they reared back and accused the Governor of politics" which was their way of telling him he was in- terfering where and when he wasn't wanted. Now everyone is mad at everyone else.
 Politics Everywhere
 You can cynically observe all such manuvering as politics but underneath it all is human nature which is better, more comprehen- sive word for politics. Politics of this nature is to be found anywhere as long as some sort of partisanship exists It can be found in a church Purity Girls Supper club as well as in a Legislature and it can be found in your own office. It is hu- man nature in the raw bulgirg through the surface of our none too secure covering of conventions, social regulations for decorrm and so-called dignity. So you really can't blame the politicians too much with out looking in the mirror and re- calling if you hadn't indulged in somewhat similar acticS in trying to get ahead in this life. The only way you can really judge politician is to get in the same boat with him and ride the same waves. To your surprise you may find that you use the paddle the same way he does to make sure you get to shore Self preservation is the primary instinct the psychologists and psychla trlsts tell US and they should know for they sure indulge it as indicated by the fees most of them charge.
 Good and Bad
 It is difficult not to get facetlous when you write about politics for it's does no one any good to ln- dulge in such observations. We lose sight of the intrinsic worth of the good legislation that comes forth and the good men up there who bring it forth.
 We. personally, like politicians who openly seek what they want. We don't condone their seeking it in most cases, but we like those who make no bones about it, in preference to those who seek just as much and cloak their efforts with snug righteousness and false intent. Those are ten times the deadlier of the species. Usually you will find pretty good man beneath the politician who openly goes about playing politics for his party's sake and his own; better than you will find in the ones who prate about the common-good and act like Tiny Tim who never got out of character but did outgreW the size of their britches and go around God Blessing Everyone especially themselves.
 Final Days
 It will be a mad scramble on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week upon the Hill with legislation being fed through as though on a production belt. It doesn't seem likely that affairs will require special session, at later date. unless they become further entangled.
 Waterhury'S court situation as reported in The Democrat on many occasions is ironed out insofar as the Legislature is concerned. It remains for final pickering among top leaders of both local parties. This too has been pretty much set tied, and candidates to be consid- eration by the Democrats for the posts are Attys. Gordon Hutchin- son, Carmen Cipriano, Frank Mo- Donald, Stephen Homick and James Lawlor. Judge Gaffney is definitely slated for the judgeship it has been decided.
 The county commissionership is not going to any Waterbury candi- date it seems definite at this time. It appears likely at this point that it will be grabbed of by some Re- publican.
 Well, tht bag will be pretty much emptied as far as the legislators are concerned after Wednesday. It was dull session, on the surface, for a long time, but underneath it had all the appearance of Oppen-
