STRAINS IN THE WIND.

:Southington, borough has gone democratic after sixteen persistent years of republican supremacy. Robert c. Simpson defeated the veteran Warden Dr Almond J. Cut ting by thirty-eight votes. Perhaps in some degree the incident re- fleets the ancient case of the pitcher which was taken too often to the well, but in connection with other events the Southingtcn change in political complexion seems to have significance for the. state.

Clinton Burn ham having. plurality of twenty one. Later, in special election to fill vacancy caused by the death of Mr Burnham, the democratic can- didate, Robert A. Burnham, his son, carried the day by 839 plurality.
 Afterward, Danbury leaped from the republican ranks and witnessed an overwhelming democratic victory. The fourth ward in New Britain, in a special election, notwithstanding it had never befare gone against the republicans in an "off year." was swept into the democratic camp. Now Southington has follow ed striking examples. These turn overs'' are the only means available of ascertaining the trend of senti- mnet, and much as the republicans may decry their relative paucity of

That innocent ten-day recess that the Legis- lature is planning this month. looms as just about what the Waterbury Democrat recently predicted of it. It will nullify any gubernaa torial vetoes of measures that the Legislature is trying to push through in the closing hours. of course the governor can veto the bills as soon as the Legislature reeesses. but when 1t reconvenes at the end of the month for the closing session the republican majorities will be able to pass the bills in question over. the governors veto. Just at present there aren't any controversial measures that would require such action, so the tactics may prove fruitless after all. However, the democrats might pay attention to the lesson in legislative conduct that they have received this year. Despite apparent losses in power the republicans have more than held their own. It may be their swan song as the outlook for 1852 seems to indicate democratic prosperity.

Aid At Last

Relief is at last promised for the Water bury Anti Tuberculosis League. Its efforts to make the Waterbury Isolation Hospital waiting station for tubereular patients seeking admission to state sanatoria may soon be re- warded. The state is about to shoulder share of this expense. as 1t properly should An appropriation of S20000 for the next two years is suggested by legislators. This amount would enable the local society to con- tinue maintenance of one wing of the hospital without interfering with its program of an- nual activities. all of which involve con- siderable expenditure.
 Ever since the General Assembly has been in session this year local Representatives and senators have been trying to interest the state in the idea of taking over the isolation hos pital. At one time it was suggested that the hospital might be easily transformed into sanatorium. but the difficulties are many. And. of course. 1t must be admitted that the loea- ton is not exactly suitable for tubercular patients requiring complete rest, proper diet. and constant attendance. Later suggestions | tHdt iHStitutiOH De SOHtIHueu dS waiting station under state maintenance were more favorably received.
 The Waterbury Anti Tuberculosis League has performed service that may never be fully appreciated. Those of us who have always enjoyed the best of health find it hard to picture the lot of the invalid particularly the man, woman or child stricken by that dread malady against which Connecticut not to mention every other state. is fighting with all the convenienees at its command This state has an enviabe record in its campaign agiinst tuberculosis. One requisite is hospitali- zation for advanced cases. There are five sanatoria operating in Connecticut. All of them have waiting lists which means that some unfortunates may suffer for long months before being assured of proper care and diet.
 By throwing open one wing of the isola- ton hospital the League has secured for those waiting admission fighting chance for recovery before the disease has reached crit cal stage. Proper care correct diet. and neces- ssry medical attention is given those who might not be able to obtain this in their own homes. Of eourse it is an expensive under taking and the League has been hard pressed to continue it. It has had to supplement its annual drive for funds with additional ones But it has carried on nobly. We sincerely hope that the state will interest itself to the extent of financing this humanitarian work that is going on at the isolation hospital.

