lVCtWO8E8G EWhAt&CasA. 0s&WUEGGEyf K < Hotel Bond, Hartford, Sept. 11zl ''Neither Ray Baldwin nor is tal ing any part in this fight for the lieutenant . governor nomination, and don't let anybody tell you that we are"
 with those words, State Chairman. J. Kenneth Bradley concluded an interview with the writer early this morning in the crowded hotel suite that serves as his headquarters. At- fable, smiling and apparently lin- worried, MT. Bradley freely dis cussed recent state political .devel- opments, including the contest, which promises to be historic, be-. tween Glare Boothe Luce of Green. wich and Vivien Kellenis of Vest port for the congressional nomina- ton in the fourth district. ~,
 Power Politics .t
 One thing I don't like is power politics." said the. state chairman emphatically. T don't like to be told what to do, and ! don't like any attempts to force me into do- ing anything. That's what I object to in Miss Kellems' campaign; that's where MT. Pape's friends have made a mistake" x..a
 what had the Pape supporters done?
 well, I'll out it this way" said MT. Bradley, From sources close to the Pape campaign headquarters I've been told that MT. Pape's papers are ready to go all-out against Governor Baldwin unless he agrees to support MT. Pape for lieutenant governor. That's politics of the kind I have no use for.
 Ray Baldwin and I want only to see the best possible ticket selected, a ticket that will win. When Bill Pape came to see about his candi- dacy, he asked only that we keep hands of any contest for lieutenant governor. I told him that we would, and my word is as good as my bond. We have done nothing to help Bill Hadden or anyone else for heuten" ant-governor. As far as I'm con- cerned, and this goes for Governor Baldwin, it's a wide open fight and may the best man win.
 ''It was my opinion when talked to MT. Pape, and 1t still is, that the best politics would be to give the nomination to someone of Irish descent. But, just the same, I have done nothing and won't do anything to hurt Bill Pape. If the delegates choose him tomorrow. I'll be ready to go all the way down the line for him. The same goes for any other candidates who are nominated"
 In Waterbury, the reporter point ed out, there has been a definite feeling that the organization lead- ership would not welcome MT. Pape as 8 member of the ticket.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-09-11

I do only what the Republican partN's elected representatives tell me to do. If they want Bin Pape, then I'm for him. If they want someone else, I'm for tl1e someone else, That's my job, and that's what I'm going to do. i,t
 Did he know that many Water bury Republicans claimed he Ess making himself too much dictatcr in party affairs?
 T hear that from allsover," Chair man Bradley smiled. My job is to be a political leader, yet the oEly case in which I've tried to asGsrt my leadership is in the fourth cols- gressional district, where I've come out for Mrs. Luce against Miss Kel- lens and the other candidates. I did that, because :, I. believed that she'd be the strongest possible can 2. didate we could run in Fairfield county. If that one ease Is an in. stance of dictatorship, Ias,lppoSe, I'll have to plead guilty; but. reEnern- Der, no one has to do what Ken Bradley recommends"
 The lower part of the ticket, par- ticularly that of the nomination for state treasurer, depends on the out come of the Pape candidacy. Mir. Bradley said. 4A
 ;' s'If Bin Pape iS nominated for lieutenant-goyernor, that's one thing, he said. If it's Bill HGdden, that's a different story and we'll have to work on the ticket ac-s cordinkly," stls.s s'-

Duty Of Congressnen
 To Think Nationwise
New Deal No Longer Peoples Government, But Tight Bureaucracy Says Clare Boothe Luce KeynOter
BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK Democrat Political Reporter)

BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK.
 Democrat Political Reporter)
 Hotel Bond, Hartford, Sept. 12- "Connecticut'S problems are the same as those of the United States as whole; it,is the duty of a mem- Der of Congress to think of the na- tion's welfare, not simply that of his district. That's my answer to any objections to my candidacy that Tin too New York minded and that I don't , understand Connecticut,s problems"
 The charming blonde, whose grace of movement and quietness of speech behed her reputation as a mistress of Stinging satire and as the No. 1 expert of polite invective, sat back against the cushions of the hotel room sofa and waited for more Ques- tions from the reporter. It was hard to believe that she, Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce, has only recently re- turned from the fighting fronts of the Far East and that just a few hours before she had won a rousing ovation in delivering the keynote speech at the Republican state con- vention.
 Bureaucracy
 ''The New Deal 4s no longer peo- ple'S government. It has lost touch with the man in the street. It doesn't truly represent the Demo- cratic party; instead it's a tight bureaucracy in which there are too many muddlers. One of the reasons want to go to Washington is to bring government back to the peo- ple.'
 Many people in industrial cities like Waterbury have the feeling that Mrs. Luce is seeking the congress sional nomination in Fairfield coun- ty just for the pleasure of dabbling in politics. the reporter said. What did Mrs. Luce think of that?
 Hardly waiting for the question to be finished, Mrs. Luce broke out:
 '.Me a dabbler? I don't dabble in anything. What I want is for our country to win the war as quickly as possible. That's why I'm candidate AOt lklC ARAAh4(GaAOAA@A AAOAAAAAAeA@Aa' This is no sideline with me. I'm going to stay fighting for the nom- ination; if nominated.

Ryan lashed out at the present system of administering the Old Age Assist ance law, he called for $60 for all citizens reaching 60 years of age, a livable annual wage for all work CTS, and for the Congress of the United States to have tile sole right to coin and regulate the value of money and foreign exchange.
 "Our people are agreed that my proposal to tax the income of all persons with more than $5.0O0 an- nual income, out of which will be paid e monthly annuity to all cit- zens reaching their 60th birthday or more. of sixty dollars every month for the rest of their lives"

Alderman Kingston Not Candidate for Senatorial s Honors in 10th.


 Alderman George L. Kingston told The Democrat today that be Is not a candidate for the Republican nomination for state senator in the 18th district. He had been men- toned prominently as a likely choice to oppose Attorney John F, Tobin, who will be the Democratic nDln- inee.
 ] T am not now and will not be Q candidate for the nomipatiun and could not accept 1t if rendered to me, said MT. Kingston. T wish to thank the friends who have urged me to run, but my other duties make it impossible for me to run for any off1ce.'
 MT. Kingston, a veteran Republi- can leader, is a sales executive at the American Brass Go. His work takes him to many parts of New England during each week and this is believed to be one of the reasons for his refusal to run.

 We'll Balanced Ticket
 'I've met MT. Pape and think he's a charming gentleman. How ever, believe we should have a well balanced ticket"
 The reporter did not press the question further.
 The youthful-looking, globe-trot- ting correspondent, attired in a simple black dress, adorned only by gold pin below the left shoulder toyed with her odd framed glasses, and puffed on a cigarette.
 Do think that many people will resent my candidacy? No, I don't think so. I'll try to change the minds of those who do by explaining my views on national and international affairs.
 Some women against me? Therell always be jealousy. of course. but think most women will support me on the merits of my campaign argu- ments. There won't be any need for sex differences in this campaign. Women. in this world at war. know that"
