Those unfortunates who live on the Chestnut and East Main street line are at the point of rebellion over the type of cars being used to trans- port them.

Various namwes have been applied to the cars and to the line.

There is noth- ing pleasing about the East Main- Chestnut trolleys, according to those who ride in them daily. The interiors offend the eye, as well as the spine, and they would not be acceptable even in a Cntral American village.

If ! people are not buying they must be encouraged to buy and the greatest encouragement is a reduction in price. see Those far-seeing republicans who first conceived the ilea of organizing ward clubs in New Britain now see their efforts beginning to show fruit. | The history of the clubs is one of | good fellowship and good times, but there has been a very definite and practical idea behind all the suppers, outings, etc. Man is an animal ot habit, which is another way of saying that men are too lazy to do something different. Face most men toward the west and tell them to walk straight ahead and they would eventually reach San Francisco and topple over inte the sea at the Cliff House. The moving spirits behind the re- publican organization here are keen vchologists. They know the animal called man much better than most men. They have built solidly and well and it will take a political cata- clysm to wreck their structures. The old time suppers and outings are over, sure enough, unless con- gress relents and amends the inhibi- tions against the manufacture, sale, distribution and transportation of beverages of an alcoholic content of more than one-half of one per cent How, we would like to ask M. Vol- stead, how can this free and un- trammelled electorate jump onto tables and cheer for the speaker of the evening with nothing more ‘in- spiring than coffee? Answer:— It can’t be done. . Voting de luxe will be in order-of the day next Tuesday with the best automobiles in town impressed into service to bring the women to the polls. The work has been well or- ganized and women wha are known as democrats or republicans will most Tikely enjoy the novelty of rid- ! ing in style to the voting places where | they cast their ballots. Time was when the men were dragged to the polls by horses in a state of more or less decrepitude, the horses, not the men. Almost every- one who could handle a pair of reins could be cer n of a “job™ on election day. gave up their derelicts both human and animal, and all the squeaky and sg'oaky carriages for miles around were brought out and brushed up in gqrder to convey his majesty, the Americn citizen, to the polls in a state of grandeur befitting his dignity and importance.

And then imagine the blow to his young pride upon emerging from his home with his mother’'s kiss still haunting his'lips, to find this collec- tion of relics,—man, horse and car- riage—waiting at the porte cochere. If this were a movie scenario the young man would have indignantly walked to the polls. But it is a story from life and the fact remains that he swallowed his pride and climbed in anything but “home, James' confidence. And it is further on record that when he reached the polling place his sensitive soul was further grievously wounded by a seedy look- ing individwal disguised as a voting booth official who remarked, as the youth reccived his paper ballot, “Hurry up, Kid. there's a lot of men behind you that want to vote.” Such are the disillusionments life. Pride cometh in the Fall Al straws paint to a successful drivi for $600,000 for the New Britain General hospital. It is being recog- nized more and more that an up to date institution with modern equip- ment and a sufficient number ofskilled nurses is essential if a city is to pro- gress. Cansequently there sHould not be any hesitation toward giving free- 1y because it is for a public improv: ment of the first necessity. Since the coming of Superintendent Fay, the New Britaln hospital has im- proved in efficiecy and morale. He has proved to be an inspiring leader with the customarydisregard of a leader for: red tape. He has shown by his conduct that he believed a hospital actually belongs to the people and he has suc- ceeded in germinating this spirit successtully among members of his of | stafr. Clarence F. Bennett is an ideal man tu have charge of the campaign. Thosz who know him are fully cognizant of his energy and direct-action methods.

Parents will natur. | ally be interested in the slogans sub- sire to help will be strenghten Although the drive has not beer | started there should not be any lack i of confidence. This does not mean that the workers will succeed without strenous and sericus effort. Bu New Britain never quit yet and it ‘doesn’t intend to quit now. coe Democratic leaders may as well prepare for bad news when the votes’ are counted on election day. Unl & miracle occurs, New Britain will givg the republican party a big majority. The victory will have been earned by the G. O. P- strategists because ; from the earliest part in the campaign they have betn con- centrating their efforts on strenithyy ening their organization, wWhich was already in a healthy condi- tion. Onzanization wins in politics ol business and the republican machin. has built up an organization here that has no rival in the state, or even the naticn. . Of course work af this nature rey, quires money and in this the G. O. P. has been fortunate, having affiliated with it a majority of the moneyed men of the town who have never hesitated to contribute toward th> war chest when such contributions were necessary. Moat of the manufac- turers are republicans because they feel that the republican party's policy of high tariff far protection of Amer- ican industries is the correct one (& pursue. As the manufacturers natur- ally have more money than the ordinary run of us mortals they are able to supply the sinews of war on a' generous seale. Compared with their rivals, the democrats are as poof as charch mics. There are not many men in the party who bave reached that stage of af= fluence which permits them to open' their purses. And if money talks, the democrats will not specak much abave® a whisper next Tuesday. There are several factors which may help to stgm the tide in New' Britain.- As an example might be cited the case of Congressman Lonergan of Hartford who aspires to wear t toga of Senator Fimnk B. Brandegee of New London. Mr. Lonergan is the one candidate of whom the republican party need stand in fear. His crush- ing defeat of George A. Quigley 1n their race for congress is still fresh in the minds of the voters. It will be recalled that he carried New Brit- ain by a wide margin, Whether hg~ will be able to retain part of his New Britain strength is a question. Cer- tain it is that there is no talk in re- publican circles of Lonergan beinz snowed under in this city, especially in view of the faet that he is opposing a man wha has displeased large num- bers of women voters, It is confidently belteved that Eda ward F. Hall will be elected senator and Richard Covert and Arthur good majorities. One of the mysteries of the state campaign is the democratic nominee for gavernor, Mr. Tyler. Thus far her has managed to hide his light under a bushel pretty well and not many folks in the state know what he looks like. It begins to look as if the demo- cratic convVention played a practical joke on Mr. Tyler vvhen they named him to ride at the head of the patade h lance polished and plume flying from his helmect. A conversation between two citizens, both of whom read the papers, is illuminating. One said he though Cox would be defeated. “Well, how will Connecticut go?” he was asked, and bis guess was that the republicans would roll up about 20,000 more thaw the rival camp. “Mr, Tyler does not seem to be very strong, does he?” inquired tbe questioner. “Mr. Pyler™ Rutherford representatives &nd all by mitted by their off'spring and th'ii“' ac- 8
