The battle of the headlines in a ‘political campaign is the only thing in it that doesn't cost the parties anything. When a campaign speaker calls a candidate “ignorant” or “lacking in an inteliigence” it is time to quit listening. In England the tariff issue is call- ed “safeguarding;” which certainly 1s no word tending to safeguard the happiness of headline writers. Regardless of the election result, the General Motors has announced it expects the greatest year in its history in 1929. That will help New Epgland where much material go- | ing into automobiles is manufactur- ed. We had, until a moment or two ago, & communicated from an anonymous writer who called himself “Mac.” The wastebasket has it no’ Btrange that people will take pains in composing & letter to the news- paper and then fail to sign their names, ignoring the fundamental rule that communications must be signed by individuals known in the city. VISITING THE BATTLEGROUNDS One can guess from where the main candidates choose to do thelr talking as to what sections of the ocountry are doubtful. Following Herbert Hoover across the continent we find that he made one speech at Cumberland, Md., ‘where it is hoped enough Republi- cans will crop up in Western Mar: land to wipe out the Smith ma- fority expected in Baitimore. He ap- pears in Louisville, again calling to mind the Kentucky battleground and the southern outlook. Then he makes a big speech in Louis— lctly honest analysia of | Newsstands, Entrance | wouldn't be finished | unless all signs fail the election will be much more peaceful than a simi- tar event in, say, Chicago. General McCoy, representing the United States, has announced that his troops are well dispersed; that his helpers are even better dispers- ed; that if any voters show a dispo- sition to start something, well, the military will be able to finish what is started. 1t will be a-fair election, General McCoy states. Even the Nicaraguans admit there is no chance for fraud. As important &s anything else is the news that all citizens entitled to vote |can do so without fear of running linto a shooting affray at the polls. | These will be heavily guarded, and | when the times arrives to count the I ballots there will be no allowance | made for monkey business. Sensible ragua rather like the | prospect. They had so-called {clections in the past and what has people in Ni have happened has not always redounded to the prosperity of numerous indl- | viduals. General McCoy's ideas about a fair | election leave nothing overlooked.

Take Waterbury as an example. It now is the fourth city in Connecti- cut. Perhaps it cannot maintain this standing in the next decade or so, |in which case New Britain, with its continued growth and expansion, | will become the fourth city. While Waterbury nearly stands still New Britain will forge ahead rapidly. We ! wish the bgst of luck to the Nauga- tuck metropolis, but if it is a little | | nervous about anything let it not fear for the remainder of New Eng- land. New Britain will take up the slack and help the totals of indus- t commerce and prosperity where aterbury feels less able to do so. | BROADCASTING TRIALS | At first blush the spectacle of hav. | ing a murder trial broadeasted docs not | belie ppeal to dignified citizens who ve the courts should be immune | sensationalism.

