The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-04

the coming state republican convention is liable to support Lieutenant Governor Roy l.. Wilcox Of Mcriden for the gubernatorial nomination. This belief is strong here because of the fact that the Meriden man is political protege of Congressman +. w. Goss of this ci:y. His name was placed on the republican state ticket two years ago through the ef- forts of Congressman Goss and, it is understood, the lat ter has been doing much mis- sionary work in behalf of the heutenant-governor.
 Wilcox is we'll thought of in Waterbury. His appeal is es- pecially to the younger ele- ment. At the same time he has brought q democratic as- pect into the office of lieutcn- ant-governOr with the result that his candidacy for the gubernatorial nomination is being hailed with much pleas ure not only here but else where throughout Connects cut.
 Several times the Meriden- ite has spoken here. Meriden in the last session of the state Legislature held distinct place in the senate. It had two men in the upper branch. They were Gov crnor Wilcox, who was the president of the senate, a re- publican, and Senator Julius StrcmIau, a democrat. Water bury, many times the size of Mcriden, only had two mem- bers in the senate, one from the 18th and one from the 18th districts.
 While Congressman Goss or the local republican OrganiZa- tions have not come out for mally behind the candidacy of Lieutenant Governor Wilcox, it is known that the Meriden man Is assured of some sup port from Waterbury. The only thing holding back the To- cal republican leaders is the fear of the wrath of State Chairman J. Henry Roraback, it is said. His right-hand man, Harry Mckenzie of Bethel, op- posed the placing of Wilcox on the ticket two years ago and he and Congressman Goss thereupon became avowed po- litical enemies. It Is possible that the local man will stand upon his rights as a leader of tue party in Connecticut and defy Mckenzie and thus, in- directly dare Chairman Rora- back to visit any punishment upon the g.o.p. organization in the Brass City.
 The name of former Senator Albert Lavery of Bridgeport that is being mentioned in connection with the lieuten- nt-gOvernorship is of great interest to Waterbury. Ex- Senator Lavcry has relatives in Waterbury. He was the presi- dent prO-tem of the state sen- ate i'll the session of 1881 when Samuel Spencer was lieutenant governor. He is considered one of the Wilcox group of popular "appealers."
 The question now being asked is that of who is going to take Customs Collector Fan nic Dixon Welch's place on the democratic national com mittee. The Columbia woman must absolutely resign before September 1st from either the national committee or the cus- toms office post by virtue of an emphatic ruling issued in Washington once more by Sec fetary of the Treasury Henry

OLD STAGE
STATION To
Be PRESERVED

Restoration of the Vallectio stage
station by the county of San Di-
ego is assured by the fact that
the owner of the property on which
the station stands has made ar
rangementS to deed the land to
the county, according to informa-
ton received at the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce from Ar
mand Jessop Of San Diego, who
has recently become interested in
the protection of the old Butter
field station part of which is still
standing in Vallecito valley to the
west of Imperial county.
c. F.. Holland, Los Angeles at
torney and owner of the property
on which the station is standing,
has promised to deed it to San
Diego county Immediately. This
action was taken when it was
found short time ago that squat
ters had taken possession of the
building and removed some of the
hand heWn ceiling beams, which
were tied together with rawhide
thongs. II was then decided that
restoration and some means of
protection must be planned imme-
diately if this historical Landmark
were to be saved from vandalism
and the elements.
1t was through the interest of
the Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce in the Imperial highway,
on which the Vallecito station
stands, that the attention Of the
San Diego Historical society was
first drawn to this interesting
landmark. Directors of the local
chamber have felt for several
years that it should be preserved
with a fence and roof, but as it
lies outside of Imperial county no
move could be made for such pro-
lection without the interest of San
Diego county officials. Immediate
ly upon visiting the station the
San Diego group became interested
and preservation of what remains
of this Butterfield Stage station
and restoration to its original ap-
pearance is assured.
The Old Landmarks Club in San
Diego has had the building in
spected by John Seibert. an archi-
tect experienced in such restor-
alton work, and has advertised for
photographs of the building as it
originally appeared. Many photo

