Sincerely, LOB PATTERSON | | That Shrinking Violet, Hartford, | Wants Another Congressman | When the new congressional dis- | { trict for Connecticut is get off. there will be plenty of wrinkles for J.| Henry Roraback to iron out, for| Hartford js already casting political | eyes for the position. If “Dame | Rumor" can be taken seriously, May- | | or Batterson of the pital City | wouldn't exactly do the fade-away | lact if the republicans should choose | [to choose him. It iz the contention | | of many New Dritainites that the of-} | fice of congressman should be occu- | | pied by a man from the Hardware City. The republican machine has been rather unfair when it comes to nom- inating a congressman from the| Hardware Center of the World. The | democrats have had two from New Britain—the late George Landers, | who was in Washington over 30/ vears ago, and the late Robert J.| Vance, who was clected from the | old first district more than 40 years| ago. It is the claim of New Bri.(.un" politicians that E. Hart Fenn is a| Hartford man although he comes | from Wethersfield, one of the bed-| rooms of Hartford. It would be a| sorry grab of honors if the Capital| City should knock off both of them, | although it would supply fodder for a red hot -democratic campaign | which would have weight with that| vast army of political thinkers which | both parties try ever g0 hard to| reach. | Tt would do well to reflect on the| situation a little bit, for New Britain | had a rather close election the last| time and a presidential year at that.| It was no casy task to keep New | | Britain in the republican ranks at| the time, and the local workers| should be rewarded by the nomina- tion, that's if thfngs are going to run smoothly around here. Edward 1. Hall, a representative at the time from New Britain to Hartford, was offered the nomina- tion for congress years ago but he refused, saying that he couldn’t leave his position at Landers. Dur-| ing the war, when things were look- od at through democratic glasses, making the argument to back up President Wilson was unbeatable, the republican organization nominat- | ed George A. Quigley, New Britain's | war-time mayor. The nomination for | congress, at that time proved an emply honor, and turned out per schedule which by no means was a reflection on Quigley. The congressman from the new | district has an excellent chance of | Dbeing 2 republican if that “two in one” idea entertained by the politi- cians up the Capital City way isn't| put into practice.

Bounding Baker Wrecked With Tray of Pink Cakes Monday's storm brought snow, wet feet. colds. and other ills to many residents of the city, but it seemed to single out one baker's delivery man as the particular object of its wrath. Others in the city had mis- fortunes which were worse in them- selves. vet this unforunate cscapade 5 doubly sad in {l troubles were comic to everyone but himself. The man was holding aloft a huge platter of baker's delicacies—some sort of bun or cake with gooey pink frosting on them. And. as he cross cd the sidewalk between his wagon and the store which was his destina- | tion—Well, maybe you can finish the slapstick scene which followed | without our help, but. anyway, he stepped on a slippery spot, and feet, | tray, and pink-frosted cakes all shot | skyward in one multi-colored gey- ser and then descended to earth again in a spray which covered the | sidewalk for yards around. For one instant the baker sat there amid the ruing, dazed by the sud-| den turn of fate and his own body But as his senses returned his anger | mounted. and he gave way to a very | human impulse. He rose to his feet, saying unprintable fhings and look- | ing thinks which were unthinkable. | And. picking up the nearcst bit of | fallen pastry, he raised it over his head and vented his wrath against| it, its brothers and sisters. and the | unkind world in gener it back upon the sidewalk with all the maddened force which he could coramand. After which dramatic climax there | was a sudden let-down as the boys | of the neighborhood swooped down upon the unexpected manna and stole every cake from under the glowing cyes of the furious but im- | potent baker.

Bill Casey is a born and bred railroader and he knows his busi- ness from the roadbed up. He lives for railrouding and does not allow his meals or his slecp to interfere with his chief interest in life. To e prevented b yillness from attend- ing the banquet probably hurt him than his ailment and his fricnds in this city felt cqually re gretful that he could not attend. When Superintendent 0'Hanley of the Waterbury division, Casey's im- mediate superior, spread the news that Bill was in bed, many ex- pressed their sorrow.
