Might Be Upset

Certain radicals in the Roosevelt
camp are due for a sad disappointment
in the next moves of the President, un-
less some usually accurate advisers Of
the Chief Executive are very much
mistaken. .
Naturally enough, the radicals con-
strue the huge Democratic majority as
a mandate not only to continue the
Roosevelt policies, but to turn further
to the left. That would seem logical,
but there is a political slant, which the
radicals have not figured.
The point Is that the Republicans are
SO helpless, SO leaderless, and 80 with.

trouble from that quarter presents it.

OF course, once there was an econo-

Only the front page had anything that might be termed news, and only two comparative ly small articles had anything at all to do with Watertown. Both of these were in editorial form and were on general subjects. The rest of the front page was given over to canned" material and another advertisement.
 Postmaster James T. Kelley of Waterbury said today that he had not been asked to assist in the in- vestigation and that he had nc knowledge of the publication. As far as he knows, no effort was made to have 'The Watertown Press" listed as a newspaper in Waterbury.
 Advertisers, according to infor- nation unearthed by the Democrat, were contacted by phone and asked if they would care to buy space in "The Watertown Press. When the word Press was used, busi- ness men naturally thought that tllC PuUACdtlOA was d hC"SPHPVA' The advertising rates were com paratively low.
 A thorough study of both state and federal laws will be necessary before police can act, when they are called into the case, for the legal aspects of such a situation are many and varied. No further edi. tions of "The Watertown Press are contemplated, as far as can be learned.

 To the men in the field, the or- ders to get Nelson, dead. were un- necessary. For them it had be- come almost a matter of personal vengeance. They remembered w. Carter Baum, the agent who fell before Nelson when federal raid CTS failed to round up the Dill finger gang near Rhinelander, Wis, last. April 22. They knew Herman E. Hollis, the agent slain yesterday, They knew and respected Inspector Samuel F. Cowley who died of his wounds.
 All three--Baum, Hollis and Cowley-were among the justice departments most skilled and best liked operatives.
 Back of yesterdays clash with Nelson, officials intimated, lies a sensational story of months of pur- suit during which agents several times were close on the killers trail.
 q can't tell you the reason now" said Assistant Attorney General William Stanley, but we know positively 1t was Nelson whom our menf fought yesterday.
 Stanley said no state or local au- thorities had been notified when federal agents set out on a tip that Nelson was near Harrington.
 we can't call out everybody every time we get such a tip," he explained, "because we don't know whether there is anything to the tip"
 Outstanding is a federal reward offer of $5,O00 for capture of Nell son and $2,50O for information Possibility of increasing the re- ward was discussed, but brought no official comment. A fund of $20,000 is available for rewards.
