The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-19

Recent death of Walter w. Holmes, former Waterbury broker, carried little meaning to the young men who write politics for Connec- ticut newspapers today. To their predecessors it recalled interesting incidents of stirring days and fierce contests.
 To tell the story it would be nec- essary to go back beyond the brief appearance of MT. Holmes in State affairs. Just after the turn of the century the Republican Party was uppermost. There had been long drawn struggle for supremacy, in- volving Senator Hawley and the old Fyler machine on the one hand; Ex- Governor Morgan G. Bulkeley and his friends on the other, and Samuel Fessenden of Stamford at the third corner of the triangle.
 Bulkeley and Fessenden were ri- vals for Hawley's seat, fighting each other breathlessly till Bulkeley f1n- ally won. At the time there were struggles for control of the party organization. Chairman Fyler was able to beat them off as long as he was able physically to remain active in politics. Then came the redistrict- ing of the State in 1901 and the in- crease in number of senatorial dis tricts from 27 to 35, with core spending increase in the size of the State Central Committees of the two parties.
 Fyler had now been succeeded by Andrew F. Gates, who represented the Fyler group. After district lines were changed, Fessenden was able to control the majority of the dis tricts and he elected Michael Ken ealy of Stamford as chairman of the State Committee.
 Fessenden and Bulkeley were then skirmishing for their last senatorial contest in the Legislature of 1905, for it was known that Senator Haw- ley, growing old and in declining health, would not stand for re-elec- tion.
 Bulkeley won the fight, ex-Gov- ernor Mclean, whose candidacy had been advanced by his friends, drop

Mary C. Wheeler in the Poets Corner,

Their aim is sure their bulletes swift You are, poor thing, the prize, To see your feathers flecked with blood Would light some hunters eyes, Hide far beneath the low brown brush And when you hear their feet. Crouch lower still and guard your heart Lest they might hear it beat. Dare not stray out or you may hear The ring of hunters gun: Lie cold and cramped against the ground While sports enjoy their funl

fuges and the old precepts and com mandments stand forth as truthful and infallible as they were thousands of years ago.
 There is nothing new under the sum. in the way of mans moral dealings with his fellowman and until the world re- sumes and recognizes the infallibility of such teachings civilization will not go forward morally.

Negotiations
For A. & N. G..
Moving Fast:
Daily Dlspapcp. Bureau,
In The Sir Walta~ Hotel.

Raleigh, Sept. 13.-It has becoHe
evident that whatever is to- be done
about the proposed Southern Railway
operation of the Mullet Road froni
Goldsboro to Moreheadi City and Beau
fort will be decided in none. than on
binary quick time.
Last week Governor Clyde r. H0aE
urged directors OF the Atlantic and
North Carolina to, consider seriously
and sympatheticallg plan Whe1epE
the Southern might take operation, or
the road off their hands.
Tomorrow inspection of the situar
ton will be begun at GoldsborO ~
what the governor called "five promr
inent officials of the Southern Kali
way. X
These officials will doubtless report
to the Southerns high, command the
result of their inspection and on. their
report will. hinge the railroads de-
cision whether or not to- go. into q
three-year operating agreement with
the A. and N. G..
So far the only really diSQondant
note in the affair has come out OF
New Bern-a, community which it was
expected would be Pacifiad by pros
poets of custer of H. p Crowell as
managing head of the Mullet and by
a general increase in wages to Muliet
employees, an increase which would
amount to approximately 20 per cent
under the scale paid by the Southern
as compared with the Mullet present
wage rate.
Reports from the Craven capital,
however, indicate fear that shops
there would be closed if the Southern
operates the A. and N. c., which is
probably true What many people feel
the New Bernians overlooked is the |
fact that all operations of all sorts,
shop and otherwise, are likely to stop
in the not too distant future If the |
Southern doesn't take over.

Race Was Close.
And Barlley won, but by only one
majority.
Plenty Of ill-feeling resulted, the

that the fight was one the President

broadeped the Democratic split.
Now in the November; election the
prospects ares that the Republicans
will gain two or three. senate seats.
This will not give the, Republicans
a majority, or within mile of it.
However, where Republican wins
he generally wins, at the expense of
a pro-New Deal Democrat.
Which is equivalent to, saying that,
while labeled Democrats will not be
much. fewer than heretofore, anti
New Deal Democrats will about. hold
their own, whereas pro-New Deal
Democrats will be weakened a trifle.
And only trifle!
But, as to, the Democratic sen
atorial majority, this trifle amounts
to only one vote-rather less than a
trifle.
Senator Barley will be reelected in
Kentucky certainly. Nobody questions

However, when he comes back to
