HUNOR FINDS WAY INTOGOVERNMENT. Office Holders and Eltllsiasts| ! Sometimes Unconscioasly Funny The strain of governmental duty is often relieved by humorous in- cidents which abound in almost cvery branch but seldom come to general public attention, yet those who have close application to pub- lic life very often have broad stores of anecdotes which are most enter- taining. Some time ago, in mayoral eam- paign one of the candidates opened with a series of accusations involv- ing alleged practices of his oppo- nents. Prompt denfal of the charges came from the opposite camp and on the following night the candi- late again arose and before a large audience repeated his declarations. To emphasize his point and to in- crease interest in the campaign, he shouted: “I have the evidence in hlack and white to back up my charges!” He then reached into his coat pocket and drew forth a sheaf of papers which he waved aloft. The audience cheered as it grasped the significance. of his action since it was an apparent willingness to prove a monetary interest by out- side influences desiring control of New Britain’s municipal govern- ment. As he was about to return the paper to his pocket one flutter- ed to the ground and a curious by- stander picked it up. It was a bill ot lading made out to the speaker for a shipment of goods awaiting him at the freight depot. Frank Admission A political partisan was drawn into a discussion of two candidates for office in the presence of a group of curbstone politicians one night not very long ago. As the man warmed up to his subject he rap- idly gained in enthusiasm and lost in diction. Finally he reached the climax and to drive home his ar- gument that his selection was the more zealous of the two toward his publis duty, he declared in loud tones: ‘I tell you, gentlemen, my candidate is after the office for all He can get out of jt!” A strong Paonessa booster in the last election was conducting an impromptu political rally in a Main street atore a few days before elec- tion and was using as one of his arguments in behalf of the demo- cratic candidate the fact that his efforts had counted in the elimina- tion of the grade railroad crossing at Clayton. Fearful lest his auditors might not fully grasp the import- ance of this project, he launched into a detailed story of the crossing, saying: “You remember how, for years and years that crossing stood there as a constant danger. Every now and then we read of people being killed outright or maimed. It brought suffering and great losses as long as it existed. I remember very distinctly one case in particu- lar: A poor couple accepted an invi- tatlon to go for an automobile ride with a more fortunate friend. They went and as they were crossing those tracks a train came along and they were killed outright. They were tenants of mine and, do you know, it was three months before I got that tenement rented again. Gentlemen, Clayton crossing was a very bag thing Carrying Two Spare Cylinders There is one story of the early days of motorized city equipment that has been told and re-told, but rarely fails to bring a laugh, par- ticularly in these days of more gen- oral information of automobiles. Under discussion was a plan to pur- chase a piece of apparatus and the hone of contention was whether a four-cylinder car or a six-cylinder machine should be had. One mem- her had been listening attentively for several minutes without taking a part in the discussion, but finally he arose and was recognized by the chair. His contribution to the fund of knowledge on the respective merits of four and six-cylinder cars was: “Gentlemen, of course it’s all right to have a four-cylinder car when you can be sure of travel on straight high\\'uys, but its mighty handy when you're having a tough pull on a hill to be in a position 1o throw in those two extra cylin- that come with a six-cylinder In the heat of common council argument members sometimes go & bit astray in their grammar. One member who had a leading part in council deliberations was angered somewhat by the insistence of & commission that its practices were correct in spite of his expressed ob- jectlons. When the board’s repre- sentatives had answered olaims made by the councilman, he arose and addressed the chair to make the most unintelligible rejoinder: “T don't still change my views now.” When he resumed his seat the council seemed about evenly divid- ad on whether he had agreed or disagreed with the board. Pity to Wake Him Several years ago the common council had under advisement the yaising of funds by which to replace an old frame building at the town tarm by one that would assure the unfortunate inmates of a fireproof building in which they might spend the autumn years of their lives. Set al financing policies were un- der discussion as was also the main question of whether or not the huilding was an absolute necessity at that time. One member was at peace with the world safely in the arms of Morpheus for a greater part of the evening and was aware cnly of a few high spots in the dis- cussion, but he did catch mention of town farm. At once he arose and instead of bonds, buildings and taxes, his objective was disclosed in the following remark: “I have a friend who is not work- ing at present and I'd like to have him get a job as cook at the town farm.” Political ‘organizations sometimes find themselves unconsciously over- looking fundamentals, to their em- harrassment. One club some time ago took a very active part in a campaign only to have it discovered that its secretary was an allen and not ontitled to vote. A political ¢lub now in existence is headed by NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY &, 1527. - GREED ACTUATES CHINESE, THEY SAY Not glory but greed, is behind the Chinese movement to expel forexgners, these ne-) They landed recently. at San Francisco after commg safely| turmng missionaries say. ithrough the Shanghai attack. A man who is not a voter. Some years ago a candidate for council- man learned that he was not a vot- er although he thought he was. Several years ago a mayoralty can- didate conducted a vitriolic drive against his opponents and on the | day following his defeat called on the successful candidate to ask for employment as a laborer in the street department. Coolidge’s “Double” Has Chance in the Movies Philadelphia, May 6 (#—A career in the movies for a Philadelphia waiter rested today with President Coalidge. The walter {s Charles Holz, 40, whose likenessto the president won for him an offer from a New York Motion Picture Company to “dou- ble” for the chief executive in a film now being made. Holz said if Mr. Coolldge did not object ot having himself character- ized in a New TEngland setting in | several requences of the picture he probably would accept the offer. The scenes are to be taken In and around Rutland and Plymouth, Vt.

Popalarski told Sergeant Stadler he was driving through the street one shouted to him and when he brought his car to a stop, he was horrifled to find the child under it. Putting him into his car he started for the hospital and when in front of a house at 213 Farmington ave- nue, Edward Niedzwicki, aged 5, ran’into the street and although Popalarski pulled sharply to the left | ‘and overturned his car, he was un- ablo to avoid striking the boy a | glancing blow.
