In the coming presidential election
the radio will have more influence
than the newspapers, and so will
the movies, claims William A..
Brady, the theatrical man. That's
easy to say. The main political bat
tlefield, as usual, will be the news
paper page.
Radio, however, probably will
have its first big political inning in
the coming campaign. Candidates
Blah and Hokum will broadcast 10
millions. Better get a neutrodyne
SO you can tune them out if you
want to- As for the movies, if they
surrender TO political propaganda
they'll merely be sticking another
knife in themselves. A fine chance
for the censors to help their own
political parties.

Our Daily Poem
THINK 1T OVER
Dave c. Burkhalter.

Life is but hunt for money
Winning this or losing that,
We should wear a smile that sunny.
Though our luck has left us flat.
Frowns were never known to ease us
In our daily quest for fame,
AND if things don't go to please us
We have but ourselves to blame.
For life is but what We make it;
Opportunities at hand,
When occasion offers take it
Make the most of it we can.
We should brace up and be plucEy
When our luck begins to fall
Just remember we are lucky
To be living, after all.

 Officer Is Hailed
 Discovery of the smuggling was inadvertent. Sergeant John Kirvey of the Rye police, motoring howe ward on lonely road at o'clock, was startled by hail, 'Is every thing all right?" was the query, to which the ready-witted officer re- piled: Sure, everything's fine" Then he continued down the road bit, parked his car and stealthily re- turned to the scene, an abandoned wharf on the grounds of the Vest chester Country club.
 Saw Whole Thing
 He saw men unloading cases of liquor from small boats onto the wharf while others shifted the cases to motor trucks. A string of small boats, their oarlocks muffled, was plying between the wharf and small, unlighted vessel in the Sound In the dim light Kirvey saw the out line Of a deck highly piled with cases which were being loaded into the small boats that moved between the craft and the shore.
 Made No Resistance

When they returned to the wharf the rum run ner had gone, but six heavily loaded trucks. with three men on each. re- The IS, all unarmed. made no resistance when they were brought to Rye jail.

WRECK BLOCKS TRACKS
 NEAR CLAYTON BRIDGE
Cars and Merchandise Piled High Along Right
 of Way

Nine freight cars were wrecked several beyond repair, shortly after [ o'clock last evening at a point q short distance east of the Clayton bridge, when a broken wheel threw one of the cars off the track causing others to pile up in the rear.
 The damage to the cars alone runs into thousands of dollars, the exact amount not having been determined, and there Is also heavy loss to tRe goods in transit, three cars of which were automobiles.
 It was one of the most serious wrecks 'the New Haven" road has experienced in years. Shortly after ! it occurred there were hundreds of people gathered around as specta- tors and a detachment of railroad police was detailed to guard the merchandise thrown out of the freight cars. The wreckage was so strewn about that for several hours, train traffic in either direction was tied up. It was found necessary to route New Britain Hartford trains by way of Berlin. This system was in operation until early this morning when the tracks were cleared.
 Gangs of railroad workers are still engaged in removing wreckage. Several wooden freight cars were tossed into nearby lots and are conn., pletely demolished. Some of the more substantial steel cars will he put in service again after extensive repairs have been made.
 The wrecked cars were attached to al fast freight operating between Maybrook Junction and Boston.
 Supt. J. J. SnaveIy of the, Water bury division took charge of the work of clearing tracks and ordered crews from Waterbury, Hartford and New Britain.
 There were no injuries to the train crew, although all sustained a shak- ing up and some were thrown vio- lently to. the floor when the car. left the rails.
 Today parts of freight cars were picked up for distance of quar- ter of mile. Some of the rails will be replaced today, having been twisted out of shape.
 A telegraph pole was knocked to the ground and wire breaks resulted. leaving the New Britain, PlainviIle and Bristol stations without illum- nation for several hours.
