The Game Is On

The Grand old Party is assembled in Cleveland today to decide it's future course of action in the field of national politics. Well, might its leaders ponder long on the outcome of this quadrennial convention. It is a crucial one, one that might easily spell the end of party which long claimed that its name was synonomouS with prosperity, yet which allowed one of the greatest financial depressionS to beset the nation without lifting hand to divert 1t.
 A great many statements will be made in the next two or three days to which the average man won't pay the slightest bit of attention. There will be many utter ances, though, to which it would be wise to give heed For, if we are not mistaken, republican spell-binderS are going to endeavor to show how the New Deal, to which so many of them including the prime favorites in the race for nomina- tions, gave lip service, has failed of it's purpose. We doubt if any one of them, though, will present practical plan to substitute for the New Deal
 Thus we would If we were to accept the republican offer that is anticipated, be returned to condition that existed just as Herbert Hoover left the White House. Republicans knew not which way to turn, for their traditional and hide bound conventions tied them down. They could not, of course, throw of the shackles If Wall Street of the vested interests without cutting the props from under themselves How then can this party hope to keep pace with the rapid strides made in government throughout Presi- dent RooSevelt's administration without endorsing in part or whole his plan of procedure?
 We shall see how it can be done with few simple twists of speech, for that's the only conceivable way the g. o. p. exhorters can get their tongues around the national issues of today. We expect much to- morrow from the speakers-much in the way of promises and charges, but what of solid facts. We doubt very much if the great mass of voters in the United States are going to trade Roosevelt and results for Landon, Knox, Borah, ct alia and theories.

Is It An Exposure?

A special correspondent to Social Jus tice, the weekly publication of the Ma tional Union for Social Justice, from this city writes quite lengthy article in the May 20th issue in which he or she 'ex- poses low wages in Waterbury," Accord Ing to this correspondent, who seems to have lifted quite portion of his or her article from recent issues of the Bridge port Herald, half of this city's working population earns an average which is less than $20 per week.
 In the tabulation women'S wages are rated from $8 to $10 week; men, SIS to $20. At the May report on employment, issued by the Chamber of Commerce, there were almost 32,O00 workers in Wa terbury. If we were to accept Social Jus tice's figures it would mean that 16,000 workers in our city were getting along, supporting families, paying their taxes, and in general conducting themselves as American citizens do these days on wages under $20.
 We noticed some other figures recently, too, that tell remarkable story. Of the five large cities in Connecticut Waterbury was second to Bridgeport in the increase in dividual income tax returns filed last year. There was an 18 per cent gain noted. Waterbury's returns, totaling 5,322, placed her fourth, following Hart ford, New Haven, and Bridgeport in that order.
 Many times we have heard 1t claimed that wages in various types of local in- dustry are far too low to permit a man or woman to make a decent living. If that were the case this city should long ago have been hot-bed of open rebellion, yet strikes occur rarely in this city. Few sections of it show the unmistakable signs of squalor. We hold no brief for organized greed; we recognize the right of no man to force his fellowman to bow his neck to the yoke of slavery. We do wonder, though, If all such facts as first given above are thoroughly substantiated.

When parties developed by natural division of public opinion, producing fed- eralists and republican-democrats (the former becoming eventually Whigs and then republicans, and the latter plain democrats), presidential nominations were very informal. They were made by congressional caucus, with the handful of senators (only 26 originally being the dominant factor.
 Half dozen presidents were nomin- ated in this simple way until the great precedent-smasher Andrew Jackson, was nominated by what might be called our first national convention. But the politi- cal-minded Jackson would be vastly astonisHed if he could see the elaborate festival, combining statesmanship, ora tory, music, politics, drama and circus, into which this institution has evolved

Labor Vacations

Little by little the overall worker acquires privileges formerly granted only to the white collar worker. There has been a small epidemic, in the last year or two, of pay vacations given to industrial enl- ployes. So far, the vacation is usually only a week, instead of the two weeks usually expected by office workers. But the start is the important thing. In time 1t might naturally grow to two weeks.
 The latest convert to this practice, and the first in the motor industry, is the Packard Motor Car company, which has announced weeks vacation with pay for all workers who have been with the company for year or more. It is accom- panied by credit" system which will enable workman to save up his vacations if he chooses, so as to tide him over 8 depression period. Credits accumulate at the rate of half day per months work.
 Along with this innovation goes another sign of the times. Retirement pay" is provided for employees 65 years old or more. Those with IS years or more of service, when incapable of further work, will be paid $25 for each year of service. It will amount to nice nest-egg in the case of old employees. These and other kindly industrial practices, more common in Europe than America, will doubtless grow rapidly from now on.

