terbury representative of the party
related. This young man was will
ing to tell all who signed the Pc
tition that Mayor McLevy" is moi
now considered a Socialist. Wher
he got power, he forgot his party,
was the comment.
Heading the ticket of the Social
ist Labor party, which will seek all
Socialist votes to the detriment OF
Mayor McLevy unless, as has been
rumored, he is endorsed by the Re-
pnhlicans, is Joseph c. Borden, Jr.
OF South Norwalk, Harvard gradu-
late, and prominent In Socialist party
affairs.
Others on the ticket and the Of
fees they will seek are: Lieutenant
Governor, Michael P. Olean, SIAM
ford; secretary of state, Andrew
Jacob, Jr., Bridgeport; treasurer,
John D. Carlson, New Haven:
comptroller, Alder H. Gierginsky,
Hartford; United States Senator,
Joseph Mackay, Greenwich; United
States Representative, Alfred john
son, Newington.
The Waterbury solicitation was
conducted throughout the main
streets of the city today and many
names were obtained by the Social
list party's representative, although
he tier spent good portion OF his
time explaining hat this was the
party of Mayor McLevv before he
got power" Some signers were of
the impression, it appeared, that
Mayor McLevy had some part in he
petitioning until the list of candi-
dates, which appeared at the top of
all pages of the prepared petition
was pointed out to them.

TRUCKMAN HAD
PLAYED BICAMY

Cambridge, Mass, July 27-(UP)
"A Somerville truckman was ac-
cused today of being the part-time
husband of two women. The wives
did not learn they allegedly were
married to the same man until
Gilbert Tochterman, 30, was ar
rested on bigamy and larceny
charges. When Tochterman said
goodbye to the former Mildred
Dickey, 20, of Somerville, whom he
married in 1927 at Fremont, N.
H., he said he was bound for New
York" with load of freight, po-
lice charged.
But instead he went to Cambridge
and lived with the former Edna
Reardon, 20, whom he married only
three months ago at Seabrook, N.
H., under the name of Gilbert Ar
thur Roots, according to police.
When he went back to the first
Mrs. Tochterman, it was said, he
told wife No. 2 that he was leaving
on a long truck trip.
The larceny charge was lodged
against Tochterman after police
found several hundred dollars worth
of allegedly stolen silverware, jew
elry and furniture in the Cambridge
house.

Especial to The Democrat)

Camp Cross, Mantle, Conn.,, July
26 - The 10th day of the 1888 en-
campment is almost at an end, it
is now 500 p. m. and mess call
has just blown. What a busy day
we have had. Out on Drufee Hill
this morning at Mackenzie's farm
we had a problem In defense. Cap
tain Horrigan (acting battalion
commander) placed Co. E on the
right and Co. F on the left with Co.
G. in reserve in a position where
they could overlook the Mantle
river and bay.
The enemy, the same old Rebs
who have opposed us off and on for
many years, was assumed to be on
their way from Mantle to seize the
high ground we were occupying.
After the machine guns of Co. H
of West Haven had been placed,
Captain Horrigan inspected posi-
tons and then instructed cne COM
pany commander to retire with
their companies to position in a
field in the rear from where he
took up the offense. After this
they moved in along the river
road and Niantic-New London road
to camp. The opening of the draw
bridge over the Mantle river left
one half of the battalion on one
side and one on the other with the
result that we were held up about
ten minutes and did not get back
into camp in time for our Is min
ute close order drill period that we
usually have. Company G went on
guard today. This is the Kellogg
Guard of Waterbury under COM
mand of Captain Edward c. Bell,
Lieut.. Joseph o. Wolfe is officer of
the guard and Lieut.. st. John is
captain of the head in charge of
the sanitary detail. The Second
Battalion of which the Waterbury
units are the whole with the eXcep-
tons of the machine gun company
H of West Haven, were the guard
of honor that met Major General
Laid, the adjutant general at the
main gate of the camp at p. m.
today. After this a review was
rendered General Ladd after which
all officers were presented to him
and the Chatfield Guard had its
picture taken by M. o. Horen
(nicknamed Money Order") the
camp photographer at the head of
the company street. Tonight Lith-
uanian Stein is the piece de resist
ance" at the Chatfield Guard Mess
and Colonel William J. Shanahan
will honor us by his presence. A
half barrel of beer will be served
the company at this time also. This
has been rather a crowded day and
am writing these lines rapidly
just before going down to eat. We
are scheduled for battalion train
ing tomorrow, start out on a hike
to the bivrouac area where we will
probably camp tomorrow night in
pup" tents and march back on
Thursday. About half of the line
officers of the regiment were re-
quired to report back for another
physical exam this afternoon. We
wonder what will be the outcome.
Now $40 p. m, on my way to
chow.

GIRL DANCER MAY
FORFEIT HER LIFE

Chicago, July 27-(UP - Ada
Leonard, 81, a strip tease dancer
who refused to undergo an oper-
alton because the scar would les
sen her professional efficiency. was
in a grave condition from perito-
nitis today. Her physicians had
urged an operation. II would rath-
er die" she said. 1t could not be
determined at once whether she
would die. Her infected appendix
had ruptured. Ice packs were be-
ing used in an effort to check the
spread of the infection and she was
being fed intravenously. She had
received two blood transfusions. DR..
Karl Meyer said he believed she
had chance to recover and that
she was slightly improved.
Miss Leonard, a brunette, has
been billed along Chicago's Rialto
as Americas most perfect beauty
since she first appeared in burlesque
during the 1888 worlds fair. She
was stricken with appendicitis IL
days ago. DR.. Myers said an oper-
alton would make scare one and
half to two inches long.

