Raleigh, July 15-Senotor Josiah
William Bailey's prctracted argument
in the United States Senate against
the Roosevelt court bill emphasized
the observations long made by friends
and opponents alike that Mr. Bailey
somehow does not get the most out
of his dramatics.
State and even national dailies car
ried much of the text and ranked the
speech high in the forensics, but that
done, the Bailey leadership ends and
the lesser men return to carry off the
bulk of the credit. It has been so
ever since the North Carolina sena-
tor gave notice of his opposition to
the Roosevelt plans and he seldom
gets any reference which he does
not force by official position.
Nobody ever has been able to ex-
plain this attitude toward Bailey. If
the lesser ones received their credit
along with Bailey the answer would
be easy, but the little ones often crowd
him entirely out. And if the press
were hostile to him that would ac-
count for some of the Indifference to
Bailey. But the senior senator sim
ply does not appear to have any gen
JUS for attaching newspaper men to

Washington, July 15.-Repartee in

Time was when a solon, desiring to
say something particularly cutting to

wise he was sure to be rebuked by
the presiding officer; to have his re-

clio attorneys accusing the States at

March Drops Tough Decision To Foe In State Tourney

That Waterbury's heavyweight wrestler, Mat March representing the local Y. M. c. A. in the state tournament did not get any the best of the decision in his final bout which went to Arnold Westergen of New Britain after two overtime per- iods, is the opinion of Bart Chan cersy, who reported the meet, from g local angle as follows:
 Of the two wrestlers who repre- sented the local "" at the state championship Saturday at Hart ford, Mat March, heavyweight, prased in runner-up position in his class.
 In the preliminaries, March pin- ned H. Klintz, the defending state champion, in four minutes and thirty seconds. In the finals the local grappler lost out by decision, to A. Westergen, of New Britain. The latter's retreating, Stalling tac- tics bought him a very of boos from the spectators and the spectators were unanimous in the opinion that the local entry should have been awarded the decision. March's ag- gressive sportsmanship-like style of wrestling made him the favorite with the assembled crowd.
 The. other local entrant, Peter Sloger, welterweight, lost out, ill the preliminaries to P. Torrelli, of An- sonia and defending state champion, by 8 fall in 8 minutes and A sec ondS. The local wrestler wrestling the first bout of hi career proved too inexperienced for his more mat ured opponent.
 New Britain won the state cham pionship, Waterbury finishing fourth with New Haven and AnSonia in be- tween, in that order. Summary:
