grave consideration to O new and ter

this interest, this foundation came into

Queer Sense of Honor

Why is il" reader asked Grantland Rice recently, that so many more people get so much more excited at some evidence or report of crookedness in sports than they do over crookedness or corruption in politics and H. nanee?" Rice printed the query. and added some comments of his own. reminding read CTS that when the White Sox scandal stirred the nation so profoundly while back there were several state governors in pententiaries about whom nobody was particularly stirred. He pointed out that condition in the sport world corresponding to present conditions in New York or Chicago political life would have created national uproar.
 It is a puzzle worth cudgelling the brains over How can the same sense of honor and decency be SO outraged by unsportsmanlike be- havior in sport and remain practically indif- ferent to cheating and dishonesty in the far more important realms of government and politics? It is wrong for player to break the rules of the game, but it doesn't seem to matter whether an official breaks the rules of office or whether the public breaks any laws. Perhaps there is some high compliment to sport concealed in the observation but there isn't any compliment to the public sense of honor.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-19

What To Do?

In breaking down the organization, that managed his successful gubernatorial fight Governor Cross probably didn't realize what furore he would create in the democratic gSparty. Maybe at that the governor isn't conscious of any schism in the ranks Maybe he realizes that much of the comment about z the successors of State Chairman O'Sullivan and State Secretary Tone is of republican origin and is calculated to stir up dissension just at moment when the republican party can't hope to continue in power with spir- ited opposition looming. There is no cause to be stampeded into any drastic reforms within our ranks We scored a victory last fall. We can do even better in 1932.
 We feel sure that when it comes time for the state central committee to select new chairman and secretary Governor Cross will De just as prominent in naming these two officials as he was last year in picking Mir CSullivan and Mir Tone to manage his cam paign. He still has over year in office. The right to pick the aides should be his We rather imagine that when the time comes < it will be to the governor that the democrats will turn for advice. And judging by his performance to date he won't miss an op- portunity to retain the hold that the demo- cratic party now has on the state govern ment
 Should he express complete indifference to the choice of new chairman and secretary it would mean. to our way of thinking, that Governor Cross was not desirous of another term as chief executive. Recent remarks of his at Hartford banquet have already been construed as indicating he would not seek z the nomination in lo32. However we don't need to discuss that in connection with the internal welfare of the democratic party. It will be another year before issues of 1852 and candidates should be proposed. In the meantime the democrats should do all in their power to strengthen their hold on public opinion Most of us are disgusted with lie actions of the republican Legislature. Why minimize our chances by party warfare!
 There is no need to reorganize the party. The state central committee should merely rally behind men who will carry on the work P. B. O'Sullivan and Joe Tone started last fall. Their policies were good enough ro elect democratic governor. They should be continued and men named to carry them through who will not attempt to substitute personal glory for party advancement. There is new era of democratic politics in Con- necticut in which the younger man must be reeognized Governor Cross realized that. So should every other good democrat. Let's keep the party in power.
