A MARKED YOUTH

It seems that John Coolidge can
do nothing without attracting public
attention. Perhaps he is accustomed
to 1t by this time and perhaps he
isn't. The fact that he began work
with the New Haven railroad and
on the first day of his employment
was ten minutes early will be dis
cusaed by people throughout the
length of the land. Resourceful en-
ployers will hold him up as shin
ing example of punctuality.
1t will have been noted that the
day before John went to work he
motored from Plainville to New
Haven to take look at the vel
low building in which he will begin
carving his future. That shows COM
n1endab,. caution which he evident
IL got from his dad He was taking
no chances on being compelled to
look for the building on the day of
his arrival vast" precious time in
finding it, and then show up ten
minutes late instead of ten minutes
early.

NOT ALL THEY WANTED

Realization OF broadcaSting sta
tons by the Federal Radio Commits
sion under the Davis amendment to
the radio law cannot be regarded as
a perfect disposal of ana intricate
problem. Least Of all is it pleasing to
~ army of broadcasters who wanted
j.. ore than they got. The many part
time stations which have been
manufactured through this latest
activity OF the commission and the
placing of some important trans
continental stations on the same
wavelength, will in many instances
balance the increases OF power per-
mitted.
Without going. into the subject in
great detail one needs to 60 no
further than the Hartford station.
VITO. although granted 5000 watts
power and possibly more, is placed
on exactly the same wave length
as VIDAL. another 5000 watt sta
ton, In Baltimore. And they are or
dered to divide their time.
If VIDAL were as inconspicuous a
broadcasting station as WCAC at
Storrs, Conn.,, which has been sub
tracing a half hour and sometimes
an hour from WTlCs time three
times a week. the realignment would
mean little. But VIDAL is owned by
the Consolidated Gas & Electric Co.
of Baltimore and is considered quite
a station. 1t has had 5000 watts all
along, compared with 500 by VITO.
The question after November II will
be, how will the two stations. VITO
and VIDAL. each of equal power and
each owned by proud and powerful
concerns. divide that precious time?
with VITO and then hearing voice
exclaim, Ladies and gentlemen. this
station now -discontinuas for the re-
mainder of the evening while VIDAL
transmits on this same wavelength 2"
Or Just how will they rig up a
scheme? Some system. it is said, will
have to be arranged between the
two stations. If heated brows could
raise the watts, the wattage would
so up over night.

Vance, 1t,:4O. New Britain gave
Fem S.O2l; Vance. s,42i.

Vance, ll,:%o. New Britain gave
Fem S.Oa1: Vance. s.424.
In 1895 the county or district vote
for Fem was 4s.05%: for Calnen.
e4.777. Hartford gave Fem 1896;
Cainen 12.1oe New Britain gave
Fem 6.S55; Cainen. 2.95s.
From these figures one gets the
impression that the Democratic
candidates have an unusually hard
row to hoe in this district during
normal years. Democrats, of course,
hinge their belief upon an improved
opportunity now upon the suppose
ton that this is not a normal year.
Al Smith at the head OF the ticket,
they believe, will make difference.
Continuing the analysis we find:
In 1920 Fem got 24,153 votes out
side of Hartford and New Britain:
that Dutton got 12,424 votes outsides
the two cities. Majority, l1,729.
In 1922 Fem got 1880 votes out
side the two cities; that button got
1s,4ss votes outside the two cities.
Majority, 6.o33,
In 1924 Fem got 29,s2S votes out
side the two cities: that Vance got
1851 votes outside the two cities.
Majority, 1881.
In 1926 Fem got 23,162 votes out
side the two cities; that Calnen got
1917 votes outside the two cities.
Majority, 12,446.
From this one gets the impression
that the Democratic candidate would
have to roll up a tidy majority in
Hartford and New Britain to out
weigh the Republican majorities in
the remainder of the county. AL
Smith sentiment is said to be strong
in Bristol. and that may help
If New Britain gives the Demo-
Gratis 1000 majority. and Hartford
gives them 1000 majority. there is
chance OF licking Fem on the basis
of his 1922 vote, which was he
worst year. And there is the likeli-
hood, too, that 1928 will be an even
worse year, considered from all
angles than 1922
Our opinion is there is a fighting
chance to defeat Fem: a better
chance than ever came to the Demo-
Gratis of the district since his first
joust at the polls in 1920.

SHE SHOWED HER GARTER.

By Albert Il. De>oe
Allen took his girl friend Georgia
for a ride away out in the open
spaces.
AS soon as they got off the
main highway the car had con-
vulsion, sobbed spasmodicaily, and
died. 1t WAS the latest model car.
Allen and Georgia decided that
they needed some refreshments.
Rummaging through the car they
found half a case OF something wet.
They had a neck of time.
Allen absorbed the refreshments
like he was the toad that had been
buried for 81 years. Georgia slipped
few guzzlcs on her own account.
In other words the refreshments
we're charged. Later Georgia wax
sitting on enc SIDE Of the road.
Allen was on the other side OF the
road!
Suddenly snake wrapped itself
around one of Gcorgia's shapely
limbs. Georgia came out of her rev.

But it wasn't garter snake. 1t

Georgia! 1t was too big bite for
the snake. He coiled up and died.
The snake medicine Georgia had
been drinking was too much for the
snake.
Before expiring the snake ratified

the car. So Georgia and Allen drove
beck to town. They became en-
gagged! Had not Allen saved her
life?

RATHER UNFAIR

! State Senator Frederic {. Walcott
in making an address in this city,
used rather unfair means to refer
to AL Smith and Tammany, although
he did not mention either by name.
That, of course, was not necessary.
as all his listeners knew to what he
referred.
The state senator said the Demo-
cratic candidate was connected with
corrupt organization. although he
made it plain he had no allegations
of corruption to make against the
Democratic candidate as an indi-
vidual.
Just when does political ma
chine become corrupt? Or are all
political machines naturally corrupt?
1t is hard to answer either question.
especially if proof is required.
Is Tammany. a Democratic insti-
tuition, any more corrupt than the
Ware machine in Philadelphia. a
Republican organization Is it any
more corrupt than the Thompson
Republican machine in Chicago? Is
it any more corrupt than the Mellon
Republican machine in Pittsburgh :?
Is it any more corrupt than the Cox
Republican machine was in Gin
cnnati?
there undoubtedly are more corrupt
Republican machines in the country
than Democratic organizations Of
similar breed: and these corrupt
Republican machines, many OF them
dripping wet in sentiment, are assist
ing Hoover in the present campaign.
Their aid. OF course, has not been
spurned. The help OF the rotten Ware
machine in Philadelphia and the
whiskey crowd in Pittsburgh is just
as welcome to the grand old party
as the help OF local political club
anywhere in the country.
1t is unfair. then. for Senator
Walcott or any other speilbinder to
emphasize the Tamnrany machine in
this campaign. A due regard for the
frailness OF glass houses should be
u sufficient deterrent.
Returning to Smith and Tammany,
here is what Frank X. Kent, famed
political writer notes In his book,
"The Great Game of Politics."
often in states and cities there
develop men OF complete independ-
ence, high character, and ability with
political aspirations, whose strength
with the people is such as to COM
pei the machine to fall in line be-
hind them. without pledge, promise.
or persuasion. Such was the case in
1922 in New York, when the Tam
many organization started out to
make William Randolph Hearst its
gubernatorial candidate and was
forced to take Governor Alfred T..
Smith. And it was the personal
strength and public record of Gov
error Nathan l.. Miller in 1920 that
put him over with the Republican
regardless OF its personal
feelings. 50
