Charles Torres was freed of the charge involving the girl. All live in Lodi. The attack and robbery eccurrt while the Russell girl and Aitken were rct ing to their homes from a dance.

Porter was ar- rayed as an independent candidate against a slate which was supposed te have the sanction of the engin- cors of the machine, . The slate won by a wide margin. The second rev- olution came with the candidacy of Oliver 1. Davis for the nomination as representative, He ran a cam- paign ably assisted by ex-Mayor GeorgeA. Quigley, But he was rolled in the dust by Fred O. Rackliffe and Judge Benjamin W. Alling. The party organization has re- covered considerable ground since it was repudiated by the voters last spring. At that thime the drive was made against State Central Commit- teéman George W, Klett and Mayor Paonessa, a democrat, was reelected with the assistance of voters who did not like Mr, Klett. It was sald at that time that the machine had been broken. It may have been tem- porarily disabled but it is managing to cover distance just the same. “Broken” machines have a way of coming back that is nothing short of miraculous. . All things considered, Mr. Davis made a good run. He had to de- pend almost entirely on voluntary | assistance while the better organ- ized machine, determined to chas- tise the rebel, had greater resources: Chairman Willlam H. Judd of the Republian town committee denied that any preference was being shown in the pre-primary campaign but it is not believed that -he lost any sleep because Mr. Rackliffe and Judge Alling were nominated. Davis had no reason to love Chairman Judd and made very cutting re- marks agbout him and other lcaders of the party during his political ad- dresses. Mr. Davis refused to congratulate the victors. This s unusual in American politics and indicates that the wounds caused during the con- flict have not healed. In connec- tion with Mr. Davis' attitude, it is recalled that Mr. Quig refused to extend his congratulations to Or- son F. Curtis when the latter de-| feated him for the mayoralty nomi- nation. The situation brings up the ques- tion whether Mr, Quigley is losing some of his strength. he results may prove this, or they may prove| the opposite to be true. On the | face of the returns, the Davis-Quig- stipport was not enough to y tthe advocates of the nomina- tion of Mr. ‘Rackliffe and Judge All- ing. But it is also necessary to take into consideration that' the Davi team spent little or no money to get out the vote. The losers claim that they are well satis- fied with results. If the support| they received was given without so- | licitation, they might well he. So long as the present leaders of the | Republican party cling to the reins, | they can count on listening to the | strong veto voice of Mr. Quigley | during pre-primary campaigns. The Democrats of Rerlin gave their friends, the Republicans, some- thing to think about when they nominated Mrs, Mary. Carbo Lar ner for the legislature. It was a strategic move which may have its intended effect at the polls and may bring the Republican plurality down although it is doubtful whether it will have sufficient | weight to turn Berlin into the Dem- ocratic column. Mrs. Lardner's candid will appeal strongly to the Kensington district where she has many friends, The situation is unusuai in lin. Francls A. Deming, the lican nomince, has Amc in his veins which flows generations. Mrs, hered among the Ber- Repub- blood ack many Lardner is num- newer Americans, should not be accepted as a reflection on the young woman, but mercly a statement of facts. The for representative is a fight and new Amer- ican e ica Berlin 1s not woman in a responsible Mary Griswold is a erintendent of schools town. The argument may by some o reactionary spirits in Berlin that “We don’t want wim- averse to placing position. capabls in be uscd a M t last | min in the legislat're” but they will | be answered with the statement that Miss Griswold holds an office equal in importance to membership in the General Assembiy and one which requires superior intelligence | as well as carrying with it greater responsibility, Another woman, Miss Mary Welles Newington, figured prominently in the week’s political news when she gave Elmer W. Pape a hard run for the Republican nomination for representative from that town. Mr. Pape won by a margin of 17 votes ut of what is thought to have been largest number of. ballots ever cast at a caucuy in Newington. Miss Welles proved herself to be an able campaigner. She started arly and with persuasive eloquence ind an ability for presenting facts gained a large following. arly everyone in Newington knows Mary Welles. It is not necessary for her to introduce herself. Nor was it necessary for her to bask in the reflected light of her brother, Jus- E. Stanley Welles, who been one of Newingtori’s best known citizens for many years. She is Mary or Pape also conducted an able mpajgn, as the victory showed. It was narrow, but it was a victory Mr. Pape will no doubt represent o Newington in the legisiature because | in that town the Republicans have consistently- won. Contrary to precedent, the small towns furnished the real excitement of the week. It was necessary the Republicans in Plainville to cast five ballots before definitely making up their mind to mominate John temperature.

