ing public. It is so far.fetched in its attempted analogy between . person shopping in a store and the situation when the same person casts her vote in our approaching election that it hardly needs a re- ply, because we know his readers are not so simple-minded and ig- norant as MT. Pape seems to think they are.
 Real Contest
 If such analogy could be applied to the present choice of the vot- CTS in Waterbury, the writer should have at least made 1t somewhat approximate the existing situation. However, his whole object was to try to alter the fact that the real contest in this election is between the Democratic machine and the Socialists with the Republicans not even in the picture. This is final ly revealed by the last paragraph but one of his article in which he attempts with an airy wave of the hand to dismiss the Socialists from the campaign as something not to be reckoned with in the final re- suits and not to be considered by the voter in deciding for whom he will cast his ballot.
 The more nearly accurate anal ogy would be that there are two stores, both with fancy fronts and both located on the main shopping thoroughfare of the city, to one of which the self-appointed "best people of the city have been going in large numbers, to the other of which most of the people in the city have been going in still larger numbers and both of which have been caught selling not only rancid butter but also 8 number of other gyp products at very high prices with collision between them to keep their prices up and their quality down. There is another store located on @ side street, with out any fancy front, that has been ready for years to serve its customers needs and give them full value for every dollar they spend, but which has so far been

Is 1t not better that Democrats should have rallied to their party and inc sisted on the nomination of candi- dates whom they considered to be entitled to public support?"
 MT. Conlon mentioned the Teapot Dome scandal of the last decade. Chief Justice Hughes and Calvin Coolidge were influential figures in the Harding administration at the time, he said, but their personal honesty was not questioned
 Welfare Of City
 "It is, in the same spirit" he said, "that large group of Water bury Democrats have presented the name of Vincent A. Scully as candidate for mayor. The names of these sponsors have been pulp lished. They include respected and intelligent citizens in all walks of life. They are interested in the preservation of their party and the welfare of the citizens of Water bury"
