Good | Republicans Must Seck New Leader for Parly Whatever the effect may be of the { retirement o William H. | chairman of the republican town committee in the fall, it will at least mark the cnding of another period or cycle in the history of the New Britain branch of the G. O. P, Every time there has been a change of this nature the succeeding regime has Qiffered markedly from that of the preceding administration, even though the principles aimed at in & political way, have been the same. The retirement of the chairman of the republican town committes in New Britain is an important event, in the opinion of the political lead- 'rs, at least, and the conclusion of the Judd regime will be no exception. The republicans of New have had some stalwart leaders in the past decade, men to whom poli- tics was somcthing more than a zame fo be played for fun, The nd was a prominent republi were Joseph Towers an, as Former Mayor Orson Curtis was for rs an active mem- Lep of the hoard of stratezy and Frnest N.

Rtichard Covert, present state central committeeman, never takes his finger off the politi- cal pulse of the city and it almost equally as close to politics about the state. Many others, not the least prominent of whom was Herbert ¥ Erwin, the present postimaster, serv- ©od as chairman of the town commit- | tee, while the late George W. Klett | was probably the most prominent, all angles considered, of any republican in this eity in a number of years. Wiczand, Towers, Hartman and Curtis were of the old school of poli- ties iey knew the game from A 1o Z and loved to play it. To them there days other than election days, and while other politicians were resting between fights, they be- lieved in keeping at their specialty day in and day out, with the result that there was very little political ac- tivity in the city with which wery Jegan. Curtis, who served one term us mavor, is still a student of poli- tics and public affairs, although con- siderably ess active than he was ten or 15 years ago. When Lirnest N, Humphrey was at (he head of the town committee, he was also active in the city govern- ment, in fact for a number of years hie was probably the husicst man in publie life in the eity, He had a [ remurkable faculty for organizing wien and while his methods differcd | greatly from these of is predec [ sors, hie saw his party yuore often than not, One of the high lights in his political career was his Lattle for the mayoralty | nomination Curt in the republican 1910, Curtis was vietorious, but the fight was sd bitter that the party was <phit wide open and Joseph M. Hal- loran, democrat, was elected over Curtis. Lix-Mayor George A, Quigley, who was a Curtis licutenant in the hal- cyon days of the luttar, only to be- come his former chief's most bitter antagonist in later years, w time the leading fignre in New ain's publie life. He had an orzan- ization of his own and no local can- date hefore or since has had a better one, according to students of the political game. The Quigley- Curtis fights for supremacy —cover numerous pages in the political his- tory of New Britain, In the period prior to the eleetion of Herbert K. Erwin as chairman of [ 1he town committer, it had been cusfomary to sclect a prominent arty worker, but the present post- 1sed, wi caucus of cye until he took the position, Like- wise, Alderman Judd was practical- ly unknown politically when he suc- ceeded Mr. Erwin, In all probabil ity, the custom of sclecting as chair- man someone othcr than a town committce member will be followed when the time comes for clioosing a successor to Mr, Judd. " | G. 0. 1. Plays Strong Card Ho Win in New Britain Developments in the politic field during the past w have given indication that the republican party is primed for one of the bit- | terest political fights in years. This fact was impressed upon the people |of New Britain more forcibly with | the announcement that Ernest W. !Christ, long recognized as one of | the party’s “best bets” is out for !the state scnatorial nomination on the republican ticket. The fact that the G. 0. P. lead- ers brought Mr. Christ trom his place of retirement to strengihen the party’s chances as far as New Britain is concorned gives further proof that the party will do its ut- most to win. Here are some have led the party leaders to enter the race for the threc places in the te senate with the strongest pos- sible ticket. Connccticut is one of the fthree New England states which are considered doubtful by | political experts. The two others are Massachusctts and Rhode Island, Ordinarily the small towns in the state are in the republican party ranks and it is the belief that they will be still there when the ballots are counted.

They came in afl forms manner and sizes, some on wrapping paper, some on perfumed tablets bound in morocco leather and tied neatly with ribbon. Writ- ing ranges all the way from illegihle pencil seribbling te neat typing ems bracing all the languages of the world. Of all the manuscripts received, one-third are from -foreign coun- tries, written in their native lan- guage. Of this portion, the Oriental countries submit 16 per cent, India five per cent, English speaking countries 25 per cent, France ten per cent, Italy six per cent, South American countries 15 per cent, Rus- | sia seven per cent, Germany 10 per cent, and the balance of countries six per cent. The reason for the low percent- age of manuscripts coming from Germany, France and England is traced to the fact that these coun- tries have enough studios of their own for the budding author to deal direct with. In spite of the warning and prop- aganda sent out by the American producers that they are not in the market for a contributed story, the many fake scenario schools through- out the country offsets this by miss leading and alluring advertisements to the effect that there are fortunes to be made in writing for the screen. Added to this is the desire that comes into most everyone's life at one time or another to express ideas ni a manner that will receive uni- versal recognition Some give up after the first re- jcction while others kcep on trying foreign | at the urge of false reports and ad.. vertisements that find' their way in the press to the effect that predus cers looking for new ideas. It is true they are looking for new ideas but they must come from the trained writers who have made motion picturcs a study and know the screen’s requirements. Every studio employs its own writing staft consisting of people who have made writing for the screen their sole profession. Stories purchased outside ef the studios are mostly from published works and rights to successful stage plays which in turn must be changed by the trained screen writer to conform with the re- quirements of telling the story in action, ACGUSED DENYING PLOTS IN MEXICO Brands as False Charge Against he Arrested Nun Mexico City, Aug that Mother 25 (P—Charges Supericr Coneepcion Accbeda, de 1a Llata participated in a plot to kill President Calles are denied by Marip Elena Manzano, one the alleged plotters.

The cost of handling these stories is a drop in the bucket comparcd to the cost of fighting plagarism suits brought about by writers who claim to have submitted stories that later show up on the screen as a version of their ideas. A few decisions handed down in favor of the sharpshooting authors have compelled the producers to take drastic and fool-proof measures in the handling of submitted ma- terial. They have adopted the plan of recording each story as it is re- ccived and returning it under regis- tered mail, unopened.
