'NORTH IN POWER"

Continued from Page u
pride and remaining where it is.
I have an idea that the latter will
be it's course. But at any rate
"things amt the some no mo-"
In an attempt to analyze the ac-
tivities of the convention (strip-
ping it of all bally-hoo and clap
trap) the writer is forced to come
to the conclusion that Roosevelt
can expect and will receive the full
support of his party machinery.
There are grumblings and gnashing
of teeth, to be sure. But even the
dumbest red neck from Arkansas
knows that minus Roosevelt the
party would have about as much
chance as the Communists in Nazi-
dom. And between the average
mans pride and his privilege
well, you tell 'em. So the South
will stick with Roosevelt and the
Northern Negro Democrats will
continue to be elevated to greater
prestige. And I rise to opine that
such a course won't do the party
one bit Of harm. And if what the
writer has CLEANED is true from
innumerable conversations with
people in Chicago, Cleveland, South
Bend, Pittsburgh, Gettysburg,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore, then
Landon might as well stay home.
But don't take that too prophet
cally-look what Schmeling did to
Joe!
COTTON-HEAD SMITHS WALK
Senator "Cotton" Ed Smith
gained more publicity walking out
on the Democratic Convention in
Philadelphia because of the pres
ence of Negro delegates than he
has gained in all Of his years as
Cracker" statesman. His antics
gave Negro Republicans something
to make capital of and also placed
the senator among the grand order
of public "jackasses."
IF there ever was a more silly
evidence of paucity Of statesman
like timber in our southern states
here is a supreme example of it.
There is a feeling Of sadness for
the future of a section which will
send such an intolerant, bigoted,
silly old reprobate as "Cotton" Ed
Smith to the highest law-making
body of the country. South Caro-
lima surely should retire old "Cot-
ton" Ed. He has made a laughing
stock of his constituents by his
dumbbell walk at Philadelphia.

Whiteman. Measured by any
standard on Radio Row, Mr..
Whiteman is the greatest figure in
the Interpretation of modern mu-
sic.
And yet, listen to his program.
At times they have been so
heavy with special singers and
guest performers that one hear
his orchestra as such, only for
fleeting moments. This disturbS
me. For there are those among
us who look upon his early pro-
grams, his concerts at the Bilt-
more as the most turbulent de-
lights in broadcasting. And we'd
like to hear Whiteman again
his orchestra, the type of concert
that made him Whiteman.

United Mine Workers of
America recently voted approval

iarize the nation with the views
of it's leader. Miner John Lewis.
Apropos Of comment in this
column on the new type of radio
program promised by Sigmund
Romberg on future Tuesday eve
nings are the following reflections
on current broadcasting ideas.
Write this OLD RADIO EDITOR:
During the last two weeks I
have been listening earnestly to
the popular orchestras featured
by many commercial programs.
That is, have been trying to
hear them. But so many trick
singers, so many tap dancers, so
many comics and hillbillies and
combblowers have been intro
duced that the orchestra music
is all but lost.
This is the gingerbread era in
radio, I realize. A sponsor feels
that to attract attention he must
spot his program with vast va
riety of novelties. A half hour is
not a half hour unless at least
two or three of the weeks batch
of celebrities are given their
chance to perform. It's no longer
privilege to broadcast. A celeb
rity expects it, his due, just as he
expects at p. m. his sherry and
bitterS.
Meanwhile the orchestra lead
err sits and waits, ready to con-
duct his outfit if there only were
time. Take the case of Paul

daughters can't all come to the
show together.

British Politics

Great Britain held elections on the
same day we did, but they were munich
pal, not national. There was notable
difference in results, too. The Con-
servatives won in most of the cities. They
won not against Liberals, for the British
Liberal party is almost wiped out, but
against the Labor Party.
The virtual disappearance of the Lib
eral Party in England, which was in
charge of the government during the
World War and for years afterward, is
an interesting phenomenon. What has
happened to British Liberalism?
The fact seems to be that, broadly
speaking, the Conservatives under STAN
ley Baldwin have absorbed it, or have
hopelessly weakened it by adopting it's
policies. Many important liberal" or
radical" devices to conquer economic
depressions and social unrest, such as
government housing and public works
and relief payments and social insur-
ance, and so on, were undertaken by the
Conservative party. AS a matter of de-
liberate policy, it has accepted a liberal
program to prevent more radical one.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1936-11-28

AS if to confound his critics, and they
are many today, J. Henry Roraback was
back at his desk in Hartford last week
no whit disturbed by the outcome of the
recent election nor the complete downfall
of the republican party in Connecticut.
There is no talk of abdication on Mr..
Roraback's part, either. However, there
may be some sort of a showdown when
the state central committee gets together.
That will be the real test of what the
republican party is going to mean in fu-
ture elections in Connecticut. 1t was bad
enough to see democrats capturing state
and national offices, but when it made
such heavy inroads in the Legislature.
Well, you make your own conclusions.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1936-11-28
Advice That Worked

Perhaps it was beginners luck, or per-
haps 1t was willingness to follow good
advice. At any rate, former Canadian
blacksmith raised record potato crop
in Maine which brought him to the at
tention of the Departp mt of Agricul-
ture. He produced 701 bushels an acre
on IL acre plot. y, record he beat
was sos bushels to tle acre, held by a
farm in PennSylvani..
When the blacksmith moved to the
Maine farm he knew nothing about po-
tatoes except their taste. But he asked
lot of questions of his new neighbors
who had been at the job of raising spuds
for many years. 81 obtained all the adj
vice I could from growers around here
who seemed to know the potato-raising
business" he said.
There's lot of uncalled-for and inept
advice in the world. And there's a lot
of good advice wasted on the unheeding.
These facts suggest that there's no use
pointing moral with this tale. Some
folks wouldn't get it, and those who
would don't need it.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1936-11-28
In For a Busy Time

The legislators who gather in Hartford
next week for their special session seem
destined to have busy time. We only
hope that they may adjourn in time to do
their Christmas shopping. But as the
plans of various groups in the state are
brought forward it would seem that If
anything in the nature OF an argument
is forthcoming the boys will not be out OF
the trenches in time to celebrate the
holidays at home. The commission to
bring about reorganization of our state
departments needs more money and may
place request for the same before the
General Assembly next week.
And by far as important question as
that of unemployment insurance Is the
proposed State Housing Authority. This
also is needed in order to make federal
housing funds available in Connecticut.
A bill has been drafted and if it should
be passed at the special session, Bridge
port would gain to the extent of some
100000 to be used in slum-clearance
and housing programs already drawn up
for this city. There is just chance, OF
course, that the present legislative set-up
may be hinged very definitely with the
State Housing Authority and Unemploy-
ment Insurance bills
This was not originally included in
Governor Wilbur L. Cross must" legis-
lation for the special session. We don't
know if he will be inclined to look favor
ably on any change in his plans, but the
fact remains that there are going to be
more bills placed before the Legislature
than planned, so why not make it inter-
esting all around. We'd hate to imperil
the unemployment insurance legislation,
but that has already been done, so it
won't make much difference if one, two
or twelve more measures are introduced.
It's an ordeal that now can't be possibly
avoided.
