Who Takes the Bow?

I cannot make up my mino' though. who is entitled to take the bow for the McNeil-Brown act. Certainly neither the former democratic national committee man nor the Conn. Light E Power Bridgeport Hydraulic Com- uany nominee for governor. Can it be MT. James Farley whose di- rection of the poStoface depart ment has brought the mails de- livery service to such a pitch or efaciency that a letter posted from some unspecified city in the state to another unspecified city in the same state is received on the same day and within . few hours? This too with 8 stopover in Norwich long enough to have the letter opened and its contents put on a press wire before the per- son to whom it is addressed has had e chance to read it. Has MT. Farley @ flock of trained carrier pigeons flying between Bridgeport Norwich, Jewett City, and Hart ford? If he has we want the same service here in Waterbury. MT. Brown has the right to take q meat axe and 80 after any or all the prominent figures in the democratic national administra-

GllG NS4A Ay-NAO-@SNSA~~SA f~0
 Being a guest column1st today for the Merry -Go-Round IS a de- light to me. I have been waiting a long time to give Bob and Drew a draught of their own brew.
 I'm sure a great many people would like to have the low-doWn on how they get their stuff. In the first place, they have a great many friends and 8 wide circle of acuuaintances in official Wash ington. I have heard many damn Allen, but no one really hates him, Drew is the diplomat of the pair. A great team 1t is, too, as different as two people can be.
 Hatton W. Summers, the seri- ous chairman of the judiciary committee of the house, once said to them, after reading a Merry Go-Round column containing irl- side information of his own com- mittee:
 'T don't know which of these
 two fellows got this story. I
 can't make up my mind which
 of the two I like. I do know
 that I don't like one of them.
 If I could only take the two and
 scramble them together, \ think
 we would have one fellow that
 I'd like"
 That is just 1t. It so happens that the "inside story" was some thing that Hatton Summers was keeping all to himself.
 Unique Technique
 Let me tell you about their unique technique. The boys work hard. They are here, there and everywhere. They seldom appear together. That's not part of the act. Pearson is 8 recognized authority on our foreign affairs. Where he gets all the State De- .partment dope, no one seems to know. All are in agreement that what he says on foreign affairs, is correct, only often 1t is told too soon, much to the chagrin of the protocolistS.
 once charged Pearson with having an affair" with one of the charwomen who clean out the waste paper baskets of the State Department offices in the early hours of the morning. That is always a safe accusation to make, for Pearson is quite ladies man, as the nobility of the Czar's Rus sia and all points west will vouch for. Pearson was not shocked at my charge at all. He simply answered, "No that would do no good. Those gals can't read"
 Then they do the good brother act. Bob Allen will walk in to interview some senator, politician or distinguished cabinet member. Bob has a way of being quite ir- ritating when doing this little act. In fact, Bob is past master at provocatoin. He'll start to inter view his victim in a nice calm manner, then grow sarcastic and follow a slurring manner of questioning. The busy statesman naturally resents this and soon Bob succeeds in getting hi minto an argument. Always get these statesmen into an argument in- stead of an interview. especially if you are going to attack or want to get some real low down.
 At the peak of the argument, Bob will sink off and sidemouth. "All right-I'll write the story and plenty of it." Bob giggles and they all know the Allen-Pearson asbestos keyboard.
 WOund-H Healer
 Along will stroll Drew Pearson . day or so later, nonchalant, cool and friendly, to drop in to chat with the angered statesman. He's received very coldly, but Pearson proceeds to chat as if nothing had happened. Whereupon the states man invariably will say, ''NOw, l wish when you wanted Q story that you'd come along and not
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-22

