apparently cipched support of John Bergin for Mortimer J. Calvin last year on the eve of the election.
 A meeting was held in Upson's office with William J. Pape, Freder- ick J. Palomba, Francis T. Phillips. Charles R. Summa, Frank Vara- nelli, and Albert O. Taller attend ing. Upson sought permission to name five delegates from the first and third wards.
 These delegates would peat the Bergin faction. Upson told the leaders of the wards that he would see to it that an Italian would get the assistant registrars job only If Taller was named. This was the crumb of recognition which was re- sponsible for the deal to provide defeat for Bergin, campaign mana ger for Rowland and committed to support of Calvin for the registrars nomination.
 Publisher Pape attempted to exert influence on the former chairman of the Republican Town Committee, his close associate in other years before the latter's busting by Upson. Revelations concerning this asso- ciation have been made showing that Pape dictated policies whereby racial representation in Republican party affairs underwent purge" following "double-machine" tac- tics employed by Pape and Upson after agreements for recognition of the racial groups.
 The only remaining ally of Con- troller Rowland, whom he has used as puppet for promotional enter prise since last fall and who now has been built into a Frankenstein against the Waterbury publishers political desires, Publisher Pape is apparently on the outside of the current deal to take Rowland back into the party. This, by the support offered Upson yesterday by Bergin and, possibly, Alderman Thomas F. Bane, employe in Controller Row. lands office.
 Pape Build-Up
 This last will mean that Upson; for the time being at least, will use Pape's build-up of the controller through the fall rather than attempt to abide the maneuverings of Pape to initiate his Frankenstein to the bursting point in behalf of the publishers own ambitions. There was a time recently when Pape had visions of ticket with him. self at the head, Hartford County States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, ST., for senator, Rowland for con- troller, and others dependent on his favors as running mates for the lesser offices.
 Behind the meeting of the Repub- lican Town Committee Monday night is the background of political scheme as devised by deal, and counter deal, all initiating to the exclusion of the racial groups from party affairs, leaders of these ele- ments avowed today.
 The Old Eight Ball
 One of the most prominent Ital- ian-American leaders in the city expects to find Upson in front of Taller and both in the shadow of the eight ball' when the results of the meeting are counted. Whether there will be majority for the factions aligned against the Upson Taller combine remained in doubt today.
 But those opposing the combine, and the "clique" controll of the party from the central group under Up- sons domination, are prepared to go into a primary fight, to court, If necessary, to determine their rights for voice in party affairs.

WhyHeLost

ONE Of the most amusing storits of the present
- election year, but not amusing to the victim,
comes from Dadeville, Ala. where G. L. Evers a
merchant, was candidate for tax collector.
He ordered $500 books of matches from Chi
cago firm on which his was to be printtd with
the legend: "Honest and able-lnay you find me
worthy Of support in the coming primary"
The consignment was received and put aside with
out inspection until the night of big rally, when
Evers still without looking at the printing began
passing the matches out to the crowd. Soon jeers
reached his ears, and he discovered that his match
books were the cause.
Instead of the wording he had ordered, the book
covers were found to bear the line Don't drink Wa
ter; drink beer" Now Evers and most of his home
towns citizens Baptists and prohbitionists, so
the effect may be imagined. His two opponents used
the match manufacturers error against him, and he
ran third in the primary.
Now he is suing the manufacturer for $125,OOO,
because the mistake subjected him and his family
to contempt and ridicue, damaged his business and
spoiled his chances for election.
1t was tough break for good man. But he
should have had his campaign material printed at
home, anyway.

Tree Named For Lee

IN the past number of the giant sequoia trees Of
California have been named for distinguished
persons, but in recent years the policy Of the Inter-
ior Department has been to deny further additions
to the list.
Upon request of the Daughters Of the Confeder-
acy an exception has been made however, and one
of the finest specimens in the Sequoia National Park
has been named for General Robert E. Lee. Besides
being a tree Of almost perfect symmetry, 1t IS one
Of the few among these ancient sequoas that has
not been Scared by fire.
Among other notables for whom CalifOrnias big
trees have been named Abraham Lincoln, W1l-
liam Mckinley, and General Sherman. Some Of the
trees are more than 800 feet tall and several are
more than 80 feet in diameter. Although not the
tallest the General Sherman tree is the most mass
i've of ALL being 3612 feet in diameter and 279 feet
high.
In Sequoia National Park, which consists of 161,.
$40 acres there are more than 1,666,OOO trees, OF
which about $4,000 are more than 10 feet III diane
ter The very largest estimated to be not less
than 5000 years old.
It is strange fact that the sequoia tree, named
for Sequoyah the illiterate half breed American In
dian genius who invented the Cherokee alphabet OF
IS characters is found only in the mountains of
California. So far is known, no trees comparable
in size with the largest sequoias exist anywhere else
in the world
