From the north on the old planta-
lions of the south, bought Theodore
Ravenel's Low Country plantation,
he paid him 100000 for 1t. When
the papers were signed Hutton
added conversation to his check to
point the continuing difference be-
tween the energetic north and the
slumberous south.
"You southerners," he said in ef-
feet, ARE too sleepy for us wide
awake northerners. I would have
paid $150,000 for this place"
Ravenel, in a land which no
longer grows rice, continues to look
like the perfect rice planter. He
showed no distress at Mr.. Hutton's
revelation.
WELL" he said in the soft voice
Of coastal South Carolina, maybe
so. But I'd have sold the place for
$50,00o."
After that there must have been
recognition between them that in
some respects at least they were
both Americans. And beyond all the
differences, other Americans need to
come, If by less costly ways, to a
similar understanding.

CURRENT TREND IN
State Politics
BY EDWARD J. RYAN

All Is not we'll within the ranks
Of the state Republican party
and most Of the agitation can be
traced to the action of the Re-
publican convention in refusing
to seat Clarence G. willard. state
central committeeman from the
ninth district.
learned today that Chairman
Benjamin E. Harwood will not
call special election In New Ha-
ven's ninth district until after the
state election which means that
the district will be without male
voice In the coming political cam
paign.
Regardless of what action may
or may not be taken, the fact still
remains that Willard Is still head
Of the New Haven Republican
Organization.
At the moment 1t would seem
that the party will need Willard
and his Republican party consid-
erably more than he and his sup
porters will need the Republican
ov0bS VA6oAAAo6VAOAAs
The Republican candidate for
High Sheriff in New Haven
County will be Michael d. Nc
Govern. McGovern has already
received SUFFICIENT support to in
sure his nomination on the first
ballot. The Republicans in Itch
field County win nominate Ernest
e. Novey Of Torrington as their
candidate for the high sheriff
post there. Novey, an ex-service
man with an exceptionally fine
World War record TO his credit,
was elected and re-eleoted mayor
Of the city Of Torrington year
after year. He Is definitely the
best vote getter the Republican
party has in Litchfield county.
States Attorney william Blod-
gett of Winsted has finally an
nounced his candidacy for the Re-
publican congressional nomination
in the Fifth district. Because OF
the great popularity Of Blodgett
I am inclined to make the pre-
diction that he will be the party's
candidate for the congressional
post now held by ]. Joseph Smith.

ton and inequality. Poverty had be-
gun to grow in the south before
tribute was exacted, even before the
Civil War began. 1t has continued
to grow.
TARIFF WALLS
STILL STAND
Nevertheless, If the President acts
even now in aid with the directness
Of this objective and wholly con-
temporary report we might begin 70

We seem--maybe only seem-to be
making some Roadway in the mat
ter Of freight rates, but the tariff,
despite Mr.. Hull's treaties, seems
here to stay in all its fixed foolish
ness as the national and interna-
tional policy Of the world.
The south remains under its COM
plexity, which sometimes seems SO
simple, as much subject for emotion
as william Lloyd Garrison and Har-
riet Beecher Stowe helped to make
1t long ago. And because the Ma
ticnal Emergency Council has pack
ed an amazing amount OF con-
temporary information and encour-
aging intelligence into its brief re-
port is hardly sign that other sec
lions are ready economically to take
the south back into the Union or
that the south is ready economically
to re-enter It,
Indeed, there is some evidence that
nothing is more disturbing else
where than the fear that the south
is escaping from its position as g
colonial appendage of the old con-
uueror regions. Some southerners
are disturbed by the prospect OF bet
ter wages for other southerners
which provide the only certain way
to southern escape from the plague
Of its poverty.
The NEG report and the PreSi.
dent are inseparable. Alone the re
port Is valuable as it informs tbs
nation. But only the President car
make 1t more than another state
ment of the south,s difficulties.
He might make 1t basis for ma.
tional effort to set the south free
from the bondage Of economic
slavery. 1t is still true that a nation
cannot remain half slave, half free.
And it Is increasingly true that
this nation cannot grow as rich az
it wills to be II q region, which

the busiest politician In the town
and the most successful too. If
johnson Is returned to the legis-
lature, he can, because of his past
experience there, secure much re-
cognition for Thomaston and
the people Of Thomaston. It al
ways takes representative at
least one session to get acquaint-
ed. His second term, the legisla-
ture Is usually given important
committee assignments the
third term he is promoted, and so
1t goes until he becomes q recog-
nized leader Of the legislature.
Joe Talbot Of Naugatuck must
be congratulated. Joe Is the Re-
publican candidate for state
treasurer. He is one Of the most
active and loyal workers the
Young Republicans have ever had
Good luck to you, Joe.
The Waterbury delegates to the
Republican state convention went
there each with a suitcase and
their own opinion. They left the
convention with only their suit
cases. They failed to get any rec
ignition on the state ticket. They
failed to make a good impression
on the convention. They failed tc
register with the leaders of the
Republican party. Why? What's
wrong? J. Warren Epson, seemed
to be lost In the fog, looking
around for someone to guide him,
and so did his delegation.
Attorney Maurice Wrenn was at
the convention too, Maurice Is
looking for the Republican NOM
nation for Judge Of Probate. He
seemed rather iii when his friend
william J. Pape was denied a
place on the state ticket.
Senator George T. Culhane is
sure Of nomination to the state
senate. Unless George plays the
political game bit more care
fully. a bit more wise, he may And
1t difficult to be elected.
There are a number Of aspiring
young politicians who are seeking
the senatorial nomination from
the 10th district. The odds at this
writing are on John Tobin.
Attorney Joe Navin is still seek
ing the Democratic nomination
for representative to the general
assembly. Joe is one Of the most
popular young men In town. He
Is a good talker. makes good i'm
preston, he has all the quail
fications necessary for budding
public servant. He should be a
good vote getter for the party.
The number one man in Water
bury politics today Is Chairman
J. Francis Smith. Frank stands
heads and shoulders over ALL
other politicians In waterbury,
and make no mistake about It.
Thus far. during the present
campaign. J. Francis has done re-
markab!y good job, Of creating
and holding the good will Of the
various factions Of the local Dem
cratic party. He did q wonderful
job at the state convention last

D. C.. Deficit
Cut Again

Congressional conferees went
into session today to compromise
District Appropriations at approx
mately $4,000, 900 and reduce the
expected 1889 deficit below
$3,O00,00O.
The exact amount Of the deficit,
1t was explained, will depend on
revenues from the tax bill pend
ing before the House and on cuts
to be determined in appropria-
tions chargeable to the general
fund rather than to the highway
and water funds.
The $47,OO0,0O0 figure, con.
ferees pointed out, will result from
elimination of 40 of the so addi-
tional policemen proposed in the
Senate version of the bill and
from the veto of a plan to pur-
chase Homeopathic Hospital for
