Has Definite Purpose

Some days ago in a public address J. Walter Darley, Secretary of the Demo cratic State Central Committee, stressed the importance of local organization in a political campaign. And he also pointed out that the State Central Committee maintains headquarters the year round now for the sole purpose of coordinatlng the work of all local political organiza tions of the Democratic Party. A good many people fail to realize the vast i'm portance of this work. Many scoff at the need of an expensive organization such as this.
 Democrats need only turn back few years to see how much progress their party has made in this state. Up until 10SO Democrats had little or no chance of succeeding in being elected to state or national office, unless they were swept into office in national landslide. It was different in local communities, though, where Democratic successes were ire quent and pronounced. This was due, of course, to the efficacy of the local organization which functioned as any political machine would in lining up and getting out substantial majority of the voters.
 With the election of Dr. Wilbur L. Cross III 4S0U Ckl6 IlGCO O1 q SLIOAAE OASdAAAAo1AOAA in the state was recognized and acted upon. Since then the Democratic State Central Committee has set up an organ ization which functions not merely at state and national election time, but which also is on the job throughout the year ready to aid the local town or city committee in it's efforts for party success. With 169 towns in this state holding annual or biennial elections there is much to be done in seeing that all manner of election laws are compiled with and that the party functions as it should.
 We really feel that the fine work ac- complished by the Democratic Party in state as solidly Republican as was Con- necticut for so many years is too often overlooked. Those accomplishments were not just by chance nor did they follow solely in the wake of the New Deal. They were the result of much hard work on the party of party aides. Only a continua- tion of such tactics will enable the party to remain factor in deciding future national, state, and local elections.

Lifetime Honors

President Roosevelt spoke wisely on the subject of naming public buildings, schools, parks, etc., for living personages when he said that he did not think his name should be given to any during his own lifetime. Since the New Deal came into existence there has been deluge of Roosevelt Parks, Roosevelt Schools, and other such titles all over the nation. Even here in Connecticut we had little exper- fence with the use of the Roosevelt name.
 Many communities follow the old rule of naming public buildings only for de- ceased persons whom they want to honor. That should be followed more generally and there would be less argument over the matter on polite basis That's what happened in this state down in Fairfield County. Town fathers decided to change the name of park or forest and substi-

Watching Politicians

A group of New York citizens has organized to watch political maneuvers in the coming elections. The body calls itself the Independent Committee on Political Techniques. Among it's aims is to guarantee that politics will be honest. Sincere citizens who take their franchise seriously will applaud the motives of the New York committee. The movement sponsored by the group is one that could be put to advantageous use in other con- munities.
 Most voters are interested in honesty, not alone in the financial kind but in moral honesty. They are interested in the things their candidates say, in the charges they make and the promises they fling about. Politics is not the God given grant of select few. It is a heri- tage to be shared by everyone in the com munity. A group earnestly desiring to keep political figures in line can be decided asset wherever it may spring up.

tute another name for the original ROose- welt. Democrats of the town charged them with playing politics.
 The same thing probably happens a dozen times in many a community throughout the nation, where a mans name is placed on a building, perhaps because he donated the funds to build 1t or perhaps for some entirely different reason. But often there comes time when a group of citizens or officials thinks the name should be changed. This may be brought about by later events in the distinguished citizens life which makes the honor paid him dubious one.
 The U. S. Post Office Department won't honor a living person with a postage stamp. The practice should be carried out more thoroughly where the good ot the general public is concerned. We're glad President Roosevelt has clamped down on promiscuouS use of his name. It makes us appreciate him all the more.

The Hartford Times is advancing its own candidate or the Democrats in the gubernatorial race this year. It recog- nizes the fact that Dr. Wilbur L. Cross is still available despite his 1883 defeat after four successive terms in office and it also notes that boom for former Labor Com missioner "Joe" Tone was launched in Litchfield County, but The Times sees in Judge Origen s. Seymour of Litchfield real worthwhile candidate. His name has been heard in public life much more ire ouently the last few years than it had for many before that time. At the present time he is judge of the Common Pleas Court for Litchfield County, as well as trustee of the Norwich State Hospital. He has never been politically inclined and it remains to be seen whether or not The Times can make force of him in the campaign that is to come this year. Much depends on the set-up in our state party organization.

