Number Decreases
The report disclosed that although in
October. 1922. hire were 100 news
papers operating broadcasting stations,
the number since had fallen to 45. This

nation of smaller, local broadcasting
units

BOGTE MAN STRATEGY IN NATIONAL ELECTIONS

William Hard. political writer, discourses a new analysis Of the recent presidential election. He says all three parties tried to scare the electorate to death.
 La Toilette. he says, tried to scare folks by telling them their faces were being ground to shreds on the economic millstone. The Demo- crats, he says, tried to scare the dear people into thinking If the Re- publicans were elected the stones in the Washington monument would be, sold for a song to pave the private roadways Of favored friends.
 Coolidge according to Hard was the best scarer of them all, He and his organization scared millions of voters into feeling that the consti- tuition was In danger and that the only way to save 1t was to vote the Republican ticket.
 We do not yet know what the re- spective scares will be when Con- necticut votes for a new senator in December, and as yet we are not greatly scared at the prospects.

COUNCILMAN KARPINSKI MAKES GOOD START

Councilman Stanley Karpinski ot the fifth ward one of the younger members Of the Common Council and one of the upstanding repre- sentatives of the Polish race in New Britain hit the bulls eye at the last meeting Of that body when he demanded that the board Of pub lie works be Instructed to force the Connecticut Light and Power com- pany 10 erect the lights on certain streets that have been ordered by the city.
 It happens that Councilman Kar- pinski is a Republican; and the light and power institution as everyone knows or should know has for a vice-presdent J. Henry Roraback chairman Of the state central committee and a member of the national corhmittee of the party. J. Henry is really what is known as the big political dodo" in the power company.
 The ukase ot. J. Henry is law in the Connecticut G. o. P, including the ramihcations of the party in New Britain as well as the state. The action of Councilman Karpln- ski, therefore, in challenging the slow-g going methods of the company with reference to the lights created consternation and surprise among his party confreres in the council and in the city. Karpinski discussed the light situation for several min utes and made it plain he and the other fifth warders are greatly dis pleased over conditions.
 Attacks on the c. L. & P, here tofore have been carefully avoided by Republicans in the Common Council, especially by the members who consider themselves under the thumbscrew Of the organization.
 Councilman Karpinski is to be congratulated for his independence The power company since that time . has erected new lights on some streets and it IS being surmised that Councilman karpinski's criticism will have a good effect.
