By their recent caucus the republi- cans of Norwich placed in nomination the same two men who were elected two years ago represent the town in the general assembly. They werc chosen without contest and it is well known to their constituents what their record was in the last session of the state legislature. They are alive to the welfare and interest of Norwich. They stand not for any one class but for all. They have gained the exper- ience which is bound to make them more valuable in the same positions when the session of 1917 opens, and t is no question but what the nfidence that they merit will be re- flected in the vote on November sev- ALB 3G L A PH H action is in keeping with that h was taken by the delegates of the nineteenth senatorial district, who d the wearer of the senatorial h renomination in recognition services in the upper house and der the belief that one good term deserves another. The success of Messrs. Barnes, Bai- d Henderson at the polls means that the people of this vicinity can rely upon the their interests properly cared for and that they will contribute their part to the upholding of the same kind of a state administration as has been maintained during the past two years by Gov- ernor Holcomb. The town, the di: trict and the state need just such se vice at Hartford. CONFIDENCE IN HUGHES. There numerous reasons why some of the prominent independents throughout the country are confident that Charles Hughes will win the clection in November. acts of the There are the administration which Mr. Wilson has headed during the past three and a half years which weigh heavily against the success of tha president, and there is the record of Charles E. Hughes in matters con- cerning legislation backed up by his present stand upon the issues of the cam n and the policies of the re- pub! ¢ which swings the bal- v in his favor. One of the strong independent po- ical leaders in Pennsylvania, Lewis candidate for governor on the fusion ticket some years ago, is in favor of Mr. Hughes' elec- nd he finds sentiment running that same way. He says: “Not omly those of the same political faith as Mr. Hughes will vote for him but many who have heretofore been ar- dent admirers of President Wilson will no longer support him hecause of his lack of convictions and his chang- ing opinions upon vital questions that confront the nation. The inefficiency of the nation’s chief executive and a supine congress has never been equal- ed. Repeated requests and even de- mands have been made of the demo- cratic congress for the revision of the Underwood tariff schedule, but very request bas been rejected. Upon this issue alone in this section of the state the progressive tariff democrats who supported Mr. Wilson in the last campaign will give their support to Charles E. Hughes.” Every day there are similar reports which show that the thoughtful voters are firmly entrenched behind the re- publican nominee. GREECE WATCHING RUMANIA. Further ground for resisting the ef- forts of the entente to get Greece into the war®is furnished by the position of Rumania at the present time. Just s0 long as the Teutonic forces can continue to drive back the army of King Ferdinand there is reason for King Constantine and his supporters to maintain that a similar fate awaits Greece the minute it decides to take sides. . Tha Geglk king, according to Al an Athens dispatch, even looks upon Rumania as doomed already. Such an attitude is of course in keeping with the spirit which he has manifested right along. He is ready to make cap- ital of each and every instance where Rumania meets with reverses, and ‘to point out that as soon as Rumania falls, which he predicts will be within two weeks, those same Teutonic forces could and would be directed to the crushing of Greece in a similar man- ner. This is of course all based upon the showing which Rumania has been making and the fact that the allles have been dilatory in going to its as- sistance. It is also the result of tha delayed action in entering the war one state at a, time. Constantine has ap- parently been waiting to see what Rumania was going to do. He thinks that he sees the solution already even before it has been demonstrated what the allies are doing or going to do to offset the Teutonic succssses. Con- stantine knows the fate of Serbia but he apparently doesn't stop to think how much his failure to uphold the treaty between the two nations has contributed thereto, or how much the entrance of Greece Into the war some time ago would have prevented the present situation in Rumania. REPUBLICAN SUCCESS SARY. That there are large prospects for this country following the war cannot be denied, if there was a disposition to do so, but it must be remembered that it will also be a period of read- justment® and that the foreign flelds into which this country has gone be- cause others were forced to give up their foreign trade because of the war, will become an ‘open field for all. That the nations of Europe will go after the trade which they have lost is equally certain. They are already making provisions for just such a purpose and it is the opinion of a prominent South American trader that they will regain what they have lost because they have the facilities for handling it and they are ready and willing to give South America what it wants and are not limiting it to what it is thought it should have. They are likewise simply waiting the time when they can pour their production into this country under the democratic free trade policies. No one recognizes the advantages of this field more than Canada. Permitted to send across the border its production which is simflar to that in this country it as profited greatly in the past few years and it will continue to do so with the tariff walls down to the em- barrassment of industry and labor in this country. Thus this country has reason to look to the placing of its domestic production, industrial —and agricultural, on a firm basis, and not close its eyes entirely to home condi- tions while developing foreign trade. This is one of the reasons why the success of the republicans is so im- portant in the coming election. PUT AN END TO BLEASE. There are instances now and then when certain politicians who think they cannot be beaten, or ought not to be, are unwilling to accept the verdict of their party when such a demon- stration really occurs and set out to run as independents or to organize a new party. It is this latter move which shas been resorted to by Cole Blease of South Carolina, one time governor of that commonwealth whose conduct of the office gave the state an_unenviable reputation. Blease had ambitions for the United States senate but he was beaten. He then desired to return to the govern- orship but the nomination was denied him by the democratic party of the and now because of down a convention h called to start a party of his NECES- been ow This should be welcomed by the peo- ple of South Carolina. That is a dem- ocratic state and the nomination by that party means election. The demo- crats have denied that to Blease once and they possess the strength to do it again and they will doubtless welcome the political contest which will sive them the chance to so completely snow him under t®at his political ambitions will be disposed of forever. His very qntry into the campaign should be sufficient reason for the democratic party not only to wage an unusually strong campaign but for the sake of Zood government it should attract to it the support of the voters of the state regardless of party affiliation, and those who know what Bleaseism is will take joy in lending a hand to prevent any more of it. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the cormer says: It doesn’t require a carpenter to nail a campaign lie. From the reply of Mr. Hughes to the Louisville heckler, it is apparent that he would not have resorted to the watchful waiting policy. Over in Europe they haven’t stopped talking about who started the war. It is a wonder the kaiser doesn’t get on s ear over this continual fault find- The mad king of Bavaria is dead and he could have truthfully said with. credit that he played no part what- ever in the worst trouble Europe ever saw. The president says there is only one choice as against peace and that is war, but he apparently doesn’t distin- guish between peace at any price and peace with honor. Bill Carrigan of the Red Sox is to give up baseball for politics. After his recent success one might suppose that he would consider baseball the more certain of the two games. When President Wilson said “Talk- ing through the hat ought to be a dead industry,” is it possible’ that he was thinking of Norman Hapgood and the harm which he did to his cause? Now that a hurricane has damaged the Danish West Indles from one to two million dollars, will Uncle Sam be able if the deal eventually goes through to, get a rebate on good which cannot be dellvered? It is probable as claimed that most of those 409,000 railroad men who benefit by the increased wage legisla- tion are for Wilson, but how about the 800,000 others who want to know why they were overlogked ? Before the facts are all determined s to whether,the U-58 observed al! the promises Germany made, the claim of Captain Smith of the Ste- phano that the only warning shot that he received smashed in his bow will have to be fully. investigated. .

