Big Boss Has Title and Salary and Clerks the Information

In the course of his remarks dur inC a political speech at the Grange hall in NeUington. Thursday night Prof. Albert Levitt of Bedding, the Crusading attorney who hopes to ride into the gubernatorial chamber at Hartford on an ti-Roraback wave in the republican party. made one statement which. while it was not regarded sufficiently important 10 chronicle in the news stories, was indeed an accurate observation. Prof. Levitt told of his numerous trips to the state capitol at Hartford and Of many unsuccessful attempts to meet state officials and depart ment heads, then added "Perhaps it's just as we'll that I didn't meet them because I have found that it is usually the deputy or the first clerk in the office who can give you the information, not the elected of- ficials or department heads"
 The condition which, according to Prof. Levitt obtains at the state apital is duplicated in every other
 
 very likely in the federal offices at Washington, Without consideration Of the vast amount Of detail that must be mastered before a person can properly fill his office, the voters do not hesitate to take an individual who has not had preliminary train ing in government finance and elect him 10 a responsible position. It hap pens in every city and state in the country. Persons unfamiliar with the work Of a state or city depart ment, but possessed of some pull" probably grounded on an ability to draw votes are placed at the head of branches Of the government. then forced to rely upon the work of subordinates 10 carry them through a successful administration.
 While elective officers change fre- quently, some of them bi-ennialy, it will always be found that there are or more clerks in the office, thor oughly familiar with the work, whose job goes on and on irrespec- tive of the turns of politics, for the simple reason that they are as near ly indispensable as humans can be- come. Public office is about the only big business in which the qualifications for the particular post do not seem to count for much. Prof. Levitt in his compilation of statistics for campaign use has had more than the ordinary opportunity to observe this condition. Newspaper men on political assignment are not likely to dispute his statement.

any attention to business. Instead of men boring over Gladstone or tonnes or biology, everyone seemed to be in the railways discussing some thing which I vaguely understood to be a game called golf There was heated discussion of terms known as stance, putting. nihlicks, ap- proach, hooks, slices and whatnot. The longer I finger, the more l am struck by the queer artics and words of men who apparently are profound arbiters or justice and au- thorities on the care of the human body. Several other men who, l was told, were, like myself, journalists. seemed to be as deeply infected by what is called the golf bug virus. was informed that it is most dangerous insect and that. once bitten. the victim never recovers.
 Everywhere I went large fac tories loomed about me. I inquired what the principal industry was Of hardware in these great brick hives occupies the attention and the time of the working classes. l had brilliant idea, as thought, and rushing to the office of a newspa- per, I breathlessly suggested that Hardware City of the World What was my surprise when the city editor, a person who, In my opinion, is lacking in both manners and intelligence, told me to be my age" and button up my lips" That slogan was thought of years ago." he curtly declared. And who. may I ask" I asked, thought of it before I did?" The city editor, hardly looking up from a cross word puzzle. answered: T forget the guys name, but l think it was Methuselah." On my way out I de- cded that the city editor was a nit wit or at least had his Bible history confused with some other world events, because how could Methuse- lah have thought of it when he lived lcng before New Britain became community? I decided that the c. e. was trying to be funny. Well. I don't think he was bit funny.
 As I remarked before, l always try to contact the masses to learn their reaction to problems of po- litical economy, etc. So I approach ed an unbusy native who was help ing a light pole on Main street to remain upright and. after borrow ing a match and then borrowing cigarette, inquired: Do you think the president will be able to relieve the drought situation?" He stared ar me with scorn in his eyes and answered.: Nav, I don't. Don't youse know the president says the law will be enforced just as long as it's on the books?'
 AS I sit typing this in my hotel I can hear two individuals !n the street shouting at each other "It was red,' It was green" Tt vas red" Tt was green" etc. An open air gambling game, no doubt.
 Well, the dog is snoring in the corner and that gives me a tip that it's time to go to ped

Quigley and Paonessa May Be

Qufgley and PaoneSsa May Be
 On Opposite Tickets Election Day
 Now, mesdames ct messieurs, the plot begins to coagulate.
 Mayor Quigley is being boomed for the nomination for lieutenant gover- nor on the republican ticket.
 Ex-Mayor Paonessa is open to the democratic nomination for congress man.
 A few weeks ago. it was predicted | that these two knights of politics would be found galloping against | each other with blades cleaning in the fight for congress. But apparent ly the pleasure of watching such a | joust has been denied the galleries At present. hope for such a battle is i dim but as politics is a strange past time, anything can happen before the candidates and the autumn winds begin 10 howl.
 The Quigley boom will depend to great extent on the choice of the republican party for governor. The incumbent. Governor Trumbull. has vet to make a statement regarding vague and has not made a point blank declaration that he will or will not run for reelection. Lieuten- ant Governor Rogers has guberna- torial aspirations and a legion of supporters who believe that Cover nor Trumbull has had his share and should gracefully retire. If both decide to aspire to the nominatioU, it will be a merry sight Here's an- other if the woods are always full of them prior 10 state elections if Trumbull is renominated a com- promise may be effected with a re- nomination for Rogers as lieutenant governor. In that case, Mayor Quig- leys chance would be thin.
 Should Quigley win the nomina- ton for lieutenant governor. it would stress the point that politics makes strange room mates, Not so long ago, if memory serves, Quigley championed the removal from au- thority of J. Henry Roraback as chairman of the republican state cen tral committee. He made several un- kind remarks about RorabaCk and was all for demanding that the con- vention make him walk the plank. Roraba is still on the job and it is not believed that he could see Quigley, as a candidate for state of flee, even with the use of the tele- scope at Mt. Wilson observatory.
 Confident that New Britain will respond to a democratic appeal for support. democracy believes that the nomination for congressman should come to this city. It has been, 10, these many years-Hector must have been a small pup at the time-since New Britain has had the democratic nomination for the Washington berth. In view of working condi- tions-if you could call them that? and Paonessa's widely known abil- ity to attract votes, democracy could make a more serious blunder than by naming him for the office. His years in the field of public ser vice and his popularity are two rec concentrations which the party chiefs should heed.
 Thus far, no murmer against Con- gressman Fenn has been heard on the republican side of the fence. He has two attributes which J. Henry always recognizes as being of stellar

THE STAGGFR LIGHT SYSTEM

The stagger light system has been tried and found O. K, in New York. It should be adopted everywhere.
 The stagger light system is one which. instead of having the red and green lights shining simultaneously throughout an entire thoroushfare. aHernatcs the red with the green, 90 that traffic can keep moving at q reasonable pace. Once a notorist sees q green light ahead Of him ht can keep moving with the knowl- edge that by the time he reaches the next light 1t also. will be green. and so on. Pedestrians have just as many opportunities to cross the streets as before.

Back to the Farms
Movement Reported
Raging In Yellowstone

Billings, Mont, May up
Yellowstone county's realtors firm
~ believe there is a shack to the
farm" movement underway in
southern Montana and northern
Wyoming.
Not since 1915 has there been
such activity in farm property
sales in this section of the state,
according to real estate surveys.
Carbon county farms, irrigated
sections Of Yellowstone county,
Big Horn county ranches and farm
tracts in northern Wyoming are
the scenes of the greatest buy and
sell activity.
Close observers have found a de-
finite reason for the business phe-
nomena. They deduce that the
present business recession has
placed jobs at premium in many
southern Montana communities
which, in turn. has induced Q
movement 'sback to the farm"
