Sen. Lonergan a Lifesaver

The one and only Democratic candl- date on the Democratic ticket ln next T11esdav's election that stands out pre-. eminent and untouched by the scores o1 Cross-currents that have marked the tasC closing political campaign IS senator Augustine Lonergan, senior United SCaIeS Senator from Connecticut running TOT reelection. There is little need at thlS late stage of the campaign for any lengthy recital of his achievements in Washing ton during the past six years. They speak for themselves.
 His campaign for reelection is straight-forWard and clear-cut presenta- tion of his record, which we are lead Io believe from various observations has met with the approval of the average fair minded citizen of Connecticut. We actu- ally believe that at this writing MT. Lonergan's election for second term can safely be predicted by a substantial majority. It is therefore to that extent that we reiterate that the candidacy ot Senator Lonergan this year on the state Democratic ticket is a lifeSaver for the rest of the candidates.
 Conditions this year owing to the many intra-State cross currents and ln- ternal emergencies which have arisen have pracClcally reversed Ille olueL oA things as regards vote-getting ability. Whereas up until this year Governor Wilbur Cross has been the pace-maker for his Democratic colleagues, unless all signs fail, the honor this year will go to Senator Lonergan, who remains un- touched by any of the many political Connecticut.
 For one thing we sincerely doubt if Connecticut's ranking Senator will be affected by the "so-called" big McLevy vote and therefore when the returns are counted should be well out in front. It is therefore for that reason that Senator Lonergan can well be said to be more than a lifesaver for the rest of the ticket this Fall. For as he goes more or less in a similar degree should go the rest of the ticket.

Conspiracy??

The Pape-Rowland politico-news alli- ance goes along in nigh gear down hill. The helpless controller, so innocent that his own political promoters are uncertain what he may do next, has from the very start made MT. Pape'S newspapers his mouthpiece for propaganda as well as news, denying large portion of the public any information to which it is entitled, except in a secondhand way It would be most interesting to hear the howl if other city departments, the police department, for instance were to deny admittance to Mr. Pape's reporters when they seek public information.
 A subcommittee of the Board of Finance meets in executive session, which means in confidence, a long-establlshed rule in municipal as well as other organ iZations, only to have it's discussions not only broadcast but even anticipated by the controller through his newspaper mouthpiece before this committee can report to the full board. For such breach of confidence and ethics the committee migh well exclude him from it's meetings. He receives from it much more courtesy and consideration than he gives.
 As controller, MT. Rowland has made good political reporter for Publisher Pape, but after all he is being paid by the public to be controller and should dispense his news impartially. The newspapers, all of them, have been unusually kind to MT. Rowland in not portraying his pathetic lack of knowledge of municipal finance, his utter reliance on his man, Friday, his many embarrassing moments at board meetings. He would be much more Suc- ceSsful and comfortable if he would forget politics and drop his publicity attach InentS.
 But this, apparently, he cannot do as evidence of the alliance, which started even before he took office, builds up grad ually and unmistakably.

Selected Poem
MAN AND GOAT

MAN AND GOAT (Robert P. Tristram Coffin in the New York Times) We came up to it through day glass-clear The island that visit year, And none of us supposed, man. child or wife, We should see sight for once life. When came in along the onyx lodges, The bayberry leaves fire on their edges, And down to meet us and our rolling boat There came white and slender young he-goat His hooves upon the rocks were caress The only walking thing in loneliness So still and touched with sunlight, that it seemed The island was thing that we had dreamed. The only tame thing underneath the wild Clouds of guLs, the goat like child And let the first man of us there ashore Take him in his arms and go before. They climbed the hill and came out on the sky, The little creature held his head up high, And he was white as Surf and the mans bare Shoulders were dark bronze upon the air. And then the man stopped still against all space Blue sky and blue Atlantic, and grace Men see but once and briefly stood out clear In the brightest sunshine of the year. The arch the goats neck made was clean and true, Was youth itself, and it went with the two Curving shoulders of the man, and he And the creature were one symmetry. It all was something long ago and Greek, Or of the future, none of u Scould speak And say for sure but this, we knew was law And something like religion that we saw

Possessor of a distinguished name, but one conferred very seldom in this age, Judge Epaphroditus Peck of Bristol was certainly one of Connecticut's best-known and highly-regarded citizens. His family is an old and respected one in that city; he himself added luster and fame to it. He was known as a speaker, and writer. Long practicing member of the Con- necticut bar he served with distinction, too, on the bench of the court of common pleas. No community enterprise suc- ceeded but what Judge Peck was in some way connected with it. It may truly be said of him his was service devoted to the best interests of city in which he was born and where he spent most of his life. His knowledge of town history, as well as state history, was prodigious and it was this that led him to be called many times to speak before various gatherings He also wrote well and entertainingly of historical events in this state. Bristol loses truly great citizen.

