In the caucus of the New London county democratic representatives and sena- tors for the purpose of selecting a candidate for County Commissioner. All were present except Senator Min- er. As told elsewhere A. H. Lamph re of Waterford was made the nominee of the caucus after several, balts. Should Mr. Lamphere get the posit:on the eighteenth or shoestring sena .r- ial distriot will have two members on the board of commissioners, and ihe nineteenth none. Dr. W. C. McLaughlin of this city was one of the candidates and he was beaten by a small majority _chiefly through the failure of the Norwich representatives to support him. On the first ballot it is reported that 'he support of Dr. McLaughlin_ was as follows: Senator Avery, Norwich; representatives Dawley of Voluntown, L’Heaureux of Griswold, Shea of Lis- bon, Latimer of Salem, Burdick and Betting of Preston. J On the second ballot this was ‘n- creased by three, said to be Represen- tatives Chapman of Montville, Pie-son of Lyme and Brown of ‘North Stoning- ton, and made possible by the with- drawal of Manwarring and Smidd The reported failure of the loca' repre- sentatives to support the candidate from their own town has caused much party feeling. Only the democrats were present at this caucus, the republican represen- tatives of the county having met last week and endorsed’ Charles D. Noves the present encumbent for the office.

WALKING WAS TREACHEROUS. Many Pavements Were Polished Glare lice on Tuesday Evening. The snow and sleet of Tuesday, without doing any particular damage resulted in sloppy walks throughout the day and slippery walks in the | evening.

At Mert Swan's in the Lefingwell district 4 above zero was the lowest report for Monday. The weather reports indicate more cold weather during the next few days so that ther is little doubt but that the ice men will be able to har- vest 9-inch ice shortly. OBITUARY. to Mrs. John Hogan.

A. B. hall quite to ifs limit Tuesday even- ing, -p.akn¥ on work accomplished by the socialistic element in Milwaukee. Albert Boardman made a brief address ang introduced the speaker of the evening. When the socialistic agitation first appetred in Milwaukee, said Mr. Sei- del, we did not address gatherings of this size, but the time is coming when the socialist gatherings will far exceed those of tcday in this city, in Milwau- kee, and in all the cities, for there are powers outside the party which are helping us, which are making social- ists every day. There is a force work- ing for socilalism in capital, and even in Wall <treet. Did Not ain Entire Control. The socialis did not gain entire control in Milwhukee, a number of the departments not being in socialist hands. We controled the ojces entail- ing about ome-half of the city’s ex- penditures. The people said that what Milwaukee needed was a business ad- ministration. That is an old chestnut everywhere; you have probably heard it hére. When we went into office in Milwaukee we found that the city had never had a business administration. I do not wish to offend any of you, but I do not belleve that you péople of Norwich have a business administra- tion of the city's affairs Economy and Efficiency. We bezan by reorsanizing our de- partments. This cannot be done at once. The work of perfecting a city government requires constant and con- tinued effort, as there must be a con- tinual advance in methods and systems as there is in other fields of effort. We organized a bureau of economy and efficiency. The first purpose of this was to assist the other departments to the best methods, and processes and the highest efficiency. Your city and your people do nmot know what is the efficiency of its departments. The taxpayers do not know, the voters do not kmow, the city officials do not! know. You have no efficiency stand- | ards. You cannot . measure the effi- ciency of your comstruction work, your paving, your engineering, light- ing, educational and health depar ments. Monthly reports for the public, with itemized accounts of work done, would show the people just what each administration had done. With a sys- tem of reports you can compare the work of the various administrations and see for yourself. Business Man Nect Wanted. We do not necd a business man to run our city, we need to get rid of him. The business men in the city govern- ment are theref or a purpuse. When they get what they want they are through with the affairs of the cit The sooner we get over the cry f business men in city affairs the better off we'll be. A change from one form ! of government to another does not! change the efficiency of the govern- | ment: it may not even change the per- sonnel of the government. The pub- lic depends upon the press for in- formation, and the press is controlled | by big business; it is virtually owned | by its advertisers. The only, way the public can get an accurate report of statements, for figures cnnnot He. city affairs is by psfltlflv‘ kcml!-fl ’ Reducdd Child Death Rcte. . We appointed a child welfare com- mission, and the section in which the | LEAD TO child death rate was found to be thol highest we erected a pavilion for the | work of rescuing the children. At the end of six months the first was | made out, and as a result of the child : rescue work it was found that the | i death rate of children between 1 and 5’ vears had decreasd 54 per cent. in that sction. Soclalists have been accused of being i poor patriots, but if patriotism con- sists in giving the nation a strong and vigorous race, Milwaukee are the strongest of patri- otes. In no city of the country has so much child welfare work been don What Defeated Re-election. The reason that the socialists did not secure a reelection in Milwaukee lay in the fact that 1epublicans and democrats under the name of non-par- tisans joined hands azainst us, and because the manufacturers, the rail- way, Hght and and other public service corporations which were made to live up to the law and to their dontracts were ODDOS- ed to us; because the owners of prop- erty in red light districts, which were closed up, found their rents falling off. But the socialist party in Milwaukee is stronger than ever. It did not win out at the last election, but it polled 30,000 votes, and 1 feel sure that the social- ists will again be in power there in a short time, for the public is displeas- ed with the present administration. It will be a big fight; a fight in which big husiness, and graft and vice are arrayed against decency, and the so- cialists will be on the side of decency. Real Fight Just Begun. But this is only the beginning of the real fight. Our real grievance is over the possession of our working tools, with which we make a living. Under feudalism a man would ask his lord for a piece of land on which to make a living; v under capitalism he for a job. That's the issue— whether we can own our job. Capital has thrown us together, the Irish, the Dutch, the Pole, the Italian, the Greek, nglish; we have worked and ted and srown old and died worl ing, and the big interests have made billions. We have won the right to ask for a job. The big question is, Who will ge twhat we earn? Making Socialists. The interests are making socialists. When a man - teaches socialism in a shop he is fired. He goes to another shop and spreads his principies, and thus the oftener he is fired the more men he interests In socialism. Every decrease in wages, every lengthening of hours, every man discharged, makes more socialists. We're going to stick till we win out. It takes time, and we may drop out.of the battle, but the younger men Will see the completion of the new social structure in which the old will not beg, the women will not weep, in which capital will be no ruler; the realization of the dreams of many who have gone before. What the Christians are praying for, “Thy kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven”—that is what the socialists are working for.

Senator Bankhead of Alabama and Thomas of held the floor throughout opposition to the bill. Senator Thomas, in opposing the bill, made his maiden speech In_ the senate. He declared that the real pur- pose of the bill, was to increase the energy of the Connecticut river and to grant a franchise to a private corpor- ation organized under the laws of ihat state. He said there was monopoly of water power in this country, which was over-capitalized and charged ex- tant prices for its power. Such a monopoly has. been. made possible by the enactment of such leg- islation as this,” said Senator Thomas. Colorado, the day in $5000 VERDICT AGAINST THE NEW HAVEN ROAD.
