Many ocrats, to read republicans, as well as dem- were unpleasantly surprised the announcement by Con- essman Lonergan that he would not seck renomination at the expira- tion of his present term of office. Mr. lonergan has been and still is a fa- vorite in New Britain which feels a4 sense of ownership quite as much as Hartford, where he lives and where he praciced law until he went to Washington. During his terms of office Mr. Lon- rgan can be said io have served his constituency faithfully, always with the aim of providing his share to- ward good representative government. indication that the people of Britain considered such to be the case can be cited his most recent election when defeated the then Mayor Quigley, the regular republi- can nominee. It wil be recalled that Mr. Lonergan overwhelmed Mr. Quig- right here in New Britain where the latter had, previous to that con- test, been a heavy vote-getter. One measure in which Mr. Loner- gan had an active part directly af- feeted locul citizens. When the fed- cral government assumed control of the railroads passenger fares were raised to three cents a mile, bring- ing the rate from this city to Hart- ford to about thirty cents. This was a hardship for men, women and girls who lived in New Iiruam and worked in Hartford, and ¥ice versa, and it was belleved that the railroad admin- istration ruling would upset labor conditions in this part of the state. However, Mr. Lenergan was quick to recognize the heavy burdens commu- ters would be forced to carry and by cutting all red tape he was suc- cessful in bringing the suburban train aic down to eleven cents, an increase of only one cent over the pre-war rate. This action, as much as any | other, won him the gratitude of New Brit: reg voters who expressed their the handsome plurality ten- when he last sought their n rd in him suppo-t. Another l.onerzan Mr. in for lands. forcign Loneigan the families them every their loved fighting for measure in which took an active part was an increase of wages s who served in foreign le was doubled for duty. During the war Mr. kept in close touch with of soldicrs and offcred comfort possible while ones were across the sea democracy An effort is being madec in certain quarters always hostile to Mr. ergan to convey the impression that he decided to -retire and thus escape the sting of certain defext. This is upon the supposition that is such a revulsion against the tic party that no candidate can under this party’s standard. In contradiction of this belief it is mly necessary to turn back to the last ssional campaign when there ¢ nly strong tide running against administration. candidates for congress on mocratic ticket were defeated with exception of Mr. Lonergan, to efficiency the vot the Hartford district paid tribute. Belief that “it all over but shouting” for the O. P. is slight- prematurc. The republicans can harm their cause and invite de- struction just by following the line of thought that their candidates are certain lo win in November. It is not assured that they ure goinz Lo have a walkover The st there democ win was a the Ome of the remarkable features { connection with the republican ng tional convention at Chicago was tl Lon- | the | the | ceived the news of Senator Harding's nomination for the presidency. Many interested republicans—a number of them gave their names—communi- cated with the Herald by telephone on the evening of the nomination and cxpressed anything but pleasure when they learned that Senator Hard- ’m: had carried the day. It was evi- jdent that there was considerable dis- i satisfaction and although this may Inm be reflected in the vote on elec {tion day it does exist at this writing. | Senator Harding has been referred { the business have of to as a man in whom {interests of the country will =sublime confidence. This line thought is, followed quite closely New Britain and Hartford delegates who have returned from the conven- tion. It may be true with respect to the rest of the country but the first choice of New Britain's bus- iness leaders was Herbert Hoover, | who failed to develop any great 1strength during the struggle for the { nomination. It will be recalled that a Hoover iclub was formed in this city, :]H'Incipal members bLeing the guiding spirits in every important manufac- ‘turing plant. Whether they will re- sent the ‘‘steam roller” tactics fol- jlowed at Chicago and show apathy {during the campaign remains to be seen. With a general inclination to |strip the democrats of all power ex- gnsung it is likely that they will do as in years past and at least con- tribute i« vard the purse of the G. R ot I It was remarked during the con- | vention that John T. King appeared Iln be very much alive for a man {who was supposed to be a pallid, po- ‘llli(‘ul corpse. The Bridgeport poli- { tician enjoyed the spotlight throuzh- the convention much to the dis- I sure of J. Henry Roraback's pu- ! pils, who made the trip to Chicago I\-,m er the personal direction of the tnotficial Connecticut government as represented in the person of J. Henry. Boies Penrose, the pale and in- teresting Pennsylvania invalid who bossed the ‘“‘unbossed’” convention, chose a shrewd man when he select- ed John T. to sit at the Chicago end of his telephone wire and execute his plans of strategy. The humorous rt of the situation was that the Connecticut delegates were eventual- Iy forced to eat out of Mr. King's hund, as much as they failed to relish such an experience. John T. and J. Henr¥, ants for the Connecticut leader- p. do not send postal cards to | each other when they go out of town on pleasure tri J.

But who wants | control of a single state when he can have virtual control of the nation? and so far as the republican con- !vention is concerned that is about {what John T. had.

People are ling: frecly on his action in dismis- sing Georze H. - Dyson from the ! chaipmanship of the Board of Health nd- it is the consénsus that.it was the | ' about knocking the supports out from ! in | But, | comment- | { dish. ineering. While it must be admitted that it is desirous to have harmony in the ‘official family even to the ex- tent of the mayor why oppose him it must be said that he is exercising poor judgment in {hitting at the head of every commis- sioner who happens to disagree wit :n opinion. 5 Like many other men who attain high public office, His Honor is showing evidence of an attack ol ex- azgerated ego and no doubt hz s {1aboring under the ha'lucination, so common to little men in big pluces, that he is the government, head and j feet. Mr. Dyson is being widely com- imended for his attitude in refusing to resign and insisting on being dis- charged, which unhappy result was trought about yesterday by Mayor {Curtis. As chairman of the Board of Health, Mr. Dyson was well with- {in his rights in demanding that he be allowed executive authority and that Mayor Curtis refrain from med- dling. The chairman of any com- mission should have authority to di- !rect the affairs of his department lwithout interference by those who ihave political axes to grind. Upgon {this principle stable zovernment’ is {founded. A chairman preme until it is clearly evident that he is not competent to discharge the duties of his office when he should be removed. It was believed -when was elected mayor that he would use {diplomacy when dealing with mem- ybers of city commissions but he has Fun true to form, as a few who knew him intimately feared he would. Such incidents as the Dyson affair tare an indication to other commis- sioners that they must not speak !above a whisper unless they wish to {be thrown overboard ruthlessly. In jthe meantime the city pays dearly for its mayor’s temper because men jof independent minds will not care ,to serve under a domineering mas- | ter. I ... In another instance Mayor Curtis has shown lack of vision by announc- {ing belligerently that he will veto a { recommendation from the fire com- mission that a deputy fire chief be appointed. Such a proposition docs inot meet with favor on the part of | Mayor Curtis and regardless of its merits it is doomed to die in the mayorally waste-basket. Eugenc Barnes, who would be ap- pointed to the position, would serve with credit to himself and the de- partment. He is a man of broad ! experience and sound judgment and ;enjoys the respect of al!ll who know him. He has never taken an active part in politics, being content to fol- low the calling of fireman. Now that the vity has an opportunity to re- ward a faithful servant and at the same time strengthen iis against fire, Mayor Curtis disapproves and writes finis to The mayor should and learn that New grown its swaddling clothes and is a real city with a population of 60,000. It is time that we had a deputy fire chief recoznized by the ordinances. But the mayor doesn't want one—so there. . Mr. Curtis look about him .
