popped up on the national scene among them Tom Dewey, sheri- dan Downey, Harold Stassen, Lev erett Saltonstall, Clyde Reed and Robert A. Taft. Some of them may be sent back to political oblivion. Others may win and go on to fame. In some states such men have brought new life and more liberalism to the Republican party.
 The New Deal is an issue here and there, but not importantly 50 everywhere. Many Democratic can- didates hope to benefit from Roose- welt popularity and their opponents bank on backswine against parts of the Roosevelt program, If not against the President himself. There Is nothing resembling the 1884 rush of Democratic and Republican can- didates alike to ride Roosevelt coat tails. On the other hand, there's no general Republican onslaught against the President and issues vary from state to state.

 NATURAL SWING
 Primarily Republicans are count ing on a natural mid-term swing away from the party in power such as failed to appear in 1884. Further, G. O. P. experts figure:

 Although admitting Roosevelt popularity. c. o.

For some reason or other the Republicans did not or could not get outstanding candidates for any of their offices. The seasoned and proven Senator Lonergan is fa- vored, even by many Republicans, ever the youthful asplrant, John Danaher. Governor Cross Is the unshattered idol of the state dem ocracy, as well as many good Re- publlcans as compared to Mir. Baldwin. President McConaUghy of Wesleyan who thought he had to get down in the gutter to try for public office, has talked him. self and his university out of Q lot of prestige. Congressman Kop- plemann is the one Democratic candidate whose party tactics has decreased his chances. He left . lot of sore spots in hls district. Congressmen Phillips and Fitz- districts. but principally because gerald have hard battles in their oe the Republican makeup of these sections. J. Joseph Smith has biz advantage over Roy Rice because of his record, his exc perlence, his attention to his dis trict, his sound and dignifled pub- Mc service. He may not get as big . majority as before, but the signs point to his victory.
 
 The hard-lived charges against Waterbury's city officials are not going to make anywhere near as much difference as some of the Republicans have expected or hoped for. It is a state and na- tional-not local-election. The Democratic candidates, some of them new faces, are all free of any taint or connection and they rate higher in experience. abil- ity, and popularity than their re- spective opponents.
 Almost, all of the former Lnde- pendent Democrats are thorough ly disgusted with the actions of Q few of the scheming element who are resorting to gutter politics because their own selfish plans did not materlalixe. These few do not seem to realize that the previous strength of the Independents was Q revolt against individuals who were interested in their own poe litical fortunes. Such tactics add Ia lot of confirmation to the fre- quently heard rumor that some of these trouble -makers are only working hand In glove with 6 few Republicans whose standard of political morality Is none too high. Their mouthpiece Is always the Waterbury Republican, which Is more than mere coincidence.
 Even with the early uncertainty of the local political situation none of the outstanding Repub- lican lawyers, who could have had the probate nomination for the asking could be persuaded to take 1t. There is little likelihood of Q Republican judge of probate in Waterbury for the next two years. Attorney Patrick Healey has too big an advantage in age, ex- perience and local acquaintance over Attorney George Lynch for the latter to overcome.
 The Waterbury Republican and Che Pape-Rowland addaglO team are still . thorn in the side of the local Republican organization and too big . hindrance to party sol- idaEity.

The l94O presidential nominations and election are on many political minds. Recovery of a few large states lost in the last 10 years would boost c. o. P. hopes of a national comeback two years hence. Several candidates in senatorial and guber- material contest already are embryo presidential candidates and will be regarded as 1040 possibilities" If they win.
 BIG STAKES,
 BIG NAMES
 In some states President Roose- welt and the New Dealers particu- larly, as well as the Democratic party in general, have much ct stake.
 The list of doubtful" states this year is a long one, as Republicans see 1t. Great states such as New York, Pennsylvania, California, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Massa- chusetts, Kansas and Wisconsin are ringing with the cries of battle and charges and countercharges which increase in vigor-sometimes in H- ciousness-as election day hears.

The political drama gets more interesting and tense as the elec- ton draws closer, both in the city and state. The Republicans and Socialists will get more votes, the Democrats some less, but the Democrats are still long odds to win. Locally, the Republicans will not show any additions to their last turnout, but the Socialists are likely to. See if we are not correct on November 9th.

WILD LIFE MAN IS HERE FOR STUDY, FOREST AREAS
E s t a blis hment of Game Management Units Pro-
 posed by Forest Service

Accompanied by Dr. H. l.. Shantz, Chief of the Division of Wlldlife Management for the U. s. Forest Service, Regional Forester B. F Heintzleman returned to his Ju- neau headquarters on the Alaska after a trip to Washington, DC, for the annual meeting of Region al Foresters.
 Dr. Shantz will spend about a month in the Territory with tie aim of establishment of game manage ments units on the forest areas with the ultimate hope of increasing in terests in recreational areas of AL aska under control of the Forest Service, Heintzleman said. Studies will be made of the possibilities in the Glacier Bay district for such a program as well as in other areas. In cooperation with the Alaska Game Commission, studies will be made toward some changes in the bear management plan on Admiralty Island, the Forest official said.
 Management with special empha- sis on feed areas is being carried on successfully in the States, Dr. Shantz said, and in some cases it is found necessary to cut down the supply of wildlife due to it's rapid increase when too well protected in order to keep an equitable balance. The for est areas of the States now support some million and half deer and about 138,000 elks, the official stated.
 Wolf control also will be gone into by Dr. Shantz while in the north.
 Heintzleman reported that he had been given assurance in Washington that Alaska could look for the same CCC activity next year as during the current fiscal year
 Dr. Shantz is a former President of the University of Arizona and has spent many years in wild life work.
