Judge Meyer is the junior judge but, on the other hand, Judge Me- Grath was the only leading republi- can of Waterbury to attack Gov ernor Cross administration, per- sonally. Judge McGrath attacked Governor Cross and his Adjutant- General, Michael Connor, on the manner in which contracts for work on the local armory were let out. Judge McGrath charged that the administration of Governor Cross was not as economical as presented
 Judge Meyer also, of course, tried to cut down the majority of Governor Cross in Waterbury with his run for the state senator's post in the 18th district. Judge Meyer, however, was defeated.
 Therefore, 1t is still matter of doubt ho wthe democratic and re- publican organizations of the state wil compromise on the judgeships. Attorney Edward Mascolo was also being mentioned to-day for a place on the city court bench, no mat ter who might be let go.
 Attorney Davis was considered one of the strongest candidates for the prosecutorship to-day. Reports indicated that the third prosecutor ship now held by Attorney Charles Summa would be wiped out entire ly and that the release of one oi the two regular prosecutors would be demanded, with a democrat tak~ ing the place of the man let go.

The rainstorm today made going difficult for pedestrians and drivers of cars. Most people carried um- brellas, although at that they were of little use. but they interfered with ones vision and as q result motorists had hard time al crossings seeing that they were not running into people blinded with umbrellas.
 It was steady downpour all day, and folks who found it neces- sary to be out did not get much protection from umbrellas or slick. CTS. At times there was a high wind and unless one had tight grip of an umbrella he stood 2 good chance of losing 1t.
