It remained for former State Senator Frankie" Summa and Judge Charles Summa, his brother, to upset Democratic lead in party registrations last Wednesday during the monthly session for making new voters. f the 46 new voters who registered on party lists 26 chose the Republican Party, while 20 signed the Democratic. This is the first time in about two years that this has happened. As matter of fact 1t was prior to the 1914 state elec- tion that the Summa party of Wa terbury, which is good designation for the political group that these boys are able to bring together in their interests when seeking public office, functioned so smoothly that Republicans began to consider their chances for the following year mighty good. Once again Frankie" and Charlie" are proving their ability to do what is really necessary to wield together an organization for electing individuals to public office.

moi contemplate making any formal

his statements now have positive
rather than doubtful tenor.
Almost as much interest has heen
manifested in tho vacancy thus Great
cd in the treaSurcr's office as in the

pected TO deter any other prospective
candidate for governor, even though
several others have indicated they
will make no such positive commit
mcntS until near the end or after adj
journmcnt of the ;947 legislature.
The announcement docs give u green
light to Ill and sundry who might

Election Warninq
Sent To Romania
ByUnited States
Soviet Satellite
Advised To Allow
Opposition Votes

Washington, Nov. 16-tP,-Thc
United States gave Romania another
prediction prod today to guaran-
tee opposition parties square deal
in Tuesdays balloting. That was the
main point behind the formal lang
uagc OF note handed the Soviet
sponsored Romanian government by
Burton Y. Berry, United States poll
tlcal representative in Bucharest.
The new note was put out here by
the State Department. II said the
American government assumed" the
Romanian government shares its
view that 'all parties represented i'm
these elections should participate in
equal terms"
II was only an assumption, though.
The United States rad no more as
suranccs on that than when Romania
first began getting ready for the
voting months ago.
TOday'S note was the fourth in a
chain dating back to last May. If
Romania follows the pattern of the
past. she will send back a politely
wordcd answer and go right ahead
with election plans tailored to her
own desires.
