being blasted-Lem grits his
teeth, and digs into his pocket
for more War Bond money.

to let down just a little instead
o. realizing that the bigger our
offensive gets the more our boys
are going to need equipment
and munitions.

THREE MENTIONED
FOR NOMINATION
Barkley's "Break" With
President OvershadOWS
State ManeuverS

Local Democratic leaders this
morning viewed with mixed and
varied observations the action yes
terday of Majority Leader Alben
Barley in denouncing the action Of
President Roosevelt for the latter'S
bitter condemnation of Congress
which has been couched in words
implying that congressional mem
herds were responsible for confusing
the tax issue.
Local party members seemed in
the majority to favor the floor lead
er's actions and many expressed the
attitude that the only surprising
element was that the action had
been forthcoming from Barley who
up until now had been one Of the
presidents stauncheSt supporters
and the leader Of almost his every
fight. Local party members stated
that there had been frequent grum-
bling warnings in the past that such
a definite split within the presiden-
tial supporters might soon be forth
coming. The general feeling among
all, both those in favor and those
not too certain, was that all in all
it was the most explosive" occur
renee within the administration in
a long time.
Just what effest the apparent
party split will have on plans now
being set up for the five separate
Jackson Day dinners to be held by
Connecticut Democrats in April was
not generally known today. The
dinners are to be held simultane-
ously in each of the five Congress
sional districts within the state.
Usually one large dinner is held on
this day for all the state members
but this year because of transport
tation difficulties it has been de-
cided to split up the affair. The
dinners are for the purpose of rails
ing funds for the coming campaign
and are usually a keynote of what
is to be expected in the spring con-
ventions.
AS result of the far reaching eff
fects of the definite opposition to
the president of party leaders in
Washington. which 1t is pointed out
Is great deal more significant than
merely applying to a debate" on
the tax issue, more confusion as to
possible party candidates for state
offices for the coming elections has
now arisen.
Among those being mentioned as
gubernatorial candidates are former
Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone,
now in Washington; former Lieu
tenant Governor Odell Shepard;
former State Finance Commissioner
Lewis w. Phelps of Andover, and
former State Chairman j. Francis
Smith of Waterbury. Although none
of these has entered the race active
ly as yet, it is believed that the
Hartford section would back DR..
Shepard and that United States
Senator Francis T. Maloney would
back Mr.. Smith. Mr.. Phelps has al
ready received an endorsement from
Tolland County Democrats.
Former Secretary of the State,
Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, is
also being mentioned in some quar-
tiers as a possibility for the senator
ial nomination.
Former Congressman William J.
Citron, now on active duty with the
Army, is being mentioned as a con-
gressional candidate possibility
along with several others including
Representative T. Emmett Clarie Of
KillinCly.