At the | 1k That Way! | Election Will Be Won by the Best Machine After weeks of a campaign which | has had no parallel, New Britain voters will go to the polls next Tuesday to register thelr preference for national and state tickets. At this writing the outcome 18 obscured | by the multiplicity of opinions heard in a short walk along Main street. Both parties have waged an ex- hausting drive for votes. Men's tongues have moved unceasingly in hall and street trying to project the political view of the owners into the minds of their auditors, there tp rest. It has been like “old time” campaigns, we have been acsured, but we doubt that because, if child- hood memories are not distorted by impressions, the “old time” event was marked, by more hurrah stuff. here was the red fire torch light parade, marching clubs, bands, ete., for example. The republican women will add that touch tonight but it will he a lone flare in a campairn that has been waged almost ex- clusively with the voice and print- od word. Betwcen the newspapers and the radio, there is no excuse for any voter not understanding the is- sues. Political prejudices will offset issues to some extent but no man or woman of ordinary intelligence should cast a ballot without fully understanding its effect. A noticeable atmosphere of con- fidence pervades democratic circles so0 far as this city 18 concerned. This is a striking situation. In former presidential campaigns democrats locally have heen satisfied to make a gesture of interest, all the while | realizing that their republican | rethren would be found in the lead when the votes were counted. Never in the history of the community Fdve the democrats appeared 0 clated at their chance of victory. They have not hesitated to search for holes fn the republican armor | ana to poke boldly at the holes re- | zardiess of the station of the man inside the armer. They claim that they have won over to their cause | the support of many residents of [ foreizn hirth extraction. They | | may be justified in that claim if the conduct of factory workers may be accepted as a straw showing the di- rection of the wind. Prior to this year factory employes had listened wWith attention fo orators sent to the shop gates by the republican party. This year Smith sentiment has been strong at these rallies When an attempt is made to fore- cast an election, it is necessary to take into consideration the strength of the machinery used in getting out the vote. Until Mayor Paonessa ran for office the republican ma- chine was always far superior to the democratic, Kince then the dem- | ocratic organization has shown re- | markable growth. But it has not been thoroughly tested in a national campaizn in which the party has n!‘ chance to win. On the other hand, | the republican machine has hehind | it large funds and directors whose resources in other respects are un- |Nimited. While the republican speak- |ing campaign has not been up to [ the expectations of party leaders and there seems to have heen a strong democratic {rend since Gov. | Smith visited this city, those leaders believe they ean keep New Britain in the republican column. They know that hard work election | day, not three cheers the day before | clection, is effective, on College Women Prefer College Men for Husbands How much education does a col o woman in the man she marties?

As the collector gum-shoed along Main street Friday morning he was stopped by one of the group who Inquired for his health and asked whom he was seeking. The col- lector gave the name of the man who owed a client a bill. The practical joker looked sharply up the street and sald: “Here's the man you're looking for.” The un- suspecting collector grabbed his “victim”, explained his business and announced that he wanted a pay- ment. The “victim” having re- ceived a wink as a signal from the Perpetrator of the joke, adopted the role of the man who owed the money. He tipped his hat to the collector to impress him with his importance, pleaded that he was a poor man, explained that he had an expensive car which was in his wife's name and asked for more time to pay. The collector was obdurate. By this time other members of the group had gathered and, informed of what was trans- piring, egged on the collector, de- nounced people who refused to pay their just debts and declared they should be put in jail. The “victim" said he would try to get some money and return in a few minutes, asking the collector to Wail. For all the group knows, he is still waiting. He did net know ]|_is “victim” was Charity Commis. sioner Sam Greenberg, Color, That Mysterious Agent Which Sets Supermen Apart ., 'Color,” according to Webster, ia A property or quality of visible phenomena, distinct from form and from light and shade, depending up- on the cffect of light or different wave lengths on the retina,” but in its frequent application to individ- uals of prominence in the political and sporting worlds, its meaning is well nigh beyond explanation, al- though readily understood by the majority of the reading publfe. ck Dempsey, déposed heavy- weight champion. had “color" and may be able to display that he still has it. should he return to the ring 4s it is reported he may do. Babe Ruth, baseball's most prominent ex- ponent, probably has it in as large a portion as has ever been possessed by any athlete. His running mate in the realm of swat, Lou Gehrig, will never have enough of it to place him in the big fello: class, according to baseball writers, yet Gehrig has proved his abllity to mass a much higher batting aver- e than Ruth's, and for a time dur- ing the 1927 season threatened to depse the king. Benny Leonard, &reat boxer and ring general, was colorful. Casey Stengel, hero of a World's Serles and the following eason a minor leaguer, had color to spare, and. coming closer to home, Manager Bill McCorry of the Albany club of the Eastern league could not be kept off any complete list of colorful athletes. In the field of politics, Theodore Roosevelt the rough rider, the ex. plorer and the president, had the faculty for attracting people to him in greater measure than any other public figure of the age. That was what gave him the “color” the pub- lic likes and which will probably never be adequately known by any ofther term. Woodrow Wilson, Cal- {vin Coolidge, Warren G.

