Although he Once was a compar-
atively rich man. his friends said
today that he had suffered heavy
losses in recent .yearrs.-.He.was a
lawyer by profession but for some
time has been heavily interested in
real estate.
Senator Brandegee was chairman
of the Senate Judiciary Committee
and one of the Republican leaders
on the foreign relations committee.
A close personal and political friend
of Senatqr Lodge. the Republican
floor leader. he has been one of the
circle of senators which have had
most to say in the conduct of senate
affairs since the Republicans regain-
ed a majority, in Congress.
A native of New London where he
maintained his home until his death.
Senator Brandegeo had risen to
"prominence through a succession of
minor offices including the United
States Attorneyshlp of his home
district. the speakership of the Con-
necticut House of Representattves
and membership in the national
House of Representatives. He was so
years old and had been in the Senate
for almost 20 years. He never mara
ried.
The most conspicuous part played
by Mr. Brandegee in recent years
was in the League of Nations fight.
Taking a position from the start with
the irreconsilable opponents of the
Versailles treaty. he threw the pow-
erful weight of his forensic ability
against the treaty and the League
covenant during the long senate de-
bate. and later at the Chicago Re-
publican convention in 1920 was
one of those irreconcilables who laid
down before leaders a virtual threat
to leave the ranks of Republicanism
unless the national platform con-
tained a provision which would up-
hold the Republican. senators op-
posed to ratification.

rad F. Wegner. ox-selectman. made
a plea. against the expenditure add-
ing that the jump from a yearly ex-
penditure of 350 to 815,000 was too
radical. He was supported from the
floor after much applause by a ques-
tion as to how the police force could
be housed in the already crowded
Town Hall.
It was then that Judge Mark Nor-
man startled the meeting by describ-
ing the Town Hall as "an old rattle
trap building.”
"I think that. together with al-
most “every other citizen. I am
