BANQUET FOR KING AT BRIDGEPORT Republicans May Sound the State Upon- Gubernatorial Timber New Haven, Dec. 16—Thirteen hun- dred or more republicans from Bridge- port, and all parts of the state will, it is ‘expected, attend the banquet to John H. King, Fairfield county leader, at the Casino, in Bridgeport, this evening. Senators McLean and Brandegee, who were expected to be present, have wired that they will be unable to get away from Washington, on account of con- gressional business, and the only con- gressman who will attend is Ebenez- er J. Hill, all the others being held | in the capital city by business, too. Governor Marcus L. Holcomb, and all the state officers, with members of the state central committee, thirty- five in number, will be present, and he senators of the last general assem- bly will be invited guests of Senator Bagtlett, president of the senate. From 5 to 7 o'clock a reception for the governor and notable guests will be held at the Algonquin club, where luncheon will be served at 6 o'clock Mayor Wilson is to be toastmaster at the banquet at the Casino. Tt un- derstood that a handsome gift will be presented to Mr King: Central Committee to Meet. The republican state central com- mittee will meet before the reception The matter of a successor to the late Theodore M. MacDonald on the com- mittee, from the ninth district, will not come up formally at this meeting testimonial | \hut will be voted upon at the Janu- " ary meeting. However, it is not in- | conceivable that some slight reference | will be made to the vacancy among ' other matters. | While ostensibly the banquet is a demonstration of the regard felt by ‘the republican ' club of Bridgeport | for their leader, Mr. King, in view of his handsome victory in the recent city election, it will be the first at- { tempt made to sound informally the | state upon gubernatorial timber. The Blakeslee forces will go down, deter- mined not to relinquish one iota in favor of any other candidate, and even those who do not want the for- i mer lieutenant governor for their can- didate do not deny that he has built a very significant machine in the state, which may entitle him to the | nomination, whether J. Henry Rora- back, the state chairman, wants him or not. Primed For Healey, On the other hand the upstate ! forces will be down, primed for their andidate, Frank Healey, who -like- ! wise has been favored by the state chairinan for the nomination. The boom for Wilson, fathered by Leader ! King, which at first had very con- siderable pretensions, scems to have lost some of its pristine strength and to lack the force by which it was in- itiated but that it is not by any means dead can be vouched for by any one in Bridgeport, with his ear near | enough to the political ground there who can hear the rumblings of am- i bition for Wilson which . cannot be stilled- And they believe in Fairfield county that King can move any polit- jcal impediment, and point particu- larly to the fact that his candidate, v on, the minority choice in the last city election there, won the .day decisively. | U.

NATION-WIDE FIGHT State Board of Health in Report Dis- cusses Decreasing of Infant Mortality. Hartford, Dec- 16.—Discussing the nation-wide campaign for better ‘babies, decreasing of infant mortality. March 4 to 11, 1916, the monthly bul- letin of the state board of health is- sued yesterday says good work done to improve living conditions in any community is for the well-being of all and should be eagerly welcomed. continues: “In the better babies cam- ! paign is there not something to be said and done more fundamental than for the babies themselves? Should we not start with a campaign for better parents and regulating the pro- duction, so that each child may have what is its first right, that of being 1well born? So long as the degener- ates, feeble minded, epileptics and in- ebriates produce of their kind, just so long will there be a renewed sup- ply of human being to travel ' the paths that lead to the reformatories, the school for imbeciles, the jails, the epileptic colony, the farm for in- ebriates and the ever crowded insane asylums. “The physical and mental defects are not so much the result of environ- ment, as of birth or inheritance. Better babies, yes, by all means but begin right. Our great economic problems may be helped in the solving when we segregate and prevent re- production by the wunfit and when youth realizes the sacred obligation that is its own when a new life is brought into the world for which it is directly responsible. Better ideals, better morals, better parents, and as a natural result better babies.” MURDERED AND ROBBED. Aged Civil War Veteran Head With Club. Great Barrington, Mass., Dec. 16.— Lafayette Battelle, an aged Civil war veteran, who lived alone on a small farm near here was found dead in his bed yesterday, a victim of murder and robbery.
