u. S. CONGRESS,
3rd District

On Farmer-Labor Ticket
In little town in Sweden
In eighteen ninety-two
A baby boy first saw the light
With pretty eyes of blue.
His parents left that country
And took their only child
To the state of South Dakota
With its prairies bare and wild.
Brought up by honest parents
On farm owned by his Dad
He grew up strong and sturdy
Into the finest lad.
He learned the art of farming
But as he older grew
He thought of other places
He had other things in view.
He moved to Minnesota
With his wife and family
And then the once-small farmer boy
Went out the world to see.
His occupations varied
His mind could find no rest
Until he turned to politics
Then he was at his best.
He was Our legislator
In nineteen thirty-three
He represented District
Forty-four quite properly.
He voted at the Capital
On all the bills and such
His record was a hundred per
And that means very much.
Six years our legislator
The people all agree
No better man could represent
Plain folk like you and me.
Unselfish, kind, considerate,
Helpful to all he knows
This man has friends numbered
No matter where he goes.
Let's send Nordin to Congress
From district number three
Don't forget to vote for him
Then no regrets there1l be.
The race is on and all his friends
Are busy now campaigning
His helper John A. Bergquist
Is working, though it's raining.
What | have said about him
Is true, as true can be
How do l know, that's simple
Hes my uncle, don't you see.

cause of its simplicity. Why, that sort
of thing happened every minute OF
every day in the year. If he told peo-
pie about it and added that he thought
it was a queer predicament they'd
think he was crazy.
Well, there was only one thing to
do, and he did 1t. When Saturday
night came he put on his hat and
coat. backed out his coupe and drove
to the home Of Doris Young in Law
renee, Mass. Doris was waiting for
him. She was wearing green dress.
She looked lovely. Her welcome was
warm and sincere. She introduced him
to her folks and Johnny had to con-
fess they were quite normal. He liked
them. They all sat around and talked
awhile and then Johnny suggested
taking Doris to the movies. Doris
thought that would be fine.
X X X X
FIFTEEN minutes later Johnny
swung his coupe of the beaten
path and stopped it.
Look here" he said, have any men
proposed to you before?
Proposed? You mean marriage?
Why, yes, three or four. I suppose
every girl has certain number of
proposals. But there's no need to get
alarmed, Johnny. I didn't accept
| them
why not?" said Johnny.
why not WHAT"
"Why didn't you accept them"
"Why. Johnny. didn't love them"
Johnny wet his lips and cleared his
| throat. Look" he said. did you
understand what asked you over
the phone the other night?"
You asked me to marry you, didn't
you?"
That's right"
We'll, will, love you" She hes
itated. You're not sorry you asked
me. are you. Johnny?
No" said Johnny. Il do love you.
1t gives me the horrors to think Of you
refusing. But. we'll, 1t seemed-well-
rather abrupt"
yes, it did" said Doris. But don't
mind, Johnny. I'm glad you didn't
beat around the bush"
Johnny gulped down a mouthful of
air. We'll, he said, I'll be damned"
And then, because it seemed like the
thing to do. he kissed her, and she
kissed him back.
And because they are now married
and live happily. Johnny claims he
once had funny experience.

A MYSTERY for the homicide
= squad. A man was found dead
in an Office building. He was hang
ing on the end Of a rope which was
suspended from the ceiling. The CELL
ing was very high and the Office was
on the 23d floor Of the build
ing. The curtains were drawn over
the windows, the windows were locked
and the only door was heavily bolted
from the inside. All evidence pointed
to suicide, but the police were at a
loss as to how the man had been able
to hang himself without the aid of a
chair. table or some other article
There was also mysterious, large, wet
spot beneath the body which the
police were unable to explain. Fin
ally one Of the detectives discovered
the explanation and proved that it
was case of suicide. What was the
explanation?