Her eyebrows said that while a suit under $80 was practically an impossibility, not being demanded by our hest peo- ple this year, still, having to work for her living because father was unfor- tupate and could not support her in the style to which she was accustom- ed, she would see what she could rout out. “She stopped to converse a while with the gentlemanly manazer and lcieurely rearranged her hair before returning with two suits across her arm. Between exchangés of remarks with the blond saleswoman near by about' her new hairdresser, she spread out the suits before me and then sud- denly remembered my existence and glanced at me. “This. she said of the black suit, 4s a very neat little suit for anyone who does not care for an expensive garment.

While th te claimed she was a naval auxil It looks now as though the most important part of her return cargo was the charts and knowledge of the lanes of commerce in this country, and that her mental cargo as well as her material was for the promotion of the manufacture of munitions of war on the U-boat undersea campaign in American waters. The Deutschland connected up with every Dutch propagancist and spy in this' country and doubtless brought directions to the leaders for future ac- tion as well as compliments for past criminal achievements; and as an arm of the German navy was an important factor for the new campalgn of the U-undersea boats upon this side of the Atlantic.

Then we hear of imitators who get into the limelight by providing themselves with artificial Warts, a squint, or a game leg. The Anglo-Sax- on swelled head in America is an ar- ticle of this kind. This manufactured ivory differs from all other imitations in the perfections of its likeness to the original. It is very sensitive, al- most the same as any original bone, and, it sometimes gives forth sounds resembling London accent. The owner of this ivory bone affects the London style and taste in all things, and of course, this increases the swelling of this artifical noddle. As a working supposition we may assume that my Lord Astor, is the ultimate apothesis of the artificial ssvelled head of Anglo- Saxonism.

