LESS SNEERING AT CONNECTICUT FARMERS. Nowhere in New England Do Farms Pay Better, Says Governor. Suffield, Conn., Oct. he Suffield Agricultural fair opened today and Governor Baldwin was the guest of the association. The governor in a speech referred to fairs such as the Suffield fair as having many attractions in it to all, and if there is a man, he said, for whom it has no att ion, th fault is his. It is a good thing now adays, said the governor, fo be in a place where nature can show such fine horses and fruit as we have in Con- necticut. A fair also gives the op- portunity to meet old friends and to make new ones. These fairs gave the farmers a chance to take a day off, and that was a good thing. They tend to bind the community together and stimulate activity Hé said he noticed as there wa e went on s sneering at the Connecticut farnfer. owhere in New Tngland, he sai could farming be made to pay better to the square acre than in Conmecticut. Connecticut is within easy distance of all the mar- kets, so that there mnot heavy ex penses of transportation. He referred to the fact that Connecticut has an ag- ricultural experiment station at New liaven and another at Storrs, and con- tinued: “I hove the youns men of this state will stay right here in Connecticut Connecticut ha% as mood farms as Manitoba and Nebraska, and the farms | in_this state need no irrization. They raise apples that can be sent across the Atlantic and peaches that taste like peaches.” Governor Baldwin left toward the latter part of the afternoon for New Haven. REJECTS COMMISSION RULE.

Report of Bombardment. A special edition of the Rome Tri- buna published the statement that! the Italian cruisers. entered the harbor of Tripoli Tuesday afternoon, bombarded the forts and the governors castle, made a landing and hoisted the Ital- ian flag. Turkish Transport Captured. The most. important capture of the war is that of the Turkish transport Sabah, with a Turkish general, many troops and much ammunition aboard. May Bombard Prevesa. Corgu savs that the Duke of the Abruzzi, in_command of a torpedo flotilla off Prevesa, threatens a bom; bardment of that place. The poft of- ficials’ appeal to the powers has beem answered by the powers to the effect that they cannot offer mediation until a basis of settlement is suggested on the lines of the Italian demands. . Advices here from Constantinople say that a new cabinet has been nom- inated and that it will continue the policy looking to mediation. Bound for the Dardanelles. Turkish battleships and a cruiser have béen sént to reinforce the squadron in the Dardanelles. Turkey, it is stated, has troops aboard two Russian steamers now held up at Suez.

'The expedition will be started from ports in two scas, rather than from South Italy and Sicily, in order to minimize that dan- ger, and evidently Italy is no hurry to et the expedition on the way. Turkish Cabinet Crisis. Another reagon for the delay of war- like operations is the continuance of the Turkish cabinet crisis. Clearly the old officers are remaining in. office against their will and are unable to formulaet or agree upon any definite line of action. It is even' reported that the minister of marine has re- signed on account of flagrant disobedi- ence of his orders to the flect. Meanwhile the pour parlers of the powers continue without intermission. : is said that Russia is now support- ing Germany in her efforts to bring akout peace.

New Haven, Oct. 8.—The liveliest municipal campaign in New Haven culminated at the polls today with the re-clestion of Mayor Frank J. Rice over former Mayor James B. Martin, a democrat, The interest was intensi- fied by the participation in the con- test of Frank S. Butterworth, son of the late Congressmar: Ben Butterworti of Ohio, and a former Yale football player. Mr. Butterworth aided the in- dependent movement and took the nomination of that movement for the mavoralty, aiming his attack upon the Hepuhli('xn organization, of which Col. sazc M, Ullman, a presonal friend of President Taft, is the recognized lead- er, and denouncing political conditions under the terms of “Ullmanism” and “possism, Ticket Made Wp of Soreheads. Mr. Butterworth took the stump and addressed factory employes at the gates during their moon hour. With Mr. Butterworth on the ticket were some “candidates whom the “republi- cars” labeled “disappointed office seekers.” The balance of the ticket was made up of the more popular nominces on the republican and dem- ocratic tickets, \Few campaigns have been so vituperative as this. Citizens’ Movenient a Fizzle. The strength of the citizens' move- ment was not great,.

The surprise was the de- feat by 234 of Jonathan Rowe, a dem- ocrat, long controller, but who was placed on the republican ticket after his failure to get the nomination. The successful nominee was Arthur D. Maullen, who until recently was a clerk in Mr. Rowe's office, Strong ¥ a Democrat, Weak as a Re- publican. ‘When Mullen announced that he would be a candidate for the control- lership he resigned. Mr. Rowe had been so successful on the democratic ticket in past elections that the re- publicans expected he would win, but apparently: he did not get democratic votes, nor did the republicans support him fully, Robert E. Lee, the present registrar of vital statistics, a repub- lican, won by two votes over Andrew P. Allen, his democratic opponent. City Treasurer's Re-election. City Treasurer Henry Fresenius, democrat, won by seventy votes over Harry ‘Whipple, as close a margin as two years ago. City Sheriff Koller- strom and City Clerk Pallman, the present republican incumbents, were re-elected, and the returns show a re- publicar majority in the board of al- dermen. Jubilant Republicans Parade. After the returns had been complet- ed there was a parade of the republi- cans to the homes of Mayor Rice and Colonel Ullman, and a general jubila- tion.
