Harmony for the Democratic Party
predict l shall be a Democrat long
after you have joined outmoded poll
teal philosophy that is now closest to
your heart and that only expedience
and convenience precludes your i'm
mediare affiliation.
1 trust that your letter has ended
personal attacks and that you will in
the future abide by your own pro-
nouncement that this Campaign
would be devoid of personal attacks.
An aroused Populace has little
interest and shall become increasingly
indignant at any further efforts to
draw red herrings across the trail in
an attempt to discredit me. No one
can discredit our jealous movement
and its endorsement of wholesome,
clean, unselfish, tolerant and intelli-
gent government that may always
stand the light of day. Peace and
Victory is to be desired. Certainly we
win not accept victory without honor,
but emphatically do we demand and
cherish peace with honor.
In closing permit me to state that
the letter was obviously not of your
own composition, otherwise so many
errors of fact so well known to you
could not have crept in under your
alleged signature.

KINGS STATEMENT
July 8, 1888

Dear Sir:
1t has come to my attention that
certain remarks have been attributed
to me in reference to Pressure
placed on me while I was q member
OF the Board of County Com mission
ers. l was one of the Democrats who
ran on the Fusion ticket, and was
elected in 1884. AS Democrat, after
my election, with the future of Mont
gomery County uppermost in my
mind, l realized that united Demo
cratic Party would be able to present
to the tax payers of Montgomery
County in 1888 the most effective and
satisfactory possible Government.
Never at any time was any pres
sure brought to bear upon me by any
person connected with the Harmony
movement now sweeping Montgomery
County. The only pressure ever
brought upon me was by those whose
personal ambitions now conflict with
the desire of all Democrats to openly
and honorably unite under one banner
with representation for all organized
factions fairly proportioned.
l am glad that my friend and sue
cessor, Mr.. Clay Plummer, was among
the persons who made the reuniting
of all Democrats possible, and / know
that he and the members of the Dem
ocrat Board of County Commission
ers who will be elected in the Fall,
will be able to work tremendously to-
gether and with all other branches Of
the State and County Government.
The cooperation that produces eff
cheney in Government is possible only
under united party program.
Mr.. Plummer's conduct as a Demo
crat is entirely consistent with any
obligation which we assumed as Fuss
ionists in 1894. I hope that my many
friends throughout Montgomery
County will give the Democratic
Party as now united, their full sup
port as am.

PARKERS NOT TO
 BE EXTRADITED

Trenton, N. J., Jan. 26.-CUP)- Gov. A. Harry Moore said today that he would not grant the request of District Attorney William F. x. Geoghan of Brooklyn to extradite Ellis H. Parker and his namesake son for trial on charges of kidnap- ing Paul H. Wendell, an outgrowth of the Kidnapping of Charles A.
 Lindbergh, Jr.
 Moore said his refusal to grant eXtradition was based on the fact that the Parkers already had been convicted of violating the Lindbergh law as result of the Wendell kid naping. Recalling their conviction in Newark, Moore said that an ap- peal from this conviction still was pending before the courts.
 Moore said he could not justify eXtradition of the Parkers outside New Jersey until the federal court appeal is adjudicated.
 The elder Parker, detective who initiated an independent investiga- tion of the Lindbergh Kidnapping while Bruno Richard Hauptmann's trial was ill progress, is under sen- tence to serve six years in federal penitentiary. His son was sentenced to serve three years. Both are at liberty under bail pending disposi- tion of their appeals.

Lobar Pneumonia Results In B Deaths Here Serum Ready|

first "A hours of illness, only about five per cent of the patients die as compared with omre than 30 per cent of the patients that do not receive serum.
 The department has furnished serum from types l and 2 for sev- eral years, and will now add serum for types 4, 5, and 8. These six types cause about half to two-thirds of all lobar pneumonia and perhaps a fourth of all broncho pneumonia, and an even greater proportion of the deaths. It is essential, however, that the physician be called early ad that sputum coughed up from the lungs be saved in a clean cup so that the doctor can send a sam- ply immediately to the laboratory for typing and thereby learn which type serum to administer.
 Serum Available
 Serum for types 1 and 2 will be available in sufficient quantity that local health officers may order sup plies in advance and have them on hand when needed. For the other types the supply in the marget is limited and it will be distributed from depots in the larger city de- partments of health as much as pos sible. Typing of pneumonia infec- tion is essential. Upon request of the health officer, the serum may be delivered to the messenger who brings sputum to the laboratory for typing if the type is found to be one for which serum is available.

