Go to Esther

GO to ESCncr
 Before I write anything more on the mess into which Chairman Smith, his aiders, abettors, and advisers have plunged the Demo- cratic party in Connecticut would like to refer the lot of them, for their profit, to the story of gentleman named Haman, the son of Hammedath the Agagite. It IS to be found in the Old Testament in the Book of Esther. Haman wished to do to death an enemy named Mordecai and his fellow Jews. So he plotted against Mor- decai and providing against the hour when his wish would be gratified, built gallows fifty cu- bits high ..pon which Mordecal ultimately would be hanged. All went well until Haman over estimating his power made play for the Queen Esther, wife ot King Ahasuerus. And the king did not like it. The finish of the story is brief and to the point:-
 "SO they hanged Haman on
 the gallOws that he had pre-
 pared for MOrdecai."
 The moral should be plain. Don't build a gallows upon which to hang another because verify you may be the first one to stand upon it with the hangman's knot under your own carotid artery.

Stunped!

OVE AA.
 Right here I confess myself stumped. Senator Lonergar1, speaking by-and-large, does not owe his toga directly to MT. Roose- welt. Senator Maloney unques- tionably does because if he had not been. a candidate when the President was mounting by leaps and bounds in the public heart and respect only the most fantas- tically optimistic Democrat would have given him an outside chance of winning. If ever man run ming for office cashed in on the Roosevelt check it is the Junior Senator from this state. The plat form upon which he stumped Connecticut from end to end, day after day. night after night ana which established an all-time rec ord for physical endurance. in these parts was Roosevelt! Roose- welt! Roosevelt!" A vote for Ma loney was vote for Roosevelt and the ballots cast for Maloney were predicted upon his expressed de- termination to support the Pres ident. If at any time, or in any place, MT. Maloney has qualified that indicated support by an "if". Cor" and perhaps" Connecticut would now have but one Demo- cratic senator in the House of the Elder Statesmen in Washington. And what is true, I believe. in Senator MalOney's case is true in the case of every member of the state delegation in the Congress.

How They Will Vote

1neTe ndS Uccl COlloAuCA oDAc guessing about just what group on the Supreme Court issue Sem ator Lonergan and Senator Ma loney will be found lined up with when the final count of noses takes place. So far as l know neither gentleman has committed himself publicly. The fact that MT. Lonergan has proposed an amendment of his own to the Presidents plan would lead con- firmation to the opinion that he is against the proposal which MT. Roosevelt has rendered for con- sideration. IF MT. Maloney so- licited the invaluable services of State Chairman Smith as first grave-digger for the interment of MT. Roosevelt's measure and IF MT. Smith spoke for Senator Ma loney it seems logical to believe that the latter is also opposed to the President. However, since both Senator Lonergan and Sen- ator Maloney have failed to con- suit" with me on what they should do-just as President Roosevelt neglected to consult with State Chairman Smith "either before election or at any time prior to the submission of the bill to Con- gress"-I remain in blissful ignor- ance how they are going to vote when the showdown arrives. Un- til that fateful day dawns all any Democrat in Connecticut can do IS try to figure out the reasons for their antagonism, if any, to the Presidents intention to make the Supreme Court present-day con- scious.