send that blank, blank Bob Allen to see me"
 Then Drew will say, 'Yes, I wish could. Bob does get under peoples skins. I don't know why he does that. In fact, and this is very confidential please don't tell BOb whatever you do, I killed the story he wrote about you the other day."
 This is a relief and Pearson is in right. The statesman then proceeds to tell how fond he is of him, how he appreciates his friendship and then loosens up and tells the whole story. This is all in conversation. And 8 few days later the statesman will be wondering how all of the "in- side news" got out. Being so busy talking about himself, he does not realize that 1t was he who told the story.
 Then again, a great many inside stories are told to the boys for various reasons. First, officials have occasionally used this column as a feeler. That is why 1t happens that what is purported to be accurate, inside information, does not always come to pass. The public reaction was not right, and the officials change their plans. . You can't blame the boys for that. They must do favor once in 8 while, and rest assured they get many in return.
 Garrul0us Washington
 Then, of course, some informa- tion comes from just pure, cussed human nature. A committee men- Der is sore, a Little Cabinet per- son is peeved, some subordinate is angry and spills the beans. From this source comes great deal of information about trading,
 Another great source of infor- nation comes from the fact that Washington just loves to talk. Oh, how they love 1t! AS Bob Allen once said, a new-fashioned serla- tor and an old-fashioned cocktail make the best source of informa- tion. When the Tuxedo IS on the sordino is off.
 AND so THE MERRY-GO- ROUND MERELY KEEPS CO., ING AROUND.

Hartford, Mister, Not Kilkenny

A week ago yesterday the Wa terbury Republican had an editor ial on the row between the Right and Left Wing factions in the So- cialist party of the state. The editorial was headed SOCIAL ISTS AT KILKENNY" One sea- terce declares:
 'sThey- one body of the other --are disgruntIed, ambitions
 politicians, who are moro fnter- .ested in advancing themselves
 in public life than In uphold-
 ing orthodox Socialist prinCi-
 pleS.n
 Now I have no great affection for the philosophy of Socialism and much less for Communism which is applied Socialism. But ! have, hope, some regard for the fitness of things. After the knock down, drag-out, free-for-all staged by the republican Conn. Light 6s Power-Bridgeport Hydraulic Com- pany state convention in Hartford, it i'll becomes a local g.o.p. news paperman to mention Kilkenny. Some Kilkenny man sometime may have shied 8 bit of Q rock at another Kilkenny man. Or have laid about him too carelessly with a wisp of 8 blackthorn stick at Q fair. But the stone was shied only as a test of r1arksmanship. The blackthorn was merely used to emphasize a point in a debate on a worthwhile subject.

English Propaganda

English propaganda is respon- sible for the ignorant contemptl- ous use of the noble name of Kil- kenny as an epithet. All educated people now recognize that what the world has been led to believe maligned Kilkenny stands for is really nothing but the expression of natural exuberance and unfet- tered blitheness of spirit. In any event the rowdiest shindig alleged ever to have taken place in Kii- kenny was a kissing bee compared to the republican rookus in Hart ford on September 8th and 9th. The next time the editor of the Waterbury Republican wants 3 descriptive for something like the celebrated St Valentines day gang massacre in Chicago all he has to write is "the republican conven- ton in Hartford".I Everyone will know what he seeks to convey. But please, Mister, in the cause Of ac- curacy leave Kilkenny out of It.

Nothing Novel

SNVVAAAA9
 There was nothing specially novel in MT. McNeil dropping 8 line of approval to Mir. Brown. Candidates frequently dash of Q note to their opponents, if they happen to be personal friends, but political enemies, as sort of for nal apology for any bloody noses or black eyes passed out in the fury of the prediction fray. They are somewhat like lighters who scowl in hate and glare in ferocity at each other from their respective corners before the scrap, and who punch, heel, gouge, bite, or kick during the bout. But after everything is over the winner embraces the loser lov- ingly and the vanquished kisses the victor fondly. The contestants have been engaged in good clean American fun and neither one or the pair has had a really unkind thought about the other guy at any stage of the proceedings. The glares, scowls, punches, heelngs, gouges, bites, and kicks all go TOT Sweeney.

port Hydraulic Company state ticket will provide others in g.o.p. ranks later on. It was not anticipated, however, that former democratic national committee
 man Archibald McNeil of Bridge port would add to his already ex- tensive repertoire of impersona- tions an imitation of MT. Rora- back skipping Gov. Cross on the back by writing an open letter of. praise to the republican candidate for governor, Arthur M. Brown.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-22
Not the Same

But I doubt if Mir. Brown can cash in on election day because MT. McNeil pinned rose on hiin. when MT. Roraback praised the adnainistrations of Gov. Cross the praise was important because MT. Roraback is important. His voice has been for twenty-five years 70, the republicans of Connecticut the voice of God and the habit of a quarter of a century is not aban- doned overnight. To the demo. crats of Connecticut MT. McNen has ever been, and still remains just-Archie.