The Olive Branch

Nothing is impossible in politics. For in- stance picture J. Henry Rorabaek endorsing the candidacy of Representative John Q. Iil- son for Speaker of the House to succeed the late Nicholas Longworth. Mir Tilson IS ac- lively in the race for the coveted honor and in December should be the logical man for the post. However. there seems to be an under current of feeling around this state that MT Tilson might not win out unless he secures plenty of support. Perhaps that explains why Mir Tilson himself has been rather To- quacious of recent weeks as regards his chances.
 Now Mir Roraback and Colonel Tilson are reported to have conferred and the former has agreed to lend whatever support he can mus ter. Three years ago at Kansas City apathy on the part of the state chairman of the repub- Iican party is said to have lost the vee-presi- dential nomination for Mir Tlson. That can be stated all the more convincingly because the honor went to Viee-President Curtis. But subsequent events proved that President Hoover had greater liking for Mir Tilson as floor leader in the House than as President of the Senate Time and again the President has had to rely upon Mir Tilson's personal friendship for him and his unrelenting old guard stand on matters of legislation.
 Connecticut would like to see Mir Tilson, Speaker of the House. if the republicans do the organizing. It would be an honor for the state and for all New England. It has been some time since this section of the country has boasted of the House Speaker. Furthermore. he is well qualified to hold down the important position. He and Nicho- las Longworth were the Presidents faithful stand-bys until the veterans loan bill sent the late Mr Longworth away from the fold. There is more than mere honor going with the position to our way of thinking. If MT Tilson is the next Speaker, it may assure him of several more terms in Congress.
 Conneeticut's laekadaisical attitude towards redistrieting of our congressional districts en- ters into the case It is generally stated that if we retain five districts and elect the sixth congressman at large Mir Tilson will be given that nomination. As Speaker he will be as- sured of national aid in his campaign and with the state voting for him his chances of election increase. Of recent years he has been hard pressed to retain his control of the third dis trict. One more election might ruin his chances of retaining the speakership if the honor became his in December. All of which means that Mr Roraback's espousa of the Til
 dh cause might mean that both believe that in union there is strength. And it will be needed in the next few years if the republicans are to retain their hold on Conneetieut. ;

A CALAMIToUs MONTH
(Hartford Courant)

NddrtIOrQ COurdnt)
 April, a spring month in southern New England, marks an upward trend in natures work and, as we'll, for a few farmers who are still &C., tive. It is an emphatically busy month for them and is even more of burden to the meteorologist for he learns to expect any and all sorts of weather and he is rarely if ever disappointed. Quoting from the New Haven records, the month brought a snowfall of 10 inches in 1874, and in 1915 1t brought a maximum tenn perature of 91 degrees. while the minimum was 13 in 1928. In the matter of precipitation it brought 1.19 inches, in 1896 and 9.03 in 1901.
 There are hylas, and now and then, maybe. mosquitos. There are wonderfully alluring days wherein one finds hepatica, bloodroot and arbutus in bloom and is glad to be alive to enjoy them. and there are many other days marked by rain with sleet. For that matter only comparatively few years ago in April Hartford held a city election which was Hldrkeu py 0 DrlSk snow bIOrHl with lightning and thunder in 1t. We repeat that anything may be expect ed with some confidence in April.
 Those who are interested in the history of the United States will note that April has often been disguised by events which have affected the destines of the nation. It will be recalled that the battle of Lexing- ton occurred in April, that the Civil war began in April, that Lincoln was assassinated in April. that the war with Spain was declared in April. and that, also in April. the United States entered the World war.
 The ocean liner Titanic" collided with an iceberg and sank with great loss of life in April. 1912. and the disastrous floods In the' Mississippi valley in 1927 features of the month in that year. Those whose birth month is April have need to walk humbly. especially the males for, though the birthstone for the month may be the diamond they are more likely to give than to re- cetve.' Did we say that it is a month of changes? It Is, for we shift from standard to daylight time as the end of the month approaches.

State Senator William H. Hackett of New Haven is being boomed for the democratic nomination for mayor. At one time MT Hackett was power in New Haven politics and proved the city's most popular tax eol- lector His independence of spirit antagon- ized the Fitzgerald clique and he was steam rollered out of city politics. In his years Tn the General Assembly, though. he has proved to be the leading exponent of Jeffersonian doctrines in the Senate Two years ago he was prominently mentioned for place on the democratic state ticket It certainly would strengthen democratic chances in New Haven to head the ticket with Senator Haekett.

At The National Capitol DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER
 "A Digest of Who's Who and Whats What By RODNEY DUTCHER t
DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER

the campaign meeting between Cleveland and Tammany leaders was arranged.
 When the latter demanded pledges Cleveland said he would be damned if lie would make any and promis- ed to reveal their demands to the country. Boss Croker then with drew the demands and whether or not Tammany worked for Cleveland he carried the state by 45,00O. That was the last time. the democrats carried the Empire State in g. two- party fight. But they would have won the election without it, for it was big democratic year.
 Some democrats profess to see a parallel between 1882 and that elec- tion 40 years ago, pointing to Presi- dent Harrison's lack of popularity and the widespread resentment that year at republican high tariff.

a few of the Connecticut munici- palities. at least the g. o. p. can find no reason for increased confidence from such expressions of the public feeling toward republican legislative leadership. The republican party is becoming more and. more on the defensive and a more menacing de- fensive in this state.