NEW COLD WAVE. IN NEW ENGLAND
Snow Flurries May Acc company It-CoId Will
 Avert Flood Dangers

Boston, Jan. 26.-(UP)-A new cold wave accompanied by possible snow flurries headed toward New England today in the wake of heavy rains, southerly gales and spring like temperatures that melted 15 inches of snow and caused rivers and streams to overflow their banks.
 The cold weather probably will avert any serious flood threats. Most of the low-lying land already flooded is unoccupied.
 However, American Legionnaires used a boat to rescue two invalids from flooded homes at Keene, N. H. At South Lowell, supplies were taken by boat to 100 stranded families. Another 80 families were marooned temporarily at Peabody.
 Carried Off on Ice Cake
 James Boyle, 6, son of National Secretary Daniel J. Boyle of the Leather Workers Union, was car- ried away on an ice cake in Strong water Brook at Peabody. John Mo- Nulty, 45, dived into the brook and rescued him as the ice cake neared a culvert.
 High winds grounded planes at Boston airport, ripped the roof from a Brandon, Vt., house and de- molished hangar at Bangor, Vt.
 A landslide covered the Canadian Pacific railroad tracks at Ryegate, Vt., and delayed Boston Montreal trains two hours.
 At Natick, water six feet deep filled an overpass on Worcester turnpike. The Lawrence-Peabody highway was submerged in several places. Ice blocked the Keene- Troy road in New Hampshire.

NEW PLANES FOR
 MEXICO ON WAY

East Hartford. Conn, Jan. 26- UP) - Ten silvery observation planes, the Mexican army's most modern fighting unit, took of today from Rentschler field for a forma- ton flight to Mexico City. Fire broke cut in one of the planes just before the takeoff but it was quickly ex- tinguished without causing serious damage. It did not delay the flight. There were 13 officers and a me- chanic in the flight, under command of Lieut.. Col. Fafael Montero and Maj. Antonio Lojero.
 The ten Chance Vought CorSairs, identified by Col. Montero as scout bombers. and equipped with bomb racks under each wing and machine gun placements before each cockpit, expected to reach Mexico City some time tomorrow, depending on wealth CT conditions. The announced itin- erary was Washington, Columbia, s. C., Nashville. Tenn, Shreveport, Miss, San Antonio, Tex. Laredo, Mex, and Mexico City. Should bad weather be predicted south of Wash ington, Col. Montero said Cincinnati would be substituted for the Colum- bia stop.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-01-26

Cooperating with the state de- partment of health, the Waterbury department, by Dr. Edward J. God frey, city health officer, announced today a program of providing type serum to combat lobar pneumonia, a disease which has caused three deaths in Waterbury so far this year.
 Serum Available
 The city health department has on hand four of the six types of serum which currently are being used to fight the disease in its early stages. Two additional types will be on hand Friday, supplied by the state department, which is estab- fishing a 24-hour service to provide physicians throughout the state with complete laboratory facilities.
 pr. Godfrey remarked that there were three cases of the disease re- ported during the last week and that there have been calls for the serum, ill some instances, this year. He said that the department has on hand enough of the four types, 5, ', and 3, and will hay? 4 and 8 on Friday, should physicians be unable to obtain the toxoidS at drug houses.
 State Announcement
 The announcement by the state health department explains the mat ter as follows:
 Beginning February l, in order to meet the great emergency of pneu- monia cases, the State Department of Health's laboratory at Hartford will furnish a complete pneumonia service. "A hours day, Sundays and holidays included, and this will be continued to aid physicians in fighting this disease throughout the pneumonia season to June 30, the department announced today.
 The department at the same time that funds have become available through the U. s. Public Health Service not only for furnish ing this laboratory service. but also to provide type-specific antipneu- serum for six types of pneumococcus instead of two as The department will furnish the Sera free to Connecti- cut citizens upon whom payment would work a financial hardship. To avoid delay in obtaining serum for others, arrangements have been made for anyone to obtain serum and pay for it at the usual price. All money received in this way will be used to purchase additional serum and thus to make limited funds go further in providing for the needs of the people of the state.
 Typing Important
 The night and day laboratory service will include typing of all known types of pneumococcus, doing agglutination tests on patients blood to help the physician deter mine when enough serum has been given and doing blood cultures to find out if the pneumonia germ is present in the blood, in which case larger doses of serum are required A worker will be on duty at the laboratory until mid- night each night and may be cached by telephone at other times. The service is free to all physicians Il the state. Information as to how t may be utilized has already been sent to all physicians.
 Every case of pneumonia is viewed ,y the department as an emergency immediate attention, be-
