There is a sort of happy alliance between the two:——one is good for the heart. the other is good for the stomach. and it's an open question which is the more important in the human body.

The stomach does not function in a country where Pa- triotism is dead. where respect for constituted authority is supplanted by the red flag of anarchy, because food together with life' a necessities dwindle and fail: Hence. we are happy on this festive occasion to give expression to our un— dying loyalty to this great and noble (Continued on Page Five) MflTflRIST S REED ERR PIEIARINR WESIPRRT EARM New York Party Haled to Court for Picking Apples WESTPORT.

As Judge Joseph G. Hyatt was not in town. they pro- ceeded to Bangatuck. where they brought Judge Joseph Morton to hear the case. The driver of the auto was Edward J. Fern of 601 West 125th street.

SPEEIAEE ANII EITZRERALII HARTFORD, Sept. 21.——Choice of Thomas J. spellacy u the Democratic nominee for Senator. with Mayor Da- vid E. FitzGerald as the nominee for governor. was forecast at 1 p. m., as the Democratic state convention was in progress. The test of control was in a roll call on the Senatorship. As Mr. Spellacy had a wide lead. it was expected that his friends woud be able to name the entire ticket, the makeup aside from Mr. F‘itzGeraJd was anyone‘s guess. The official vote was Spellacy, 423: Lonergan, 210; Cummings. 53. Mr. Spellacy was chosen and Mr. Kelley for Mr Loner-gen made the nomina— tion unanimous The convention gave Mayor Fitz- Gerald a present in the form of a nomination for governor on his 48th birthday today Delegates did not feel disposedto get into the Armory early and when ten o'dock daylight savings time came the hour to which the convention stood adjourned. there were not two score delegates in the place. To most of the delegatm last night was a live— ly one. At 8 a. m. the hotel corridors were filled with groups of men and woman discussing party matterl and making predictions“, Most of the midnight had been argumentative gatherings because of the intensity of the rivalry between the Spellscy-Itm organ and Fitzgerald-Thoma factions. The subcommittee on resolutions sat until 5 a. m. workingvover a bundle of proposed planks and in the end drew up a five hundred word document in which a selected anal-talent of sub- jects were each covered in one line de- claratlons. The subcommittee had cle- cided to make the platform "short and snappy." The committee mem. bers expressed astonishment at some of the proposals placed before it. The most startling of those were a bunch by Thomas N. Bewes of Earmington. former member of the Houn_ in which he proposed abolition. through Constl- tutionai amendment of elective filmin- istrative officers except governor and lieutenanbgovernor. The county caucuses in which ef- form were made to agree on proposals to, put forward a candidate for a place on the ticket were in most instances inconclusive. In spite of the fact that the Spellscy-FitzGei-ald combination claimed control of the canvention. the opposition had it gnawing. Some county leaders early began canvassing to secure support for Cummings for Senator. The permanent organization and cmdentials committee met just before the convention resumed... There were no contests over delegates less than the usual number of proxies. and Mr. Cummings was the choice for perms. nent chairman. Before the gavel fell, the makeup of the State ticket from lieutenant- governor down wasanybody's guess. Mr. Speiiapy conferred with the Hartford city delegates in front of the platform.- his form towering‘ over Mayor Kinsella and Dr. McManua re- mood as his right and left bowels.
