things considered equal this
should be a boomerang 70 the
candidacy Of Paul Cornell. who
invaded this state only four years
ago and who Is now seeking the
highest tribute the state COP.
can give him. Cornell's boom In.
cldentally is not being received
any too we'll up here. 30 MI
Pape you have just read your an.
nouncement In the opposition pa
per.
Alderman Joe Relner humor Is
not 10 humorous these days, ac-
cOrding 10 the boys In the know
there Is q reason.
The selection Of Doc J'Anthony
Al secretary OF the waterbury
Republican town committee may
prove 70 be q very embarrassing
selection within the next few
months.
Some Of the "Crackers" In the
Republican organization turned
thumbs down on Frank PallOtu
as q delegate 70 the national Re-
publican convention because
Frank appointed Nick Reggc, one
Of the finest and cleanest men
have ever met around the state
capitol, ~ his secretary. The
Boys wanted . certain Mr.. Ave-
rim appointed 10 that Job.
Funny how all the Republicans
are jumping on the bandwagon OF
President Roosevelt. Old you
catch the play? Hoover, Landon,
Knox and other big wigs in the
national Republican picture were
quick 10 agree that the presidents
defense program was q natural.
Even the governor, Of tiliS state
Jumped on the band wagon.
which leaves the Republicans
"Out on the limb" 80 TO speak.
Comes the day when Republican
ward heeiers and door bell pusherS
start UP and down the highways
and byways In an attempt 10 sell
the Republican cause. Says Mr..
and Mrs. American vote for the
Republicans, why? The pres
ident was right when he said we
needed o national defense equal
TO none. Says the ward worker
Eyes but that was something
which was patriotic. Says Mr..
and Mrs. American" Then It's pa.
triotic for me 10 vote the way ]
want TO vote"
Some Of the columnlsts have
taken certain employees Of the
state Of Connecticut for 0 sleigh
ride. 10 seems that o number Of
convicted fel0ns are holding some
mighty important positions with
the state Of Connecticut while
honest decent people cannot find
joNs. Says ono c0lumists docs II
nay 20 be honest?" ( wouldn't
know would you Jim? Or per.
haps we should ask about twenty
five others up here what they
think, they paid for their crimes
or did they, and Should be In o
position 20 know.
Governor Baldwin'S radio
speech Oh Sunday afternoon failed
fniserably 10 click, II you know
what mean. II seemed at times
that he was attempting 10 recitc
poetry. He talked about the
brown autumn leaves, the wind.
Ing brooks and lastly about the
present Friendly government"
which Ia supposed 10 be 50 friend.
~ toward labor, and which had
levied no additional taxes on the
people.
Well I have heard Democratic
leaders talking about that friend
~ government and let me say
here and now that they are pre-.
pared 10 make those political by.
words of Baidwin's 90 into o very
definite tall spin.
United States Senator John A.
Danaher will be the only Repub-
lican member Of the United states
Senate who will not attend the
national Republican convention
as . duly elected delegate.
Did we hit that appointment OF
the personnel director on the
nose? You bet we did. As q mat
ter OF fact the city editor has had
that name on the wall before
him In the city room for the past
week. Democrats are asking how
did I know. There are lots OF
things I know UP here In the Ca
pitol. Some Of those things
hear am compelled TO keep 10
myself, other stories : hear ]
feel you should know.
There IL going 10 be open war
fare within the ranks Of the state
Republican party In the very near
future and you can just tuck this
statement into q corner Of your
mind for future reference.
