Time Syuare: Gchuits’'s Nowsstands, Eatrance Orsad Cestral, ¢3ud Btrest A ———————— THE BASEBALL CLASSIC Whether one is a golf fan, a polo enthusiast, & gridiron follower or a ‘ghocker player, the first week in October finds all of us on our toes to note the frenzied efforts of two ‘teams—major league pennant win- 'mers—to win enough games to divide the best share of the World Series money. It is a big prize to battle over. But in addition, there is the sports- manship of the thing. The real glory §s to be known and admired as the champion baseball team of the world, & nine able to lick anything in creation. ‘ The Cardinals, world champions two years ago, again have the oppor- tunity to show their supremacy over o 00 Babe Ruth & Co. The latter, so we would be of considerable benefit. The able read, despite injuries to several im- portant players, do not concede a thing to their rivals from the Mis- sissippi; the latter, of course, relying wpon as fine a flock of star pitchers as any team could own—headed by old grizzled and weather-beaten Alexander—have as much confidence a8 a political party before an elec- tion. Until this series, which Thursday, is over politics will be at | & distinct disadvantage. Even a whispering campaign can scarcely be heard amid the roar of the bleach- ers. What Hoover and Smith say, do or think about an issue this wee will not be half as important in the eyes of millions of citizens com- pared with the home runs that Ruth may make, or the strike-outs that may be registered by the cunning Cardinal pitchers. Perhaps it is just as well. We need something like that for the best part of a week to make us forget some of the hard things that have been sald s0 fa THE TOWN ELECTIONS starts | mere than an even break. An sttor- ney, sealous though he may be sbout the destinies of the nation and the needs of the commenwealth, must of necessity realise that mere than gilded genoralitios are nooemssry to sit at the table where the legves 3nd fishes are divided. Most lawyers are perennial office seekers, or politi- cians, or say, statesmen. In Con- necticut a vast array of lawyers be- long to the Republican pa! doubt- {less because of “destiny of the na- |tion" reasons, but more likely be- |cause of the prevailing political at- | mosphere. Casale, personally friendly to Judge Francis A. Pallotti, must have discussed the political situation with the judge on occasion. The judge |may or may not have given him {good advice. Casale, ruminating on |the dolorous situation, has gone where the grass is greener and there is more shade during hot weather. A FRAT INITIATION The fatal fraternity initiation at {the University of Texas does not {mean that the brothers overdid the punishment. Horseplay can be over- {done, of course, and the results | cccasionally are sad to contemplate. | But there is a strong likelihood that |the victim dled from fright rather |than from the electricity that was shot through two sets of bed springs I between which he was supposed to lerawl. Such initiations do not take into laccount physical fitness. It is pos- |sible to die from fright, and it is not unusual for a person with a {weak heart to succumb when sub- !jected to extraordinary excitement. Fraternities should take the unfit into consideration by |candidates to a thorough-going physical examination. Some fraterni- Ities have done away with horseplay altogether, substituting more digni- fied initiatory exercises. A ggneral exceptance of the theory that all neophytes are not physically alike and that care needs to be exercised to avoid a |modern idea of utilizing electricity | during such exercises is particularly obnoxious. The boys say the elec- tricity wasn't turned on enough to |injure anyone; but this is Impossible !to prove, the injury depending as ‘much upon the physical fitness of the candidate as upon the voltage jselt. | STATISTICS Our conviction that statistics are like rubber, pliable in the hands of anybody able to bend them to his purposes, must be quite well known by this time. That is why we didn't turn handprings when Mr. Hoover 'quoted a bushel of them some time | i |ago. ; What causes us to mention the subject again is a press item re- ferring to statistics quoted by Ogden L. Mills in Boston. It scems the gentleman declared that Governor Smith's regimes in New York state ‘had increased the debt $70,000,000 I‘sim‘e 1919. | The New York World, disgusted with political statistics, reached |into the “morgue” and discovered subjecting ' NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1888 “The great issue in this campalsn is Tammany Hall. It is against the background of Tammany's ever growing power that every other iasue in the pampalgn projects itself. . . . The next gevernor of New York will reorganize the state government.