Our Poor Railroads

Here is pressing national problem indeed -one requiring speed and courage in it's solution. The present business up turn will not lost long if it is hampered either by mounting transportation costs on one hand or strike on the other. Neither does anyone like to recommend reduced wages or purchasing power for the railroad employees.
 But there is no escaping the fact that most of the railroads are in very sick condition financially and the situation must be dealt with as an emergency with emergency measures. Far more important than the interest of either owners or em- ployes is the public interest which must prevail if there is to be any return to normal business and prosperity for every one, including railroad employees.

City Managers Not Magicians

Regardless of the merits or demerits of the city manager form of city govern ment, which is too big and moot question to debate here, those who believe it will produce the millennium in municipal af- fairs will do well to consider it carefully and thoroughly and not just snatch at it as something new or something certain to bring about the type of government they desire. "A rose by any other name is just as sweet" and city government can be just as good or bad as those who conduct it and as the people select to conduct it, whether city manager form or otherwise.
 For years Dayton Ohio, has been held up as the shining example of city man. ager efficiency and yet, only the other day, we read that it's schools had to close for lack of funds
 City manager form of government was introduced into one of the largest cities in the land with the full support of one of the strongest political machines in the nation and apparently fits into the machinery. Those who are fathering this movement locally are undoubtedly sin cere in what they desire to produce, but they will do well to follow the advice of one of their out-of-town advisers and take the public into their confidence with full information as to the pros and cons. It is large order in public education, but this is the only proper approach to the matter.

COMMUNISTS DREAD THOUGHT OF STATE G. O. F.
 VICTORY

Editor, Waterbury Democrat
 At recent meeting of the State Committee of the Communist Par- ty, it was decided to withdraw the entire State ticket of the Party. Communist candidates for United States Senator and for United States Congressman from the 4th Congressional District alone will re- main on the ballot. This step was taken in line with the clearly ex- pressed policy of the Communist Party to withdraw it's own candi- dates wherever progressive New Deal candidates appear. The sweep ing withdrawals were dictated by this policy and by the dreadful dan ger of a Republican victory in Mo- vember. By this action, the Con- munist Party demonstrates its own sincerity in working for the victory of the New Deal and dramatizes the danger of Hooyerism returning to power on Capitol Hill and in Wash ington.
 It is to the credit of Labor's Non Partisan League that it has been foremost in unifying the forces of labor and progress in the state in support of the New Deal. Its State Convention on October 1st made a splendid contribution to the fight to defeat the Republican Party, the party of the tories and trusts. La- bor's Non Partisan League has done a great service to the people of the State by turning the spotlight upon the struggle over New Deal policies and program as the central issue of this years elections.
 A Republican victory will be the peoples defeat. The gains made un- der the New Deal and President Roosevelt will be wiped out. The true sponsors of the Republican Party, the public utilities trust. and the Connecticut Manufacturers As- sociation, are preparing to institute 8 program of wage cuts, drastically curtailed relief and the elimination of all social and labor legislation enacted under the New Deal. Un- employment compensation, old age pcAlo1OA1S, WGA dAAu F WA, tLlc WaB- ner Labor Relations Act, etc., will be erased from the law books of the state and nation. They try to cam ouflage this program by aSsailing Roosevelt as dictator and by falsely blaming the New Deal for the depression. They call for '.recov- cry" but 1t is Hoover recovery they want, which means destroying whatever security the people have won through the New Deal.

More aid for the Great Trail, which extends from Mount Katahdin, Maine, to Mount Oglethorpe, Georgia, is assured in the offer of the National Park and Forest Service to perpetuate this 2,OoO mile patch along the ridge of the Appa- lachian Mountains. Where the trail passes through national parks, forests, reservations, etc., protection strip will be set aside on each side of it. Camps and shelters will be provided to augment the many that are now existing, thanks to the kindly cooperation of local hiking clubs and the like. The Great Trail has been long in the making, but will be all the more appreciated when completed.

