Yet what is the state gasoline tax but a toll charge in another form? e WHAT BINGHAM WILL DO IF ELECTED GOVERNOR, The New Haven Journal-Courier, being a dutiful Republican machine | organ, opines it knows Hiram Bing- ham personally and is in a position | to give an opinion as to what he will do if elected governor. The New Haven paper, of course, | hasn't conferred with the Yale pro- fessor, but says ti knows what it is talking about from its intimate knowledge of hig style. If elected governor, the paper | states, Bingham will not stand on ceremony in the state house but any reputable citizen will have access to him. “As governor he will not only | welcome but invite suggestions from | the party leader (J. Henry Roraback) | or any other reputable citizen who had useful suggestions to offer,” de- clares the New Haven oracle.

Butler's'speech W wmten to | R NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, further the Republican cause in the political campalgn., The Herald urges citizens to attend the gather- ingat which he will*speak and give the distinguished hearing; note his views and his rea- sons for wishing a eontinuance of Coolidge in the White House, ana- Iyze them thoroughly, the topics he speaks upon, attempt visitor a careful investigate to learn the other side, and then come to a decislon as reason dic- tates, The Herald will give its readers a full, accurate and uncolored account of his address. The Herald will do the same by any other distinguished speaker brought here by any other party. COOLIDGE DOES WELL TO HONOR THIS MAN, In pursuance of our policy to give »dit where it is due,political cam- palgn or no campaign, the Herald is glad to commend President Coolidge for waiving the civil service rules by issuing an ex to the postmaster at St. Louis, Mo,, so that Michael B. Ellis, whose bravery in A. E. F. procured for him a congressional medal of honor, might be added to the post office staff as a utive order the | clerk or carrier, The president could scarcely have done otherwise, yet it is refreshing to find him acting upon such a mat- ter with dispatch after hesitating un- duly upon other matters of import- ance, But such action does not erase the president’s carlier opposition to ade- quate remuneration for post office workers, nor does it wash the bad taste from the mouths of ex-service men generally for his opposition to adjusted compensation to world-war veterans, which was brought about through congressional action over his veto. RADIO IN THE CAMPAIGN NO WONDER-WORKI Last summer it was written and printed and spoken that the would completely revolutionize the election campaign this fall. It has had plenty of time to revolutionize the situation but so far as the naked eye and the attentive ear can deter- mine, there is no change in the pa- radio tient. The leading candidates have taken turns in “telling it to the voters over the radio,” and the assumption has been that there were listeners.” The radio is a treacher- ous instrument, however, for nobody “millions of | can tell how the listeners hang on. There are stories to the effect that when political speakers and plenty of music are “on the air’ at the sers get it in the same time, the sp neck.
