 Due to the failure of Frederick Puckey and Terrence O'Eeill to se- cure a designation on the union party ticket as a candidat, for con- gress from this district, it is imper- ative that this matter ts discussed and 8 decision reached at this meet ing by the assembly as to just which one of these two men the union party will endorse to run as a write in' or "sticker candidate carrying the united support of the several thousands of members of the N. U. S. J. in the 5th congressional district. The state law of Connecticut permits the electorate of this state to vote for 8 candidate for public office not nominated by any political party by writing in" the name of the en- dorsed candidate on the voting ma- chimes or by ''sticker vote" on the voting machines. The members ot the N. U. s. J. cannot support J. Joseph Smith the present democrat ic congressional incumbent from this district due to his action against the Frazier-Lemke bill in congress, which action definitely placed him on the side of the money-changers and as opposed to the general well fare of his constituents as regard to monetary principles.

 O'Neill Will Oppose
 It is a well known fact that Sup- porters of O'Neill will oppose any endorsement of Puckey and that the latter'S packers are sure to oppose any endorsement of the Oxford man. If a write in" candidate is approved today he will be a third party if the Puckey- O'Neill forces become dead locked.
 Mrs. Erne.S Hespelt of this city, vice-preSident of the 5th congress sional district organization of the N. U. s. J. has issued a statement pointing out that tonignt's meeting is not sponsored by the organization she represents. The opinion was rampant that the N. U. s. J. was sponsoring the session because of the fact that Crowley in his call for the session asked all N. U. S. J. members in the 5th district to be present.
 Crowley Statement
 The Crowley message was given out by Edward J. Fox of this city. According to the statement the fail- ure of Congressman Smith and Att torney Upson to support the N. U. s. J. principles makes it necessary to have somebody run on write

even more, it means relaxation. 1t
means giving up responsibilities and
worries and hard work. And the
majority of the people with high
blood pressure have spent all their
lives accommodating responsibilities.
Not only their own, but lots of those
quite strange to them. 1t is a
wrench to give them up. They have
gone so long complaining about their
responsibilities-th is that son of

surprise to them to find that they
are not glad to give up these loads
at all. When they are gone, there
will be nothing to complain about
except the weather.
But when the tooth is out, there is
really great feeling of relief. When
the relaxation comes, they realize
that they haven't really done it for
years.

A CLERICAL RACKETEER.

\hllZdDeIn OlIy independently
The Rev. Father Chas. E. Coughlin,
Detroit's loud mouthed radio priest,
is a pain in the neck. One of his latest
capers is to place a bet of $4,000 with
a Providence r. l. business man, that
William Lemke, the union party can
didate, will poll more votes in Rhode
Island, than the Republican ALT Ian
don. If such campaign betting by an
active priest has the blessings of the
Holy See, then l must revise my es-
innate of the character of the head
of the Roman Catholic church, form
ed when l was privileged to see and
study his benign and intelligent coun-
tenance while in Rome few years
ago.
Coughlins bet betrays the cheap
racketeer underneath his priestly
garb. His Providence bet was the
more feprehensible because he placed
it with a string tied to it, making the
bet conditional upon his followers in
Providence raising the stake.
Our. election laws disqualify any
person from voting who places a bet
on the election in question. Father
Coughlin would therefore invite the
disfranchisement of every voter in
Providence who would contribute to
his bet. And this mountebank In
cleircs garb boasts of his good
