One does not bn- Iieve that Judge Klett was inspired 10 work so hard thls year to help ttraightcn out the tnottor oC the ma yoraity candidate merely hoping for the appointment as q reward for clever work All that is suggested is that he wiil be fuitc likely to get tho appointment # Judge AiHng is elected --and we stiU lafirre he viii not be. mucfi as we like him.
