THE ELECTION Congratulations to Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa. New Britain has done the square thing by him in recogniz- | ing the sound, during the two just passed. Moreover we believe the people of the eity, other than a comparatively few intense partisans, are content, many of them unusually enthusiastic as shown by the demonstrations last night. We say advisedly that Mayor Paonessa, irritated as he was by the eharge of “mud-slinging” is to be con- 'ruull.ud. also, for. refraining to do the mud-slinging of which he would have been guilty had he repeated in public many of the stories brought to !lln of alleged facts regardtg the Bactics of workers against him. Judge Alling is to be congratulated for conducting a clean campaign. His personal sacrifice in heeding the call of his party leaders would make him the worst sufferer témporarily at least, were he not as highly regarded per- sonally as he is, And this normally republican city s fortunate in having an independent electorate, able to choose wisely and iotelligently, free from political pre- Judice, In the first three wards the net gain of the republicans over that party's Vvote two years ago was 191, the great- «st gain being in the frst, Judge Alling's home ward. The republicans galned in the first and third, but lost 217 votes in the third ward over the total given two years ago. The democrats, on the other hand, gained a total of 577 in the three| wards they won, the increase being 126 in the fourth, 363 in the fifth and &% in the sixth, comparing yesterday's vote, probably the largest at a muni- c)m{ election in the history of the city, to the vote -of‘two years ago. ‘The eauses contributing to Mayor Paonessa's election were, first, in the election of 1922, his personal popularity among the people of the city who did not hesitate to eall him “Angelo;” second the xood‘ndminl-- tration he has given the city by which he has proven true to his word and able to keep the city affairs running smoothly and efficiently, and, third, a | protest against the feared interferen of the state republican machine, locally represgnted, in the affairs of the city. Of these contributing the greatest was the desire of “the peo- P to re-elect a man of the peopie who had made good to such an ex- tent that there was no issue to raisc } weno just adverse criticism of his ad- | ministration to offer, The worst that the opponents of the mayor could say | was that his administration been & “marked success.” If it stated that his conduct of the city af- | fairs had not been a “success,” with- out the qualifying a to notice such eriticism.

George Q. George K., and Orson F., with their satellites, were all gathered on the band-wagon, there was no split in the republican | ranks, the party presented what was hailed as a united front and there had never, seemingly, been a better func- tioning machine collected to bring out | voters in a town normally republican | by a magority well over a thousand, It; seemed as if there was “nothing to it" | even to those who privately hoped that | Paonessa would win, Judge Alling's personal popularity is unquestioned, his ability, if elected, would probably be up to the mark, he | was the choice of the entire party. Mayor Paonessa had & good record for two years back to point to, He had little ‘else to aid him, fewer automo- biles at the polls, not any sort of an organized democratie machine—and the element for Which we And it was that element which €lected him. His record helped, personality | helped, his conduct in office helped, but none of them' enough to overcome the normal lead of the republicans, The truth of the matter is that there was a large ph&ui! vote cast yester- day, a vote that implied that the peo- ple of the city of New Britain are dis- pleased with the dictatorial methods of the republican organization in the city, It was evident a Week or so ago | that the only man who really wanted to run for mayer in the republican ranks, one John Gill, did not have a chance for the nomination. It was more or less evident that a sefrch had to be made for a candidate and the whole Holmes-Alling situation was The republi- can organization did not want Gill, for reasons best known to itself, it did want Alling, and Alling was nominated as it had decided. It is high time for the organization to pay a little more attention fo the wishes of the people that it pretends to serve, The people have ceased 1o follow a slight wish on the part of the dictators, There is no intention of implying that there is any graft in the city of New Britain, We do not believe that there is. But the ring that has beén in control has been o for %o long that it | has become absolutely carcless of the | voters, It docs not eare what they think, want «or belleve, it simply wishes to dictate. Tt I8 never willing to | lay its cards on the table and play the it pussy-foots and dilly-dallys ch can not make mistakes and which knows more than anyone any group, Yesterday the democrats had a good candidate, a good record and a bopeless job, Tod have the mayor of New Britain vietory | | earch, his game, or ®0 it seemed. they and the opposition has nothing to | thank for it but its own refusal to play | the game in full sight of every voter | in the light of day over a pinochle table in a back room. and instead of w Britain has grown too large for that kind of politics and as soon as it is learned the better off the republi- | can party will be GERMANY'S ATTITUDE Germany's views of the Dawes'| plan, as it is calle o straighten- s tangle has been d ¥ ing out the reparatio greatly will continue to be influence £ not by the w Were netirely Frafee looks at that same plan.

A SERIOUS QUESTION Now no one should smilé and turn aside from this comment, scorning to consider it further as being beneath notice, for it is not. It is a mention of_a most serious matter over which thinking people of the world are be- coming much concerned. In no at- tempt at humor it is declared that this serious affair is the practice of bBobbing the hair by girls and women. It is said 2,000 of them have their hair bobbed every day in New York. It has been said that bobbing the hair makes it more luxuriant, But now it is said that if ,the thing continues we will a race of women as thoroughly addicted to baldness as are the men—and every- bald-headed man, after reaching middle life, is the rule rather than the exccption. For, they | say, bobbing injures the hair, So it comes to a scrious discussion, and we are not joking about it. “To have | who decla that cutting the hair of women does it | Or are those right who declare that it will never come in again as| well as before the operation? Moreover the horrible prophesy ex- tends to the children, It is claimed by sume that cutting the child’s hair quently harms it. True, many of the statements disapproving of bobbing | the hair comes from hair dressers who would be put out of business, perhaps, it there were to be no long hair to! ‘work over, And those who make a business of bobbing hair say, many of them, that it will come in more lux- uriantly, There are plenty of wit- nesses to the truth of this statement. | Are there as many who will testify that bobbing their hair was a serious | mistake? We are concerned, e fre- We do not un- dertake to advise. But we do declare | that we would hate to look forward | to a time when a glorious head of hair would no longer be woman's erowning glory, The bobbers declare “once bobe hed, always bobbed.” The greater con- venience, otc., makes it popular, as vogue or mode, call it what you will, But let other investigations temporarily, Tet the great the country be turned to this subject, things women's preserved and wore erase minds of | for above all hair | must be saved, shipped. | AN INEVITABLE ‘ When civilization .reaches full de- | | as far as such a thing may | velopment, be attained, all advocacy of ignorance will have fallen.