Among New Britain figures who are known to almdkt everyone with. in the limits of the city. George A. yor A. M. Paonessa, have been outstanding among the colorful characters in the mayor's affice in the past decade. Quigley fhe campaigner, the representative of “the peepul”, the champion of [ the masses, never in his palmy days spoke fo empty chairs when he was running for mayor. He could always be counted upon 1o “say something” and the people flocked to hear him v it. whether it was something they had already heard or a brand ‘new idea or charge or promise. Mayor Paonessa. on the stump, on . postprandial program. in a pa- rade, appeals to the public.

Behind this simple statement may be found the reason for the re- cent contest at the republican caucus when two candidates sought the nomination for representativ Ajthough the fight on the surfase was between Representative Han- bury, who sought a renomination, and D. K. Perry, the epposition can- didate, it was actually a test of strength betwen Justice Barrows and Justice Welles. 1t is well known that representatives, because of their po- sition of authority, are usually sue. cesstul in recommending the judges to be appointed. This is a time honored custom of both major politi. cal parties. To the victor belong the 8poils. The party in power distributes the patronage. Anticipating & republican victory on election day—that is a victory ter the state slate—the Newington fae- tions were anxious to dictate the ap- pointment of a judge it the court is elevated from its present grade. The Hanbury faction is said to favor the appointment of Justice Barrows fo the judgeship. The Perry fac. tion stood for the promotion of Justice Welles. But the Perry backers were late, It did not become generally known that Perry's name would be entered as a candidate for representative until the day before the caucus. Friends of Representative Hanbury must have expected to face opposition because the Hanbury machine rolled’ along smoothly at the caucus and defeated Perry's supporters. The latter had the backing of sonfe of Newington's best known residents but the ballots told the story. Regardless of Who Wins, Reporters Are the Losers Just how is this election coming out, anyway? That, no doubt, iy & question which you are asking yourselves and each other—and asking it with reason, for !h.n ore only about three men in ‘thia “eity who are absolutely certain of the outcome and the chances are 50-80 that they are wrong. We spoke last week of the bewildering conditions surrounding the campaign. Since then we have been comparing the statements and claims of the rival factions and we have learned a great deal of . information , which We present to our readers fto straighten out this muddle. Here 8 the correct dope, right frém. the party leaders and workers: It the democrats are victorioue the factories will all operate full time and their employes will be thrown out of work. This will be due to the flood of foreign goods which will pour inte this country when the democrats keep them out. Furthermore, Al 8mith will uphold the present provisions of the con- stitution by seeking the repeal of the 18 amendment and will bring beer back to the people in such quantities that the oountry will re- main dry. On the other hand, the republi- cans are a group of upright crooks who have ruled the country with graft and honesty. Under their ad- ministration we have advanced to the unparalleled point of prosperity where unemployment and poverty are rampant. As for the candidates, Hoover is 100 per cent Amer. ican whose affections are 1l for England, a man who is 30 im- bued. with foreign sentiment that he Is the greatest patriot the United States has ever known. While Al Smith is simply a corrupt Tamman- ite with an immaculate career of statesmanship behind him. Now, what are the chances of the two men? Well, Hoover and Smith are going to carry New York, Con- necticut, Massachusetts, - Rhode Island, North Carolina, and sevéral other states. The G. O. P, will take Illinois by & swéeping mnjority which will be wipsd out by the democratic party. Thoussads ' of voters are going to change frem the republican side to the demecratic by voting for Hoover, an? in the South there will be many demoerst- ic traitors who will baleét tor Smith. Hoover's majority will be 40,000 in New Jersey, whers he will run 35000 behind Smith. And so on, s0 that in the end, when afl is summed up, we find’that out-of 48 states Hoover will carry 88; 8mith 37. Let us insert o few personal ‘res marks—not “personal,” though, im the way the various speakers have been during the past week. ‘These are the innermost cries from the heart of the journalistic professfon. During the last month * reporters have been saerificing noon menals to cover factory rallies and forego- .Ing evening repasts to hear the speakers at the night gatherings of the parties. It is beginning to tell on their digestive organs. It is #aid that Hoover, if elected, will ensure a full dinner pail, and that 8mith, in the event of his success, will make certain a full beer pail. But the reporters cry is simply this: Get the election over with in & hurry and let us have a full stomach.
