The Bridgeport Way

Mayor Frank Hayes might well ask why he was sighted in a recent endorse ment of the Bridgeport Times-Star of several of the candidates for state office. The editor picked out Governor Wilbur L. Cross, Albert E. Lavery and State Treasurer John s. Addis for attention. Their election was urged. The first and last are democrats; MT. Lavery is re- publican and popular resident of Fair field. His endorsement by the Bridgeport paper might be explained on the grounds that is of Fairfield county, but that doesn't go up here in the Naugatuck valley, where we want Lieutenant-GoV- ernor Hayes returned to office.
 Some nice things were said about the several candidates that the Times-Star singled out for attention. But the same is equally true of others. For example says the Times-Star: "1t is in line with this growing tradition that we today advocate the election of the Hon. Albert E. Lavery of Fairfield as lieutenant governor We do not believe 1t is incon- sistent to advocate the election of Gov. Cross, who wears the Democratic label, and of MT. Lavery, who wears the Repub- lican label ."
 To this writer's way of thinking there are many objections to spit vote along such lines as this. Both Governor Cross and MT. Lavery would not have 1t so, we know Certainly the record of Lieutenant Governor Hayes in Hartford compares favorably with his entire record in public life He Is entitled to be endorsed and supported for reelection if only on the single term that he has held his present state office.
 But if we were to urge the election of two democratic officials like Governor Cross and Treasurer Adds, but suggested a republican lieutenant-governor we might ask how certain programs that the governor might hope to push through the Legislature would fare when they came to the Senate over which the lieutenant-governor presides. To produce the best legislation, 1t is just as well to have the one party maintaining a con- trol in all branches of the Legislature. This is very necessary where men of such high calibre as mentioned in this article are concerned.

Few Skilled Office Workers

An employment organization in New York reports shortage of skilled office workers and junior executives under thirty years of age. During the depres- sion young men and women who would normally have entered these fields were unable to obtain any employment and so failed to get the training required.
 The existing situation is likely to cause some changes in traditional job specif- cations and salary schedules. For one thing, employers will have to accept un- trained and inexperienced young people in skilled office jobs. They are already doing so, but at the same time are cut ting down the hiring-salary, The alter native to this choice is to break down the former age requirements and hire older workers in positions usually limited to the years between twenty and thirty.
 Salary restlessness" is reported among the present job-holders in the skilled office work class. Experienced workers are getting more pay than they would command if conditions were normal, widening the reasonable gap between be- ginners and seasoned workers and greatly increasing the turnover of employees in the age range under consideration.
 Eventually this salary disturbance will subside and conditions will become more orderly. In the meanwhile, the outlook is excellent for graduates of business and other schools who will be ready for such jobs next February and June.

theorist might have their chances to shine. It is proved by facts that when business of any government must be transacted, a certain degree of politics must be injected.
 We should be convinced after this election, though, that too much time is devoted to the business of electing one man, defeating another. In short we begin our campaigns much too early for the persons towards whom all the mate rial of attack and defense is aimed. It may be necessary for big political organi- zations to start work early, but the voter has to suffer an awful lot at the hands of the campaigner. It wouldn't hurt in the future if we allotted certain months or perhaps weeks to actual campaigning.
 There was more independence of thought expressed at the polls today than ever at presidential election. It may make it's mark on American govern ment. But it should convince every eligi- ble voter that they should exercise their right to the franchise, never let it pass by, no matter the personal feeling

One More Campaign Ends

Another presidential campaign is at a close By the time this editorial is read the results in this city and perhaps throughout the entire nation will be known It is to be hoped that whatever has taken place at the polls is for the best interests of the United States. We sincerely hope that when the figures are totaled, they will show that the demo- crats have been returned to office. We believe that such a state of affairs will, in the long run, prove more advantageous to the nation and to it's millions of peo- ples.
 There have been many and confusing issues brought before the voters during the past two months. As always the various speakers shifted from one topic to another with the consummate ease that only comes with a thorough train ing in the political arena. Reformers would have the professional politician retired to the side-lines, so that the practical businessman and the political

expenses

The spectacle of a religious sect pray ing all last night for the defeat of President Roosevelt is about the most outlandish thing that we ever read or heard of. Certainly it must have startled Hartford to know that in it's midst fifty persons could be bror ght together for such a purpose. We ca imagine people desiring and hoping for the political defeat of man., but honestly praying for such thing to occur is quite differ cnt In the first place it rather disturbs our understanding of prayer. We never thought you prayed for such things as this and if the Hartford Praying Band can show proof to the contrary we'd like to hear of 1t.

