TIE OBSER VER- Makes Random Observations
 On the City and Its People

!amin w filling occupies the center of the stage. Republican voters will go to the primaries on September and express their preference. It is generally assumed that All ing has the republican organization behind him. William H. Judd is managing his campaign and MT. Judd is recognized as the voice at the microphone. Rumors that Woods would withdraw from the race apparently have been ground less, Whether the rumor was propaganda circulated by some of filings supporters it is impossible to say. At any rate. the Woods backbone seemed reasonably stiff this week
 Both factions are reported to be !,l search of every possible vote. On the surface, are pre-prlmary cam paign has been placid. But under heath, the waters have been in q tate of whirlpool Woods is report cd to have received the voluntary support Of several influential citi- 1cns, In spite of the fact that All ing has the organization leaders with him, the prosecuting attorney is reported confident.
 AS result of the strenuous work being put in by both groups, it is expected that the vote at the party primary next Thursday will bring out q heavy vote With time becom- ing important, both factions will put on more steam Monday to make a garrison finish before the ballots are put in the boxes.

Old Guard Face to Face With Political Crisis

The Old Guard dies but never surrcnders."
 These words are engraved on a monument erected 10 the memory of Canbronne at Nantes.
 It remains to be seen what the | Old Guard Of New Britain intends 70 do about Mayor Quigley's challenge expressed through his placing of candidates in the field of election as | delegates to the county. state and congressional conventions.
 This is callenge, Nothing less.
 From time immemorial, the Old | Guard has done the selecting in it's own time and after it's own manner. New Britain has always sent a hand picked elegation-hand picked by the Old Guard-to conventions. They were chosen because they were known 10 be right" They had ears 2ttuned to the desires of the pick CTS. the men who ran the repub- lican party and they did as they were told. Before any convention New Britain vas always safe" for candidates whose interests were 2ligned with those of the Old Guard lt isn't necessary to name names. Everyone who has followed New Britain politics knows who they arc and who they have been.
 Enter Mayor Quigley with the laurel wreaths Of victory last spring set at a cocky angle on his broad brow. Through his selection of con- vcntlon states he serves notice that he intends to show who is boss around here, or words to that effect Let others pick their own slates - Qulelcy has lined up his candidates and the republican party can take them or leave them. If they take them. the Old Guard surrenders 1T they leave them the Old Guard may die on the field of ballots
 Although Mayor Quigley has often been in a position to dictate to the Old Guard. his powers have been cphcmeral Victorious II s>lrmishcs. he did not strike his first major blow until last spring when he hu inflated the republican organization q the primary and won q crushing personal victory over his democratic rival at the polls. With the wine of conquest in his blood, 1t is obvious that he intends 10 do the dictating from now on if there's any dictating to be done. Hes the political Ma poleon. or believes he is. and he writes his terms Of peace with the point Of a sword.
 In view Of Mayor Quigley's cleo ton by the largest plurality ever given candidate for mayor in this city, It Is not surprising that he wants to set up a dictatorship. | Someone has told him that Oppor- tunity is knocking on the door and he intends to invite Opportunity 10 come in and have the best seat in the parlor.
 For a moment. the Old Guard . must be perspiring, a situation with | which 1t is unfamiliar. Wonder ! whether it will surrender or go down i fighting, hoping for resurrection ] at some future date.

Newcomer to City Finds Highways Rich With Peril

Let's take little ride around and get acquainted with the streets of New Britain" suggested the bet ter half of the family.
 So the old fivver was harnessed up, the bit put between it's teeth and then with a "Giddap. Lizzie" the l family started off. about Is minutes before sundown on Thursday eve- ming.
 The route was north on Arch street, through the business section. out East Main street to Stanley street. south to South Main, then north on Main street, to Monroe Monroe street, to Arch and home. and by the time home was reached the hair was all curley on each | head, and the nerves were jumping like Mexican beans in the hot sun.
 At Arch and Grand streets a group of young fellows came tearing along, out of Grand street. swinging al- i most over to the curb and cutting in ahead of the family flivver so closely that the brakes smoked on the flivver for three blocks. Did the boys mind this narrow squeak? Not at all. They laughed at the narrow escape, and speeded up to reach the green light at Wal nut street before it turned red.
 The next thrill came at East Main and Stanley streetsS Two women in a f1ivver sedan came tearing down Stanley street at a rate of speed that Henry Ford never dreamed could be possible for his cars. and by swerV- ing into the curb. the family fliv- yer was saved Did the women stop to see if any damage had been done? Not at all. They just stuck chins out, looked straight ahead and kept digging at 50 miles an hour. Ant they looked dignified and re- spectacle but any woman who does not blow horn when passing an intersecting street at 50 miles an hour, is not respectable, that is, as a driver.
 Then came the big thrill on Stan- ley street, near Park street.
 Driving at 10 miles an hour across Park street and blowing the horn at the same time resulted in a light delivery truck crossing through Park street at high rate of speed, no horn blowing and no lights lit. It was dusk by then and every car had parking or dinner lights on. The family flivver came to a dead stop, otherwise the flivver would have been smashed to bits. Then touring car with five young men passed on the right side instead of the left, and then two cars came around the corner of Stanley street. from the south into the west side of Park street, thus blocking the fivver worse than ever.
 Finally the flivver was again started. but by then the hair on the head of the driver and his better half was standing straight up.
 In more than 45,OOG miles of driv- ing in every town and city in Con- necticut, the driver has never seen so many instances of reckless and foolish driving as was seen Thurs day night. Only the best of luck and careful driving prevented being smashed three times.

 I even thought up q sign for my door-"The master is Thinking g''-- to keep Mickey Noilans and the like away. Tn few weeks it has become as exclusive as the Grand Central waiting room. This morning two nit wits spent an hour holding my best cane at arms length to jump through.
 Only yesterday an editor whom l desire 10 impress dropped in unan- nounced. :. At the moment I was on my back on the floor with legs in the air trying to balance q fright cned puppy on soles of my housa slippers like an acrobat did at the Palace the other week,
 The visitor discussed inconsequ-n- tials. coughed politely behind his hand and departed somewhat in confusion. I wouldn't click with him anyway, Gazing up at him from the floor I noticed he wore both sus- penders and a belt Anyone that precise would cry over split infni- lives.
 In other offices visitors telephone for an appointment. Even then they have to cool heels awhile in an outer office. But when they visit me they are likely-in fact they have-to come on in the bathroom when ] a m in midst of a shower.
