POLITICAL POT BOILS IN
 Litchfeld County
By EDWARD J. RYAN.

less Hogan gives up one of the two jobs the Demmie party can expect the Republican workers to use this as political ammunition.
 Each day makes the political fu- ture of Thomas Wall, ST. of Tor rington look better and better in his candidacy for the g.o.p. congression- al nomination from the fifth district. Wall is practically assured of the nomination right now, at least this writer is sure of it. After making a very careful survey of the dis trict it can be said definitely that Wall is going to get the nomination. From what hear, J. Warren UpSon, chairman of the Waterbury Repub- lican town committee is about ready to concede that the party owes Wall its nomination this year. If Wall gets the nomination you can expect fireworks, because Wall is a great campaigner and very popular.
 The Democrats in Watertown are taking the town fathers, (Republi- can) to task for the manner in which they are conducting the af- fairs of the town. The story is that bridge which will be of little or no use, has the blessing of a WPA grant. The people directly respons- ible for the bridge scheme" are persons who own property in the immediate vicinity of the bridge and the funny part of it is that the persons who will receive financial restitution eff you call it that) are all Republicans. Yet they would tell you and me that the administra- tion is no good, the president is no good, etc, etc.,.
 Democratic leaders in Litchfield county are determined to win over the traditionally Republican county of Litchf1eld. They are planning the most intensive campaign in the par tvs history for this fall and the spear head of that campaign will be Sheriff Sutherland A. Beckwith Leaders of the party point out that Beck" was appointed by Governor Wilbur L. Cross and there is no better way for the voters of the county to show their loyalty to the governor than by returning Beck with to office.
 A dark horse is secretly being groomed for the Republican nomin- ation for high sheriff ....
 Senator Anthony Telesco of Tor rington, the man directly responsible for the reduction in the small loan rates, is looking for his seat in the senate again. They did wonderful job in the 1935-37 sessions of tn legislature, record of which he Gk be rightfully proud. Rep. Stammers would like to get the party nomina- ton for the senate post, but there doesn't seem to be much chance at the present time, and Stammers is a good man who enjoys an ex- cellent reputation.
 Democratic women of the county will hold a meeting at the American Legion home in Goshen next Sat- urday evening at o'clock. It prom ises to be big turn out. This year the ladies of the county are going to take very active part in the election, especially the ladies of the Demmie party. Republican ladies have for years taken an unusual in terest in the affairs of their party.
 Francis w. Hogan of Torrington is still looking for place on the state Democratic ticket. Frank is a good man, and should be given a plate on the state ticket, he has earned that honor. It was through him that the city of Torrington turned from a Republican strong hold to Democratic stronghold.
 Rep. Ferris Turkington of Morris will be the Republican nominee for judge of probate. It is cinch.
