With the republican party standing against a ocommon enemy, the duty is plain. It hgs fought for the principles of pro- tectioh for many years, and it's posi- tion and policy is well known. Than its candidate, President Taft, there is no stronger advocate of the party’s pesition and platform and he has dem- omstrated throughout his term of of- fice that 1t is the welfare of the coun- try for which he is working.

The selection of fire apparatus is e which offers many problems to a municip . ‘because of . the many claims of turers as to super- ‘for equipment or advantages in their respective models. Bach one natur- ally maintains that he has the best, and 1t remains for those In charge of selecting the apparatus to determine what 18 best for their particular lo- cality. Many things enter into this decigion when it comes to considering how well the respective machines fill the bill, for each city lays stress on { points, New Britain at the present time is in the midst of an in- veptigation over some motor-driven apparatus and the selection of the type of car to be secured. ‘Norwich has gone thoroughly over this ground and considered the best ype of car for a city with as many alls as this. It was not a difficult ‘matter to reach a decision on hill climbing, power, or that of tires, but ome important ‘consideration given to the selection of the machine pur- chased was the value of a car which was manufactured nearby, and the wisdom of the selection was justified after the car had been in commission but a short time. An accident, through no fault of the car, put it ot of commission on the way to a fire. Tt would have been useless for some time but for the nearness of the factory, which permitted it being put in use again that evening, All other things being equal, the nearness of the factory proved the wisdom of the commismioners’ choice. HIDING BEHIND A MASK. .The purging of the national repub- tican committee as carried out in ac- cordance with plans, rids the organ- ization of men who were acting as brakes to the progress of the organ- ization. They were occupying places to which they had no title in view of their declarations, and they owed it to the party as honorable citizens to have resigned. It was, however, a po- litical trick, the same as the grabbing of the eorganization in California and Kansas, and attempted in other states. The New York World pointedly says in this regard: “Only the plainest English will fittingly characterize po- litical villainy of this type, The of- fense thus committed in behalf of a cause ostentatiously deveted to God and righteousness has few parallels in the partisan scoundrellism of the most degraded peoples. “To create a party in opposition ; to the regular organization, with dif- ferent principles and candidates, and then by tricky laws to exhibit the false pretense under the name and symbols of the true party, is as vicious morally as counterfeiting and forgery. In some states it would be punished as a crime. “Mr. Roosevelt says daily that the republican .party is boss ridden and | corrup.t In California he is the can- didate of that party He has gra- clougly approved and adopted the commandment, ‘Thou shalt not steal’ In California his supporters have stol- en evervthing in sight.
