PHILADELPHIA IS MADE NEXT
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION Site
Committee Ratifies Reap

Delegations

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. CUP.
Business leaders of Philadelphia
last night pumped 100000 in
bright blue chips into one of the
most boisterous and costliest polk
er games ever held in the nations
capital and won the 1886 conven-
ton of the Democratic party.
The meeting opens on June 20,
Thus in one bold stroke the
New Deal ignored the far west,
cast aside the midwest and elect
ed to open it's battle for the re-
election of President Roosevelt
in the industrial east-the heart
of usually rock-ribbed Republican
territory.
The selection of Philadelphia
was made unanimous on motion OF
Senator William Gibbs Nc Adoo,
D.. Cal. who had opened the
poker game by bidding $15O,OOO
for the party meeting in the name
of San Francisco, and later out
bid Philadelphia by $1,000 seeking
to secure the convention for the
west. -, ,,,o4
Chicago business leaders met
this bid-but didn't increase IT;
They emphasized the politlcaail
vaIue of having Mr.. Rooseyeit
come back to the scene of Garner
triumphs. r,o cuf
A resolution by Mrs. Emma Gut-
few Miller, Democratic commit
teewoman from Pennsylvania was was
! adopted. proposing that the 1886
convention consider Recommended
tions bv the 1882 convention on
tbn question of changing the two
tbirJS rnin now required for nomi-
nation of president and wee pres
ident. Party leaders, however
emphasized that no plans in con-
nertion with this controversial Is
sue had been made.
In stressing to members that
Democrats have a hard fight
abead, Farley attacked financial
%on@sters whose exhortations were
So largely responsible for bring

mitted frankly that the govern,

was getting out rapidly and would

Farley made it plain. as die
Mr.. Roosevelt in his Jackson day
dinner speech Wednesday, that
New Deal again would seek sup

and other factions of independ
ent voters.
The delegates became seriou!
long enough to pass a resolution

some of their colleagues includ

The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-07-09
Yesterdays Best Story

The doubled -barreled protest yesterday of Waterbury'S twin protectors Of the commonweal, the Republican and the American respectively, against the board. of aldermen's action in refusing to re-arrange the present voting district set up, might easily be said to have been the days best continued story = continued as 1t were in serial form from the morning edition to the evening edition.
 However, anything goes for arguments sake, especially when the subject Of the argument = in the present instance, the democratic administration = is anathema to the front office. The line of reasoning of one paper was more stupid than the other, so much so that it would be hard to decide which to award the dunce's cap.
 In the first place the a. m. barrel of Printers Court twin-barreled putty blower hit upon the fantastic "rumored" asser- tion that the redistricting was blocked to save Senator Joseph Lawlor's scalp. Chairman John Crary blasted that bit Of reasoning to the full satisfaction ofevery- one in last nights Democrat. Senator Lawlor gets the same number of pro- spective votes either with twenty, twenty five or fifty districts Simple arithmetic for anyone but the editor of the Republican.
 Then the p. m. edition of the same newspaper outfit, designated for the sake of identity, the American, raises the objection that the democratic members of the Board of Alderment see in the Tedistricting plan possibility that more republicans might get to the polls. Horrors, are there any more republicans than were carried, wheeled, or assisted, to the polls at the last city election? Every wheel-chair in town was begged, borrowed, or stolen, for the occasion. Tn view of the fact that the new voters registration showed preponderance democratically inclined 1t would seem that Mayor Hayes and the democratic party might have lost at least vote or two in the crowded second and fifth districts. Yet they haven't made any protest.
 And finally the penalties: the Repub- lican, if Senator Lawlor is behind this latest perfidy, urges the voters to repudi- ate him. We believe this paper, or it's bitter half, remarked something about insulting voters intelligence month or two back, when called on to do little repudiating in another neck of the woods. o temporal O mores!
 In conclusion the republican town ctairman's J. Warren Upsons, judicious statement, that party guilty of such action "mny rightly be made the object of general, non-partisan attack" caps the climax Sounds like three-alarm fire, or call for the National Guard. In any event now that J. Warren has spoken, democrats better beware, or the gobblins will get them, if the don't watch out.

Expanding Power

The most spectacular recent business gain has been made by the electric power Industry. The Edison Institute which makes weekly reports of power produc- ton finds that in the week ended June 27 a new all-time high was reached = 2,O20,000 kilowatt hours. It exceeded by 25 million units the record set last December when long winter evenings and millions of illuminated Christmas trees combined to push power consump- ton to peak.
 Many factors have united to boost power consumption in June, the month with the most daylight and supposedly the least need of electricity. First is the widening field of uses of electric power in homes as well as in factories and bus mess places, in rural sections as in cities. Another is the lower rates which bring new buyers of electric equipment into the market and encourage all to use more power. There seems to be little juStifi- cation for utility complaints against government competition while their own business expands at it's present rate.

them down to their own level. Instead of that. though, we will listen Go a lot Of blather from both sides of the fence, particularly about democratic mistakes. of course the democrats have made mis- takes and will continue to make mistakes. But republicans ought to speak about them in lower tone of voice, for there are very few mistakes in the political lexicon that the republicans didn't make from 1921 to 1883.
 That was twelve years of toll and trouble in which everything that was firm and fundamental in this grand old na- ton went by the boards. But it was all right then, because the men who control the money-bag strings were satisfied and they ruled the roost, although most of the voters who put the republican presidents into office didn't see these barons' names on the election tickets. When MT. Brown says, "The man at the helm has abso- lutely no conception of how to guide the ship of state and think it's high time we made change" he's merely slipping into political diction without even both ering to win nomination for any office.

