Comment On Patrick Me- Govern of Hartford In

Former State Senator Patrick McGovern of Hartford, known to scores of Waterbury business men and political leaders was the sub ject recently of an interesting com ment in the Wall Street Journal Tn one of its daily column features Mir McGovern's career Is reviewed. A pal of J. ,Pierpont Morgan in boyhood days and an associate of many of the country's most suc- cessful men, Senator McGovern Is identified among the leaders of finance. The article says:
 "Newsboy, janitor, acquaintance maker, favor-doer, young Pat Me- Govern became the most popular lad of Hartford, fifty years ago. Now octogenafian, preserving still the winning smile, he sparkles oyer new victory, tho United States government sending him a check for tens of thousands of dollars by way of rebating his annual income tax.

 "They who attempt to belittle Pat McGovern are not his equals cannot be. They haven't the clear ness of his brain, they haven't the honesty of his heart. All his life he has been q builder, never pal oyerer. They don't meet him Tn their drawing rooms. because hls training, his predilections, do not direct him there; they do not meet him in his business competitions because their training does not eouip them there. He has grown rich by his own earning; and he hasn't built by slamming others.
