THE GABB AND DEWEY
 CAMPAIGN

Local delegates to the Demo- cratic county convention will vote as a unit. and 1t can be stated without much fear Of contradiction that they will vote for George II. Gabb, former sheriff, to run against Edward w. Dewey.
 The contest between Gabb and Dewey will be the most interesting event in the county when the cleo ton takes place. It will be more interesting than the struggle for congress - If there is to be such struggle.
 Gabb has q better chance of be- ing elected than any other Demo- crat for several good reasons: His popularity, his probity, his experi- ence, and the fact a large follow ing of Republicans prefer him over Dewey.
 The Democrats Of the county, with the help of the Republicans favoring Gabb, can make it very hot for Dewey

Republicans of New York are meeting today in convention as sembled and it looks like Mills for governor - dry as finder ogden L. Mills, at present representative in. Congress. He will make a fine running mate for Wadsworth - wet asa -cloudburst James w. Wadsworth, |. s. senator.
 Mills will be running against Al Smith; twill be at least an honor.
 The proper candidate for the New York grand old party would have been Nicholas Murray Butler for governor but the educator, though good speechmaker and announcer of what the nation needs, is poor politician - at least, when being practical poli- tician means running against Al Smith.
 The Democrats Of the Empire state are also meeting in conven- tion assembled. with Governor Smith in complete control of the situation. Nothing more need be said.

ROAD POLICY IN CONNECTICUT

It is stated that Connecticut is nearly the only state in the Union which is paying for it's road i'm provements on the pay as you go' plan. This plan Is one of the pet blanks In the Republican organiza- ton and is held up as guide and model to other states.
 But either the other states are all wrong, and Connecticut Is right; or Connecticut Is wrong and the other states are right.
 Just at present the highway commissioner of the state is charged with not building high ways fast enough to take care of the demand We have no hesita- ton In saying the charge is we'll founded.
 It Is an old charge, too. It dates from 1910 or whereabouts. If the automobile vote could be organ ized 1t would see to it that a change in tactics were effected.
 But the trouble with the auto mobile vote Is, most of 1t is al- ready voting for Commissioner MacDonald's party, does so as a matter of course. habit and GUS tom, and no doubt fears there would be no roads at all If MT MacDonald's party were not run ming things.
 It Is easy for state to boas Of having no debt if no road bondi are issued. But nobody hears an, boasts about not having enougl l good roads to take care of thu traffic. That evidently Is a differen matter entirely.
 The state is doing so poor in it, road department that If it keep | up an uproar is sure to result. Tn states dilatory road policy is it weakest point.

CIVIL SERVICE DRY AGENTS
said.

A bit of dry news has to do with split In the government dry forces In regard to the adoption of a civil service rule for the govern ment's enforcement clerks-or off, cers. Brig. Gen. Lincoln C. An drews, head of the enforcement bureau, Is opposed, while Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti Saloon League, strongly favors the scheme. The latter says that when the bill comes up In the Sen ate 1t will pass by 8 2 to 1 ma jority. If that should prove true it would perhaps mean better en- forcement," if what Wheeler says Is correct, the idea being that civil service would provide prohi- bition agents who are not the creatures of politics.
 As President Coolidge has rec commended civil service for prohi- bition agents it would appear there is much to the probability Congress will go this far, especial iy If the help of numerous south ern Democrats is forthcoming.
 The idea won't be popular in Connecticut, where civil service has been ditched in state affairs But prohibition agents do not operate under the, slogan, ''to the victor belong the spells" That would make of the job too much Of a good thing.
 Let them put the dry agents un. der civil service, so long as it won interfere with the activities of thu state police in chasing rum run ners.

BACKBONE OF AUTO

The "saturation point" in the automobile industry has not been reached, and 1t looks as if it will never be located.
 Conditions now are that with 20.- 100000 automobiles in use, the annual defections to the junk piles is quite enough to keep the fac tories at least fairly busy
 Besides, the increase of cars in use annually has been a million.
 When the talk about the satura- ton point started the modern in- stalment sales idea had not yet been fully developed.
 Now there is 1,50O,ooO,00o in automobile paper floating around at all times. Two-thirds of the ma chimes sold are on the "easy pay ment plan"

SENATOR BU1TER'S
 CAMPAIGN

Senator Butler of MassaIhusetts is having a style of campaign mapped out for him that reminds one of the chameleon and Jacobs coat of many colors.
 The main grand old party selling point just now is prosperity and the tariff. especially prosperity.
 Statistics show that Massachu- setts is not long on prosperity in two of its leading industries. tex tiles and shoe manufacture. The tariff doesn't seem to have done them much good,
 Probably the chief reason is the young ladies do not wear enough textiles to keep the factories go- ing; and there is so much automo- bile riding that shoe leather is be- ing saved. But it is impossible to convince the textile and shoe workers that these things are to blame. They have been trained and coached to regard the tariff as the great father of all that is good, and when the good is lacking, something must be wrong some where
 Consequently Senator Butler, close friend of Coolidge and a ma tional grand party mogul, Is hard put to explain things. What about forgetting about prosperity and the tariff in Massa- chusetts and concentrating upon the need of standing by Cool idge."
 Any port in a storm. This ought to be good one.