"What?" asked the Wolf.
You know this is the month of
March, mewed the Bob Cat. This
time of year the winds of Spring
blow very hard. Now Uncle Wiggily
is sure to go out adventuring to-
day, sometime. The wind will blow
his hat off and he will chase it."
What good will that do us-to
have Uncle Wiggily chase his hat?"
asked the Fox.
There is where the trick comes
In chuckled the Bob Cat II will
Uncle Wgigily will go hopping to
look for an adventure. l will watch,
and when the wind blows off his
hat, as it is sure to do, 1 will run
along behind the bushes, get his
hat and tie a string on it and run
along with it. I'll pull the hat along
behind me but I'll be away up in
front where Uncle Wiggily can't
see me. I'll pull his hat here to-
ward my den He will think the
wind is blowing it but l will be
pulling it. Uncle Wiggliy will chase
his hat and, before he knows it, he
will run into my den"
"Ha! Then Wen have him. howl
ed the Fox and Wolf.
So the Bob Cat hid himself in
the woods. Uncle Wiggily went out
for walk. The March wind was
blowing very hard. Soon it blew off
the rabbit gentleman'S hat. He
started to chase it.
Now I'll put the string on it and
pull it toward my dem" said the
Bob Cat, running behind the bush
eS. But as Uncle Wiggily was chas-
ing his hat, all of a sudden around
the corner came the Police Dog
And, very kindly, he caught the rab-
bits hat before the Bob Cat had
chance to do SO.
Here is your hat, Uncle Wiggily!
barked the kind Police Dog
"Oh, thank you so much!" said
the rabbit. The March wind is very
strong, isn't it?"
Indeed it is" barked the Police
Dog, and then Mr.. Longears hoped
back to his bungalow and the Bob
Cat, the Fox and the Wolf were still
very hungry.

Dear Mr.. Creagh:
We are glad to know of your plan
to publicize Highway U. S. 80. 1t
is one of the most attractive and
important transcontinental routes.
We here, of course, have been
doing a great deal for Highway U.
S. 80 from San Diego to Dallas.
which sector is a portion of the
Broadway of America. Through the
efforts of the Broadway of America
Association, our group has concen-
trated principally in building U. S.
80 from Dallas west to San Diego,
which sector is, of course, available
to the good ptople on Highway U. S.
east of Dallas. We feel sure any ef-
forts you make to publicize u. S. 30
will be of benefit to Selma because.
be it remembered, highway travel
flows both ways and if you develop
traffic west from Selma you are 60
ing to get The flow Of traffic east
bound as we'll to balance it.
AS you probably know, Highway
u. S. 80 from Dallas west is virtual
ly completed. There are only a few
oiled sections, easily passable, and
these short sectors are being elm
mated as each month progresses. In
California. from Yuma to San Diego,
Highway U. S. 80 is improved to the
highest modern standards. Its sur
facing, grading, bridges and other
structures are of the most modern
and advanced type. Incidentally it
traverses some Of the most highly
scenic country to be found any
where.
With all good wishes for the sue
cess of your publicity campaign, let

Yours very truly,

/, uor in Washington are considerably
cheaper than the price for similar
brands at dispensaries in nearby
Maryland. The dealers in the lat

reduce prices drastically to meet
the capitals competition.
That leads to the hope of cer-
tain optimists that an endless
chain system is about to develop,
lowering whisky prices the country
over, they argue.
IF some Maryland dealers slash
prices, all dealers in the state
will have to do likewise. If all
Maryland prices are low, then deal
ers along the borders of Penn
sylvania and Delaware will have
to revise their price tags. That
will bring lower prices in the in
teriors of those states and then

MORBID JUSTICE

It's an odd world and one of the oldest
things IN It was recorded yesterday when
the state Of Indiana electrocuted Harley
Edwards.
There Is every indication that Edwards
deserved the penalty inflicted upon him,
for he was convicted of Staying his
eStranged wife year ago
But the state of Indiana worked with
out ceasing for almost "a hours, to keep
Edwards alive so that it could put him
to death. That is where the oddness
comes in
Thursday Edwards was informed that
the governor would not honor his plea
for communication of sentence. He tried to
heat execution by the state by taking
his own life He was found unconscious
IN his cell having broken his eye glasses
and slashed his wrists with the broken
glass
Physicians were hurriedly summoned
and decided that blood TRANSMISSION
was necessary to keep Edwards alive.
Two fellGw-inmates in the prison volun-
teered to undergo the blood TRANSMISSION.
Through their aid and the skill of the
doctors, Edwards was kept alive until yes
terday, when supported by two guards,
he was led to the electric chair.
Nobody. apparently, can be censured
Tor the affair. The prison officials were
charged by court order to take Edwards
life 1t was up to them to carry out the
order. But it is a glaring reflection on
our boasted civilization when such things
can occur. Edwards, of course, might
have saved the state from making such
a terrible spectacle of justice by taking
his medicine However, he cannot be
blamed for doing what he did-it was
his waY Cf looking at If
The whole thing is sorry mess but
nothing can be done, apparently, to pre-
vent the same thing happening again.
That is the real pity of it.
