VOTE ACCEPTANCE
 OF RESIGNATION
Rev. W. Moret0n Owen to Be Relieved of Pastor
 ate Next January

Parishioners of the Bunker Hill Congregational church, meeting last night in special session, voted to accept the resignation of Rev. w. Moreton Owen, pastor, to take ef- feet January 3, 1897. Rev. MT. Owen will remain beyond that time if successor has not been selected.
 MT. Owen said he was resigning in order that direction of the parish might be taken over by younger and stronger man. He thanked his parishioners for their cooperation with him during his years of service
 The text of MT. Owens resigna- tion follows:
 To the Members of
 Bunker Hill Congregational Church. Waterbury, Conn.
 My dear friends:
 Realizing that Bunker Hill Congregational church needs the strongest possible leadership for its future, perhaps especially fo rthe next few years, and be- lieving that this will be best assured by the pastorate of younger and stronger man than myself, I hereby resign the office of pastor and Bun- ker Hill Congregational church to take effect January 3, 1897, or, at the discretion of the church, to take effect at some subsequent date m 1887.
 It would be impossible for me to fully testify to what our fellowship with Bunker Hill church has meant to Mrs. Owen and myself during these nearly IS happy years that we have spent here. We are profoundly grateful for all the great kindnesses that have been bestowed upon us, and we have rejoiced in this splendid helo for service. As look back, I am op- pressed by the realization Of much failure on my part to meet the needs and challenges of my task. 10only hope that, some really permanent results have been accomplished. l pray that all the selfsacrifice or those who in years past have gwen of their strength and substance for this part of Gods work, ana the sacrifice of those who are now carrying on with like devotion - l pray that this spirit of dedication may bring our beloved Bunker Hiii church to richer fruitfulness than ever before. ,
 Herein is My Father glorifleo, said our Master, that ye bear mucn fruit; and so shall ye be My disciples" .,
 Faithfully, your friend,
 (Signed)

Norris Battle For Re Election
 Gives Nebraska Weird Political
 Setup For November Election
Party Lines Go To; Discard In
 Hot Fight
BY H. H. GRUENTHER NEA Service Special .. COrreSpOndent

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 25.-A strange batch Of political dough is being mixed a Nebraska. What kind of cake is coming out of the oven in November is a puzzle.
 The first ingredient is Senator George Norris, who has deserted his own republican party and come out strongly for RooSevelt's- and his own reelection.
 Next comes Edward R. Burke, democratic junior senator, who re- signed as democratic national cem- mitteen1an because there were cer- tain features ofsthe New Deal pro- gram of which he did not approve and he wished to be free to support or criticize as he chose. .
 Yet Burke is strongly supporting the reelection of the nominally Re- publican Norris rather than the democratic csandidate for Norris seat, former Congressman Terry Carpenter.
 William Ritchie, a power in democratic politics in the state, has renounced Roosevelt and has come out Aatly for Landon.
 Old Foe Backs Norris ,.
 Arthur Mullen, democratic boss in the state, heretofore foe of Nor ris, floor manager for Roosevelt at Chicago in '32, has been more or less out of the political ranks since President Roosevelt publicly humili- ated Mullen by including him in the group asked to resign as na- tional committeeman or forsake their political lobbying and law practice in Washington.
 But Mullen is back in the har- ness again, strongly supproting the president and Norris. This is odd, because Norris and Mullen have long been bitter enemies. In fact' not so long ago Norris threatened a congressional investigation into Null lens activities in connection with legal work and fees charges for ob- taining PWA grants for Nebraska
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-25

projects.
 Because of these strange line ups, the political future of Senator Norris is in grave peril. And it looks as if his own work in getting $20,- 100000 for PWA project for his state might rise up now to haunt him.
 Norris Loses Backers
 Norris was active in getting $20,- COG, ,000 allocated for what is known as the Tri-C County Power and IT, rigation project. The only way the area involved can get water is to divert it from the Platte river wa tershed. Residents living along the Platte are up in arms over the pro- posal to divert water from their river valley.
 So while Senator Norris has gained support from residents liv- ing in the Tri-C County area, he has lost backing among those living along the Platte river-and the lat ter are two or three to one in the majority.
 Four years ago Roosevelt won the state by 15S,0o0 votes. Two years ago, the senator, the governor, and four of the five congressman, all running on a New Deal program, were elected.
 While the president has lost sup port, 1t. is not believed he has lost enough to be defeated, in spite of the abundance of "fayorite son" sentiment which comes over the border line from Governor Landon's state of Kansas.
 Refuses to Run
 Early this year Senator Norris commenced to indicate that he would like to retire. He had repre- sented Nebraska since 1902 by vir- tue of five terms as representative and four as senator.
 Both the democratic an drepub- lican parties invited Norris to be a candidate in their primaries, but he refused. So the republicans nomi- mated Robert Simmons, five times congressman, and the democrats nominated Terry Carpenter, elected to congress in 1882 at the age of g.
 Carpenter has the support of the Coughlinites, and advocates numer- ous "isns" having an appeal to the masses.
 Splits Democratic Vote
 Following the primaries, PreSi- dent Roosevelt asked Senator Nor ris to become a candidate. Senator Burke assured oNrris of democratic support in the state. Burke was even instrumental in getting the democratic state convention to re- nounce its own candidate, Carpen- ter, and endorse Norris. | A petition with 40,000 names finally induced Norris to accept the call, so once more he is 8 candidate for the senate, "
 This time, however, Norris will have the active opposition of the republicans. Not many will vote for Landon and Norris. On the other hand, the Roosevelt voters will be supporting Roosevelt and dividing hteir votes between Norris and Car penter, because both will run on 8 "support Roosevelt" platform. So Carpenter will cut into the Norris strength. But Nebraska po- litical students believe that If Nor his actually wants the ofice-ar1d vigorously campaigns for it-he will be reelected.
 Norris has scared the democratic leaders, however, by saying that the paramount issue is the reelection of President Roosevelt. Senator Norris further says that he is going to campaign over the country in behalf of the president-that his own election is of little importance. Urge Carpenter to Quit
 But his followers think other wise. They want him elected. Ills enemies want him defeated. There is already evidence of an abundance
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-25

of money for both sides.
 Meanwhile, an effort is being made to get Carpenter out of the senatorial race. With Carpenter out, Norris would have an easy time. As long as Carpenter stays in the race, he not only perils his own political future, but seriously threatens the election of Senator Norris.
 Even his own supporters believe Carpenter cannot be elected. The best he can did is to defeat Norris and elect Simmons.

THE LEGIoNNAIREs

Across the fields of France they come,
 Some worn and torn by sword and shell; Some whisper low in No Mans Land
 Beneath gray skies where comrades Tell Deep in our hearts these heroes live, In kindly word, and warm -clasped hand The ever living noble dead
 Come from the heart of every land. On Alsaces plain the fog has fled
 Before the night-winds wandring feet; Here are the graves that mark their way
 The breast of earth was ne'er so sweet So beat the drums, and sound the fife:
 There must be rhythm where there's life.