Beavers As Allies

Reading what Grey Owl, famous Ca- nadian trapper, has to say about beavers, it is natural to wonder whether our state and federal governments have considered the merits of this almost human animal as an ally in forestation and flood pre- vention.
 "The beaver occupies a place in the wilderness that could not be filled by any other animal, or even man himself The re-introduction of beaver into a country has a direct bearing on forest preservation, in the direction of fire con- trol and conservation of water supply. In sections where beaver are not present, the spring freshet caused by melting snow is rapidly dissipated and lost, leav- ing small lakes and streams in condi- tion to be dried out or reduced to puddleS In districts where there are flourishing beaver colonies, they build immense dams which retain much of the flood. In their career of useful industry they re- establish a well controlled system of small waterways. By this means ade- quate supplies of water may be on hand to fight fires, and these waters will also provide useful fire-breaks.
 Another useful purpose they fulfill is keeping in navigable conditions, by a series of locks, small streams now un- navigable, that would provide short cuts for canoemen. The beaver formerly conserved large heads of water in districts where since his removal, there is now shortage" If all this is true, beavers may be almost as valuable as trees and con- crete dams in regions that lately have suffered from disastrous floods.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-07-09

It's hard for the average Waterburian to imagine temperatures that range as high as no, 115 and 118 degrees such as are now being reported from the wheat regions of the Great Plains regions of this nation. And 1t is equally hard for us to imagine mile after mile of arid country that once blossomed with heavy-laden grain stalks. Yet imagine that we should, for the drought must bring home to thousands of New Englanders how fortu- nate is their lot in this life. True, we were a bit disturbed last spring when the Connecticut and other rivers over- flowed their banks and did immense property damage. But our plight, even then, was nothing as compared to that which faces the grain farmer and live stock owner of the Middle West. Year after year now he has watched the sun bake brown his fields. Is there no way of preventing such climatic changes as this? Can't science solve the problem of the years of drought and plenty, equalizing them?

Inspections Criticized
Auto Lanes Work in Theory, but Not in Practice Some Other Means of Checking Motor
 Vehicles for Defects Should Be Found
HARTFORD CoURANT

The fact that 100000 motor vc- hicles in the state have not yet been inspected and that, even If the lanes are used to capacity in the few remaining days, more than 20,- 900 will be uninspected when the deadiine is reached on the evening of July il is not e valid criticism of the principle that automobiles should be inspected by the state. It does, however, indicate Q preSs- ing need for revision of the Sys- tenn the state has set up for the inspection of motor vehicles. Theo- reticaliy, the method devised by the Department of Motor Vehicles should work. Actually, 1t doesn't due to the procrastination of the mos toring public, which has demon- strated only too clearly It's willing. ness, despite warnings to put off the inspections till the last possible minute.
 A number of alternative methods have been proposed. It has been suggested that Connecticut follow the example of some other states. notably Massachusetts and Pennsyl-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-07-09

vafiia, which have mandatory ia- spections but permit private garages to make them under the super vision of state authorities. Attrac- tice As the plan may sound to the motorist who has waited in line ct the Connecticut inspection rtations, the fact seems to be that garage inspections arc not on the whole as efficient and that the obvious op. portunities for favorltisfii are not overlooked by the garagemen. An- other proposal has been to return to the plan tried out last fail when motorists were notified to appear at the inspection stations during Q specified period. Experience, how ever, showed that, not only did most of tho motorists put their inspections off ag long as possible with resulting congestion ct the end of each period but that many of them paid no attention to the
 notices.
 Some IS per cent of oil automobile accidents are caused, according to the National Safety Council, by de- fective equipment of the sort that the inspections are intended to eliminate. The possibility of re. ducing 50 considerable c portion of the utlnecegsary accidents Is 50 attractive that motorists ought to be willing to undergo c certain amount of inconvenience to gain the aS- stirance the inspections give. On the other hand, however, the state ought to Dc able to devise \ system of inspections that will not result in the present condition, in which 6 small army of operators cannot have their cars inspected before the expiration of the time limit no mat ter how good their intentions.

'Democratic Mistakes"

States Attorney Arthur M. Brown isn't overlooking chance to convince the public of this state that he is going to be the republican candidate for the gover- norship next fall. Even if there are few other eligibles in the party ranks, the New London county official seems to have the inside track SO far as speaking for the party in this state and leading the attack on the strong democratic cita- deIs. We wish. though, that the States Attorney would be more direct in his at- tack and simply say for the benefit of all, "You fellows are in and we republi- cans are going to try to get you out"
 That would probably express the sem timents of most republicans as we'll as other political party adherents. Demo cfats are in; the outs are trying to pull

 A. Probably because they were originally discovered growing utl. der Tnown grass.
 c. Why arc heifer calves born aS twins with bulls, usually sterile?
 A. The cause of the phenomenon has been worked out independently by two German professors and an American professor at the Univcr. sity of Chicago. They found that the blood systems of cattle twins usually grow together. When both twins are females or males, no harm resulted. When c female iS the twin of q male the development of the former appears wholly nor" mai in the few cases in which the blood systems remain separate, but in oil cases in which the blood gys- tems arc, connected, the female showed abnormal development, inc termediate between that of female and male.

Commissioner Michael Connor's report on the menace of the drunken pedestrian is rather interesting It's also good food for temperance campaigns, as well as for the prohibitionists. The commissioner says, "Connecticut is having and will have more trouble with intoxicated pedestrians than with operators under the influence or bordering on that condition since very little control is exercised over foot traffic which contributes so much to the hazards confronting motor vehicle operators on our highways" This Is new angle to be studied and solved. Let's at it.
