Tony BorreM Gains; So Does Peggy Lemere
Boy Leading Girl in Contest as Final Period Starts With Rivalry Rampant-Votes Count Most
 Now to Determine Winners

Here's the latest in standings of THE MOST POPULAR BABY CONTEST and it affects the two leaders only. today, folks.
 Anthony Borrelli, IS months old son of MT. and Mrs. Salvatore Bor- relli, of IA Cherry street, has gained 5,400 votes and now has a grand total of 127,O00.
 Margaret Lemere, year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Albert Le- mere, of 265 South Main street, gained 2,400 votes and now has grand total of 121, 400.
 Many Prizes ,.
 Others behind the leaders are promising to make strong showing within the week, or the first of next week, as THE MOST POPU- LAR BABY CONTEST reaches the final stages. There is not much time left before the final account ing when 1t will be known who will get the $100 cash grand first prize, beautiful loving cup and the title, MOST POPULAR BABY OF lSoO. VT, pIlc Otilcl pIAnCo, %oV cash and a loving cup for second; $25 cash and loving cup for third; 12 beautiful portraits, fourth; five prizes of $5 cash each, for the next highest scores.
 And now for some "inside stuff" folks. Seems the leaders in the CONTEST have been battling back and forth for the past several weeks and has it been hectic for the CONTEST MANAGER and the baby editor! And HOW, it HAS!
 Sought Count
 First, one of the generals of the Tony Borrelli campaign would come in with a block of votes and want to know how Tony stood; then one of the Lemere commanders-in- chief would appear and ask about Peggy's standing.
 The CONTEST MANAGER and the baby editor have been right in the middle, what with calls by the score over the telephone, and

the necessity cf trying to get the subscriptions counted SO that the standings might be figured. It has been plenty hard work.
 Votes TabuIated
 Now, so far as the official count is concerned, the CONTEST is on an even keel again and both leaders have checked up to determine how many of their subscriptions are official. They all counted.
 The race is on for the first prize. And may the champion named at the conclusion of THE MOST POPULAR BABY CONTEST re- fleet the good sportsmanship of his, or her, parents, and when the prizes are awarded, make a nice little speech, along these lines.
 Hypothetical Speech"
 'To all who have helped me to win THE MOST POPULAR BABY CONTEST, my sincereset thanks, And to my competitors, nice going. It is my regret that not all of us could win and I'm sure that next time someone other than I is likely to be the more fortunate and will win first prize, instead of second, or third"
 Or something like that. Anyhow, the rivalry between the leaders has been terrific and continues to be so HOT that the CONTEST MAN AGER can't tell from day to day what is going to happen, who will be ahead. This is, without doubt, the most exciting contest ever run in the history of contests in Wa terbury.
 And we want everyone to keep goodwill during its tenure, regardless of the rivalry that is bound to be part of every contest. Not every one can win, of course. But there's always a next time. WATCH FOR THE STANDINGS.

Relief Appropriation
Cut Is Advocated
By MtKe||ar
Tennesseeon Doubts
Thot Roosevelt Will
Seek Third Term

The incoming Congress should
scale down relief appropriation
Senator McKellar, Democrat, of
! Tennessee, member of the Ap-
propriations Committee, declared
: today, predicting improvement in
private employment during the COM
ing year. Speaking of the relief
fund, the Tennesseean said:
sI do not think it should be as
large as it has been"
Relief will be one of the first
problems confronting the lawmak-
ers, since the current fund was not
intended to last beyond the end of
February
Senator McKellar said the appro-
priation bills for all governmental
activities would comprise one of the
most important tasks of the ses-
sion, in connection with which he
; expressed hope Congress will be as
economical as possible" He said he
would not know until figures are
available whether the adminiStra-
tion's national defense program
would interfere with curtailment of
expenditures. He pointed out the
defense plans might not require a
large outlay in the first year.
Asked to comment on the recent
suggestion of Senator Guffey, Dem
ocrat, of Pennsylvania and others
that President Roosevelt should
seek third term, Senator Nickel
! lar said:
], my idea is the President will not
: run. OF course, have never talked
to him about it, but l assume he
!. will not"
Senator McKellar said he will be
prepared to introduce as soon as
the session starts his bill to author
tze the planning of second 18TH
mian canal across Nicaragua to aug
ment the Panama Canal. He an
nounced two months ago that he
has become more convinced than
ever of the need for another canal
The project, he said, might give
q great many Americans employ
ment, and the time is rapidly ap-
preaching when we will need both
canals"
Some changes in the farm law
probably will be necessary at this
session, the Senator said, but he
was not prepared to propose de-
tailed amendments. He voiced the
hope ways could be found to in
crease Americas foreign trade.
