For State Senator

Barringer, who has been an unsuc- cessful Socialist candidate for office an the past, will oppose Senator Edward P. Egan.
 Barringer's name was proposed by a nominating committee appointed by Chairman Floyd Rasmussen. "IS this 8 Republican or a Socialist convention?" asked MT. Dillane."
 Fighting Party
 "As long as I'm the state central committeeman in the 18th district, the Republican party is going to be a fighting party" said MT. Ras- lnusSen. I'm looking ahead for the party, I'm sick of seeing the party workers left behind the eight bsll, and from now on the workers are going to be recognized instead of the privileged few, as has been the case in the past.
 MT. Dillane failed in a motion to have the nominating committees report rejected and the committee discharged.
 I'd like to nominate a Republi- cNn," said MT. Dillane, offering the name of Frank J. Roberts. If he is defeated we can have the satisfac- ton of voting for a Republican. I'm sick of this half-duck, half chicken business, of this cross be- tween mules and jackasses I see as | look around here, I think we've

had enough of it. If you're So- cialist, be a Socialist; if you're a Republican, be a Republican. If you nominate a Socialist you will lose Republican votes. have nothing against this man, but the party will lose more votes than it will gain.
 Not Unanimous
 The nomination of the Socialist candidate was voted, "A, but MT. Dillane refused to vote for a motion to make the nomination unanimous.
 In the 18th district convention, MT. Posts name was offered by Oscar F. Warner. Alderman William Kol- beck nominated MT. Petrillo.
 Attorney George J. Crocicchia and other Perriello men voted for Post rather than Petrillo, swinging the balance. It was recalled that they had charged that Petrillo received the organization nomination for tax collector last year because he had worked against Mayor Perriello in the Republican primary.
 The Post nomination was made unanimous, on motion of MT. Pe- trillo.
 No great enthusiasm seems to have bene generated by either of the senatorial nominations. Many Republicans question the strategy of attempting to win the 18th distric from the Democrats by endorsing a Socialist candidate.

SWEENEY RITES
 TOMORROW S:3O
Retired Naugatuck School Teacher Taught TOu-
 sands in 50 Years

Naugatuck, Oct. 1.-The funeral of Miss Theresa Sweeney of 180 Hillside avenue, retired school teacher here who died Saturday night at her home, will be held to- morrow morning at 8:30 from the residence to St. Francis church at g o'clock, where a soemn high mass of requiem will be celebrated. Burial will be in St. James cemetery.
 In the passing of Miss Sweeney, the borough has lost one who gave 50 years of teaching service here. and who has taught thousands of local residents. Miss Sweeney re- tired several years ago after com- p.eting a record here of which she could well be proud.
 But her friends knew that Miss Sweeney was more the type of per- son who would be delighted to get the opportunity to render such ex- cellent and lengthy service to the town, rather than to glory in the service she gave.
 She was born here, the daughter of the late Edward and Ann Swee- ney, and was educated in local schools. She first taught in the Union City school district, and later took position in the Rubber avenue school shortly after the school was built. She was principal of this school for many years.
 Highly intelligent and with keen knowledge of child psychology, she had the respect and regard of those who studied under her.
 She leaves one sister, Miss Eliza beth Sweeney of Naugatuck, also a former school teacher here, and a brother, Frank, of West Haven, and 19 nieces and nephews.
 Friends may call at the residence until the time of the funeral.

CONAN ELOPES
WITH GEORGE RANKEN

NEW YORK, March 1.-R)-To-
days romantic story concerns George
NJ. Cohan's blue-eyed daughter,
Mary. and comes with many a sigh,
many an elfish grin, from Joe Fer
nandez. proprietor of Mon Paris, a
53rd street night spot.
Mary, who sings in Joe's place,
eloped at 3:15 a. M, with George
Ranken, who serves up hot accordion
pieces in the same spot, said Joe.
They left by automobile with Miss
Cohan's brother, George M. Cohan,
Jr., for Evansville, Berks county, Pa.
The elder Cohan was fit to be tied
- years ago when Mary eloped with
a banjo player, and friends of Mary's
wondered how he would feel about
the accordionist.
Mary is 80. Her first husband was
Neil Lift. She has a daughter Pene-
lope.