There is something in the complaint that many motorists are unable to have their cars examined at the official testing stations without sacrificing part of their working hours. The official hours are to daily This will accommodate many motorists, but not great many who are employed in industrial or mercantile establishments during these hours. There should be some means afforded SO that those whose work conflicts with this pro- gram may have the opportunity of being within the law, yet at the same time not being penalized by being forced to absent themselves from work. Hartford has taken the initiative in this drive to win recog- milton for those motorists who are unable to get to the testing stations between the established hours. We hope that other cities will follow the example.

We notice that liquor permits being issued for WaterburianS continue to show an increase. This is easy to under stand. The movement will in all likeli- hood continue for another full year, perhaps two Then there undoubtedly will be a reaction in the other direction. After that will come the stabilization period. The establishments that are getting the trade and are making fair returns for their owners will carry on; those that are just barely clearing expenses will fold up and depart. There need be no fear, we think, about the large number of liquor establishments now being opened here. Waterbury isn't unusual in this respect. It's just natural turn of events, and one, which we believe, will straighten itself out without any help from law makers in another year or so This rush to the liquor business was bound to result But once that those who entered 1t with the idea of making fortune realize that it's like other businesses plenty of work for big returnS-they'l retire silently from the field.

Probably Bill still remembers the convention of 1924-also held in Cleveland-when he had a chance to be vice president. Cool idge had been nominated on the first ballot. Hours of secret dee bate on his running-mate fol- lowed. Finally Postmaster Gen. eral Harry New told the party bosses:
 ''The kind of vice president you want was Cruclfied 1900 years ago."
 In the end they picked Char ley Dawes. But at that mos ment William M. Butler, Cool idge's manager, informed them: 'I have been talking by tele- phone to the White House. We must nominate BOrah for vice. president"
 Icy silence. Butler turned to Andrew w. Mellon. 'Mr, Secre- tary," he asked, "what do you think of Borah?"
 q never think { him unless someone mentions his name," replied the greatest secretary of the treasury since Alexander Hamilton.
 No wonder BOrah hates the Old Guard.
 QuestiOn-Mark Hoover
 Everyone is speculating about Hoover. What he will do, Is the big question mark.
 Contrast this to the last repub- lican convention at Chicago. On the opening day no one mem tioned him. Not Q picture of him in the convention hall.
 Hoover's pals say he is still down on Landon. The latter, in- incidentally, wrote a piece for Red Book magazine just before the big show gathered here in whcih he mentioned only two re- publican presidents-Teddy Roose- welt and Abe Lincoln.

We noticed in Fairfield county paper recently that additional land had just been bought for the Merritt Parkway right of way. We presume that by the end of this year some vague outlines of this proposed parallel route to the Boston Post Road should be visible. We certainly hope that it won't be much longer that motorists are desired the privilege of rid ing over this super-highway. Certainly if we have to keep on waiting for it, a good many of us won't live long enough to enjoy its beauties and advantages We're not hurrying the State Highway Department, just encouraging it.

Five journal, and the Herald, which especially in view of certain phases of It's Personal Column" past, belonged in the Tribune's eyes to the Lower Ten in news- paper circles. About Mfr. Block 1 know nothing except that he was c generous contributor to the fore tunes of former Mayor Jimmy. walker of New York city, is an ir-I reconcilable enemy Of the New Deal, and the publisher of string of papers. But compared with the background of the Herald Tribune his is that of veritable parve1,l, Q Johnny Newcomer, . journalistic mushroom to whom Q nod of Tec- cgnition from the H-T would be an honor and on the Herald- Tribune's part an act of supreme condescension.

Our Biggest Show

Our greatest public events, a China man or Martian might say, are our World Series baseball games and our political conventions. Both are unique. It seems strange that there could ever have been a time when there were no political conventions. The Constitution made no provision for national parties There were none in Washington's time, and he warned the nation against them.

