Judd, alderman from the third ward, for the position of chair- man of the republican town committee | last night is another indication of the | stern fight the party in New Britain plans to make, not only to elect its mayoralty candidate, but to become more of a power in the state republi- can machine, Following upon the heels of the earnest efforts of the local or- ganization to persuade a man to run | for the mayoralty who would unite all | factions, it discloses a determination | to place New Britain among the com- | munities which may be “relied upon” | when a national election is approach- | ing. | Although Mr. Judd has been active | in politics but a comparatively short | time he has grasped the position in‘ which he was placed with the attitude | of one fully aware of what was to be | expected of a leader, His strong posi- | tion in the common council is unques- tioned; his attitude is that of one who | knows exactly what he intends to do, and goes through with it without being moved a particle from the plan- | ned course of action. Many have dis- | approved of the position he has taken | on various matters, notably when he insisted that it was the intention to | allow the female clerks in city hall no | more than $1,100, regardless of other | considerations, Those who see 50| often the hand of the republican ma- | chine in local handling of affairs, and | who believe that New Britain is a far bhappicr city when the machine's hold upon it is not strong, may disapprove of many future actions of Mr. Judd. | But there is no question as to lis| qualities of leadership and of his per- | sonal integrity, What he says is listen- | ed to carcfully by members of his| own and the opposing party. Thlu{ strength in the common council will ald him In maintaining, poulhlyj strengthening, the local organization. THE GREAT FLIGHT { From Santa Monica yesterday there | started the United States army avia- | tors on their 30,000 mile trip around the world. There are four planes ln; the flight and scattered at the many | stopping places will be extra engines | and other necessaries, the arrange- ments for which have taken a long time to make. Such ambitious plans as this are apt to be looked upon with some disfavor by those of the unimaginative type who see no practical results that may come—that are expected to come from this attempt to do what other nations bave failed to accomplish, They will get little satisfaction out of the fact, if the flight is successful, that the United States was the first government to accomplish this feat But there is more than a record by the United States to be establihed in this undertaking. The back of it is to show the of commercial aviation.

But what would result if the progressive republicans, giving added strength to the demo- crats because of Lal'ollette’s candida- more troublesome to the majori and influ- democratic minority to a/ Cer- ey, become republican v, also been affected by its desire to have the support of the progressive republicans. Senator Underwoed, and other con- | servative democrats, do not like the prospect of the growing influence of the progressive bloc. It is not beyond | the realms of possibility that there would be formed, within the democra- | tic party, a conservative bloc to meet the republican progressive blod, The peculiar situation would result that a strengthening of the influence of Senator Lalollette would be sought by his running for the presideney. Tt is extremely doubtful if he could ex-| pect to gain the nomination; still more | doubtful that he believes he could win | the election unless he feels that the| 50 harmed the oil scandal which h present republican administration will bring a landslide which would clect any democrat that might get the| nomination.

The news- | papers are publishing editorials re- minding him that the people are very mueh concerned over the way he is going into danger; that he is not u prvate person but a national asset; | that although he is fully entitled to those little neighbors x),?)tlrn recreation it is time he imposed straint upon his “pluck spirits.” This is the way the conservative ! papers treat the prince, ~The laborite | newspapers however, insinlate that he | spends his days in riding and his| nights in dancing, and says that it is| time he took life more seriotisly and | time he took life more worth while. But the worst slam | of all, and ‘the one which will un- doubtedly cut deeply into the prince’s royal skin, is the suggestion | that he's a rotten horseman and that he falls off horses becau#® he doesn't know how to ride.

In 1923 our sales were about eight times as great as the average stock of goods carried.