But what happened in Naw York state after the alleged Tammany candidate won in 1926?

As for the “letting of almost half ‘n billion of public contracts,” why Candidate 8mith has been so proud of how it was done and how every |cent had been expended that he read |the entire record in Oklahoma City ;and over the radio told the “Re- publican National Comniittee listen- iing in" to “check it up.” The Tammany issue is a red her- | ring. WSPAPER PROGRESS | This is not much, but it is some- thing. In the good old days when {automobile accidents first-began to sorrowful termination get space in the public prints the | and conscientious reporter tried to tell mweh more about them i than his successor attempts today. The oldster of 1904 went so far as to fix the blame right in his account of the unusual automobile driven at the giddy speed of eight miles an hour happened to bump into a horse and bvggy, *| breaking the shafts and ripping the | harness, the reporter spoke right out | and put the blame upon the driver of the swift newfangled chariot.

As | incumbencies the state debt had in- |untold difficulty for the city editor, usual, the Republicans see much to cheer them up. The small towns are | fertile Republican pastures and though the Democrats can carry a few of them occasionally when the body politic crashes upon the sharp edges of some local issue, the gener- al run of these towns remains Re- publican. How much they gain ana how much they lose depends more upon the number of people taking the trouble to vote than upon the so-called ground swells that might be deducted from the totals. JUMPING THE TRACES More people are jumping the po- litical traces this year than ever before. Both parties have long lists of folks who formerly were part of the enemy but now are safely in the arms of truth and righteousness. This turn-coating is one of the things which add zest to the campaign. We read their names and give all of them credit for having the courage of their convictions, regardless of whether they are entitled to all this credit. Thus we attain a posure to view the t tion of 8 Gerard C; derly and without warning hopped from the Democratic rescrvation to the Republican pasture.

It may not be as important as spelling proper names correctly on | more numerous occasions, but it is something, “morality” is involved in this cam- | paign. | Which reminded us that this could best be proven by interviewing ex- Grand Dragoon Stcphenson, enjoy- ing a life sentence in the state’s prison.

Mr. Robinson proposes to deliv- er four addresses in the state, and is expected to center chiefly on re- ligion and farm rellef which along with prohibition constituted a part of the many subjects fired upon by him on Kansas soll at Wichita last night, Answers Hecklee The democratic vice presidential nominee was winding up Lis Wichi- ta speech when somebody In the audience shouted out: “What about prohibition?” and this started him off all over again. “All right, I'll telt you,” he fired Mack. “Neither the republican nor the democratic platforms declare in favor of prohibition, Now, get that and go your way." _ Says Smith s Clear He then said that Governor Smith had made clear his position for modification of the Volstead act and an amendment to the eighteenth amendment, but declared that “jf you know where Mr Herbert Hoov- er stands you know more than he seems to know himselt.” Mr. Robinson again assailed those opposing Governor Smith because of his membership in the Catholic church, argued that the constitution sald a religious test should never be required for office, and from that turned upon those who, he said were “whispering” that the Smiths were of tos humble birth to occuppy the White House. Praises Mrs. Smith “A lot of women with short skirts and long necks have been whisper- ing about that,” he went on, “but Mrs. Smith is a lady who never has devoted her attention primarily to social activities. 8he has establish- ed her record as a mother of five clean children, To us who consider ourselves the plain people and who never belleved that the high-collar- ed crowd should run the govern- ment, she stands pre-eminent.” The senator opened up on Wil- liam Allen White and appealed to the people of Kansas “to right the great wrong which one of your own eminent citizens had done to a fel- low man” Only a short time ago, however, he sald White paid Gover- nor 8mith a “glowing tribute” in an article in Collier's’ Weekly under date of August 15, 1928, Quotes White At that time, the senator contin- ued, White spoke of Smith as & “wise brave man, whose sincerity has never been questioned; whose New Discovery Stops Fits Brookiyn, N.
