He's Loyal to Old Doe

You were misinformed in tax
ing that recent editorial side
swipe at the Townsend Plan. The
proposed monthly pension Is not
5000, it may be only $40 or $50
a month to start with. The
age limit is go years. The bill
now before Congress strictly pro-
hibits the retiring Of the young
folks on the old folks pensions,
on penalty Of forfeiture Of the
next payment. This tax has been
in successful operation in Hawaii
since 1885, and in Indiana since
1888. Congress wanted to adopt
it for the nation in 1921, but was
prevented by Wall Street. No
other plan will help the youth
and middle-aged of the United
States back to usefulness and
happiness as will the Townsend
Plan. o. BIC.
No More Raul Deals
If there is any boring from
within being done in the United
States we know who is doing the
boring. The reactionary forces
that gave us the raw deal.
They gave us one raw deal: do
they want to give us anotherP
We should not forget that per
haps the old deal was not o raw
deal to those who want US to go
back-to those who for obvious
reasons are trying to bore their
way back to power.
Years of voting for anybody
and anything has given the
United States a few pampered
pets-the reactionaries. and q
problem child-big business.
America doesn't want another
raw deal. w. r.
Campaign Material
I say the way for candidates
To win elections is to take stands
on really vital issues. Forget,
Europe, unemployment, crop
control and all that booey, boys,
and promise to get us laws
against blondes asSociating with
men. There's a real reform for
you, and one that would rejuve-
nate this country overnight.

the Golden Text in the Lesson

Among the Bible selections in the

freely give He that receiveth
you receiveth me, and he that re-

On the eve of the caucus, Chairman
Upson was undecided on whether he
would be a candidate, In spite Of visi-
tations from numerous Republican
leaders who sought to have him an
nounce such candidacy, assuring him
that he is the strongest nominee the
party could place In opposition to
Attorney Patrick j. Healey, the
Democratic candidate.
II am still Of uncertain mind" Mr..
Epson told The Democrat at noon.
II may decide to allow my name to be
presented and, In this eventuality, I
would ask consideration Of the dele
gates for my candidacy"
Epson Urged
The Democrat learned from relia-
Bile sources that local party leaders
have pressed Mr.. Epson to accept
the nomination after he had stated
that he would not be q candidate.
While Chairman upson recently was
given an overwhelming vote Of con-
fidence ct the Republican primaries,
II is understood that he has ques-
toned whether he would have united
support In the event he sought the
Judge OF probate post; whether he
would be the strongest candidate.
Up until noon today, there were
three leading contenders for dele
gate support when Waterbury's 81
delegates caucus tonight.
They are, In order Of their pre-
sumed strength;
Attorney George Lynch, seen as q
compromise" candidate In the event
OF decided split which some fore
cast as probable because OF early
alignment of the delegates
Attorney Maurice p. Wrenn, who
was the first hereaboutS to espouse
openly the candidacy Of william J.

ing q candidate over Judge Dennis
J. Slavin, veteran incumbent Judge
Of probate, whoh has been endorsed
by both major parties some terms Of
his long tenure In the office.
Claims OF supporters Of Attorney
Wrenn today, which were TO the eff
feet that he had "22 out OF 50 dele
gates, were discounted by Attorney
Sweeney, who claimed is delegates
pledged to his candidacy. II either
of these contenders had about q
dozen votes out OF the actual num-
