an inspiration to the Foresters of America, declared MT. Dunlavey today. "Under his direction, his enthusiasm and executive ability the order prospered. He was the confidante of grand chief rangers and other executives for many years. All admired and respected him"
 Plans were being made today to have the seven subordinate courts of Waterbury represented at the funeral services.
 "Jim" walsh as his record shows lived a very active life, his various positions serving as public contacts to meet and make many sincere friendships. He was gifted with unusual talents, a magnetic person. ality, a contagious smile and ready wit. He was always friendly and sympathetic, but "Jim's" closest friends were always appreciative of his unswerving devotion to ideals and principles that reflected his ex- cellent character and integrity.
 The deceased was a native of Springfield, Mass. He established his home in Meriden in the early 90's and found employment with the Journal Publishing Company. He later became foreman of the Jour- nals composing room. In 1910 he was appointed superintendent of the water department by the late Mayor Thomas L. Reilly who also served as sheriff of the New Ha- ven County and as congressman. From 1913 to 1921 MT. walsh served as collector of internal revenue col- lector of Connecticut. He was chairman of the Democratic state central committee from 1923 to 1880. He was affiliated with the Knights of Columbus, Fraternal Order of Eagles and the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
 MT. walsh, who was acclaimed as the first important state political leader to declare for the presiden- tial nomination of Alfred Y. Smith in 1882, was of late years 8 member of the auditing firm of Walsh and Miller of New Haven. His death early last evening at the Meriden hospital was the result of cere- bral hemorrhage.
 He leaves three daughters, Miss Marion E. Walsh and Mrs. Ray mond J. Fay of Meriden; and Mrs. Mark A. Walsh, Jr., of New York City; two grandchildren; two broth- CTS, Daniel M. and Paul Wash, and four sisters, Mrs. William Guilty, Mrs. James Connor, Mrs. James Kane and Miss Anna Walsh, all of Springfield.
 The funeral will be held Thurs day at 9:30 o'clock at the funeral home of John J. Smith at 226 West Main street, Meriden, with a solemn high Mass of requiem at 10 o'clock in St. Joseph's Roman Catholic church. Burial will be in Sacred Heart Cemetery, Meriden.

Joseph c. pesaubniers, 36, of l6 Chase Park avenue was found guilty of operating 8 motor vehicle while under the Influence of liquor on Sept. 21 and was sentenced to jail for sixty days. He escaped being sentenced for six months as a sec nnd offender when it was learned that his first offense, tlpsy driving, was committed on September 21, 1885 a day before the passage of the state statute made ( jail sen- tence mandatory for drivers con- victed as second offenders. Judge Conway imposed the sixty day ses- sion at the conclusion of a long trial this morning. An appeal to a higher court was taken by Defense Counsel Edward Sweeney.
 In connection with his recent vio- lation the defendant admitted that shortly before he was arrested he had two glasses of beer with Q meal. He denied that he was under the il1- fluence of liquor.
 Three witnesses testified that Desaubnier was sober when he left the restaurant where he is erl- ployed. The accused blamed blow on the nose In an auto accident for the appearance of being "dazed and unsteady on his feet" as ob- served by Motor Patroiinan Alfred Overton.

Political Warn-Ups
By The Casual Observer

Only two weeks to election and old timers will tell you they cannot remember such . quiet pre-election period. whether this Is Democratic strateRy or whether the mayor aS too busy with municipal business and the added burden of defense problems Is anyone's guess.
 Citizens of both parties will tell you the election Is safely In the bag for the Democrats, but no election is ever in the bag, how" ever one sided it may seem.
 50 many former independent Democrats have returned to the regular fold, as Roger Collnor did openly, that the total vote of that group will not amount to what the Republicans hope 1t will. The most damage it can do is to regular Re. publicans who gre competing for the board of education with Independ. ent Democrats nominated on the Republican and Independent tickets. There Is Q Republican sore apcF 1oF you.
 Some Republicans seem to
 think their party Haoguls purpose.
 Iy picked Q weak ticket to knock
 it down and get the political bug
 out of some oe the oaHdiaeleg
 Sygtenis.
 Ordinarily in good times voters are not SO much concerned about taxes and tax rates, but with hl the high federal taxes in effect they will count the local pennies this year as much as during the MghE SsSFs Ss fAs seDE!esaaA'' :" ''"'
 Mayor scully is openly and deh-
 nlteIy for economy and low taxes
 to keep the cost of rents within
 reason and help the little home
 owners. The Republicans don't
 dare promise any extrayagance
 after shouting economy for years.
 So there is no campaign issue
 there.
 
 Some folks think that the fact that MT. Perriello is the first citi- zen of Italian extraction to be Q local candidate for mayor will make a big difference, but experienced political workers say no and point to the state election when MT. Pal- lotti only ran 8 mere 100 votes ahead of his ticket and to New Ha- ven two years ago where Q prom inent and capable Italian business man was defeated on the Repubti- can ticket. There are more Ital, ian Democrats than Italian Repuh- licans in Waterbury and they are as loyal to their party as any group. The majority of them are native born who consider themselves Americans and do not let racial dis- functions enter into their voting. The Republican primary of two years ago when MT. Perriello was defeated showed Italian Republicans, both for and against him. Then, too, there already has been local Ital- ian mayor, Nr. Perxlello himself.

Last August delegates from all sections of the United States reelected him to his high office with 8 vote of confi- dence that eulogized his record of loyalty and efficiency.

 The Republicans lost a lot Of votes when they dumped Alderman Dubois and School Oommissioner Emma Lowell after years of good public service. Jewish Republicans are "Sore" ct the dropping Of Alder. man Reiner without notice or req. son. The Republican ticket for both of these important boards have been decidedly weakened and could have stood for some strengthening instead.
 Voters generally take political campaign promises with q grain of salt, but Mayor 6cuily can speak of his promises 0s two years ago without any embarrassment whatsoever.
