Third Ward Club Outing To Wear Bright SnangIeS

Although political outings of the New Britain Third Ward club and a New London republican organiza- tion occur within four days of each other in September and friendly rivalry is certain to exist, it is not expected that the barbecue of the local organization will suffer from want of star attractions
 For many years, due partly to the enthusiasm of the late George W. klett, the New Britain Third Ward clubs outings have been the three ring events of the state republican organization. About a certain cafe plaza in Paris is has been said that, if you sit there long enough, every one of any consequence in the world will eventually drift by In lesser measure, if you attend Third Ward club outings faithfully you will see there nearly every luminary of the republican party in Connecticut and many others whose lustre is largely a figment of the verdant imagina- tions
 This years barbecue will, without doubt, be attended by the G. o. P. candidate for governor who will be nominated at the state convention few days previously. Whether it will be Governor John H. Trumbull of Plainville or Lieutenant Governor Ernest F.. Rogers of New London, it is impossible to predict, Friends of Rogers, and he does not lack for friends in this city have been eX- pecting for several months to see him nominated. It is not known whether he will be a candidate in case Governor Trumbull decides to have another fling at the office.
 Governor Trumbull has emulated his famous relative-in-law, former President Calvin Coolidge. in being decidedly cryptic in reply to report CTS questions concerning his politi- cal future. He has said, it is re- ported, that he has no ambition" to be candidate again and that he has TO desire" to carry the party's banner further in the par ade. Which puts his words in the same class as Coolidge's famous "I do not choose to run" The gover- nor has not replied with any defi- niteness and he has not closed the door to a renomination.
 One reason why republican leaders may attend the outing in force is the fact that dissatisfaction with G. o. P. government has been express cd by the rank and file in New Brit ain. During the presidential cam paign, republican leaders urged the masses to vote the republican ticket and. thereby, assure themselves of plenty of work, good wages and a full dinner pail. And see what hap pened. The law of supply and de- mand and several other economic laws stepped in just when the G. o. P. was shaking hands with it. self over its sweeping victory and gave 1t a sock on the jaw which has 1t on the canvas right now, hop ing that it will be able to rise again before the referee. who is the en- bodiment of the American working man, can count the fatal ten. There fore, the republican machine will be required to put on a full head of steam in New Britain if it hopes to keep this city in the party column next November. And the usual pro- Cedure is to have the 'EVerything's Going to be All Right" boys at the Third Ward club outing with a fund of optimism and pats on the back.
 A place of honor will be reserved at the guest table for Governor Trumbull or Lieutenant Governor Rogers, but Prof, Levitt will not be there, and you may lay to that, my hearties.
