Congressman O'Sullivan and his Democratic aids, however, did what is being done in New Britain—they made speeches at factory gates, and without a permit from the august authorities to discuss the issues of the campaign. What was their surprise to find that the police department stepped in and called a halt to the proceed- ings. The chief of police said he would enforce the ordinance against all comers, including the congress- man and the Democrats. The congressman, not inclined to start an argument with the chief, called in his forces from violating the gag ordinance, is with him to such an extent that the board of aldermen is expected to repeal the law. The Democratic congressgan has done the city of Waterbury a serv- ice in stressing the foollshness of such an ordinance particularly when stretched to prevent the dise cussion, of political questions before the gates of factories, 25 Years Ago Today From Peper of That Date which making an and sentiment Mr. and Mrs. John F.

On the City As the political whirl narrows own and mpproachea its vortex on November 4, leaders of the major parties locally are just as puzaled aver, although if questioned they ex- press confidence In victory. With the exception of & few sporadic rallies, cratic parties has made a great deal of effort that shows on the surface. There has been a noticeable lack of the hurrah stuff that used to lend colors to campalgns. The parade of the smiling candldates through the streets and the troops of young boys | escorting them have beon missing this year. Manufacturers of red fire will never get rich on the amount of their products burned in this vi- ¢inity this year. New Britain seems to have been avoided by the princlpals thus far. Important subordinates attached to the headquarters staft have dropped | in occasionally and have explained why it 18 nccessary to elect their candidates if the country s to con- tinue to exist. Nearly all the work of exhorting the voters has been done by local candidates for state office. Import- ed speakers have been brought here but their mrguments have been dis- counted bécause the people realize that they are being paid for thelir talking and' that their Interest ceases there, It has also been noticeable that rallies throughout the state have not been as well attended as in past campaigns. A rally was held in Foot Guard hall, Hartford, with Lieutenant Governor, Bingham, the big gun of the state ticket, as the main attraction. The attendance was about 600. At a democratic rally held in the same hall later, the at- tendance was not any larger. In the rural districts the audiences have been larger in proportion to the population of the towns. The answer is either that people have become tired of listening to cam- paign arguments or they are attract- ed by other events fram which they derive greater pleasure, TLa Follette's strength in New Britain continues to be the topic of the hour. If people talk the way they vote, the senator from Wiscon-’ sin will reveive surprising support. It is said that organized = labor is with him to a man, In addition there are hundreds of workingmen who regard him as the Moses of the | day who will help to right their wrongs, real or jmuginary. Many also subscribe to his platform in the belief that the senior parties nzed to be shaken up and shown that it is possible for tlie people to risg up and register a protest .gainst their domination of politics, local, state and national. FElection day is the day on which the party of protest becomes articulate and it 15 well | that this s so or the older parties wight assume that they reign by di- vine right. Editor Philip Troup of New Hav- en dwelt on this point in an aldrese at Southington Thursdav night. He said that the republican party of Lincoln was a party of protest against the smugness of the politi- clans in power at that time. He said | the republican party was foun/ \ on high ideals, but aedded that “there is as much difference betwean the republican party of Lincoln's day and that of today as there is hetween & chestnut horse and @} horse chestnut” He declared that the time had arrived (9 administer a chastisement to the smug politi- cians who had been holding ofiige at | ‘Washington under the hanner which | was raised to such high purpose ! when the party was formed. La Tollette gathers some of his support from the element which be- ! leves that a protest against both parties must be made. It has been claimed that La Follette will poll 1,500 votes in this eity. If this pre- diction develops into falts, 1t will: cut deep into the republican plural- ity which is usually rolled up for a presidential election, as it is claimed that a great many who intend to| vote for La Follette are accustomed to supporting the G. O. P, ety Memories of our ancestors who believed in goblins, banshecs, ghouls and other evil spirits are called up by the modern celebration of Hal- lowe'en, In the early days of the Christian church, the first of November was set aside as All Saints' Day, because it was impossible to observe & sep- arate day for each saint. The night before All Saints’ Day was known as “Holy evening” — then as Hallowe'en, It was a fear- ful night, during which the evil spirits were believed to burst from their honds and haunt the wotld having a last fling prior to the sacred day. There was, however, m brighter sid¢ to Hallowe'en. T marked the \‘r\i~ of harvest and the beginning of new terms of farm tenancy and lafjdlordship. ‘;\omwlnx hif contracts with his tefants or making arrangements with new ones, it was the Hallow- e’en custom of landlords to bring forth the flowing bowl, baskets ®f red apples and sacks of nuts for & great celebration, The religious aspect of Hallow- e'en has changed and in its pluce we now have a general casting to. and Its People target for vegetables and then hu- man nature asserts itgelf and we oxpress wonder that thd police don't &lve us protection. It all depends on whether you're out with the orowd - doing the throwing or hether you're sitting in the house eading the “Lives of the Saints.” Football is a great sport—for the umpire. The players sweat and toil up and down {he fleld, lugging about on their person enough pads to make a medieval knight's armor seem like a gas balloon. They roll in the dust and mud untll they re- semble clay modelings. Thew smash into a solld living wall or form part of that wall and are smashed into, The referee dives into a mass of waving arms and flylng feet, whilo every few minutes some disatisfied player takes pot luck at cracking him behind the ear. The spectators half - hang,- half stand in a melee worse