DEFENSE TEST TOMORROW Tomorrow is Defense Day, and a program regarded as befitting tle occasion has been arranged by a committee of New Britain ciiizens appointed for the purpose. The day has been set apart as a test to determine the extent of co- operation possible among cit'zenry in event a threat of war made speedy Bingham as the next governor. The chances are that John ‘Wadhams will not again gain M. | 1|\|3; confidence of the anti-gachine fac- | tion in the state.

Col.

Should h | nor's chair, as seems probable, it is to be hoped he takes orders from no ce the | land in the goves one. The only way to discour: arganization in this state is for states- men, after they are elected through its aid, not to “'stay put.” The colonel should be an independent governor, 4t he wishes the confidence of the public, which is becoming incrcas- ingly suspicious of the organization which controls the desf Republican machine in at least.

The idea at first was variously ac- cepted, but the hullabaloo which greeted announcement of the plans a month or so ago has largely sub- sided. Opponents of the president denounced the scheme as a war measure at first, but such oppasition quietly died out as the plans became better known. Ridiculous things may have been said by its advocates, some of them emanating from the war department iwelf; but since that time the men at the head of the movement have acted in a reasonable manper and cynical criticism has been largely disarmed, although there remains considerable opposi- tion by certain Democratic papers, headed by the New York World, which called the day “an incendiary holiday.” Dr. R. W. Sockman, pastor of the Madison Avenue Methodist church, New York, is quoted as having made one of the best non-technical state- ments on the meaning of the day: “If the defense test will" be Jooked upon in the light of a po- Jice parade, as a reminder of our national determination to up- hold law and justice both within and without our borders; If it will serve to show how small an army is neceded to protect us; it it will convince the country that in case of future conflict wealth and labor will be con- seriped as faithfully as human if it will sting America a to see that her real na- tional streagth is not in material equipment, which is so rapidly scrapped. but in the physical fit- pess, mental alertness and moral health of her people, and thus cause her to check up her progress in life-building, the Defense Day may serve somie useful purpose.” The speaker “feared” that the day might become something more, but in the quoted paragraph told what the day ought to be, and what on the whole it probably will be. Everything depends upon the and judgment with which the out. Both believed are Britain's cele- the a “preparation for sense carri=d it New exercises are these qualities, is prominent in We are day will not be the next war” affair nor be identi- fied with political propaganda, but will be in accordance with the sug- gestions of Commander-in-Chief Coolidge, “a non-militaristic gesture bration. assured that for the purpose of keeping down to its lowest possible point the profes- sional military organizations of the United States.” THE VOICE OF MAINE turnout at the polls in Maine was the heaviest in the history of Logic is agalnst supposing heavy vote was due to the citizenry going to the polls ve 0.

Brewster, will be not more than 40,000, or some 25,000 smaller. In other words the Democratic candidate, Wil- liam R. Pattangaj!, has evidently gained more of the margin of | increase than the Republican.” 3ut the Boston Herald, standpat fore they were 17 years of age and | Tribune, anether staunch G.

Both of them must know at least two not @ campalgn lssue in Maine's state election, and that the Ku Kiux Klan wae the major Issue, The Kluxers won with the help of those loyal partisans who didn't care about the Klan menace. But if the two “metropotttan” papers quoted delve under the figures as thoroughly as the Waterbury Republican, con- sclence might dictate” a tendency toward caution and truth. E Fernald, G, O.

In 1922 Maine Ree publicans polled ‘58 per cent of the vote, but the party lost control of congress. “The Maine Republicans this year maintain their percentages of 1922," adds the World, and then gives the following fair appraisal of the “barometer” angle of the elec- tion. “If Mairs is a barometer, the re- sults on Monday Indicate & slight Republican lead, with & strong ‘ tendency toward an indecisive clection, The Repubiican per- centage is too high too Indicate a Democratic victory, too low to promise a definite Republican victory., What value has Mathe this year as a barometer}” We beg leave to answer, “Noth- Ing!” The issues of the national elec- tion are interwoven with La Follette, and Maine is one of the states where the LaFollette defection is not only greatly lacking, but what there may be of it could not obtrude itself in a state election. THE BAY STATE BALLYHOO The Massachusetts primary has brought out nothing spectacular. The only contest that created widespread interest—that for the Republican genatorship momination—resulted in the expected, a victory for Frederick H. Gillett, now speaker in the na- tional house of representatives. Gil- Jett will have to defeat Senator David 1. Walsh to enter the pearly portals of his ambition in Washington. His two opponents in the primary, Louis A. Coolidge and Congressman Fred- erick W. Dallinger, combined a total of voles that did not equal that of Gillett. The Boston Herald enumerates the qualities of Gillett that are supposed to make of him a man greatly de- sired in the scnate. It appears from the Boston paper that his main characteristic is that he hews a care- tul middle-of-the-road policy, taking | care to go contrary to as few views as possible and being at all times in a position to swing from one side | ot a political fence to the other, as loccanon demands and political ex- pediency dictates. We tearn from the Boston paper that he opposed the 18th amend- ment and the Volstead act, but favors obeying them now that they are law. Yet, we read, “while he does not regard the Volstead act as sacred, as against possible modifica- tion, he would beat no retreat from | the experiment upon which the country has entered. He thus occu- | pies a position midway between that l'ot nis opponents” in the primary. The same middle road program Is | true of nis attude toward the world court, we are informed. “He favors | the Coolidge-Hughes program, but | has not gone so far as Candidate Dallinger in praise of the League of exhibited the same | entanglements with it that have | characterized e utterances of | Louts Coolidge, his other opponent.” In other words ,he is ready to spring | as the whip cracks, and any Republi- | can administration can rely upon | him to work well in the party traces, no matter where the road leads to. Child labor is another example. “He will be with President Coolidge on that question, but will be exceed ingly conservative in any legisiation that might be proposed under the grant of authority Which that | amendment seeks to give congress. On this question, too, he occupies & middleground position, and hence the expediency of his nomination.” In other words, the way to get eomewhere in Republican Bay State politics is to be a nonentity in ideas, hard-bofled toward reform, and a a Republican strait- two Natlons, nor mummy in jacket.

At the end of ten days we were both almost dead, but I refused to desert my post. “I had a large collection of turbans, official and otherwise. The faithful chap brought fhem all out, wet them in our scanty water supply, swung them in the air to coé] them, and proceeded to wrap me from head to foot In what was nothing but a large turban, He wrapped in with me several loaves of bread and a quantity of dried figs.
