 Regardles of who might try to get the Democratic senatorial nomination from T0rringtOn this fall, it is an accepted fact that Senator Anthony TelescO can have it for the asking.
 Many are of the opinion that because Tony is not saying any thing about his plans concerning the senate job, he doesn't want it. That is all wrong. Senator Telesco is merely bidding his time. If anything better offers itself he will crab that how ever Telesco is sure to seek re- nomination to the Senate and further more he is sure of get ting it. He will be elected too, as he rightfully deserves.
 The Postmasters of Litchfield County voted, last week, to en- dorse Gus Lonergan for renomin- ation to the United States Sen- ate. This meets with the approval of most of the voters. There are some of course who oppose this action and base their arguments on the fact that Postmasters are not supposed to take any active part in politics. It is free country, postmasters, like the rest of us, have just as much right to express their political opinions.
 Checking around I find that a person who holds a rather fair job on the WPA in one of the towns forgot to vote at the last election . We'll it proves one thing . you don't have to be politician to get a job on the WPA.
 Republicans in Watertown are taking the remarks of Judge liar ry Byrnes in which the Judge states that WatertoWn will go Democratic this fall, with a smile. They are willing to lay the Judge odds that he is wrong.
 Dudley Manchester of Winsted is definitely out of the race for the Republican nomination for high sheriff. Not that he will ad- init it. But it is true. Manches- ter hopes to gather together a few votes for the convention in order to make compromise by which he might profit. Perhaps as a deputy sheriff. Perhaps some thing better.
 in the General Assembly in 1889 ask people in all walks of life from the clock town? This year the town is going to see one of the hottest political campaigns that it has ever witnessed. Demo- crats are planning on a victory, come election day. They feel that the time is ripe for Thomas ton to join other cities and towns in the made scramble to turn to the Democratic columns.
 Despite the hue and cry raised hesitancy of the Th0maston Town Committee in sponsoring a "Beckwith for Sheriff" organiza- tiOn, there will, nevertheless, be such an organization formed in the clock town.
 l am told that it is not that the town committee is opposed to Beckwith, not by any means, but some of the members feel that it is not good politics to declare in favor of a candidate so early in the campaign.
 If Bcckwith gets the nOmina- tiOn for high sheriff on the demo- cratic ticket, which he will, the town committee in ThOmast0n will work just as hard for him, no doubt, as any town commit tee in the county.
 In the meantime, plans for the formation of the "Bcckwith for Sheriff" organization are going right ahead, town committee or no town committee.

Connie gasped. For moment
she almost forgot that he had been

young man. But then she had

the young man called it. he told
Connie more about himself. Al
though he insisted it was not in

his life had been so different
from hers.
His name was Bret Hardesty.
He came from plain, honest peo-
pie; middle class. He had made
his own way in the world since
he had been big enough to start
peddling papers and running err
rands.
"Since them" he confided with
his frank grin, "I've done about
everything there is, l guess. Ran
away with q circus once; joined
the navy to see the world. Been
stevedorc, a salesman, ditch
digger, tramp. But now,' he
spoke with pride, as well as de-
termination, "I've found what |

And what are you building

Virginia" His dark eyes took on
a PARKWAY look that showed he
was a dreamer, as well as a man
who did things. "You should see
that country if you think this is
pretty. Hills blue-green, covered
with virgin timber, skies as blue
as that baby's eyes, air so clear
and sweet its tonic to your
soul. :"