than that on the playing field, amid cheap perfumery and expen- sive whiskey crogeneously, . But the umpiré! He crouches at one side of the fleld and 18 so left to himself that he can pass unnoticed it ha so0 chooses, or if he wishes alténtion he can sprint daintily across the field, tooting his little horn and holding up the entire game, If it 1y cold, he has plenty of space fn which to move around; if it is ot, he can lie down and play dead. Umpiring a football game 1s a good job for both lazy and active, both notoriety seek- ers and modest violets; it can be made what one wants it to be; it is this world's nearest approach to heaven, but—No umpire ever made the winning touchdown, This is the way the great play happened: The None Such eleven was playing the Thank University for the champlonship for the middle cast and they were leading in the last quarter, 3 to 0. In the last five minutes of the play the Thank U. team drove to the five yard line but fumbled, and N. 8. recovered ther ball. After three futile attempts at line-bucking, the half-back droped as though to punt. The quarter called the signals, the ball was passed, and the ends shot down the fleld, © But then we saw it was a trick, for the halfback did not kick; instead he took the ball in his huge paw and heaved it as far as he could. Left end shot across, scoop- ed up the pigskin as it was to hit the ground, and darted like a will- o'-the-wisp around, between, and under players until he had crossed the goal with the winning score, As the team left the field, we heard the coach rémark, “That was a beautiful fake, you even fooled me, I thought it was supposed to be & kick.” And the quarterback an. swered uncertalnly, “It was.” There’s something the matter! Dictiongries haven't been selling as well as usual, or something.. Then some blamed {diot invented the , cross word puzzle and the demand for the works of Noah Webster was greater than the request for copies of the late lamented “Yes, We Have No Bananas.” | To see a big, muscular, robust | man looking anxious and finally in- | quire for a nine letter word meaning the posterlor end of a mollusk fs | enough to make George Washington, ! Abe Lincoin and al} those hoys sorry ! they ever fought for freedom. The craze is sweeping the coun- try—clean of the good, old stable | words. Before long people will talk | 80 highfalutin’ thére won't be any living with 'em. They're ever talk- ing in squares. There was a time when cross word | puzzles were only for kids and the fellow who ever tried to solve one was {mmediately sent somewhere ; where he could try to solve the puz. | zle of getting out, Cross word puzzles are wrecking big business. It's a wonder some candidate didn't incorporate in his platform, since he had plenty of wood, a clause to the effect that he woyld banish all cross word puzales, But, we can see the reason for fall- ure to do so, after careful study. No one 'would vote for him. The whole country is busy at it. On street cars, in offices, homes and banks, everywhere those blank squares with numbers in them are founds. Between the radio bug and the angry retort fiend the country is di- vided, The sensible people, all three of them, might better jump in the ocean. Even then, some diver would come to the top and ask for a one | letter word meaning the fall under- | wear of a seagoing teakettle, ! A man who misses one word or one of those puzzles has liis whole day spolled. All his associates might ! just as well give up the ghost right then and there, He wanders around smells mingle het- i all day trying to think of those Lwo or those first two or those dle two or what ever # might letters and doean't Hear @nything or doesn't, oranybody, « L (We b ftellow who tp ‘&l night one night rn bocatise be couldn't think of the Arst lotter meaning a conjunction an contalning three letters and the lapt two were n and d. He was cragy and he made his wife crazy all night. He walked from one room to the other, now and then getting tired ff the monotony and walking from the other to one room. He thought a lot,of words they don't pul in orole word puzaibe.: A Then there are other questions that no one but a college professor or a book worm could —answer. Like, ““The mother of Achilles.” Most people didn’t know that Achilles had a mother and vice versa. Then, another, “The silent president.”” Why n't they he definite, They're all * ent but two, Then there are some more fobl questions the authors of puzzles st up nights to think- of so others might sit up nights trying to figure out what they mean. Like, “An alcoholie liquor.”” Th unfair. How do people know the answer fo that They haven't known the meaning of that since 1919, ‘Well, those puzzies help pase many an otherwise peaceful hour and also wreck many homes.

The party's attitude is glven in the following statement iesued by Edward M. Yeo mans, chairman of the democratic state committee today: “The criticism of Governge Tem pleton by the republican machine for calling a special election 18 of no interest to the democratic party, but the democrats have - been ac cused of {nsistthg that Governor Templeton call a specfal election. This is not true. ~ The democrats made no request whatever of Gov- ernor Templeton and when the gov. ernor inquired of the officers of the state central committee what they wished done, he was informed that he could do anything that seemed iproper to him and the democratic 'party would. adjust itselt to his ac- tion. “It was suggested that if the gov- ernor called the elechon for Novem- bér ‘4th and, thereby “saved a ‘great deal of trouble and expense to the peopla of Fonnecticut, the demo- cratie party would find scme way to adjust its regular procédure and make a nomination in time for that election. This is what the governor undoubtedly should have done. “The only objection ‘to calling an clection for November 4th was that {the rules of the republican party re. quired a longer time. Tven a re. nublican governor is not bound in his official action by the cules of the republican party and if Governor Templeton had been looking to the welfare of the people of Connecti- cut he would have called the elec- tion for November 4th, “The democratic party would not have complained if the governor had seen fit to call no election, but had waited for the legislature to provide™ for an appointment of a senator by the governor after January ist. The democrats have the utmost confi- dence in the ability of Charles G. Morris to pick a suitable man for the position and the special electiom was not called at eur request.” Polish Rally Sund Afternoon at Lyceum Senator John H.
