STATE DEMOCRATS
AND SMITH

The time for political love feast
ing having arrived. the Democrats
began with a harmony gathering in
New Haven, at which event reso-
luton was adopted calling on the
state convention 10 elect delegates
favoring the presidential candidacy
of Governor Alfred E. Smith of
New York.
The Democrats of the state know
where their bread is buttered. With
"AI' running for president the
chances are the Democratic party
in Connecticut will be on, the up
grade. Whether.it will reach a sum-
nit of some kind is not within the
ken, Of. human understanding; but
it Will be on a wider road than the
COW path it has been travelling for
some time past.
The warm feeling toward. Smith
throughout, the state can be gagged
by. the facility with which Demo-
cratic candidates will make their
appearance on the. political horizon
should the presidential candidate be
the. New, York governor. The Re
publican candidates have been tying
themselves to national Republican
kites for years; If Smith is nom
mated the Democrats of the state
will also get an opportunity to feel
cheerful at the prospect Of being
hooked up with "a .vinner-or at
least one who looks Ikea winner.
Nutmeg Democrats have been in
the dolorous position of being forced
TO draft candidates for the higher
offices. Contests for the superior
nominations have been of the after
YOU, Alphonse," variety. Let Smith
be the presidential nominee, how
ever, and watch the boys fall in
line; it will be a veritable struggle
for the honor of running with the
New York political wizard. and
hope Will be as high as the hills.
There is prime reason, indeed, for

Colony the first cattle were brought

@. What is meant by the paradox
OF Achilles and the Tortoise?
A. 1t is the famous paradox pro.
| pounded by Zeno. In race,
Achilles, who can run ten times as
fast as the tortoise, gives the latter
hundred yards start. but it is i'm.
! possible for him to overtake the tor
toise and win the race: for while he
runs the first hundred yards, the
tortoise runs ten, while Achilles runs
that ten the tortoise runs one
further and so on indefinitely. The
fallacy rests in the use OF space
travelled instead Of in time for
covering the distances. No prob
lem in mathematics can be solved

formulas are used.
