NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, HOME ATMOSPHERE | Holcomb says a soldier’s job shouldn't be kept open for him INCE we entered the war Marcus H. Holcomb, who is running for re-election as Governor,exercised his power as Chief Executive of Connecticut to veto a bill which would have re-instated State officers or em- ployes in their jobs after they come back from the fight. “Such re-instatement,” says Governor Holcomb in lock- ing the door on our soldiers and sailors, “would require the discharge of some person employed to fill the vacated position and be an injustice to such employe.” Is there any man or woman in Connecticut now filling the place of a soldier or sailor who would not gladly relinquish that place to its rightful holder if he gets through alive and comes back safely? Would any citizen of Connecticut take advantage of the absence of a man who is fighting for his freedom to wrest that man’s livelihood from him? We don’t believe it! Thomas J. Spellacy pledges that if he is elected Gover- nor he will use every honorable means to put on the statute books the bill which would now be a law if Hol- comb had not vetoed it. The employes of the Post Office Department now in ser- vice will find their jobs waiting for them. The manufac- turers now proudly displaying their service flags aren’t going to haul them down and turn a cold shoulder to the boys when they come back. Don’t you share Thomas J. Spellacy’s belief that there should be no discrimination against the returning offi- cers and employes of the State? Vote for him and the rest of the Democratic ticket if your patriotic gratitude means more than a brass-band welcome! DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES For Governor THOMAS J.

The majority of them were of elahorate rustic con- struction and usually had sheil proof shelters connected with them. Fur- pondence of with some added Iux the French inhabitants of neighbor- ing villages formed the principal in- terior equipment. | One of the most unique of these officers’ arters was located in the little village of Ruvezin, about 20 miles from Metz. The! were two tiers of rooms with broad balconies In the lower floor was an elaborate sitting room, containing richly up- ‘holstered furniture, a piano, oil paint- ings inlaid tables and beveled mirrors. This apparently was the headquarters of a high officer, for 1n it were found many maps, plans and a telephone Switchboard. Outside was a bowling alley and a small swimming pool. At one side was a wine cellar well stocked with applewine, beer and ther rerages dear to the German heart immediately adjoining was a shell proof dugout, 10 feet deep and cap- able of holding 60 men. Next to this was a shoemaker’s hut where a num- ber of women's shoes and slippers were found, indicating that the Ger- Higher up in the woods was a view of the country for mi Everything was confusion.
