 Judge Mack did not crate at the convention. His speech was sim pie and calm. He had seen and helped this man from State Senatorship to the highest gift Of the Democratic party. He felt he knew Roosevelt.
 And Roosevelt was duly appre- ciative. He wired Judge Mack his thanks, saying: 'No matter what the result today, you and all ways go on together"

Back in 1910 the Democrats of Duchess County, New York, were trying to choose a candidate for the State Senate. It was rather a thankless task, since Duchess had been Republican so long the can- didacy was more nominal than real.
 Among those Democrats was John E. Mack, former Supreme Court Justice He had met a young man named Franklin D. Roosevelt, then just 23 years old, an active lawyer. He liked Roosevelt, and thought it an opportune time to put another Roosevelt name in politics.

ROME, July 20.-DinO Grandi, Italian Foreign Minister, has resigned in a far-reaching Cab inet shake-up ordered by Pre- micr Benito Mussolini.
 Five Ministers and eleven Under Secretaries have been displaced.
 Premier Mussolini has retain ed for himself two of the va cated portfolios.

crats were convinced no one could win that fight; perhaps MT. Mack felt much the same way. Anyway, they nominated Roosevelt.
 And much to their wonderment, he won after vigorous campaign over the county, the county that contains his home - Hyde Park. Perhaps part of the votes came from his use of an automobile to make campaign trips because an automobile was something to won der at in those days.
 Thence forward, Franklin D Roosevelt's name stayed in the political spotlight. Always was John F. Mack near to give help in the direction of his protege'S

Trumbull Home Town Again Pleased Over
 Drafting Of John
But the Trumbull Brothers Pretend at Least They Don't Like It They Will Submit to Decree and Roll Up Their Sleeves

his salesmanship that built us up from a little one-story shack to our present six-acre plant"
 John Thurbull was born in Ash ford 59 years ago of parents who had to work hard for a living. When he was boy the family moved to Plainville and after he and J. Henry, two years younger than John, had "gone through the grades" they started a small electrical contracting business.
 Although the families are not connected, unless remotely, the Trumbull boys soon exhibited the same Yankee shrewdness which distinguished Johns near-namesake Jonathan Trumbull, who was gov ernor of Connecticut for 15 years after 1769. The business thrived and soon the brothers were taking ordersr for manufactured electrical devices. They built soundly and rode to prosperity on the tide of lights in almost every building in the land.
 In 1920 the Trumbull Electric company became a subsidiary of the the General Electric company, and John, president of his concern, was made a vice-president of Gen. eral Electric. Henry is vice-presi- dent of the Plainville company. When Colonial Airways was or- ganized in Connecticut, John Trum- bull became president and later chairman of the board, beginning an ardent devotion to aviation which caused him to risk his life. He became governor first by a peculiar chain of circumstances. He had served in the state senate twice and was elected lieutenant goveronr in 1925 under Governor Hiram Bingham. After Senator Frank B. Brandigee of New Lon- don committed suicide, Bignham resolved to run for the senate, took the oath as governor, served Q day and bequeathed his seat at the state capitol to Trumbull.
 In 1927 Governor Trumbull was reelected.
 While governor his flights with then Major William r. Ladd, now state adjutant general, induced him to try for a pilots license. Although he was over 50 he displayed a cour- age and determination which earned him hi slicense despite near 
 would have stopped many Q young CT man.
 It was in 1927 that he had a serious airplane accident at Gro- ton during national guard air man. euvers. He was cut and bruised and Col James w. Gilson of Hart ford seriously injured when the governors plane and two tohers met in landing. While an ambul- ance sped to a hospital with Gill son, Trumbull took to the air with an undamaged plane to restore his nerve.
 Of late years, especially after he l was injured in glider crash at Newark. N. J., he has needed the pleas of his wife and daughters, Jean and Florence (Mrs John Cool idge) that he fly less regularly. He flew here from Maine to attend yesterdays convention.
