agreed to this action, too.
 There never was opposition voiced by either of these groups to any of the above Democratic offlceholders, but they desire to go on record in view of the issues involved for the welfare of the local party, and to prevent possi- ble confusion of different candi- dacieS.

Parnassus on Wheels, the library society for jails, has moved its head quarters from New Haven to 2 Meg gat park in Wethersfeld, it was an- nounced today by Miss Genevieve Cowles, librarian of the society. The move was made partly on account of the offer of three oratorical clubs to provide speakers for the jail forums conducted by the society.
 Parnassus on Wheels, Inc, was founded in 1882, with the primary object of furnishing good books for prisoners. This work has been car ried on very successfully, and today the greater need is for speakers, to visit the jails, and to talk to the inmates on subjects of interest to them. In this state, the society is working in eight places-Danbury. Litchfield, Bridgeport, Brooklyn, Holland, Haddam, Norwich and New London jails. Work of this sort is being conducted in the New Haven jail by Sheriff Slavin, and so the society is not attempting anything there, nor is it in Hartford jail, where the Rev. Raymond Cunning ham, the chaplain, has acquired 8 considerable collection of books for the prisoners:
 The great need of Parnassus on Wheels at present is for more oral instruction, by volunteer workers, of the sort which is carried on so extensively in England and on the continent. Volunteer workers in England have given a great deal of time toward working with the pris- oners in this way, while in Italy the government is bringing in nuns to instruct the prisoners. In Europe lectures are given on such topics as public health, hygiene, the mak- ing of a newspaper. Glasses among the prisoners have become regular part of the public policy.
 Parnassus on Wheels is attempt ing to inaugurate similar work in Connecticut, in the belief that 1t is better to educate the criminals while they are under the control and supervision of society, than merely to leave them to themselves while they are in jail or prison. In England and in France, great deal of work is also done in helping the inmate of a prison to readjust himself to society after being let out. Very little work of that sort is being done in this country.
 Consequently, Parnassus on Wheels is issuing an appeal for vol unteer workers, to give talks in the

LEHMAN
Herald.

The announcement by Governor Lehman of New
York that he will he candidate for the senatorial
nomination to succeed the late Senator Copeland
is of more than usual interest because of the gov
ernor's former relations with President Roosevelt
and his fall from grace when he chose to take Il
stand in opposition to the scheme to pack" the
United States supreme court
1t will be remembered that Governor Lehman
did not choose to run for reelection in 1886, but
consented to do so the demand of the President,
who wanted that added strength and support for
his own ticket
Lehman continued to be New Dealer although
there may be some question about just how warm
he was-until the supreme court became issue
and he chose to stand by the spirit of the const-
tuition.
Whatever obligation there exists between Albany
and the White House, it certainly is not on Herbert
Lehmans side, but there has been noticeable cool
ness between Washington and Albany since

of every man who has failed to go the limit for
the White House Interpretation of the New Deal.
If New York's Mayor LaGuardia also becomes
candidate for the place left vacant by Senator
Copeland's death, the White House will be in a
good deal of dilemma to which way to throw
its support in this most significant contest in the
politically pivotal state.-Rock Hill, S. c., Herald
