OSCAR COLLINS
WILL RUN FOR
STATE SENATE
Police Chief Declares Taylor Is
AS Good AS Dead But Does Not
Know 1t. Believes Madsem Can
Have .Shrievalty Job for Asking.

Oscar Collins, chief of DO
lice and several other things,
In an exclusive interview to
The Producers News today de-
clared that he was in the fight
for the senatorship against
Charles Taylor and DIR. J. C.
Storkan.
Taylor is dead but doesn't
know it." Oscar said, land as
for Storkan the less said
about him the better as a poll
tician. AS a surgeon he can
hold his own with any of
them"
When asked what was Os-
cars program, the police
chief was wary and refused to
be quoted. He wanted to
have it understood, however,
that while he was not as good
a speaker as Taylor he was a
much better chief of police.
II am in favor of light
wines and beers, democratic
ally administrated and COM
munistically guzzled," Oscar
I said, dropping the ashes from
his Havana into the gutter.
81 am opposed to Dick Smith
ism in politics which means
that l am against the individ-
ual drinker. Down with him.
IF l don't lick Charlie Tay-
Tor, I'll at least have the sat-
isfaction of being licked by
him." Oscar said as he lit a
fresh cigar.
Back of Oscar are Horse
Thief" Kelly; Jack Bennett,
L. j. Onstad and Burley Bow
Ter. Oscar is confident that
he will either win or lose.
Oscar had intended to run
for sheriff against Madsen,
but Hans has endeared himself
to the community by doing
nothing that would hurt any
: body's feelings so Oscar felt
it would be waste of time for
: him to run against Hans. Fur
thermore Oscar is Irish-tho
away back-and even tho he
sometimes pretends that he
has Viking blood in his veins
: the Norwegians don't believe
him and Hans Rasmussen is
: carrying on a terrific cam
paign against him in Dagmar.
"Let Hans Madsen have the
: sheriff's office" says Oscar,
: "I'll beat Taylor and square
: off a lot of debts that we owe
+ each other.p
: Mr.. Collins admitted that
+ one o the planks in his plat

"Ted Winters is good

AS THE HEART PANTS

The recent letter O. William II Slayton, chairman Of the board Of the Association Against the Prohibt. ton Amendment. that President Hoover B not dry at heart. but has posed as an ardent dry for political reasons only, closely followed previous statement that MT. Hoover is beginning 10 doubt the efficiency and destrability or the prohibition laws.
 Thcsc claims may merely be an afrorr to smoke out the President on the prohibition question by forcing hm to make a definite statement. r so f IS not likely to succeed. The President once took hls stand-dur- n2 luis 0ouncal campaisn--in favor ot the noble experiment." and it IS written m the cards that he viii let the matter rest for awhile.
 The President stands charged by Mir. Slayton, however, as having sought the reputation Of being an ardent dry because Of political req sons. The assumption IS that 1t was better, politic5ily. to be dry than wet Considering the extent Of his victory, one is led 10 the conclusion that the plan vas sound politica. practice.
 Yet one is confronted with the knowledge that on pure basis Of repeal modification or enforcement the drys have not anything like the majority they claimed to have had following the victory Of Mir Hoover The conclusion is unacceptable, then, that the presidential election for the most part vas fought on a party basis, with prohibition only incident ally at stak".

 Dear Sir:
 l would appreciate it. very much if you would allow me little space in the New Britain Herald on the sub ject of unemployment and the havoc it is causing.
 Things would be much better if everyone would think q little more seriously on the subject Of unem- ployment. As l see times are very severe. particularly concerning small businesses and the working cla ss Everyone should be loyal and take a part in helping each other. and not follow the saying Everyone for himself" And there l come 10 the point. There are many women work ing in factories, offices and holding government positions, and their husbands are also working. At such a critical time I believe only widows and nnisfortunate women should work. Now is not the time 10 say every one tIOT IllllSclI. Every one should help one another and see that the doctrine Love your neiehbcr as you love yourself' is carried out. This would decrease charity and vel fare associations. And would elimin- ate the embarrassment of having to say Tt IS too bad that such strong people should be out Of work" If VIC should cooperate and sec 10 elmin- ate this problem. ss our prophet Jesaia says "A person is honest when he owns his bread and butter by labor of his own hand" Let us try to practice that what we preach. We preach peace, with our tongues, but in our hands we hold arms.

 The country doctor began disap. bearing decades aso. Perhaps the au.omobllo has been g factor, per. mtuns he doctor from the city to visit -o4n,ry patients. But the tclc. phone, in placing the city doctor al Inc disposal Of his country cousin, has also been a factor.
 The rural church has been dlsap- pear,ns for decades because it has been unable to compete in attractive ness with the larger churches in the 'hc nearby towns. The automobile TO doubt has been a factor, but coun- t"v people were able to get to city churches even in the days ol horses and bugsicz.

THE STOCK SLUMP

The stock market is like ule weather vane, IL slumpcd on Friday and Saturday, but may 10 better to- day. { The stock sharps in Wall street, It is said, pride themselves upon the assumption that they know inside facts SIX months before anybody else. This seems to be q Nainr assumption. Stories Of wise stock traders-who must be numbered among those pos sosslng q prcscience or six months tearing their hair and wondering what t $ all about bellies the as- sumption that they know inside facts Stories Of wise stock tradors-who must he numbered among those pos six months before anybody else. tearing their hair and wondering what II Is all about, belies the as sumption that they knew enough 10 avoid their losses
 II IS clear as sunny spring weather that nothing but pools. the support Of interested corporations. and pro- fossIonaI bulls caused some of the issues 10 float upwards so rapidly after the crash during the latter part 0. 1929. No earning reports that ve have read seemed to justify the ad- vanccs made in some Of the issues since that time. IL was the early 1929 bull market all over again on small scale; and the same inevitable forces which punctured the balloon a. that time punctured the smaller one.
 Fundamental conditions remain exactly the same. For every stock unloadcd ac 4 lower figure there Was a buyer. The only thing that has changed IS the values Of sundry leaders. f the Washingtonian propaganda about an improved bus mess outlook Tas reliable last We'd nesday it must he equally reliable today although in the meantime there has been d stock recession. If the propaganda vas mere wind and therefore not reliable, it should never have been uttered by respon- slblc Administration.
 t IS quite astonishing, in fact, that just after the most pronounced prosperity statements for months the stock market should overlook them altogether and act as fl the reverse were true
 Somebody manifestly is far at sea. Secretary Lamont asked Governor Roosevelt to give his opinion about the prosperity outlook and must have been nonplused by the answer. The Governor frankly told the com- merco secretary that, so far as he could judge, unemployment condi- tions Tn New York were worse now than they were last January.
 Disagreeable as it is to come 10 the conclusion. it seems 10 us that what one thinks Of prosperity or the lack Of it depends largely upon ones politics: The Republicans us- ually say things are not as bad as they seem and that the outlook is very, very bright; while the Demo- crats, relisking the development Of | trade slowdown during d Republi- can administration, are prone to judge it to be even worse than the facts warrant.
