Public Toleration of Crooks In Governing Body —Sends Cynical Shaft Into “Pure In Politics”. The following "reply" to an article written for the Sentinel by Mrs. Weed was printed Tuesday in a Bridgeport paper: "Helena Hill Wecd. writing in :1 Norwalk paper asks the readers to write to our nature to "drum out of political life any man who dares to come to the halls of Congress through the power of corruption. regardless of the political party to vhlch he belongs." This cxhorinilon oliows a somewhat detailed dis- cussion of the case of Vuro of Penn- sylvanla. against whom Mrs. Wood has apparently closed her mind. She also mentions “other senators-elect. whose political problty is challeng- ed." "That 'iliosc of us who believe in honest and just government' should Join in a demand to throw those men out is Mrs. Wecd‘s conclusion. and by simple logic. those who do not believe that they should be thrown out must no uphoiders of dishonest and naive! government. "However it is not as easy as all that. To write a letter to one's ser- aior. demanding that he do some dirty political housecleanlng. may fill one with a ,virtuous glow. but If is merely the method of one who dodges the real task. To seek for honesty and Justice in government is not enough. one must have intel- llgence as well To demand the in- stant expulsion of Yarn. Smith. and possibly Gould of Maine strikes the high moral note but neglects sev- eral important factors. “First, these men have not been found guilty of anything as yet, but me entitled to their hearing. Sec- ond. to allow the Senate to exclude them. for anything save actual cor- ruption gt the polls is setting a pre- cedent more dangerous than the al- lcgcd wrong itself. Third. there never’ 'was a cast? of fill kind before the Senate that was ecided any other way than on a party vote. which automatically excludes the theorem that the Senate's decision in such cases is either wise. Jus or intelligent It is merely a r or of partisan or factional strengt‘ “The people of Pennsylvania knew all about Vare. yet apparently they elected him. If he is the men they want. it is none of the Senate's busi- ness and to argue otherwise is sheer nonsense. There is some talk about the Pennsylvania elections having fraudulent. and that is wholly "dif- ferent. It is the duty of the Sen-.1 ate to sift that. and if Vare was not elected. to unseat him. ‘ “In the case of Smith of Illinois. the matter begins and ends with the expenditure of money in the pri marles. It is for llilncls to say what isle proper; amount to expend in tures being slightly magnified. den! these i .depositediilthis WM ‘ primaries in that state. In any case, bank before at .. I it is for Illinois to say who shall rep- rcsent her in the primaries. she has chosen Smith. and on the latter's election there is not the shadow of a cloud. "Those who would reject Smith and Vare are not necessarily the pure in .politics. so much as the cosy-going in politics. it is much easier to got the Democrats in the Senate to take advantage of this strictly partisan oportunlty than to mvnken thc pooplo of Illinois or the people of l'vnnsyivunia to the duty of choosing better mcu. "Vc hope that if the senators from Connecticut are called upon to vote in these matters they will vote consistently. and unfailingly to up- hold the right of this stale to make and enforce its own primary laws. and the right of every other state to do likewise. Then it is up to the pure in politics to see that good laws are enacted and good men elected. and not to try to ease their own consciences and pass up their own burdens by having the Senate do it for them after election day."

' Editorial Views Of State [Papers VOTERS WBO DIDN'T VOTE (Hartford Courant) The official returns of the recent State election show DIUWMOI for the Republican general ticket rang- ing from 87.093 for Comptroller F. M. Salmon to 83.648 for United States Senator Hiram Bingham. The live Republican congressmen Were re-electediby the following plurali- tics; Merritt. Fourth District. 24.854; Tilson, Third District 19.7“; Fenn. First District, 19.277; Freeman. Sce- ond District. 13.271; Glynn. Fifth District, 8.335. The official iigurcs tell a story al- ready fairly well known. the story of the failure of the elector to vote. While it was not to be expected that the vote of the State would approach that cast in the presidential election of 1934. it fell off nearly 100.000 from the total of two years ago and the 1926 vote was close to 25.000 less than that of 1922. the corres- ponding "off year." In the 1912‘ presidential‘ election the names checked showed that 403,“: voted. but nearly 2,000 bal- lots were thrown out as defective. in 1923 the number of voters cast~ ing ballots was 829,201. in the 1926 election 304.079 Iron-d .and‘ 1.439 votes were thrown out. The regis- tration was about 6.900 less than in 1924. ‘ It is not pleasant to contemplate the disappearance of the vote and about the only crumb of comfort in the figures will be found by the Re- publlcans who will believe that there was such general satisfaction with the administrations of Presi- ; dent Coolidge and Governor Trum- . bull and such a firm conviction that lthe State would notreverse itself that many voters saw no presslnx reasons to go to the polls. It is not a‘ satisfactory . situation when the Mrs stay dt’ home on election ‘day. but there is the comforting thought to the party in power that they would come out if they wanted a change. Tilt: [AW AND THE LOTTERIES (Bridgeport Tdegram) The widespread mecca of the va- rious private lotteries which State's Attorney William H. Comley is in- vestigating‘makes it easy to under- stand how whole states erg! indeed whole nations found it easy to a. series themselves with public lot- teries in the days when such things were permissible. Some defenders.of these lottery systems have argued that there is no real reason why the state should interfere with them. provided that they are honestly conducted. "If people want to spend their money in that manner. why shouldn't they?" asks the apologist for the lottery. who generally can give instances of individuals who get their state in business. paid off the mortgage on the old farm or purchased a much desired motor car fpor'n a lucky hit.
