Were Democrats or Republicans to name candidates for public office in the manner in which the new party has done so of recent days, 1t would be the occasion of big headlines in the local press. One of the things that ma jor po- htical parties seem to adhere to, whether they are in power or seeking power is adherence to party and election laws and regu- lations. If some such adherence were demanded of the many minor parties that spring up from year to year there's no doubt but what they'd get much further in their ambitions to elect candi- dates. It's the very thing they fight against that they refuse to abide by. They maintain the par ties in power are not represent ative, aren't interested in the pub hc welfare, refuse to recognize niinorities. Yet when a slate of candidates Is to be picked the formalities of primaries, caucuses, conventions, etc., can be elimin- ated and candidates selected by a committee. Maybe this Is the best way after all; 1t certainly elimin- ates lot of work.

Politics
 -L1-- Passing

The next week or ten days should determine the course of politics in the 18th Senatorial District. It's al- most certain that Democratic Town Chairman Maurice F. Tangney will shortly issue the official call for To- cal primaries and that they will be out of the way by the August 27 deadline set by State Chairman John A. McGuire this past week. While a good many towns and cities will hold their caucuses or primaries on the 27th, it's very likely that the local set-to, which doesn't promise any action except in the 18th Sen- atorial District, will come before then with a possibility of conven- tions, too. being out of the way be- fore the end of August and the La bor Day weekend. Wallace sup porters held satisfying meeting this past week. It was satisfying from the angle that apparently the administration forces are solidly be- hind the candidacy of Senator Pat rick J. Wallace, which is an asset that can't be regarded lightly by anyone seeking nomination.

Waterbury's third party. the Tax payers Good Government group, ap- parently intends to draw from the major parties if any members are inclined to lend their support. But If it's leaders are counting on the McLeyy state ticket aiding their cause they'll have to conflne their efforts to Socialist candidates. Statements of Coroner Miles F. Me- Mil, however, would indicate that he has no intention of forsaking the Republican Party, even If he is the candidate of the new third party for judge of probate All of which indi- cates that the new ticket will prob ably be composed of candidates, not allied with the Socialist Party (which supports Mayor McLevy in his state campaigns), but opposed to the present Democratic admins tration.

There has been a lot of discus sion of recent weeks about the Wallace Tobin primary bout of 1914. It wasn't held in the late summer or fall, as many have been claiming, but actually took place on April 19. This was due to the fact that all nominations had to be out of the way early, so that serYicenen scattered all over the globe could be furnished with lists of sli candidates tor public office with their absentee ballots. Wal lace didn't lose district in the fourth Ward, although he took District Al by only one vote, 92 to 91. In the Fifth Ward he lost 5-1 and 5-2, which will proba bly, be strongholds of former Alder man Martin J. Sullivan this year, too. In the Fourth Ward Wallace boiled 723 votes to Tobin's AIS and In the Fifth, 926 to Tobin's 855. The winning majority was 319 votes.

 We can't emphasize too often the importance of plenty of storage space in the bathroom. A linen closet is especially essential and should be figured into your plans if at all possible.

Hot Air Register Location Note

There is tendency in most laous- es for cold air to slide" down the stairways, and 1t Is usually best to place a warm-air register near the foot of the stairs, with deflectors in
 it to turn current of warm air up the stairs to mix with this descend
 ing flow of cold air. If the warm air flow is turned so as to inten-
 sify the natural circulation, you may get a drafty hall. It is we'll to remember that cold air, like water, tends to flow. to and collect in the lowest points.
