Only one new case of paralysis was reported to ‘the health officer Friday and one death occurred from tho dis- ease. Late Thursday night the Nuczyn child on Chapman street, who has been under suspicion for two or three days, developed eymptoms of paralysis in a mild form.

Brown, who represented in part the city of New London in the legislature of 1915, declared early in the session that it was a clear case ¢f “never again” with him, as he had no ambi- tion to continue as a statesman. De- spite this declaration, there was a lit- tle boom started for his renomination and it grew into quite a political bub- ble. When a local newspaper men- tioned him in connection with the re- nomipation, he quickly pricked that bubble, and confirmed his declaration of “never again.” This official state- ment was received with pleasure by the coterie of aspirants for legislative honors, and to the friends of ot!‘nr51 who may be_ induced to become can-! didutes for the nomination, which of course spells election in New London. Not even the most expert democrat political mathematiciar can at | time figure it out that any democrat in New London has a Chinaman's chance of being elected to the legis- lature in' the coming election. It has been generally understood in republioan circles that Snator Lucius Whiton, who represented so ably the senatorial district that is made up of New London and Groton, would not be candidate for renomination, and the senator being selected as one of the presidential electors is taken as con- firmation of that understanding. That | is the reason why Representative| Frank Quinn Cronin is an out-and-out candidate for the senatorship. He made a most excellent record as rep- resentative, attending ev the legislature and ju tee, and guarded well the best inter of his constituency. He will undo edly receive the well-deserved promo- ton. The ealling of Mr. Cronin up higher will leave the fleld open to the two represemtative positions. With the full confidence that any re- publicans nominated will surely be elected,. there is no wonder that there 2 full fleld of candidates, and among number is some mighty good leg- ative (material. Towering above them all, should he consent to make ! entry, is Henry R. Bond, undoubtedly most popular all around ecitizen. He s of the kind that is fully compe to represen: the best interests of h native city, and he has the means and undoubted ability to represent the just as a progressive city that has ived much from the state and ex- pects more ought to be represented. Should he be prevailed upon to accept he could receive tho nomination as ond of the representatives without the slightest cffort on his part. With one of the nomination filled by Mr. Bond then the other nomiMxtion would be open to the. field of actual aspirants for the honor. Among these who have heen men- tijoned by themselyes, or others for the nomiration, are Alderman Herry C. Chappell, P. Leroy Harwood, Philip Z. Hankey, Theodore Bodenwein, Alder- man E. Frank Morgan, and last, but not least comes Thomas E. Donohue, who is perhaps the best working poli- tician in the bunch. r. Donphue received his early political _training under the direct tutelage of Bryan F. Mahan, the greatest politician of them all, Mr. from a democratic slant. When Donohue woke up and saw the politically, he joined ks. He then showed his political hand and vas elected al- derman from the first ward, and has managed to keep in the political and froternal limelight ever since. If it depends upon real political work to se- cure $he plum Mr. Donohue will get in before it touches the ground. He gen- erally gets what he oes after. There does not seem to be any scramble for the nomination on the democratic side just at the present time, but it is a safe bet that thero will he no searcity of candidates as the nomination time draws near. Senator Alton T. Miner has held, political office almost ever since he took up residence in the city, and he is already a re- ceptive'! candidate for the Jieutenant governorship, and“shounld-sthere be a scarcity of candidates for the chlef magistracy ‘of the state he’ might be a candidate for that great honor. Should these chances fade away he is liable to blossom olt as a candidate for the state senatorship; again, or even a representative. So ew ndon democrats can M”aw*wflh; e as- surance that therewill he a‘tandidate for,the,state ticketiffomiNew London, and that the/fenatorship,or fepresenta- tive romlnaflans will not gotabegging.

M“th o;}m Ioctea ns; sesgor he ‘was the ly su g ) m"fl"ofi time on bben_can mrmmmtg and he did not drill with the wrong politi- cal squad. Alderman Thomas F. Gragan, the feariess alderman from the first ward, has been prominently mentioned as a democratic candidate for represente- tive, and he has quite a following. that would help him win the nomination. His interests arc and always have been with New London. He is the foreman cf the F. L. Allen Hook and Ladder company, a general favorite in the fire department, and active in the State Firemen’s association, and if by hook or crook he should happen to be elect-~ ed, if nominated, his friend “Bob” Mc- Gee, who was scnate chairman of the finance committee of 1915 and a house leader in would see to it that Gragan was appointed to a committee of importance by the republican speak- er of the house. Mr. Gragan is a rep- resentative citizen and thoroughly qualified to represent New London in the legislature. Murrey and Gragan would make a strong democratic team, but probably not strong enough to get a peep in on election day. There are ny other available candidatcs on the derpceratic side, but all like Mr, Mur- ray drill in the wrong squad. The court of common council, the same that has bkeen crying retrench- ment and reform, has struck a vein of generosity with the people’s money as end of the present council draws near. The salary of the city clerk, whose only apparent duty is to keep the records of the council and city meet- ings, is raised from $500 to $1,000, quite a good sized raise, and the amount is not begrudged such a competent of- al as is the present incumbent. The only reason given for the raise is that the salary had not been cnanged for forty vears. It might be added thet the dyties have not been materi- aily changed during the same period. it is a very good salary to receive on the side, as the city clerk can engage in any other business which he Sees fit, the office not requiring only a small part of the time. The salary of the city treasurer, which ever since the retirement of the late J. Coleman Williams has been $700 has been raised to $1,060. The treasurer also acts as comptroller and the position requires practically all of his time. Just a word in this connection. J. Coleman Williams had been treasurer for years at the small salary of $300. In appreciation of services the sal- ary was raised to $500. That salary was an inducement for others to seek the offl and J. Coleman Willlams never res d the advanced salary. ‘He was_suc: ded by Thomas W, Will- iams. Political hi may repeat it- self, The fee system to be abolished office of tax collector and he flat salary of $2,400 a These officers will be all amply In fact, with exception of the L'U board of assessors, 00 a year,” they are the only city official who receive all the pay they deserve. in_ihe will receive a vear. paid. The men of the police department, are not only the lowest paid officials on the city pay roll, but are also the lowest paid pollcemen in the state of Connecticut, and they in addition are required to provide themselves with uniforms and equipment, They have asked for an increase in keeping with what is paid other depariments in cities about the size of New London, and they ought to get it. They are on duty longer than any other local of+ ficial and their services are indispen- sable. The policemen made their re- quest of the finance committee weeks ago, in ample time to include a guf- flcient appropriation in the budget and there is no valid reason why their sal- aries should not be increased. It is but a silmple act of justice between erployer and employes. Now that the aldermen have struck a generous vein, it is expected that there will be.some man among them, who will step to the front and centre and’demand that tha policemen get a square deal. One al- derman, who favored the raise in fthe salary of the clerk and the.treasurer, | has remarked that !.f the, policemen | did not want to work ‘for the sent | pay they could quit and getework elso- | Where, The same remark cowd be well] appHed to tho city clerk and e treas-) urer, or any other of ried ob ficers who sit at des! u..tharo many competent: men who 'would - glad to got the offices at the existing salaries, There.is some:public; Mmd‘ for an increase ln the salarles of the| pollcemen, that!would”be in keeping: with the regular g:rr “that prevails throughout-the stat ! petaiin - ‘Workmen in Japan wear. on_ thelr caps.an inscription stating’ thelr busiy ness and mpir employers nqme. ) CASTORIA For Infants aad Children | - In Use For Qver30 Years
