 We believe that these games are being used by Maxi Germany as an instrument for the propagation of her ideals which represent the destruction of democratic and pro- gressive society.
 Because the Nazi regime is re- sponsible fCr the enslavement of races and the destruction of all standards of fair play, we believe that Americans should refuse to take part in the games, and that such refusal will serve to elevate and preserve sport and the sporting spirit"

 BEING WATCHED
Four of Them to Be Held This Week-Meriden Is
 Very Important

With four of Connecticut'S smaller cities holding elections this week, local democratic leaders were con- fident today that the party would hold its own in the quartette of communities. Principal interest of Town Chairman John Crary was centered on Meriden where the vot- CTS will go to the polls tomorrow to elect their city officials for the com ing two years. Polling is taking place today on city officials in Rockville Willimantic and Putnam.
 Meriden Important
 Much importance is attached to the election in Meriden for 1t is the home town of United States Sena- tor Francis T. Maloney. Also, 1t IS one of the large communities of New Haven county. In last years state election the county went dem ocratic and the outcome in Meriden will have much bearing, 1t is felt, on the state and national election coming in 1886.
 Waterbury ana New haven, tae two largest cities of the county, were returned to the democratic column in elections last month and the month previous. It is hoped by Chairman Crary that Meriden will stay democratic tomorrow, also.