He saw the redheaded girl the next

was hopelessly in love. That was the
day the party broke up and every one
went home.

to lose out.
That night he read magazine story.
1t wasn't unlike lot of stories he
read, but it gave him an idea. The

San Francisco, Aug. 10. (UP)- Two men, one middle-aged min- ister, the other a young music stu- dent looked today upon world they hadn't seen in years, a world they hadn't known since they lost their sight. To them 1t was world filled with sunshine and happiness, one of beautiful colors and strange faces. It was almost like being born all over again, thrust into life as an adult instead of as a child. The eyes of Mrs. Margaret Carr, who died almost two weeks ago, restored sight to the Rev. U. E. Harding of Port land, Ore. and Arthur Morton, 2l. a pianist of Sacramento, Cal. Neither the Rev. Harding nor Mor- ton was permitted to receive visitors. It will be a week, doctors said, be- fore they could adjust themselves to their new lives. But surgeons, who preferred to remain anonymous, de- scribed their patients reaction in the extraordinary situation.
 T can see," the Rev. Harding said when the bandages were removed. T can see your hand. I can count your fingers. can see colors. I know what you look like" Tears filled his eyes. He still was blind in one eye, but from the other he had seen for the first time in 43 years. A few minutes later surgeons took the dressing from the eyes of Morton. The young musician stared for .

LONERCAN GAINS
 BY REACTIONS
Mulvihill Bridgeport Group Backs Him; State Lead-
 CTS Are to Follow

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 10.-(UP)- Reactions of Rep. Herman P. Kop- plemann's campaign to replace Aug ustine Lonergan as the Democra- tic U. 8. senatorial nominee at the September state convention, as- sumed greater proportions through out the state today.
 At Bridgeport, Cornelius Mulvi- hill, Democratic leader, said that if the town organization failed to support Lonergan, pro-Lonergan tickets would be presented when delegates are chosen for the con- vention. Mulvihill said there would be determined drive to send dele- gates instructed to support the re- nomination of the senior senator.
 His announcement closely fol- lowed indorsement of the incumbent by Secretary of State Dr. c. John Satti. The secretary was the first of the state administration to urge Lonergan's return to congress. It was reported reliably that similar indorsements would be made by Na- tional Committeeman David E. FitzGerald, U. s. Sen. Francis Ma loney and State Chairman J. Fran cis Smith. Old Guard Leader Thomas J. Spellacy. Hartford, al- ready has announced support of the senator.
 Koppelmann, with strong labor backing and promised support of g newly organized anti-Lonergan unit conceived several days ago at Hart ford, claimed in a radio address last night that the majority of the HOO convention delegates would "be with us".

HURRICANE HITS
 IN MIDDLET0WN
Freak Storm Accompanied By HailstOnes Did Much
 Damage Last Night

Middletown. Aug. 10-(UP)-Re- pair crews mopped up today after a freak hurricane and hail storm which uprooted trees, damaged dwellings and crippled telephone and power service drought the city last night.
 The sweeping wind lasted but less than ten minutes. During that time six inches of hail fell, live wires dangled dangerously from toppled poles and it was necessary to shut off light service for hours except in the section surrounding Middlesex hospital.
 Robert McComber, 19, Williman- tic, driving a truck load of live chickens to New York, was severely hurt when two trees fell on his ma chine. Another tree damager the Church of the Holy Trinity and several homes and stores were sim- ilarly assaulted. It was estimated more than 50 trees were uprooted.
 A chimney was blown over on one house and crashed through the roof. Occupants used buckets to bail the hail out of the attic.
 A panic was averted at the Capi- tol theater when Manager Ernest oreau assured frightened patrons there was no danger.
 The storm did not affect sur- rounding communities which exper- fenced a heavy rainfall but no high wind.n
 At New Britain hail fell and a gale felled several trees but the damage was reported slight.

