THE SATURDAY <&uteMxez
By JAMES M. MOORE

The possibility of patronage squabbles among the Democrats and Republicans of the state legislature, with Governor Baldwin in the mid dle, may become an albatross about the neck of a general assembly now already swimming against the heavy tide of legislation Officially, but four weeks remain before the close of the current session and until now, the committees are tread ing until they can reach bottom.
 The patronage difficulties which are appearing piecemeal at this time, if prolonged, much longer will present an obstacle to proper pas sage of legislation during the clos ing days, when lack of time will demand the cramming of bills through the mill At present the Democratic members of the senate are delaying on major legislation until the governor reveals his plans on the dispensing of patronage, while Republican house members controlling that body are said to be securing all lines in preparation for the possible tornado of oppo- sition from the Democrats should the latter not obtain a fair share of that which they seek.
 Mahaney-Tangney
 The fact that Rep. Dan Mahaney will fight for the county commis- sionership in opposition to the local admlnLstration'S choice of Demo- cratic town chairman Maurice F. Tangney has put the latter right in the middle of an unpleasant sit- uation he asked no part of. Tang ney did not seek the post, sources declare, but was sought by a few on the top of the party. He is said to have cited the fact, at the time, that Mahaney had been openly seek ing the post and went on record then ot not wanting to oppose his efforts.
 Unfortunate Circumstance
 It is the first time that the town chalrman has ever been offered one or the plums and never has he sought special favorS during all his years of earnest effort for the party and the party's sake, alone. That the first opportunity offered should result in an unpleasant situation is unfortunate, and one, we are cer- tain, constituting matter of sim cere regret to him.
 Mahaney'S insistence that he be given the post is not without merit in consideration of the fact that he openly sought the s3,5OO county seat. His activities were well known both among Legislative circles and city political gro IDS. Until Tangney'S name was injected into the picture weel ago no of- ficlal or unofficial opposition was shown by anyone to Mahaney's en- deavorS.
 The situation will be one of per sonal displeaSure to many top lead CTS who view it as the result of too much concentration of, and se- crecy about party plans = nong just few. This same displeasure was felt when it became known that the city court list of patronage was forwarded to Hartford recently without many top members of the party knowing what it was com nriSpQ of