Economy for Connecticut as well as the nation was one of the watch-words of States Attorney Arthur M. Brown during his campaign this fall. He spoke several times about the fact that when the republicans went out of office they left surplus in the treasury, but that today the state deficit had mounted to $14,000,000. The odd part of it lies in the fact that in 1880, six years ago, Wilbur L. Cross was one of the few democrats elected to state office, the republicans controlling the others and also the Legislature The same was true in 1882 when the governor was reelected. In 1884 the democrats elected full state ticket but control of the Legislature remained with the republicans. Just how the democrats brought about such . thing as $14,000,000 deficit without g. 0. D. aid is hard to understand. However, as matter of fact this deficit could be explained by asking what republicans really did for the state during the years that treasury balances were being main- tained. Nothing save to pay ordinary expenses.

Hearing and sight alike are gone, Or almost so; the running gears Bob dimly--nothing more. It seems That we are moving in dreams Circumference; or brittle niche Of time; narrow groove from which, Like Tipping of printed page We might invade another age: Utopian New Atlantis. or

those of the President, are the most heavily attended of any in Washington. '. Personal Triumph
 The campaign now closing has been a great personal triumph for Jim. From the role of whip ping-boy of the New Deal, HE HAS EMERGED AS THE LIN. DISPUTED RULER OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE AND THE CAMPAIGN.
 Here he has been right in his element. Jim's original handicap was that he didn't know the United States existed west of the Hudson river. When 1t came to making speeches out in the prairie states, he was what his name in the old English indicates---"ferley," "a strange sight,.
 But at machine politics he is superb. He knows the bosses of every state and municipal demo- cratic machine in the United States, and Furthermore he knows just how far he can depend on them. AT POLITICAL ORGAN IzATION JIM IS A GENIUS. EVEN REPUBLICAN, NATIONAL CHAIRMAN HAMILTON, MORE THAN ONCE, HAS BITTERLY AND WISTFULLY--ATTESTED TO THAT FACT.
 Exit Farley
 Naturally, Jim is proud of his work and success.
 There was q time, 6 year or so ago, when he hankered to be governor of New York, with visions of eventually going to the senate in place of Senator Royal s. Copeland, whom he secretly dislikes just as much as Cope land dislikes him.
 Jim still harbors those ambi- tions. But, being a realist, he knows that his chances are pretty slim.
 RIGHT NOW HE IS INTER- ED ED SiNLh kN WV AHANNo' FIRST, A LANDSLIDE e RE- ELECTION OF THE PREST- DENT; SECOND, A BIG-MONEY JOB AFTER THE FIRST or THE YEAR.

What, No Seats!