P, nomination. It was discovered after the second ballot that 70 fllegl votes had been cast. No accusa- tions were made but it was general- ly understood who sponsoréd the movement to stuff the ballot box, Epaphroditus Peck and Arthur Barne, publisher of the Bristol ~ Press, were nominated. Judge Peck and Mr. Barnes are of the ultra-conservative type. The Democrats are confident = that, by appealing to the younger and more liberal minded voters, théy have a good chance to furnish surprises on election day. The Republican party in Bristol is well organized, a situa- tion which the Democrats, who are not 80 well organized, must over- come, George Hull, widely known In Dristel, stopped into the limelight by appealing against the result of the caucus in Burlington in which he was defeated for the Republican nomination for represantative., When the caucus opened Mr. Hull asked that the check list of registered Re- publicans be used. He was sue- cessiul in this skirmish but, it is claimed, the check list was forgot- ten thereafter, much to Mr. Hull's displeasure. Mr, Hull ran on a plattorm which, bolled down to a few words, was “Burlington for Burlingtonians, He clalmed that the city of New Britain controlied the taxing situation in Burlington and demanded “home rule.” Dr. David Waskowitz, “angel” of the All-New Britain football team, doesn't expect to furnish backing for \he gridiron sport in this city next year, he says. He has dis- covered that the public refuses to be satisfied, After last Sunday's game, which | was a listless contest, the players | and management were sharply cri- ticized by the fans. This aroused Dr. Waskowitz's ire, as might be an- ticipated, and he has made up his mind, he declares, that someone else must take up the burden next year. To Dr. Waskowitz's credit it should be said that he has done as much as any man could be expected to do. Tinancially, the football team has not been a winner thus far There is a large salary roll to be taken care of weekly, a guarantee must be given to visiting teams and rental must be paid to the city for the use of Memorial Field. Dr. Waskowitz has paid these bills out of his pocket and has gone dceper and deeper in the hole just for the love of the sport, he insists. But the impatience of the public is beginning to wear down enthusiasm. He has learned that many other backers of sports and theatrical enterprises have learned, that the public is fickle jade.

FRANK CRANE The chemists have declared war, and it is the kind of war in which everyone can engage. It is a war against wastg, disease, poverty, misery, sorrow and nar- row-mindedness. Dr. Leo Hendrik Baekcland, President of the American Chemical So- clety and Professor of Chemical Engimecring in Columbia University, ‘says that “during the war and previous to the war, it was supposed that Ger- many had a monapoly of tle chemists of the earth. But the outbreak of he war compelled the public to realize the importanceé of the chemists of ° the United States and that Germany was not the only place on earth : where chemists may be born and raised. German chemists have been: remarkably advertised, but other countries have shown a very favorable comparison to them DR. FRANK CRANE’S DAILY EDITORIAL the silent Servant in the House, have been doing sterling work unnoticed; have been solving endl problems connccted with the growth of our industries, our agriculture, the sanitation of our towns and the general development of the Unitad States.” n \ The war is now over, even if the Allies in Europe keep quarreling among thefnselves. The chem is back on his old job. The kind of war he prefers is a war” of pcace where he wears no uniform, although semctimes he risks his life as much as in the trenches. This war is against waste, disease and jgnoramce, ail calamities. Dr. Baekeland says that while the human race has often suffered | from knowledge without idealism; it has also suffered from idealism with- | out knowledge. 1t is the task of our schools and colleges and unive; to teach this to our graduating chemists, and it is the duty of our ists to work and live accordingly It there §s any future war its success will largely be determined by problems of the chemists The averagé man hecomes acquainted with the chemistry only as they have led to visible resuits in our industhy. | he does not know that there exists, in the United States, n of men little known outside of theéir own field who zre very foundations on which future progress depends.