 A lot of familiar figures at past republican conventions are miss ing today.
 There is Hiram Johnson of California, for years stormy fig ure in republican politics. He was offered the vice presidency with Harding, but turned 1t down. It would have made him presi- dent instead of Coolidge. Hiram now has the blessing of the New Deal.
 Then there is Frank o. Lowden, now 75 years old and living in quiet retirement on his model farm at Oregon, Ill.,
 General Leonard Wood, whose deadlock with Lowden and Jofln- son caused the hopeless deadlock of 1920. /is dead now. So is Hard- ing, who finally won out. At il Q. m. Harding told friends he was quitting politics to devote his time to newspaper work. At 6:15 ?. m. he was nominated.
 And Charles Evans Hughes, for years a familiar figure at re- publican conventional Remember the letetr he wrote Woodrow Wil- son, resigning from the Supreme Court in order to run against him in 1918? It merely said:
 "T0 the President: I hereby resign the office of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. I am, sir, respectfully yours, Charles Ev- ans Hughes"
 Almost as brief as the belated letter of congratulations which Hughes finally sent Wilso natter Wilson's victory.
 Landon-M McKinley
 Some of those around the con- vention Hobbies who are not 50 hopeful of defeating Roosevelt seem to think Landon is Q fool to be pushed into the present race. They think he ought to save save himself for 1940.
 They recall the republican con- vention ofb 1892, held at Min- neapolis to renominate Harrison. This was done on the first bal- lot, but Mckinley got 182 votes. At the end of the balloting Mark Hanna burst into McKinleys hoe tel room, exclaiming:
 "Well, William, that was what I call damned tight squeak"
 Hanna was afraid Cleveland would win, was grooming Me- Kinley for four years later. And he was right.
 |. .Land0n, however, figures that opportunity knocks but once. Governor Nominees
 If Governor Landon is nomin- ated he will be the eighth state executive since 1040 to be chosen as standard bearer of e major party while still serving as gov- ernor.
 The others were Tilden, Cleve- land, Wilson, Cox, Smith and F. D. Roosevelt, democrats: and Hayes, republican. Four of the seven-C Cleveland, Wilson, Rooser welt and Eayes-were elected.
 Tn addition to these eight, other candidates had been governors prior to their presidential nom- nation. They are ". 1T. Harri- son, Van Buren, Polk, Seymour, Mckinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Hughes. La Toilette and Coolidge.
 If Iandon is chosen it will be the third time that the repub- leans have gone west of the Mis- sissippi for their nominee. Fre- mont. the party's first candidate. was e resident of California when nominated in 1e6o. He was not, however, 6 native of the state. Hoover, also. was c California residen when nominated in 1928. but Was born in Iowa.

Selected Poem
URBAN MORNING

The naked shape of light becomes emphatic, Tangible, almost, between the spires Where clocks toll out the seven chimes prophetic Of screeching tires
 And pallid faces, curiously alike, That burst like popcorn from the subway tunnel; Eight o'clock means thrilling cries of "etrikel" Or Lost at Seal" and whistling cops who channel The trucks and limousines and people Overhead, above the lowest steeple In back of smoke that hovers like . cloud, The sun is crouching. permanently cowed.

Both Wrong

I cannot see the sense of MT. Blocks reminder that his coalition inspiration was crawling about on ell fours saying "Ga-gal" before the Herald -Tribune's inspiration was conceived let alone bor1.. Years ago Q vaudeville nlonologisb used to tell about two cities, Roch- ester and Buffalo, fighting over his place of birth. Rochester said he was born in Buffalo, end Buff falo said he was born In Roches- ter. If Q coalition ticket should be nominated in Cleveland this week 1t will be in for . beautiful shel- lacking at the polls in November. If Mir. Block had kept the money for his paid advertisement in his jeans no one would have known that the coalition idea was his. He could then have said that the inc spiration for 1t should be credited to the Herald Tribune. If the Herald Tribune had put something sensible on its front page of June 2 instead of It's For Coalition at Cleveland box, 1t could have thrown all the blame on MT. Paul Block for the coming debacle.