S h a d O w e d by
"Glamour" of
Big Titles.
BY THE OUT EASTER

The other night, the New York
Sun printed an editorial entitled,
"They run the city," based on the
actual work of "the little fellow"
keeping in the background, and
receiving scant attention from the
press and public.
1t is SO good and so true, we
offer it for the benefit of the
readers of The Democrat:
'Modesty among our public men
Is all too rare, particularly when
some other fellow deserves credit
for job. Borough President Har-
vey of Queens was gracious in this
respect when at the opening of the
extension of Beach Channel Drive
he attributed the real work to an
assistant engineer in his highway
department, Mr.. Steiner, who
draws only $4,000 year.
"Of course it is the men and
women of small titles and small
pay who keep the city running.
You could send the commission
ers and other big shots to Sara
toga or Europe for the rest of the
summer and the municipal clock
would keep on ticking. The wa
ter would flow from the highlands,
the sewers would lead to the sea,
the streets would be swept, the
lost children brought to the police
station, the fires put out, the traf-
fic directed, the parks cleaned, the
public hospitals kept in order, the
tenement houses inspected, the
poor relieved-all without the aid
of oratory.
1.-THE thousands of unknowns are
the real public servants. They
may not think Of themselves as
such but in the performance of
duty they are more loyal, more
necessary-and less applauded-
than their too frequently 'shirty'
superiors."

SUPREME COURT
BACKS CARDENAS

Mexico City, July 27-(UP)-Sup-
porters of President Lazaro Car
denas' law expropriating the oil in
dustry believed today that foreign
oil companiese have exhausted all
Mexican legal procedure on the
question of its constitutionality.
The Mexican supreme court last
night unanimously upheld the de-
cision of the second district court
denying an injunction against ex-
preparation.
The companies still have several
appeals pending on highly tech
nical legal points, but last nights
decision was the first time that the
supreme court had ruled clearly or
the legality of the law which Car
denas utilized for the seizure of the
national railways, the Aqua Caliente
hotel and the oil properties.

Nv LYLE C. WILSON

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, July N-(UP)-A
Republican-Democratic coalition ef-
fort in the Senate to forecloSe third
term possibilities for President Roos-
evelt appeared likely to develop to-
day from agitation over 1910 plans.
Mr.. Roosevelt has made no cate
korical statement as to whether he
will be a 1910 candidate or not. His
public utterances, however, have In
timated a desire to leave office.
But some of his associates and
supporters have suggested directly
or indirectly that circumstances
might compel him to make the race
in 1910 and that it might be Just as
well If he did. Partly for that reason
the nation has broken out In rash
of third term comment. 1t need only
continue at its present volume to
assure both House and Senate dis
cussion of the matter when Congress
next meets.
Democratic Help Welcome
There have been limitations from
some Republicans that Democratic
assistance would be sought in any
move to prevent a third term can
didacy. When third term storm
blew around Calvin Coolidge in 1928
the Senate expressed itself in
resolution not at all binding upon
any nominating convention, but one
which doubtlessly would have been
taken into consideration if Mr.. Cool
idge's name had been put before the
Republicans in Chicago that year
Adopted by a vote of Sc to 26, the
resolution said:
Two Terms Precedent
"It is the sense of the Senate that
the precedent established by Wash
ington and other presidents of the
United States in retiring from the
presidential Office after their second
term has become, by universal con-
currence, a part our republican
system OF government, and that any
departure from this time honored
custom would be unwise, unpatriotic
and fraught with peril to our free
institutions"
Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, r.,
Mich, recalled that resolution this
week and invited attention to the
fact that senators now rated as New
Dealers we're in the Senate at the
time and voted for it.
Anti-Third Term Resolution
An anti-third term resolution
would be most effective, observers
believe, if it were sponsored by one
or more Democrats rather than by
a Republican. La Toilette, then a
Republican, offered the resolution
designed in 1923 to stop Coolidge
From among the Democrats who
voted for the resolution, who are
cool toward Mr.. Roosevelt and who
still are in the Senate, one might
be found to sponsor such state
man of principles. If not, there is a
small group of newcomers who have
demonstrated varying degrees of
hostility to the New Deal and who
doubtless hope Mr.. Roosevelt is serv-
ing his last term.
Nicholson Speaks
In all third term discussion to
date, statement by Charles Mich
elson, chief of the Democratic ma
tional committee publicists, remains
among the most interesting. In No

Third Term Ghost Is

Coalition of Democrats, Republicans to Foreclose
Possibility Is Proposed Republicans Would
Welcome Aid of Democrats

vember Of last year when third term
speculation rapidly was spreading
across country, Nicholson wrote:
obviously the president cannot
in advance decline a nomination
that may never be offered to him.
Just as obviously, with the world n
such turmoil as it is toda outside
of this continent, it cannot be FORE
cast whether the American people
would permit him to lay down his
burden in view Of possible eventual
tiles"
An opinion expressed often among
veteran politicians Is that Mr.. Roos-
event has not decided in his own
mind whether to run but that when
he does he will delay announcement
OF his decision as long as possible.