DESPERADO HELD
 UNDER BIG BOND

Baltimore. Aug. 10-(UP)-Char- les Bird, Ohio public enemy" and leader of a gang of desperadoes, waived preliminary hearing on sev- en charges of robbery with fire arms today and was held for the grand jury in $75,000 bond.
 Fighting desperately to clear his 19-year old wife of any connection with the charges which may result in prison terms totaling 140 years for him, bird suddenly waived pre- liminary examination when 1t ap- peared she was about to collapse.
 Judge Elmer H. Miller fixed the bond of Mrs. Bird, an expectant mother, at 5000. Forming Bird a menace to society" he told the Ohio badman he regretted that Maryland law compelled him to permit any bond. But since he was compelled to set bond, he said. he would fix 1t at $25 900 on each of seven counts or SITS, 900.

New York, Aug. 10.-(UP)- Spokesmen for the International Ladies Garment Workers Union said privately today that 1t would boycott the New York state convention of the c. I. O., called for Sept. IS to set up & permanent organization in competition with the state unit of the A. F. of L. The Garment Work CTS, presided over by David Dubin- sky, strong advocate of peace be- tween the c. I. O. and the A. F. of L., constitute the third largest union in the c. l. O. The membership is 250,000. In the New York city area, the 150,000 members comprise the largest c. I. O. union in the state. Allan s. Haywood, regional o. I. o. director, called the conven- ton yesterday. It is expected to be followed by similar meetings in other states, and by national con- vention in the fall. John L. Lewis, c. I. o. chairman, approved the New York meeting. Dubinsky's re- ported boycott was regarded as part of a new plan for attempting to re- unite the 0. I. O. and the Fedora
 ton.
 Other developments in line with thls plan. 1t was said. were the

 The objective was believed to be the formation of a conservative" bloc within the c. I. O., probably led by Dubinsky and Martin, which would try again to make peace with the A. F. of L.
 Spokesmen for the Garment Workers said that all locals had been advised not to send delegates to the state convention, but that the unions executive board prob- ably would take no official stand un- til an invitation was received from John L. Lewis to send delegates tc national convention. Then, 1t was said, the I. L. G. w. U. would officially decline to take part, and probably would withdraw entirely from the c. I. O. In deference te Dubinsky's peace-making efforts, his union was the only one in the c. O. that the Federation did not ex- lpel. It is under suspension.

Probate Judge Slauin Retires As Candidate
Official Statement Is Given Out Today-Will Not Wait for Retirement Quits His Office After Long
 and Honorable Career

Judge Dennis J. Slavin of the pro- bate court announced officially to- day that he will not be 8 candidate this fall. This is the first statement to issue from Judge Slavin, al- though rumors have been current that he would not seek reelection, because of imminence of his reach ing retirement age.
 Judge Slavin gave as his reason for not seeking reelection that, in the event of his election, he would not want to occasion the costs of a special election in mid-term for the residents of the probate district, comprising Waterbury, Wolcott and Middlebury.
 Veteran of more than 8 quarter of a century in the probate judge ship here, Judge Slavin first took office in 1911 after defeating Judge Michael J. Byrne in the 1910 and again in the 1912 elections.
 Was Beaten Once
 The only opposition candidate to defeat Judge Slavin was Judge Ar thur F. ELS, of the superior court, who, in 1914, on a fusion ticket of Republicans and Progressives, the latter remnants of the Roosevelt Bull Moose" party, carried the dis trict by l13 votes, Waterbury by 28 votes, by a combined opposition to the Democrats supporting Judge Slavin. The latter defeated Judge Els the next election and has been reelected ever since, several times with the endorsement of the Repub- licans.
 Candidates in View
 Among the candidates of the Re- publicans who have succumbed to the power of Judge Slavin's support were such stalwarts as Walter L. Makepeace, Judge Miles F. McNiff, Abner Hayes, Frank Carroll, Judge Byrne twice, and, most recently, At torney Edward F. Sweeney, whom Judge Slavin defeated by more than 15,000 votes.
 Judge Slavin defeated the only successful candidate ever to con- front him at the polls, Judge Els, the Fusion ticket candidate, by about 75O votes at the conclusion of Judge Els term when the latter
