Not every county has tbe trouble which iz betnz experienced New Haven delegation in ar- riving at a decision, but there is fre- quently just as much of a farce pre- sented in other counties under the present method of naming those offi- cials, Ta: m: was but recently decided that it etter that the people should ke their own selection of United States senators, and as the resuit they | are now chosen by the direct vote of | that is, Only I don't see why you| the people instead of by the legislative | pick on me and think he's so wonder-| method under which too little atten- fu}w - & B | tion was often a i s hy, wasn picking on vyou,} o A e Sammy protested his mother sweet- of the people. If it is advisable that United Stafes senators should be se- iected directly by vote of the people it is equally desirable that the same course should be followed when it comes o naming the county officials. For weeks the members of the leg- islature from New Haven county have been standing in a deadlock over the third member of the county board. Tt is a ridiculous situation, the result of the comtrol which the political | game has over those offices.
