Washington.-The ground swell in the democratic party for Cover nor Franklin D. Roosevelt, al- though it has not receded, has lost
 momentum.
 The governor still leads the field, without serious competition. The probability is that if the nominat- ing convention were to be held to- day Roosevelt would have major | ity of delegates when the balloting began--a majority which would be likely to lead to his nomination by the requisite two-thirds vote soon thereafter. What has happened is that Roosevelt appears to have gathered in all the elements of support now ready to declare themselves for him. There Is no way to tell wheth- CT the movement for him will make any more headway in the next seven months. But the present net effect is to identify more clearly the sections of the party which are opposed to hs nomination or which do not want him to get it sewed up before convention time.
 ass ,F
 It is almost amazing that, in his year when democrats feel so con- fident that they can elect the next president, Roosevelt has such a comparatively clear field. It Is largely this fact which has given
 his boom such great momentum and which now worries his oppo- uents who realize that they can't
 stop somebody with nobody.
 Recent weeks have brought ap- parently reliable reports that the opposition was making serious at- tempts to solidify support behind
 another strong entry and that an Important portion of 1t had decid- ed to back Governor Albert C. Ritchie. The Maryland governor IS
 the only really announced candl-
 date and as long as Newton D. Baker refuses. to encourage efforts to nominate him, Ritchie seems the
 only man who might be used eI- fectively in the attempt. to stop
 Roosevelt. There is nothing sure
 about this, but many democratic
 leaders are convinced that Rtcnle
 delegates and favorite son dele gates can Do bcut HI SuAhNASAAs AA~~.. bers to prevent Roosevelt from get ting that two-thirds. Much depends on the course taken by Al Smith, who Is sup posed to dislike the idea of Roose- veit's nomination. If Smith sudden ly were to declare for Baker hii stroke would have the effect o1 i putting Baker in the race despite
 his refusals to countenance activity | in his behalf. Baker would not run away from the nominations; he sim ply isn't going after 1t. Ikl,
 Of course if Smith comes out for Ritchie the chances that the veteran Maryland governor couio
 block Roosevelt would increase tremendously. Most of the anti Roosevelt crowd prefer Baker as a party candidate, simply because they think he is Q stronger bet.
 There is very widespread feel. ing that Baker will be nominated 1 if Roosevelt Is not and that Kit chie,s chances are considerably poorer even though he Is an open candidate, whereas Roosevelt might be described as semi-open and Baker as no candidate at all. | Not one of the three carries any appeal to a large mass such az would resemble that which Al Smith has demonstrated. Nor. even

Smish will De factor in choosing the dem ccratic nominee, but will not permit the use of bis own name in that respect. It won't hurt anybody to back Smith in this case. for he will always remain popular figure in the eyes of the public. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain by backing him in I932. However. it would be fool ish for democrats of this state to start pick ing and disearding candidates now. Wait un- til next spring and make that decision at the state central committee meeting.

THOSE "CRACK.BRAINED
 DENOUNCERS'
(New Britain Herald)

NTNeW DIitdih k1ChaidI
 E. Kent Hubbard, president of
 the Manufacturers Association of
 Connecticut. made a speech in Mer-
 iden, at which he was reported to
 have said that congress lis lousy
 with crack -brained denouncers". We are sure. that MT Hubbard
 does not include Senator Bingham
 among the crack-brained denounc-
 CTS. It will be remembered that Senator Bingham once had tariff expert, one Charles L. Eyanson, who was an assistant to the Con- necticut Manufacturers association. Tn this manner the association, with MT Hubbard at its head, had rep
 resentative in the secret meetings of the senate finance committee considering tariff matters.
 MT Eyanson was substituted for
 Senator Bingham's regular secre-
 tary, MT Bingham later explaining that he himself knew very little
 about the tariff and needed an ex-
 pert such as MT Eyanson to help him out. If there were men of un-
 sound economic reasoning abroad
 in the land at that time," they evil dently did not include MT Bingham,
 as the senator had no reasoning on
 the tariff at all: that is to say. he let Mir Eyanson do this reasoning
 for him. It appears that then, as now, congress was "lousy with crack brained denouncers." so that 1t came to pass that some of the de- nouncers denounced the employ ment of MT Eyanson as a secretary for Mr Bingham.
 After the denouncers had de- nounced enough, and the country's headlines were teeming with the denunciations, Mir Hubbard. on
 October,2l. 1929. formally and pub licly app.oved of all the actions of Senator Bingham in employing MT Eyanson. He even told of the time the employment of Mir Eyanson
 was discussed with Senator Bing-
 ham in the office of J. Henry Rora-
 back in Hartford.
 Insteal of denouncing "crack- brained denouncers" in congress, we are of the opinion Mir Hubbard might well denounce the hard and cruel fate which did not permit the new tariff law to operate as had !! been anticipated after all the trouble of providing Senator Bing- ham with Mir Eyarzion as advisory counsel. The articles given sub- stantial increases included brass,
 bronze and copper products. hard
 ware of all kinds, electrical appar- atus and supplies, silver and plated ware. machine tools, firearms. cuct- lery. clocks. sewing machines and stamped and enameled ware. Much prosperity and booming trade was to be experienced as result of the increased tariff. Instead, however,

 then seem to be doing more than

nEsrRoYERs SINK SUE.

On Nov "A, 1917. two United States destroyers. the Tanning and the Nicholson, sank a submorine, but rescued all of it's crew.
 The periscope of the submarine was sighted by CoXswain David D. Loomis, lookout on the Tanning. The Tanning immediately made for the spot the periscope had been sighted, and dropped a depth charge.
 The Nicholson speeded up to the spot, noticing that the submarine was heading for a merchant ship in the convoy.
 The submarine came to the sur face between the Nicholson and the convoy, ands the Nicholson opened fire with her stern gun. Then the Tanning opened fire with her bow gun.
 The crew of the submarine came on it's deck. holding up hands. Presently the submarine sank, and all the crew swam to the Tanning and were picked up.
 On this date the American steamer Actaeon was sunk by submarine. Two members of the armed guard were killed and two were reported missing.
