NEW LONDON'S | Contrary to the wishes of the real; democracy of New London and, per- | haps, at ‘the solicitation of Former | Governnor Waller and a few of his alleged democratic followers, Governor Baldwin has reappointed Willlam B, Coit judge of the police court of the lcity of New London. It is true that Mr. Coit has filled thel position for sev~ leral years and has served with satis- |faction to those who are not familiar | with - police court proceedings, but he | | manages to hold court at his personal convenience and does not_consider the inconvenience of the police offiicers | Who are obliged to appear as witness- fes and be deprived of that rest and sleep that is needed after a night's | tour of duty and to be in shape for | the night that is to follow. It is hoped Iy the oMcers and others having busi- ‘m s with the police court that in the future court will- be held not later than nine o'clock in the morning, and | an hour earlier would be more accept- able. It is fair to presume that Governor Baldwin made the appeintment solely | upon the recommendation of leading | | republicans and the democrats afore- id, rather than by personal investi gation. Judge Coit has a physical in- | firmity that unfits him for the place no | matter how well his other qualifica- tions, as, unfortunately, he cannot see sufficiently to distinguish a person two {feet distant, according to his own | Statement. In the police court the | general appearance of the accused, either good or bad, has, as it should, something to do with the decision in some cases, where actual proof is missing; bui in the New London po- lice court a man can say he is a book- keeper or bank clerk when as a matter of fact he may be a stevedore or coal shoveller and the judge would have to take his word for it. But Judge Coit_has been reappointed and he and his friends are happy. | i Should Governor Baldwin ever come | to New London again to seek the votes of democrats as he has in the | past four yvears he will have to devote | iabout all his time in explaining why | he ignored the request of representa- tive democrats to appoint Charles E. Hickey to the judgeship. Mr. Hickey was indorsed by every member of the last general assembly from New Lon- don county, except one, and that en- dorsement with request for the ap- pointment was handed to the governor, who also knew that Mr. Hickey had received the endorsement of the demo- | cratic majority of the judiciary com- | mittee. The only exception in the | New ILondon county delegation was Christopher L. Avery, of Groton, who declared in the house that it was a pleasure for him to vote for Mr. Run- | gee, a republican for the town court of Greenwich. The party flood light was focussed upon the gentleman from ! Groton when the gentleman from Stamford, who spoke of his personal acquaintance and friendship for Mr. | Rungee, declared that the judgeship | was a party matter and that he was elected as a democrat and took great pleasure in voting against the repub- | lican nominee, as a democrat. The governor, probably realizing his mistake, wh too late, appointed | Nathan Belcher, a democrat, to the: position of assistant judge, which was promptly declined, again ignoring -Mr. Hickey, and there are a few who say | it was because his name is Hickey- | After the offer to Mr. Belcher was | turned down, the governor had the nerve to heap coals of fire upon the head of the choice of the democrats for the place by offering the assistant judgeship to Mr. Hickey, which was, of course, declined withoui thanks. It | is now in order for the governor to offer the place to John F. Sullivan who was_candidate before the general as- sembly for the place, but he may pass Sullivan and reappoint the present incumbent, Lewis Crandall, republi- can. Then the police court officiais will all be republicans, just as they have been within the memory of the oldest | regular who is up for frequent sen- tence In the police court. Suppose Governor Baldwin should lana the nomination for United States senator. The democrats of New London would- o't do a thing to him! Speaking of United States senator reminds that, though two years or so from election time, it is known that Senator Brandegee is in training for the renomination and that his friend Ebenezer Hill is preparing for the con- test, and perhaps there is a dark horse or iwu. Senator Brandegee though among the youngest of the members of | the upper house, was, under the Taft rule, among the most influential and was called often to preside when mat- ters of more than ordinary importance | were under consideration. IHe is nov just getting into the swing of senatorial | work, which can be acquired only by experience, and will grow &ironger | with his party as time goes on. Were ' the convention to be held today there 1s no doubt but the senator f New London would get the nomination, but there’s no tglling what mey ceme up between now gnd convention time. ryan Mahan Congressman Bryan F, is |ing to ald Father Crowley CITY JUDGESHIP Democrats Upset Because Governor Placed Merit Before Partisanship—Opposition to Naming New Organization | St. John’s Club—Condition of Certain Streets Bad. . known to be a receptive candidate fo the senatorship on the democratic side.

That name was given to the present | orgunization in honor of the old St. in’s church with which the society nothing in common with the existing parishes.

The | original plan was for each of the so- cleties to maintain their present iden- tity and this they all propose to do, except the St. John's, judging from the action of the meeting referred to. Catholic ‘club, St. John’s club, or no club, there will still be in New London the Star of the Sea Total Abstinence society, Divisions 1 and 2, Ancient Knights of Columbus, and other es- tablished Catholic organizations, and membership of the new club should number largely the members of other kindred organizations.

Have you taken note of the enthu- state- | ment that he may not return?—Mil- waukee Sentinel, Electrifying water that is used in would not get half a dozen votes from | irrigating plants has brought promis- the entire demoeratic membership. Governor Baldwin no - doubt made many friends among the members of the general assembly but they were not of the democratic persuasion. The initial steps havu been taken for the foundation of a Catholic club in New London, supposedly to be in- dependent from any Catholic organ- ization now in existence, but which would naturally and of necessity be composed of members of the existing | societies and Catholics who are not | aftillated with any organization. It is planned to erect a ciub house and so arrange it that all Catholic societies could have rooms assigned them and the rentals applied to the general ex- penses of the club. Independent of societies, the male members of St Mary’s Star of the Sea and St. J eph parishes are interested in the fo mation of this new club and are wili- | in his ef- fort to bring the project to a success- ful issue, but it is perhaps well to em- ploy just a little of the Davy Crockett tactics in the preliminary work, for it was Davy who said something of be- ing sure you are I i | ahead. There was a preliminary meeting during _the present week at which there was not a very large attendance | and the matter of a name for the pro- posed new club was considered, and, in fac, a vote was taken. large numbér of members of the St. John's Literary society, the oldest Catholic | organization in’ the city were present, and by a small majority the name Si John's club was favored. It was ex- plained that the old St. John ty would change its constitution and by- laws to meet the requirements of the new club, and would form the nucleus for the new club; or in fact the new St. John's club would be in fact the rejuvenated St, John's Literary asso- ciation, with of course the present an- clent and honorable society in control.
