 O'Neill's plea was that the union party vote for its presidential elec- tors and vote blank on the rest oi the offices. This would have repre- scented a protest vote against Con- gressman J. Joseph Smith and At torney J. Warren Upson, democratic and republican candidates, respec- lively, he contended. He overlookeI the fact that Floyd Rasmussen of this city is running for the state senate in the 18th district on the union party slate.
 O'Neill's suggestion was not adopt ed and the name of George Ayotte was offered for the candidate on the write in" campaign. Mrs Ayotte's name, his wife, was next mentioned. MT. Ayotte withdrew in favor of Mrs. Ayotte. He was rewarded by being elected town chairman of the union party in Wa terbury. Patrick Lawlor was named vice-chairman.

 State Chairman Crowley urged the other cities and towns in the fifth district to organize town com mittees. The local town committee membership will be perfected soon, it was announced.
 A collection was taken up at the meeting and 1t amounted to $l7.9l. The expenses of the party here so far have been SIS. so there is a nine-cent deficit with which to set out to elect Mrs. Ayotte.

picture, the powers-that-be sud-

cided that Sidney Fox would make
a better Lotus than real Chinese

Fox was in. At least, temporarily.
After two weeks Of testing, Miss
Fox was found unsatisfactory for
the role and now Miss Liu is right
back in again and this time
she'll stay.