me plaLIOrm upon Wnlcn Cnc aspirant for democratic Congress man J. Joseph Smiths place in Washington is running is as fog eyed as the republican state and national ones. Those expressions or vacuity are devoid of any im- portant issues. But Candidate Up- son is a nothing If not resourceful. Noticing the absence of a program or an idea in the party plat forms, MT. Upson created an issue out of his own brilliant intelli- gence. It was not a balanced budget. Q sound currency, the Constitution. or any of the bilge with which the national nostrils have been offended. MIR. UPSON WANTS ALL THE CHAIRS RE- MOVED FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES so THAT CONGRESSMEN WILL HAVE NO PLACE TO SIT DOWN. It Is, as any fair-minded person must admit, 6 step in the right direction of governmental econ omy. The chairs can either be sold to secondhand furniture dealers or peddled out to souvenir collectors or broken up and used for firewood to stoke the Capitol furnaces. A nickel saved is q nickel saved, is Mir. Upson's idea and any suggestion which will help to re- duce the national debt should re- ceive attention. The idea back of the republican town committee chairman land the chairman of the Associated CoIored RepublI- can Clubs of Waterbury to boot {. Is sound as well as economic. The Upsonian theory is that congress- men sit and do nothing whereas if they had nothing to sit on they would stand on their feet and do something for the country's ben- eft. Make 'em stand up if they want to talk and they won't talk SO much," is J. Warren's slogan. In all modesty this department offers two Improvements on Mir. Upson's plan: Leave the congress- men their chairs but cut out the seat of their pants. Or take away the shoes and socks as well as the chairs and make the legislators of the lower house do their talk ing in their bare feet. On second thought maybe the Upson issue is not so hot. I think the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals would not like 1t. After all 1t is too much to expect any democratic representative to have "dogs" as strong. large, and sub- stantial as MT. Upson's.

UdCk JO I)IlNdIC lliC'
 And behind that lies 8 story.
 IN ITS EARLIER STAGES, of youngster whose saloon- keeper father was killed by a horse when Farley was eleven, who managed to get a little schooling while working in his mothers grocery store, in a brick yard and in a shipyard, and who pulled himself up from an itin- erant peddler of gypsum to the chief supplier of building ma terials in New York city.
 AND IN ITS LATER STAGES with which we are primarily concerned--it is a story of MT. Rooseyelts postmaster general, who two years ago was on the edge of the political precipicc, but who now has stage-managed one of the most efficient presi- dental campaigns in history.
 FOR, WHETHER YOU LIKE JIM OR NOT, YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM THE FACT THAT AS A CAMPAIGN MANAGER HE IS GOOD. HE HAS TAKEN MORE ON THE CHIN. sQUAWKED LESS AND STOOD UP BETTER IN THE CLINCHES THAN ALMOST ANY OTHER OF HIS EX-CABINET COL LEAGUES.
 Huey's Charges
 There was a time when 1t looked as if Jim Farley's political life would not last the night. Few people knew how near the brink he was. It happened when Huey Long was airing his charges in 1885. Hucy was then at the crest of his popularity. Jim was at the bottom of his.
 Franklin Roosevelt knew that. He has a habit of dropping over board those who become political dcadweight, and Farley was defin- itely in that category.
 so ROOSEVELT LET BIG JIM FIGHT HIS OWN BATTLES. STEW IN HIS OWN JUICE.
 Jim, always loyal to his chief, worried plenty, said nothing. But like any wife, Bess Farley was en- ragged. She blamed Jim for ever working for a man like that. She pointed out that he had spent all his savings on politics, that they could not afford car, that she and the children had to ride in taxis =.
 "WhiIe you," she stormed. "whiIe you spend your time making political speeches"
 Jim Farley is n very patient man. He said nothing to his wife and he said nothing to Franklin Roosevelt. But he put up a de- fense to Huey Longs senate committee which cleared him completely--and the committee contained some hard-boiled cus- toners.
 Trigger-Man
 The truth is Jim has had to take the rap on a lot of stuff for which he was not responsible. Jim is a machine politician - and would be the last to deny or apologize for 1t. But certain ran cid deeds credited to him are not of his doing. In machicne poll ties, like the army, you take orr ders and keep your mouth shut.
 This is not always easy for Jim. Under his appearance Of rhinoccros hide, he has the cuticle of newborn babe. And the deadcats hurled at his bald dome in retaliation for boncrs which were not his. hurt him previously. But he is too astute an operator to show 1t.
 No ncwsnan ever was berated by Big Jim for anything written about him. Jim may remark pleas antly:
 "That was a low ball you pitched me, felia." Bns 0n she surface his attitude is: "Just 70 you mention me, boys, and spell the name right"
 It is this shrewd friendlinesa that accounts for the fact that