As a result of these two sections of study, coupled with the instructions now being given at the Waterbury Catholic high school every Monday evening, and by corporate worship, we will gradually learn to see the sit- uation in which we live; to judge 1. e. having grasped both the Catholic position and the position of those outside of the church, we will be able, by comparing the one with the other, to judge the validity of any scheme that may be proposed, to deal with the situation of our times; to act by first living a Christian social life amongst ourselves, and secondly, by advocating our doctrine as the true solution of modern evils. As our Holy Father has said, "The life must be first lived, the life of 8 Christian group" then comes action. That &C., tion will be Catholic action. Mean while take courage, my friends.

New Britain is almost as sad as Hart ford these days over postage stamp. At one time New Britain thought that per, haps the Hardware City might be honored among the Famous American series Of stamps now being issued. Elihue Bur ritt was selected as the candidate to grace an adhesive, but he was not picked among the thirty-five authors, poets, ed ucators, inventors, artists, scientists, and composers. And later efforts to have him singled out during 1940, the 13Oth annl- versary of his birth, have proved una vailing. The P. O. Department has too many commitments for 194O to promise a Burritt stamp.

Census Ahead!

Waterbury is naturally very much 1n- terested in the outcome of the federal census here this year. Just ten years ago the city was in the throes of getting ready to vault into the 100000 class. Just what difference it actually makes whether city is few thousands above or below the 100000 mark in population has never been fully explained, but nonetheless there is sort of pride that goes with the knowledge that you can tell friends from other cities that Waterbury's population is above 100000 We all know, though, that 1880 failed to bring the 100000 classification despite mortified protests from all sides.
 We can recall, too, that the same feel ing predominated in 1920. All of us knew that the war days had boomed Waterbury's population tremendously, but few failed to take into consideration that there was an immediate resettle- ment of populace right after the war. But things should be different now. We are again convinced that the 194O census figures will show the city's population in excess of 100000. Other semi-official figures would bear this out, although they also did this ten years ago.
 One way to make sure that the city goes over the 100000 figure is to assist loo per cent in the taking of the census locally. Complete cooperation of each and everyone of us will assure the census takers of thorough checkup in every section of the town. Let's assist in every way possible.

tend to swing the election to Jones, which for, the first time in years would free Louisiana from Hueyism.
 THE REAL FACTS
 Rumors of Third Louisiana Purchase have become so persist ent recently that The Washing ton Merry Co., Round has made a careful check of the facts, and is able to report the following:
 The first primary election in Louisiana this year took place on January 16. The week before January 16,, a federal grand jury was sitting in New Orleans con- 'sidering indictments for selling hot oil. Among those whom the grand jury had under investiga- tion were William Helis, one of the biggest oil operators in Lou isiana, and his partner, Robert Maestri, mayor of New Orleans and backbone of the Long ma chine.
 On Friday, January 12, while the grand jury was in session, John Rogge, assistant attorney general In charge of the Justice Departments criminal division, got telephone cal lfrom Wash ingt0n and stepped out of theh

The second was in 1936 when the Roosevelt Administration sud- denly wired the U. s. district at torney in New Orleans to drop the income tax suits against Sey- mour Weiss and other Huey Long supporters. Shortly thereafter Seymour Weiss, previously bitter against Roosevelt, appeared at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia as an enthusiaS- tic Roosevelt rooter, and tlleh en- tire Louisiana delegation voted for the Presidents nomination.
 Now in 1940 comes the report of a Third Louisiana Purchase. A good part of New Orleans is buzzing with rumor that the grand jury investigation of the Maestr1- Long machine, whiche rules south ern Louisiana, suddenly has been dropped on orders from Washing ton. Furthermore, it is reported that in eturn fo this the Maestri- Long machine will support Roose- welt for a third term.
 The run-off primary election in Louisiana takes place on F'eb- ruary 20, winding up the hot gub- ernatorial race between Huey's brother, Earl Long, and Sam Jones. Further indictments of the Macs .tri-Long machine would of course