Different

In the political prize ring, how" ever. things are trifle different. A candidate may write nice things which are true to his opponent but such expressions of regard are considered strictly private com munications to be read by the op- ponent,s own eye and not to be used as campaign material. The statewide dissemination of MT. McNeil's letter to MT. Brown can hardly be viewed as following the accepted custom. Archibald might just as well have pasted it on every billboard in the state and commenced 1t with the worm eaten: ITO Whom It May Con- cern". The news of the letters dispatch broke in Norwich and its contents were wired by the United Press from that city under date line of September IT. Norwich IS only a stones throw from MT. Browns residence in Jewett City. Doubtless the letter was delivered to the news agency office in Nor wich and there opened by mistake by some correspondent named Brown who had the delusion that he had been nominated for gov- ernor on the Republican Conn. Light & Power-Bridgeport Fly draulic Company ticket.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-22
Who Did It?

Since MT. Brown declined to comment on the billet-doux when interviewed at republican state headuuarters on the same Septem- her 17th, it is evident that he did not divulge its contents to the united Press. Who did? Was the letter marked "To Be Released Be- fore Addressee Receives It.? Has someone been opening MT. Browns mail? Does Mo. McNeii talk m his sleep to reporters or does ne leave his personal correspondence lying around for the United Press to read and pass on to its suDscrln- CTS? Your guess is as good as mine and mine is that the whole performance, like the prize-ngnt- CTS, ring actions, goes for Sweeney

Skip the Socialists

Skip the Socialists
 And also refrain from regurgi- tating what Right Wing Social ists say about Left Wing Socialists. I don't know whether the accusa- ton is true that either group E made up of "disgruntled, ambt- tious politicians who are more in- terested in advancing themselves in public life than in upholding orthodox Socialist principles. But if republican Mayor Adam Roth of Danbury spoke by the book re- gently the editor of the Republican should have stayed his typewriter before he wrote the sentence inc dented above. Or at least revised it to read:
 sThey-the delegates support
 ing States Attorney BrOwn--are
 disgruntled, ambitious politi-
 clans who are more interested in looking after the well being
 of the Conn. Light & Power
 Company and the Bridgeport
 Hydraulic Company than they
 are in upholding orthodox re-
 publican principles"
 Reading that oyer 1t does not make sense. Looking after the, well-being of the c. L. & F. and all public utilities in Connecticut is in strict accordance with ortho- dox republican principles in the state and in the nation.
 Not Politicians, War Lords
 Just because the editor of the Republican is inaccurate in his characterization is no reason should not be like him. Therefore the words ambitious politicians" are withdrawn and Chinese war lords" substituted in their place. The situation in Connecticut now that MT. Roraback has given up ruling the state is analogous to that in China after the death of the Empress. Upon her demise the governors of the various prov- inces began the conflict, which Is still raging, for eminence of place in the life of the country and pow- CT of possession of Its resources. Emperor Roraback has descended from the throne in search Of health. I hope he finds 1t. While he was reigning he kept the War Lords in leash. Now that he has relinquished the sceptre they are all grabbing for 1t. China has come to. Connecticut Bow Too Long Harry Mackenzie of the province of Bethel, O How Fat Jack Lynch of the province of New Haven, Whang Bang Btf Frank Healey of the province of Wind- sor Locks, Sing Song Fuey John Buckley of the province of Union. and Get Me In Quick Arthur Brown of the province of New London, are engaged in the lie and death struggle for glory ana power.
