Veteran politicians said today the death of J. Henry Roraback, Republi- can national committeeman from Con- necticut, marked the end of “the last real party boss” with State-wide con- trol. They held also that Roraback's death removed one of the few remain- ing members of the Republican “Old Guard,” which until six or seven years ago virtually controlled the party. Few political bosses, experts said, ever held such comple‘e control over . & State-wide political machine as did Roraback. He was not only national . committeeman, but chairman of the : State Central Committee and party - treasurer. A powerful figure in the power in- dustry, as president of the Connecti- cut Light & Power Co., Roarback was - one of the chief targets for Senator : Borah last year when the Idaho Sen- ator was campaigning to liberalize the party. In national politics, Roraback fre- quently worked closely with Charles ! Hilles, party leader in New York. Together they figured in the back- stage negotiations at many national conventions. Veteran political observers com- . pared Roraback's power in Connecti- cut politics with that of Tom ‘Tag- * gart in Indiana years ago. In the Republican party, Roraback’s . peak of power was in the days when Senators Watson, Moses, Smoot and . Reed were running the party in the Senate. They are still alive, but are ” mo longer in Senate seats. ¢ ECONOMIST TO SPEAK Labor Editor Also to Address Cap- ital City Forum. “Fascism vs. Industrial Democracy” will be discussed by David J.

And they'll tell you how lucky we all are to be able to get 2 good dry, beery beer like Gunther’s, because the nation’s taste for beer was nearly ruined by those horrible concoctions of prohibition. Maybe you tried a hand at making home brew yourself. Remember adding sugar or raisins to the mixture? That's where the sweet, heavy taste came from. And that’s what makes the old bartend- ers shudder. Even the “needle” beers were made the same way. And the people who grew up during prohibition learned to like beer that way. But when repeal came, a few of the old-time breweries began again to make a real beer drinker’s beer. In Milwaukee, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, in fact everywhere that good beer used to be made, a dry, beery beer was put on the market. And gradually, wherever it appeared, it became a leader. In this part of the country, Guather’s came back with repeal, dry and tangy, as it had always been. Today it outsells sweeter beers by a country mile, Light in body because it’s dry, it’s the type that doesn’t fill you up. You can drink more of it without spoiling your appetite for food. Order a case now, and find out for yourself how good a dry beery beer can be. Gunther Brewing Company, Baltimore, Md. / GUNTHERS .2 BEER
