O'Byrne in the seventh New Jersey district for congress this week is- belng regarded by the republicans as a rebuke to the democratic organization in general and to President Wilson in particular. They claim that the defeat indicates the sentiment of the country on the tariff and the free tolls question, the latter point being somewhat sub- stantiated by the fact that James Gallivan in Boston was elected on a platform which had opposition to free tolls as its main plank. This conclusion, however, seems to require some corredtion, for the reason that the New Jersey district is naturally republican, while the Boston district is democratic:and Mr. Gallivan could probably have won there on any platform.

By His Excellency SIMEON £, BALDWIN, GOVERNOR, Proclamation Tnder the laws and usages of this state providing for ten legal Holldays in each vear, I appoint Friday, the tenth day of April next, as a day of religious observance and prayer and recommend that on the day thus named, the people of Connecticut, lay- ing aside, so far as may be, their usual occupations, seek, either in the quiet of their homes, or meeting in their several places of worship, closer communion of spirit with the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, in whom we Itve and move and have our being. 3 A Of course, New Jersey is the presi- dents’ state. He also wrote a per- sonal letter endorsing Mr. O’'Byrne; administration orators visited the dis- trict and urged the voters to sup- port the democratic nominee, and stylish, dependable clothes for boys, just in time for Easter.

The local campaign is now well un- der way and it would be a good plan tc have the“different matters referred to on the stump, previous to the cau- Cuses, discussed so that the pedple n.ight have the right understanding about’ them. That should form the Tain_feature of every campaign. What the taxpayers want to know is vhat is going to be done or what can b= done'that will be of benefit to the eity. A large amount of money is being expended here annually and hile everyone knows what it is ex- | pended for and must also know that there is no waste, they would like to know something about the future. We are a growing community, our needs are constantly increasing and there must be further attention given to the development of what we have and at the same time provide for the future. City business is an interesting study, ofly a small number comparatively understand it, and those who do and Who are’ selected for the important ‘offices ought to be able to give much irformation to the people. There is Tio question but that they would ap- |preciate it. This matter has been re- ipeatedly referred to and the public ihas never failed to display its interest \Such discussions have become a part \gf the municipal campaign in other «citles and large crowds of peaple have eagerly listened to what has been #aid. Hartford’s campaign, recently closed, has been a conspicuous illus- tration of the value of this form of fnstruction. NON-PARTTISANSHIP. The local democratic platform is strong for the form of gbvernment Which' the New Britaig charter pro- [Vides and with which the ocity has made so much progress. Non-par- tisanship on the different boards has worked out well except on one bpard, srhere there has been a dispute which might have been avoided, but which in no way nullifief the good work done i the other departments and'does not' €etract from the value of the system under which we are transacting public Lusiness. The officlals in this city &re realizing’' more and more every day the importance of considering New Britain first and!in this way the business is being conducted in such a manner that cannot help but pro- duce good results. * It is something new for a party in a local contest to draw up a plat- form, as is done in state and national elections, but it 15 not a bad idea for the reason that it contains an ex- bression of an opinion es to what the movement stands for and what it is proposed to do. The local platform Wwas not drewn by any committee ap. pointed by the copvention, but was Father the work of those who are in- terested in party success and desire 'to have it known what has been done :d what turther may be done. The local form of government is ot the commission form as it is op- rated in some citles, but it seems to the situation better than any other. here are some. points which might be improved and these in time will probably be given attention. MR. DAWLER BLEOTED. Mr. Lawler has been elected mayor lof Hartford and has been so declared. There might have been a contest over the returns because the actual fig- ures reported do not show a majority for him, but an examination of one machine did prove as cléarly as any- thing could prove that there were a number of people who voted for him, lbut whose vote was not counted be- cause of a defect in the machine. ‘hat the election belonged to him is clear as anything can be, and it lis a matter of profound gratification lihat Mr. Cheney looked at the matter he did and refused to accept the jon whieh might be claimed by n if he was so inclined. A great honor has come to Mr. Law- He.is & young man, intelligent, 1 osl,ue‘ud.‘ has a liking for public , and that he is popular was well n on Tuesday. A brilllant : before him and he has much good for vet he was defeated by over 5,030 votes, The progressives are also over- joyed at the democratic defea:, Rep- resentative Murdock saying in the house yesterday that the democracy was beaten. because it broke its pledge with thespeople by not living up to the provisions of its platform. This is regarded as a knock on the free tolls question. Mr. Murdock could not have derived any pleasure from the progressive vote in the New Jersey district for the reason that it footed up only 619 out of an ap- proximate total of 21,776, of which the socalist candidate obtained 5,053 votes. These figures show' that mat- ters other than the tolls question and the tariff had some some bearing on the election. LT ‘WOMEN SUPPORTED “BATH HOUSE” JOHN. / There is no evidence that the advent of women into politics will make pub- lic officials any better or government any cleaner. The returns from the election in Chicago show that “Bath House” John Coughlin received more vetes cast by women than did his op- ponent, Miss Qrake. This is remark- able because of the fact that all man- ner of accusations were made against “Bath House” and yet the women turned around and voted for him. In that district, however, there are many lodging houses, including the ‘“red light” sectlon, and the women of the under world may have been the ones who supported him, but even at that it is astonishing .that he should re- celve more votes than the. womdan whe was ogposing him and whose platform provided for the cleaning up of the district. The women might at least have supported her on that/issue, and when they didn’t there isn’t much rea- scn to believe that when it comes to veting that the women will act much different from the men. The news from Chicago is far from giving any enéouragement to the wo- men’s cause. When they supported “Bath House” John there is no reason to believe that they are very solid for reform. They simply want the vote the same as a child wants a toy. The Mlinois Lesson. (John O'Keefe in New York World.) I want the vote,” the woman criea, “To cleanse our politics!
