The Republican senatorial nomin- ation from the 32nd district is be- ing sought by a number of promi- nent, and some not so prominent, Republicans. The chief contender for the nomination, however, is William Eustice, first selectman of Terryville. MT. Eustice for years has been elect ed as Republican, first selectman of the Lock Town even though the town goes Democratic at state and national elections.
 For many years MT. Eustice has been one of the parties most loyal workers. AS proof of his popularity it is an accepted fact that he is one of the best Republican vote getters that the g.op. has in the district.
 Senator Curtiss is now the senator from the district, but he will not succeed himself, thus it comes about that Eustice's name will very shortly be inserted into the political pie ture. Bill" is well liked by the peo- pie of Terryille and he is well known through his district.
 It is understood that E. R. Kaiser, first selectman of Thomaston who some time ago announced his candi- dacy for the Republican nomination for high sheriff of the county, does not really want that honor. He has his eye, rather, on the g.o.p. sena- torial nomination. The story goes that Kaiser would like to capture a few delegates and then offer con- promise with Chauncy Hutchins, the uncrowned mayor of Harwinton and one of the witnesses who appeared in Alcorn's big parade in Waterbury to the effect that he would support the candidacy of Henry Moore, of Morris, for the high sheriff post if he (Kaiser) could have the senate nomination.
 At the present time Kaiser is a member of the Republican state cen- tral committee, he knows that if he enters a fight for the party nomina- tion for high sheriff he will become embroiled in a bitter contest.
 He also knows that if he car strike bargain with Hutchins and by supporting Moore's candidacy, cor the senate nomination it will almost mean election.
 The district has never in its long history gone Democratic. Judge Harry Byrnes of Watertown has an- nounced his candidacy for the Dem- mics nomination and Harry intends when he gets the nomination te make plenty of noise in his attempt to win the district.
 Hutchins and Kaiser have beer very friendly of late, a further sigr that deal is in the making.
 Judge James F. Hogan will appar. ently hold his two jobs, (judge ot city and judge of probate) unti August.

THEN WYATT
Good Evening.

When the last student is graduated And merits reached new high When the last seniors have parted Have indulged in their final cry. When the final exercises have ended The prom class day and all, And the campus looks deserted and empty To remain so until early next fall. When the final credits have been added And baccalaureateS come to an end, Trunks all packed and lined up And the baggage all ready to send When teachers have completed all interviews, Handed out their best advice, When all the honorary degrees have been awarded And made for this year to suffice Then comes the moment for relaxation For retiring for time from the mob, Till that awful inevitable moment When it's time to go look for a job.
