The common, or garden varlety, of politician is content with whatever victory he can snatch for today, but the party strategists analyze the result of each battle in ‘the hope that it will answer the ever- present question ‘““What of tomor- row?" There are thirty-four senators and thirty-two' governors to be elect- led and the pluralities in doubtful states will be closely examined. Pre-election prophecies invariably prove one thing—and that one thing Is that they prove nothing. In the state 6{ Connecticut the party prophets are quite certain that their respective tickets will receive the endorsement of the voters. Republicans are claiming the state by 40,000, Democrats are more modest, expressing the opinion that their candidates will receive a plurality of 26,000, Even more timid, are other observers who say the democratic ticket will win by 5,000 to 110,000. As both sides cannot win, it is obvious that someone is going to be ‘disappointed when his prophecy fails {to be substantiated by results. 9,‘ The contest in Connecticut has been ‘keen and hard-fought. The fight for he senatorship has been the pivol "i.round which the two major parties jave swung, the rivalry of David E. g:tzGerald. democrat, and Charles A. :fi'empleton, republican, for the gov- | rnor’s chair being of secondary im- rtance, Thomas J, Spellacy, demo- ratic nomfnee for senator has waged bfl«h in!ensh; campaign and has been «ffiub}é‘éted to personal abuse by','the re- _publican press to such an extent that it 48 believed he will receive. thousands oradditional votes as a protest against G. O. P. tactics. Senator George I. McLean, Mr, Spellacy's opponent, has spoken at a number of rallies but his Bppeal for votes has been of a quiet ‘character and not until he appeared An New Britain last week did he be- ‘come involved in the personal attack on Mr. Spellacy. Mr. Templeton has i\xured very little in the campaign. When he was nominated he declared that he would confine his eéfforts to psruonal greetings and he has hardly deviated from this program. . During the entire proceedings there has been a dearth of issues. The mnearest approagh to an issue was the ‘democratic plank which has been in- terpreted as an attack on the Eight- enth Amediment, and the republicans have been wary enough to let this alone. Locally the fight has been interest- Ang because of the presence on the democratic ticket of Mayor Paonessa as candidate for secretary of state. Republicans estimate their plurality in this city as between 1,500 and 2,000 while democrats assert that their G. ©O. P. friends are due for a severe shock. The local democratic candidates for senator and representatives have aroused very little enthusiasm even in their own party. On the other hand, the republican candidates for this of- fice compose the strongest ticket the party has put in the field in recent years. In registered voters the repub- licans are far in the lead. This may have some significance but it Is not & reliable factor on which to base the outcome, Every true citizen should register this preference at the polls. Tomor- row is the day on which the voters Bpeak. They should dake advantage ©of the opportunity. THE MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION In his Armistice Day proclamation Mayor Paonessa urged the public to do three things:— Take part in the parade, Attend the Memorial exercis Decorate gheir with American flag. Here is a course of conduct which ‘few persons can avoid in its entlrety, It will not be possible for all residents to participate in the parades. 11| health, advanced age or other causes Wil prevent many from joining the ranks of marchers, even though the desire to do so be strong. Nor will it be possible for everyone to attend the memorial exercises, There can be no valid excuse, how- ever, for fallure to display the Red, and homes the White and Blue, Everyone should speak, through the medium of the flag, their undying love for the men who followed that flag into battle, and never came back, as well as those whom God returned to our outstretoh- ed arms, From every dwelling and place of business Old Glory should float in the breeze, proof that New Britain has not forgotten, and never will forget, her hero#s of the World War, In the rush of dally events which command our nttention we sometimes become apathetic toward our debt to those who' served to the utmost. A thousand and one problems of exist- ence crowd about us, leaving Iittle time for the consideration of lofty fdeals. But the man must be barren of all sentiment who will not pause on November 11 and canonize in his heart those duuntless martyrs who gave their lives for their country. As the years pass on, generations will be more remote from personal in- terest In the conflict with which we of today were so intimately assoclated. It is our duty, therefore, to establish a high standard of patriotic observ- ance to act as a pattern for the Armis- tice Day of the future, March in the parade and the memorial exercises if but be sure to fly the flags. attend possible, THE ISSUE The matter to be considered in vot. ing tomorrow is'the’ same whether studled from a statewise viewpoint or from the local viewpoint, 8hall there be a change? Shall conservative Con- necticut remain conservative Con- necticut, its political leaders more firmly entrenched, or shall the men of vast interests, supported by friends of large interests, be displaced by others who have had no chance to make their fortunes based upon political favors. It may be admitted that those others, should they be placed in au- thority and should they remain ifi power as long as the present men bes hind political affairs have held sway, might become as autocratic as are the present commanders of affairs in this state. They might grow powerful and rich, to the possible detriment of the people. They might, the other hand, come nearer making this a state goverened for the people and by the people. Shall conservative New Britain 're- main conservative New Britain, its people rather ignorant of what is go- ing on in Hartford, the city represent- ed by men who fit in well with the machine of the past—-n;len who look well, appear well and who are recog- nized as ‘‘conservative gentlemen” when “gentlemen” gather. Or shall consérvative New Britain' think a lit- tle less of apearances, a little more ot intimate representation by men who would not be ashamed to get out to work in their shirtsleeves. It is a clean-cut choice. New Brit- ain is prospefing under the present regime. The manufacturing interests would like to sée Republican: suceess. Manufacturing has made New Britain, On the other hand New Britain in- dividuals are’ not seriously considered at HaMford. Were there to come a chahge, were