Happy memories. Removal of the M. A. Green 1ewery house from the old Democrat building at 71-7S Grand Street to the OConnor block Bank Street sure 1y must stir up host of memories in some ofhe od-time Waterbury families Both structures are familiar to
 the present generation but also played some part in the old days The latter is of course considerably older than the Grand Street structure which was built in 1895 for the Democrat housed prior to that on South Main Street The O'Connor block has quite history to tell if only it could speak. We leave some of 1t to others to recall. But can't help pointing to the old Thama Club which had it's quarters here for many years Famous in it's day this glorious old organ ization studded with many that are still found in our midst If we're not mistaken the Laures also held forth at time in this block Of course the old and respected firm of Ryan and Fitzmaurice sold shoes there for years later to become the Thomas w. FitSmaurice company. Still later to become the shoe store of the late John Sherwood. And for long years pr. E. w. Mover has maintained his dental office in the building Dr. Mover for years was included among a small group of local business and fraternal men who were the best-known trout fishermen in town His- tory in these older buildings of ours

coming battle in steel and rubber Ito turn the automobile and parts" factories into one vast industrial. "all-covering" union, is on here in the Detroit country. It has it's def- mite political side, because the leaders, from John L. Lewis down, are pledged to Franklin Roosevelt.
 It seems plausible to suppose that unions' vigorous support of Roose" welt and the present administration, is returned by ct least the good wishes and tacit support of the White House in this historic attempt to organize the mighty rlass-pro- duction industries of the country. Labor sticking its chin out for Roosevelt forces him definitely into its camp. It means that class lines are rapidly being drawn in this campaign--as in the great industrial war that is starting.
 
 Shift in Scene Since '32
 In this automobile center of the world, the workers are definitely TOT Roosevelt. Against these manual iaborers stand the disgruntled, anti. Roosevelt voters of the middle class, biz business men of all kinds, and many normally Republican voters who four years ago voted for Roose- welt as Q protest against Hoover and now are hurrying back into the fold to cast c protest vote in favor of Landon.
 So in Michigan as elsewhere in the manufacturing states, 1t w sim- ply a question of counting noses. Are there more industrial workers, small business and professional men who have been helped by the tide of gov. ernment money, and small dirt farmers who have directly benefited by AAA or erosion and conserva. ton checks, than there are those who oppose Roosevelt and all his works?
 Now in viewing Michigans po- litical set-up two things must be kept in mind; first, there is . good deal of inner bitterness over the governorship; and Michigan until four years ago has always been q rock ribbed, sure-fre Republican state.
 In '32 Roosevelt carried the state by 13l,800 over Hoover--Wayne County (Detroit) alone giving him just under 8 100000 lead, out Of ms total majority of 3i,000. Tn other words, in all Michigan, outside oI Detroit and Wayne County, he had in 1882 a bare 1000 majority. TO

 A Republican Speaks
 A high city official of Detroit, who incidentally iS an independent Republican, laid out the political background for me in this manner: Tn the first six months of 1882 everything and everybody in Detroit was down in the dumps. We made less than 100000 cars in the whole period. The first six months of thB year 2,4O0,000 units rolled off the assembly lines. In our industrial cities motors control every bit Of our prosperity. With them, Of course, are included oil the various parts factories and accessories of every kind. Michigan b prosperous when our motor makers are prosperous. And with 10000 cars rolling out every week you can bet we're pros. porous now. The pig fellows dont Five Roosevelt the credit for this but the little fellows who answer tne

Another Mixed.Up Issue

It is easy to get mixed up on ont campaign issue when you hear cer' tain "WPA workers" or "CCC work. CTS" have or have not been required to furnish political endorsements k get their jobs.
 If . politician means that WPA is hiring work-reIlef labor at WPA wage scales or eco boys at the $3O . month eco pay on .
 political basis, that's one thing. If he means that administrative eTn. plOyes, from supervisors and fore.
 men up, gre being required to show political backing, that's aiA. other.
 There's something more nause- ating about the idea that subsist- ence wages used as substitutes for dole to avert starvation are co1- ditioned on politics.
 Republican Manager John Ham. Ilton has answered Democratic Manager Jim Farley's question:
 Has anybody who is listening to his speech ever heard of man or woman being asked whether he or she is 6 democrat or 6 republi- can before getting the dole or any emergecy job?"
 Some Politics in. Relief
 It's Q fair guess that Farley meant recipients of cash or work relief, although he may have fig- ured listeners would think he cov- cred more ground.
 But Hamilton comes back with evidence that an applicant for . Job as . nOn-technlcal foreman in . eco camp was asked by .WyomIng's Governor Miller to All out an application blank requir- ing him to give hIs political Tec- ord.
 Evidence that work-reliefers and eco enrollees have been required t. leap political hurdles hasn't vel appeared-although 1t may, loca local politicians being what they SC often are.
 Tn many states, however, WPA administrative staffs and of CCc nontechnical foremen are employed largely on political basis. That's been true in eco since the latt Speaker Byrns and an unofficial patronage committee of congress. men went to t..e White House and put up a big holler for more pie.

 Washington, July 24-The po- sition of young Senator Rush Holt of West Virginia iS as peculiar as 4 is surprising.
 Nominated and elected as a lib. eral boy wonder while still under the required senatorial age of 35 Holt found the whole capital friend ly when he came here.
 But by his own assiduous efforts he has queered himself with the national administration, the demo- cratic machine which dominates West Virginia, the union mine workers who helped elect him, and other clements, until he is perhaps the most isolated man in the senate. He has AZ more years to serve.
 It started in . patronage row with Senator Mat Nicely and some of the Iatter's political associates, Holt stumped the state against Nicely for the May primaries and HOIdCs man was badly licked.
 Then Holt lost practically hls last friend here-at least in his own party-by flIibustering the second GufRey coal bill to death at the end of the session.
 A gob of his filibuster speech, rec cent printed in an appendix to the Congressional Record and full of tables from Aesop, gives little indi- cation of what caused Holt to keep competing for the most unpopular man" prize.
 But there's some point to Q fa- ble interpolated by Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri, who told of "the famous tenderfoot who went out to hunt bears, and upon whose tomb- stone 1t was written:
 "'He whistled for the grizzly and the grizzly came."

Landon Not ''Native Son"

Don't let anybody rib you or win any bets with cracks about the "KansaS-born candidate" for the presidency of the native son of Kansas" who Is running against Roosevelt.
 The only such presidential "aspirant" is Earl Browder, nominated by the communist party, who was born in Wichita. Governor Landon was born in Pennsylvania and lived for some years in Ohio.
