Man On 7he Street,
Inquisitive Reporter Adopts Radio Tactics" in Testing Sentiment on Coming Election-Loses
 Decision to Determined ed-Looking Woman"

On the eve of what promises to be Waterbrry's strangest political campaign, The Democrat has made arrangements for a series of interviews with the "man on the street.. These are not de- signed to express either adher- ence to the Fusion ticket or the Democratic and The Democrat does not subscribe to many of the views expressed.
 The persons interviewed have been selected at random and, in every case, were strangers to the reporter sent out to obtain the opinions. This reporter met his first prospect" not more than fifty feet from from the city cen- ter at Exchange place and the following transpired.
 Good morning, sir. You are a voter"
 Sometimes" said the well- dressed middle-aged man who, al first glance, might well have been a bank president out for his mid- morning coffee.
 How do you intend to vote this year, sir You see, I'm gathering opinions from various voters for a election expression of their views on the political situation. I'd be happy to quote you, anonymously. of course, with the others"
 "When is the election9" de- manded the bank president" !" I'm a Republican and I haven't heard that we had 8 candidate in the field. If you could tell me more about 1t, the time of the caucus, the ticket ."
 "But, sir, do you mean to tell me that you haven't heard that the Republicans are now Fusion ists and that the Independent Democrats have selected a MT. George T. Culhane as the joint standard bearer. ."
 "Culhane? Culhane? I used to know a Culhane, but he was a Democrat. Can't be the same Culhane, what? Seems to me he was a senator, or something. Young man." the speaker said sternly, you don't mean to tell me that a man named Culhane has become Republican. Now, nowl There's such a thing as asking too much"
 well, how do you intend to vote, sir?" the reporter asked, desperately seeking to close the interview.
 "You can't expect me to give any definite opinion until know more about the situation at hand" answered the prospect" |" "If you care to come over to my office, say, about the middle of next month I'll have statement prepared for you. In the mean time, I'm sure you'll excuse me il I refrain from making any ad- verse declaration about the ques- tion of voting for MT. Culhane. He may be a fine fellow, you know. AS a matter of fact. I seem to recall that he is a fine fellow and made an excellent Democrat. But, on the other hand. business is good and conditions in Water bury have not been better in many years. I fail to see why we should jump to take chances

STATE

Chalk up another pennant-wln- ming hit for Warner Brothers State theater. It's Souls At Sea" with Gary Cooper, George Raft and Frances Dee heading 8 cast that reads like benefit performance and you can see 1t if you journey to the State over the weekend or the first days of the coming week.
 Raves from Hollywood about this production apparently have been well founded, for fans who saw it at performances yesterday left the the- ater with tidings that it is even more than was claimed for 1t.
 Souls At Sea" is the motion pie ture treatment of the famous trial of "Nuggin" Taylor, sea captain of the '40's, who assumed command of the brig William Brown" when that ship caught fire in mid-Atlantic shortly after her master died. Taylor is played by Gary Cooper, who hard ly performed as well in any of his long string of credible adventure Stories-possibly because he was re- enacting story from history's pages for the first time.
 The William Brown" was equipped with only two life boats and Taylor realized that he could never bring the entire ships com- pany to safety in the frail craft. He ordered a trial to determine who should be permitted to go aboard the ifeboatS and who should be or- dered-at pistol point-to remain aboard and go to the bottom with the ill-fated vessel. He included himself among the survivors not be- cause he wanted to save his life, he later told an admiralty court, but because he knew he was the only man who could bring the life-boats safely through to land.
 There followed 8 trial which Is now epic among sea trials. Taylor was accused of manSlaughter on the high seas not only by most of the survivors, but what hurt most, by his sweetheart, played by beautiful Frances Dee.
 This powerful picture lists in its cast George Raft, who is superb as the hard-boiled mate of the vessel who would steal a kernel of corn from & hen but would follow his captain to the grave; Henry Will coxon, Harry Carey, Olympe Bradna, Robert Cummings, Porter Hall and a roster of supporting players culled from Hollywood's most noted feature players.
 The companion attraction is Blonde Trouble, romantic com- edy with Eleanore Whitney, John- ny Downs, Lynne Overman, Terry Walker and Benny Baker. Bette Davis in That Certain Woman" is coming next week!

on new things. You will recall that MT. Hoover strongly depre- cated the changing of horses in mid-stream. That, sir, is my thought for the moment. Come around about the middle of Oc- tober and I'll extenuate this state- ment."
 Which didn't mean very much to the reporter. It seemed to in- dicate that the Republican, in question, had not been reading about J. Warren Upson, the town chairman of early Republican vintage who now sponsors the Fusionist ticket.
 "Ah," murmured the reporter. Here's a determined-appearing woman. She looks like a person with views of her own. Now to see what the real situation is in the Republican fold"
 Good morning, madam. I'm asking opinion from the voters about their views on the forth coming election and I'd like to have you. ...
 "You go back and tell that Warren Upson that I'm tired of having his smooth talking young men come to my house." inter- rupted the woman. I'm a Re- publican and intend to remain a Republican. But when the so- called leader of the Republican party in Waterbury sponsors movement to disrupt the real Re- publican party by changing every principle. ="
 But, madam, I merely asked how you are going to vote?" pleaded the reporter.
 "As I think, young man. As think. And you can say for me that thinking Republicans are finding much of Republican prin- ciple and application of that principle in an administration which does not sway in the poli- tical wind to the willy-nilly beck onings of backstage orators. You may say that I'm a Republi- can.
 Good day, madam, and thank you," the reporter gasped, back ing away.
 The score for the day seems to be two Republicans, no runs, no hits, no errors. The vote-noth- ing.

Tweeds and Peats
@-WNU Service.

The famous Harris tweeds came
into being through an accident of
nature. The freezing winds which
swept across the barren islands Of
the Outer Hebrides, off the coast of
Scotland, made it imperative that
the natives have warm wind-proof,
weather-proof garments. With mo-
where else to turn, the women of
the islands took advantage of the
unusually thick fleece which was
the winter coat of their sheep, and
from it they wove for their men
the first crude Harris tweeds. Be-
cause they had nothing but the
natural dyes made from lichens and
crottle, and nowhere to steep their
wool except over peat fires, Har-
ris tweed has always been charac-
terized by peaty outdoor odor.
These tweeds had been worn, in the
Outer Hebrides for many years be-
fore the fashion centers of the world
discovered them and elevated them
to the front rank of sports fashions

America is the home of the turkey
but Hawaii never saw a turkey
until more than 100 years ago. In
1915 Queen Kaahumanu went aboard
a trading schooner and saw turkeys
Capt. John Meek had obtained in
Chile. Never had she seen such large
birds before. Upon going ashore she
told the king. The king went to the
vessel and asked for the birds. Upon
refusal he seized the turkeys and
went ashore. The birds later es-
capped. On the slopes of the islands
volcanoes and even in the United
States national park wild turkeys
are fairly numerous, believed to be
descendants of those brought to the
islands by Captain Meek.