the Democrats to be suc- cessful, those individuals—“the peo- ple”—would receive 'greater consider- ation from their representatives; for a time at least. Posalbly those repre- sentatives would have less influence in the legislature than would the Re- ‘publican ~representatives. But has that influence in the past helped the ordinary individual in the city a great deal? The voter’s ballot will depend upon his viewpoint. Shall he let ‘‘well enough” alone, or'shall he seck some- thing which he hopes will be better, believing that the manufacturing in- terests here will not suffer no matter who is elected to the legislature or no matter who is elected Governor of the state? L4 on BABSON TALKS POLITICS Roger Babson's letter this week emphasizes the changing political con- ditions along the lines often referred to in these columns. He sees by the year 1928, if not by 1924, two parties, the conservative and the somewhat radical. He sees the dissatisfaction of the people, and their growing tenden- cy to think for themselves, culminat- ing in distinct groups which will take the place of the old Democratic and Republican parties. There is nothing but satisfaction in this viewpoint. A distinct division of the people, the one grotip standing for conservatism, the other for progressive legisiation, is to be desired. Seeking to find whether Mr. Babson leans toward Democracy or Republi- canism in his statement of last Satur- day, one must remain in doubt. He says “as to the immediate effects of the clections they should not be im- portant unless the republican majority in congress should be overthrown. I do not, however, expect such an event.” This statement wouild indicate that the economist favors a maintenance of that republican majority. On the other hand Mr. Babson warns against investment In concerns the prosperity of which is the result of government favors, He says: “Instead of trying to pick the companies which get the most assistance from the government, investors should look for the companies which can get along with the least.” Asx ‘“protection,” brought by high tariff rates may be considered as ‘“government assist- ance,” it is evident that Mr, goes pretty far in indicating his be- llef that high rates do not make for the greater solldity of the companies which he is discussing. “The business which receives the greatest tariff pros tection may not be the best invest- ment,” he says, The “may" is signifi- cant, and reminds of the fact that col- lege professors, speaking of the tarift are in the habit of comparing it to “sand in the cogs of the machinery of trade" ete, Peculiarly enough the New Britain manufacturers advocate the return of Senator McLean because he has dene so much for them along tarift lines. On the other hand, those who do not discuss the protective rates as academic matters, but who, living in this community and having the inter- ests of this community at heart, do not declare themselves absolute free traders, whether they be Democrats or Republicans. g ‘When Mr. Babson discusses govern- mental favors to rallroads however, and affirms that those railroads are a sounder investment if they do not rely on such favors, but rather on internal, wise upbuilding, he is on solid ground. ONE YEAR OF THE HERALD A year ago today The Herald was issued from an improvised plant fol- lowing the fire which played such havoc with it five days before. Pos- sibly readers of that paper noticed lit- tle difference in its ougward make-up. Possibly, as this year has passed, the readers have noticed little change from day to day., But since that time, one year ago, that improvised plant has been changed into one which is more in harmony with the earnest ef- fort of those who work to prepare the paper each day for the public. To call attention to the good points of anything is often the inspiration of comments as to that thing's failings and short-comings. No one is better aware of The Herald's weak points than are those who bend every effort to correct them. But it is only fair to the people who read The Herald and those whose dally work goes into its preparation, to call attention t the improvement made in this one year since the fire—an improvement which has resulted In increased benefit to readers and advertisers = through in- creased circulation and which, it is hopéd, is an indication of what this newspaper will do in the future. SEARCHING FOR LIQUOR Out in Michigan the supreme court has decided that police officers have the right to search automobiles for «evidence of liquor law violationsg*with- out a search warrant. This was:what the ¢ourt decided because four judges Voted this is the law, and three voted it is not the law. Three of those judges held that such.an interpreta-, tion renders all persons subject to un- controllable esplonage and visitation, or, in other words, that it would put all people under such surveillance that their liberty of action would be hampered and their privacy invaded to a degree repulsive to the spirit of the constitution of the United States. The dissenting opinions are reported to have held that such interpretation' would reduce the “bill of rights’ to “a scrap of paper.” Probably those who praise the ma- jority declsion of the court are strong on traditional phrases—"A man's home is his castle,” etc. And yet it would be but a small step from per- mitting search of a man's automobile at any time of day or night, under any circumstances, without search warrant or other excuse, to allowing similar search, at any time of day or night, of that ‘‘castle,” a man's home. One who loves to picture this land as a country of homes, where the hearth is sacred, is repelled h‘y the picture of that home liable to invasion at any hour, under any or no pretext, by pro- hibition enforcement agents who might, themselves, have had a bit more than a ““wee drop” to give them courage for the performance of their exacting duties. This dissenting opin- fon is “good stuff.” Facts and Fancies (BY ROBERT QUILIEN). If he's a wizard with the pigskin, somebody will see that he getsa sheepskin. The bachelor has one disadvantage.

Concluding an investigation insti- tuted by iteelf in 1917, into railroad practices in renting property in New York city, Fresno, Cal,, and Spokane, Wash,, the commission held rental charge in leases of lands to large shippers had been “in practical effect” a reduction of transportation charges amounting to a refund. The commission based its conclusion chiefly upon facts brought out by the investigation conditions &t Spokane, where the investigators found that a city had practically grown up aroynd the right of way of the Northern Pa- cific making the lease privileges on the land of railroads as well .as others very valuable.
