There is quite coincidence in the ,tan- didaey of former Mayor Fred Atwatfr of Bridgeport for the nomination of lieuten- ant-governor on the democratic ticket. One of the outstanding candidates for the guber- material nomination on the republican ticket is former lieutenant governor who lives in Bridgeport. He is Clifford B. Wilson. also a former mayor of that city. Of course, Waterbury is hoping that the democratic nomination will go to Controller Daniel J. Leary of this city who was defeated two years ago, but who would like to be Cover nor Cross running mate again this fall. However, that does not detract from the odd situation in the Park City. And both dem- ocrats and republicans there are doing every thing in their power to put their favorites over the top. Each one is backed by powerful organization in the county and efforts to secure the nominations for them have been felt in every city and town of the state. As yet the Leary boom has not reached any great proportions, but certainly after the party has straightened tangled party lines there will be something definite forthcoming with regard to the state ticket. The convention isn't SO many weeks away now.

gry dhe might me. In passing, it may be said that another type of cherry abounded on old farms. They were red and they were sour. and one wondered why. they were not preyed upon by insects as much as the other types we have men tioned.
 We wonder if there are mothers in Israel who have the knack of making cherry pudding, boile4 drownss r whish a the Dsaa betder cherFss ass which the batter is placed in a fair white cloth and is then boiled and brought to the table hot?

A WORTHY FRIUT
(Hartford Courantl

At the moment, it is the cherry, but like many of the gifts of the gods, the cherry is fugitive. Thanks to many agencies the apple we have with us always, but the cherry is here to-day and gone tomorrow, so far as the native fruit is concerned, and it Is that in which we are in- terested, for we prefer the Con- necticut fruit to that from any other state. It is not our fault that oranges are not produced in quantity lots in the commonwealth
 Sometimes, even, we become anxious concerning the native cher ry. for though it may bes due to failing, sight, we do not note Us many cherry trees in thes state as as we saw fifty years ago. Most farms at that time boasted cherry trees. sometimes row of them. in front of the farmhouse. In a few towns, orchards were set to cher ries, and the fruit was raised for the market, but in more instances the trees were assumed to supply the househoId-asid the birds.
 And the birds were appreciative. As memory recalls it, the robins watched the fruit closely and were among the first to pronounce the cherry as ready for. eating. where upon the robin invited itself to breakfast and dinner. with many lunches in between. No farmer was keen for Killing one of these birds but to see them despoiiing the cher ry tree was sometimes more than nature could endure. and now and then the robins realised the fact too late.
 They preferred. sas do most hu- mans of to-day. the large blond cherry that bIushes to pink, in preferenca fo the older black cher ry. though thet was by no means to b6 deepised when fully ripe. As we recall it. the trees bearing these were taller md we nro con- vinctsl by experience that they aboundcd in dead-iimbs that would not bear the weight of a picker. no matter how youthful and hun-

New Donor Glass

The former millionaires who no longer have millions, the public treasuries now struggling with tax shortages, and the pres idents and trustees of institutions which have long benefited from the generosity of the very wealthy doubtless all feel badly about the melting away of so many great fortunes. There is a bright side. suggests the Chicago Daily News, remarking: It may be wholesome for America to face. for a time, the problem of getting along with out the millionaire. It means that the load of benefieence which was shouldered upon the 500-odd masters of great wealth who decorated the American scene in 1929 |, must now be distributed more. widely. Where only few bore the burden, all who can in any smaller measure aid must now help to sustain it.
 This should mean eventually more indi- viduals interested in education. philan- thropy and culture and cooperating to ad- vance them. Benefits to the institutions themselves may come little more slowly this way. In the long run, the benefits to the many small donors will be great indeed. for they will take an interest in any institu- ton or project which has their financial support. Such relationship IS mutually useful.

Washington.-Dem politi- clans, eiatedly, annoyedly, are dis covering that Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt is a real showman with an effective sense of the dramatic.
 That sense of showmanship is an important factor in the gift of lpopular leadership. It is such an important asset that <the republi- cans are fortunate in being able to console themselves in the belief that this is year in which a. cool, stodgy, unemotional, untheatrical performance such as President Hoover produces IS more effective than in any ordinary campaign. There is. fundamentally con- servative quality in the Hoover "act" which they feel will appeal to all those who figure that they have something to save rather than nothing to lose.
 A Vigorous Offensive
 If the republicans couldn't feel that way, the contest wouldn't be quite fair. Because Hoover, as com uared with Roosevelt, has none of that dramatic instinct by vir- tue of which both Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were able to make themselves heroes with great mobs of people. Al Smith was good at it-but apparently not in tech nique as compared with the man succeeded him as governor of New York and as democratic candidate for the, presidency. There is none of the Big Bill Thompson stuff in Roosevelt. Thus far he has only exhibited a clean, vigorous, spectacular offen- sive which indicates that he is talk ing advantage of every possible op- |portunity for legitimate self-ex- ploitation and advisable self-de- fense.
 If he overdoes it he will prove himself a smart-aleck. but if he continues to play the game as scientifically as he has. played ! it to date he will lose very few tricks. The governors intent usually lseems clear to all professional analysts of underlying motives and, to some degree at least, usually ap- |pears achieved.
 His Real Masterpiece His Inagnum opus. at Albany which exhibited Mayor Jimmy Walker. pitted against Prosecutor Sam Seabury (with Roosevelt him. self in the role of Jehovah) was a masterpiece of showmanship, but 1t was. only the latest in series of .dramafc exhibitions which de- monstrate just how good Frank is at that sort of thing. Heaven only knows what he may have up his sleeve when he really cuts loose and goes after Hoover.
 Heaven also knows that he hadn't shown much of anything calculated to arouse populace prior to his nomination at Chicago. But right at that time he be- gan. Out he came to Chicago in an airplane. professedly = although probably not--writing his accept ance speech en route. He rode through cheering crowds and de- livered a, warm, vigorous, progress sive--apparently almost spontane- out but probably carefully prepar- ed speech. That performance seem ed designed to prove his real strength-strength political, men, tai and physical.
