against Smith for giving the Works" to Joe Tone who was seeking the Democratic nomin- ation for Lieutenant Governor. Certainly 1t is agreed by all po- htical experts that Tone would have been great asset to the Ticket and his defeat at the hands of Dave Fitzgerald of New Haven, Francis T. Maloney of Meriden, Robert A. Hurley of Bridgeport and J. Francis Smith did the party no good.
 Contrary to gossip around the city concerning the bill which would unseat Mayor T. Frank Hayes and set up a commission it can be truthfully said that this is not the work of Senator George T. Culhane or Rep. Hugo Gus taferri.
 notice that Senator Edward J. Egan is cold toward Senator George T. Culhane Culhane and Egan sit next to each other :. and certainly Culhane knows political procedure having served in the legislature on two other occasions. therefore you would assume that member of the same party and coming from the same city would be on friendly terms. if only for outward ap- pearances. And 1t isn't Gull hane's fault either.
 Rep. Daniel Mahaney is the best champion that ex-service men have in the legislature. Dan despite the fact that he isn't the most experienced legislator in the General Assembly is one of the most POPULAR. And best liked. (By the way what about the French telephones, Dan).
 Although no mention has been made of it. Geo. Culhane has in- troduced a bill which would throw Robert Hurley, public works com- missioner out of his job. The bill would bring the Public Works Dept, and the State Highway Dept, under one head.
 Another Culhane bill would abolish the present Liquor Control Board, and would create County commissioners. right on the button George.
 Roy Rice is conducting the same vigoriolis campaign that he put on for his congressional fight for the job of Superintendent of the Con- necticut State Police. Litchfield County certainly should get some recognition and that recognition should go to Rice.

Looking over the faces of the IT Democratic senators one thing that impresses itself upon your mind Chat is if you know politics., is the absence, of ex-Senator Joseph Cooney of Hartford. If Cooney was in the Senate this year things might look brighter for the Dem- ocrats.

TALK ON CRIME
BY T0LLEFS0N

1T costs more than twice as
much for law enforcement as il
does for the maintenance of the

Wednesday evening when he spoke
at the meeting of the Lincoln High

age of criminals is 10 and de.
clared that investigation shows
the majority of law-breakers had
no foundation in building char
acter.' Continuing. he said:
We are spending all our money
for those who have already COM
mitted a crime instead OF spend
ing it on the youngsters who are
between the ages of six and u.
We must see that the youth of to-
day has a foundation in character
and that he is trained to lead a
better moral life
Attending the meeting. were

schools of Tacoma.