LONERGAN'S REELECTION BASED ON SEVERAL
 FACTS
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:


 The HARTFORD COURANT is not to be condemned for its support of it's Republican candidate for the U. s. Senator although it has seen fit at times to laud Senator Loner- gan.
 If political offices were obtained without contest, our government would be in a sad plight.
 It is pretty much conceded that Senator Lonergan will be elected by large majority because:
 1. He is conscientious and we'll
 balanced and
 2. Even if the Republican candi-
 date were elected he couldn't
 succeed to the high commit
 teeships held by Senator Lon-
 ergan, which are so important
 to Connecticut people.
 That, however, does not preclude the fundamental reason for con- test, nor good word from the friends of MT. Danaher although a number of them, by reason of judg- ment will be unable to vote for hin, and rather not hear him say that he is opposed to the w. F. A.. and in later breath, in the same speech, add that he is in favor of retaining it until there is something else, or words to that effect.

WAGE-HOUR LAW HAS GOOD SUPPORT IN
 SENATOR LONERGAN

East Hartford, Conn.
 Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Chiselers received great set- back when the Wage and Hour Bill recently went into effect. Small business men and industries will no longer be bothered with the cheap goods of cpmpetitor5 which preyi- ously were manufactured or sold at such low prices by reason of low wages or long hours. {. Labor. at the same time is great ly benefited by reason of the limi- tation of hours and minimum wage. I attended a rally in Glastonbury the other night and heard Senator Lonergan speak. It is gratifying to note that he is an ardent supporter of this new law. It certainly gains him additional friends in small bus mess circles and no doubt also many more in labor.

fer under the heavy hand of Re. publican reaction. Not only will labor legislation be cancelled, but further, labor will be confronted with the employers demands for incorporation of unions, more ex- tenSive use of the notorious Con- spiracy Act and injunctions, defeat of the Child Labor Amendment, and more widespread unemploy- ment.
 The entire. labor and progressive movement in the state have shown their keen awareness of the true meaning of a Republican sweep. They have united behind the New Deal, determined to keep Connecti- cut in the column of progress. The powerful movements for housing and slum clearance, for Federal Flood Control, for the election of labor men to Congress and the Con- necticut General Assembly, have grown up in every community, large and small, in the state.
 The people of Connecticut know that the unity of all progressives to defeat the G. O. P. is the task of the hour. They understand that all minor differences among them selves must be submerged in the face of the common threat of Hoov- erism. Only Mayor McLevy of Bridgeport continues to pursue a course that promises to split the unity of the people and return the Republicans to power. He insists upon becoming Connecticut edi- tion of William Lemke. Already Connecticut industrialists are lend- ing their experts to the McLevy campaign. High salaried executives trained in 20th century advertising methods are now mysteriously talk ing over the job of selling McLevy to the voters of the State. w. Ben Aurandt, leading General Electric Corporation executive, announces a Citizens Committee for McLevy." He promises McLevy unlimited funds for the campaign. This latest move provides the only link missing up to now to prove the Republican Socialist coalition for the 1888 cleo tionS. The coalition, born in the State Senate in 1885, has been re- vived this year in order to defeat the New Deal. The people have a right to know who are the other members of this Citizens Commit tee" which springs up overnight full grown with an over flowing war chest. and from where its money comes.
 The strategy of the Republican Party is now clear. Figuring to hold their own supporters in line, they are using McLevy's candidacy to split the ranks of the progressive voters. But maneuvers, trickery and demagogy will not win in November. The Communist Party calls for unity of all the people behind Roosevelt and the New Deal. For recovery with the New Deal.

ence outburst at employers who balk at wage-hour compliance was not so spontaneous as appeared. Actually it was carefully arranged, and inspired by 8 reporter.
 The newsman had tried to get Administrator Elmer Andrews to take whack at recalcitrant busi- ness men. But the canny Scotch man refused to be ii1veigled. All he would say was that he hoped employers would obey the new law.
 The day after it went into effect, Andrews had 8 press conference at which the newsmen again tried to obtain a fire-eating statement. Andrews smilingly shook his head.
 "AlI right" the reporter said, eff you won't say anything, I'll ask the President at his press conference this afternoon. I'll bet he won't hesitate to speak his mind."
 Andrews saw the President that morning. told him what the news man had said.
 That's fine," Roosevelt re- piled, 'T hope he does ask me that question. "I'll be glad to answer it."
 Returning to his office, Andrews encountered the reporter. 'T told the President about your question" he said, land he is willing to an- swer it. Now you be sure to ask it."
 The reporter did and the Presi- dent did not disappoint him.

We spoke some days ago about the trouble Connecticut fishermen were hav- ing in finding good fishing grounds in the Sound, the September hurricane hav- ing raised havoc with the bottom of the Sound. Well, it did the same to oyster beds, too, and title to thousands of oys- ters will change hands as result. Oyster beds were moved bodily from one point to another. Some owners found them selves without any bivalves; others found their beds holding double and treble the number of former occupants.
