3 TQSACRIFICING PRINCIPLE T0
POLITICAL AMBITION.
" it is truly amusing to hear the
ridgeporl Post rant on blithely, tell-
)lug us over here how the Norwnik on
position to Sherlii’ Sidney E. Hawley
has all smoothed out. beautifully.
Right at the outset the Bridgeport
paper announces definitely and with
finality. "Sidney i“. Hawley is going to
have no opposition down Norwulk way
next lull towaid his ro- nomination as
high sherilt oi‘ F‘nirficld county."
. The young man who wrotc the no

The article then goes on:
"in fact so general has been tho
