Politics as she is played is remarkably well ex- emplified at the present. We do not believe that love for any of the candi- dates is going to inspire any real feel- ing on the part of any watcherin New Britain. From the way things are shaping it is evident that the majority of people are not particularly inter- ested one way or the other in who is to be mayor. No one is howling his head off over the possibility of any one of the four candidates being trimmed, therefore the man on the street can watch with amusement the bids for votes that are being put forth, most of them bringing no pub- lic reaction at all. Mayor Curtis, aspiring to be elect- ed agaln, is sitting in his bailiwick playing the game in the manner that fits him best, peddling to the voters a great deal of campaign stuff his press organs. Quite probably he will deny that this is so, but we cannot imagine why any newspaper will give away columns of space relating visionary benefits of his administration and soft pedalling the criticism that could be found unless it is inspired from some source. Of course His Honor knows nothing about it, of course not. We apologize now to save trouble for the other papers, which otherwise should be compelled to apologize for us. Cur- tis campaign tricks are well known to the majority of New Britainites. Propaganda, put out through medium that would make it appear he is not responsible but that the or-! ganization or individuals are impelled to enthusiasm by sincere appreciation of his acts while he was In office, is his game. A high and lofty body of ecitizenry which has no ulterior mo- tive ayetall, must do his campaigning for him. These organizations forget that, a year ago, a highly unpopular high tax rate was foisted upon the public and that the two platoon sys- tem in the fire department, promised to the public at a city meeting and authorized, right or wrong, Wy the same meeting are parts of the Curtis regime. They forget everything but that a lower tax rate, on a high valua- tion, was adopted this year. Can peo- ple be so forgetful? Aye, they can, providing the memory dictation comes from the proper quarters. who gains amuse- who is any Hizzoner's traditional enemy, G. A. Quigley, is also running true to form. Charging from factory to factory and from rally to rally he orates from a high moral plane of the factory mo- guls who are over-riding the em- ployes. That kind of oratory went big a few years ago, it scarcely seems to strike a spark of interest about the streets today for some reason, possi- bly because Quigley has been Mayor once before when he the same tactics in getting office. He has gathered about him a few ex-service men who are grateful for having been taken to Boston to meet some of their buddies and who wish to further his candidacy for that reason.

In following Roger Babson's sonal survey of husiness conditions throughout the country, from week to week, one cannot avoid comment- ing on his remarks the value of advertising as exemplified in the case of California.
