 Sinley Association of Connecticut to hold it's 1926 meeting in this city, leading New Britain republicans have already made plans to push through this program when they at- tend the 1925 dinner at the Hotel Garde, New Haven. on February '. They have gone so far as to consult Manager Baker of the Burritt hotel regarding accommodations and have been assured that all who can at- tend will be seated. If the meeting Is held in this city. the banquet will be the largest in the history of the hotel.
 New Britain has always been &C., lively identified with the Mckinley Association, which regards the Hard ware City as one of the impregnable lstrongholds of the republican party. Whenever and wherever the associa- ton meets, New Britain is always represented. At one of the dinners recently New Britain had the largest single delegation present, with the exception of the city where the diu- ner was held. VT

 "Id love to be United States senator's stenographer," one said. , Tt must be soft snap. Just think, 8 senator gets s1o,000 a year. Imagine working for a man who gets that salary. I'll bet the senators treat their clerks right" "Yes. but imagine working for the president" replied the other He gets $250.ooo year and has nothing to do but sign bills the su- preme court passes and speak on Fourth of July in the town where he was born"
 Gee, it must be great to work in Washington" hestirst girl resumed. ) Tt must be fun to be a senator and live in the White House. That sure must be some building. Imagine, a ; senator from every city i'll the l United States and they all live in one building. I think they call it the
 Senate Wing of the White House } or something like that" , After half mile of this the Ob- } server was ready to write to the 3 board of finance and taxation to strike out all appropriations for tht board of education next year on tn l ground that money spent in th' , schools was wasted.
