This meeting will be the opening gun of the democratic drive in this city, and will mark the first appear- ance here in this campaign of Lon- crgan and Morris. Paonessa May Preside Mayor Paonessa is expected to be the presiding officer. Winchell Smith of Farmington, author of “:$havings” and of other well known Looks and plays, has accepted an in- | vitation to come here. Mr. Smith | was invited after a delegation of New Britainites heard him talk at Il.ake Compounce last week, when he | told a gathering of several hundred | party workers why he favors Al | Smith for president.

Orchestral and vocal entertainment will be furnished at various points along Main street, and on other streets near the center of the city. The *political Follies,” a minstrel show presented in conjunction with the rallies of last spring, is to be reorganized this week and will prob- Wbly make its first appearance next week. It is expected that many of the entertainers of last spring will again be heard, and the show will be augmented by many new voices and | faces. At the opening performance last spring, the police turned away more than 500 persons who were unable to gatn admission to the “Tabs" hall after 3,000 had been allowed to enter. Democratic Ticket Attorney Thomas F. McDonough, | seeking election as senator, Paui | Nurczyk and Fred Hollfelder, candi- dates for the house of representa- tive, will comprise the legislative ticket of the democratic party here, the absence of contest assuring them of the nominations. Theirs are the only petitions of candidacy placed in the hands of the chairman of the town commit- tee, John E. R, Keevers, when the time limit cxpired last night. The primary on Ogtober 2, will be held at the party's headquarters and will | be a mere formality. | Mr. McDonough is a native of this | city and has been practicing law here for several years. He has been | connected with the speakers' bureau | of the state central committee and | has been the featured speaker at | rallies held through the state during | the past month, but he will be re- | lieved from further work along this | line to handle his own campaign.