Then she said she was sorry, but tney really did not carry any cheap garments and returned to her conversation about her hasrdresser. So I slunk out, exactly a foot and a half high, and just coming up for breath! “Next I ran on to a fluffy little per- son who rested her hand affectionately upon my-shoulder and called me dearie. She said she had just the thing and for exactly $50. She said that she was crazy about that model herself and was hoping they'd have it in her size.Then she -brought out a suit that was shirred where it was not plaited and plaited where thero were no tucks or buttons or locps. It was the sort of a suit that would keep an insane patient quiet for hours merely counting up the different attractions hung upen it like a Christmas tree. “‘There!’ she said. ‘Wasn't that stunning? Had I ever seen anything handsomer?’ “T have a tender heart and I hated to crash the fluffy little person in spite of the ‘dearie.’” So I cautiously said that 1 really wanted something Simpler and less noticeable, and I'd really prefer it without the alley-cat-seal trifhmink with *which everything seemed to be bedecked. You would have thought she had grown that seal trimming in aer own back yard, she looked so in- jured. She said that all the girls in the department considered fthat fur trimming perfectly swell and were all going to have it on their suits. So I parted from her and sought another store. I think that the tall, svelte creature who waited on me here must have re- cently become engaged or something, because when I repeated my ditty about a blue or brown suit under $50 she floated out with a motor coat hung over her shapely shoulders which she insisted was a perfect dream for 3110, with real raccoon bandings. When I got her down to earth she found me a dark brown suit, the coat of which I liked so well that I phoned my husband to come over and look at it. ‘I waited an hour for him, and when he came he liked it, too, and then I remembered that I had not tried on the skirt. When that skirt and I be- came acquainted everything was off. It was a perfectly dreadful ekirt and 1 had hysterics, because my hop W Dbeen raised and then dropped with a thud. Also it was getting late and I knew that I had the whole sickening performance to go through with an- other day.

POLITICAL On Our Own Shores. i “He has kept us out of war ed Mr. Wilson’s defenders, has not kept war out of the United States. Mexican bandits have jong exercised he new freedom” up and down and across the border, and Sunday saw a Prussian submarine resorting to sim- lilar license near our cgasts. Off tucket the Prussian submarine U sank six vessels, one a liner with many Americans among its passengers, and held up the American steamer Kan- san pending the establishment of its identity. The submarine took a posi- tion directly in the steamer lanes where it could command ail the ship- ping bound for New York or bound east from that port. No network of niceties of international law can ob- scure these three dangerous and dis- graceful facts: 1. Taking its cue from the Mexican bandits an old-world power today is conducting its warfare at cur own door in complete contempt of any inclina- tion or capacity of the United States to make more than a paper protest against the impudent procedure of its nation. 2. An American ship has been held up close to our shores, an act that would be justifiable only in the case of a blockade, and the blockading of a neutral port by a belligerent no one denies would be an act of war. 3. The attack of the Prussian sub- marine is in distinct defiance of num- erous noi/s sent by Mr. Wilson—Bos- ton Evening Transcript.

I have just been able to approach the immediate surroundirgs of Chaulnes writes a correspondent on the western front. The fight has just finished and the ground still ars the bloody marks of German de- feat.. 1 have seen there an unforgottable sight of horror. I shall ever remem- ber the nighmarc impression of this d where death apeared under such hideous aspects. At Soyecourt and Le Pressoir the horizon was darkened by the smoke of big shells bursting and all around me I could see only a burnt, torn and devastated landscape. The German trenches had been completely de- stroyed: The battlefield was thick with holes, 3, 5 even 10 yards deep. The noise of guns was still audible at a distance. Now and then a ehell, bursting in the immediate neighbor- hcod, made me set my teeth convul- sively. Soon the twilight brought some calm to the sinister field, but in the last rays of the sun horrible mounds of corpses, twisted in supreme con- vulsions, were discernible. Through that dreadful humane veg- otation a few iights apeared and dis- appeared from time to time. They were carried by ambulance assistants, searching for some of the few wound- ed survivors among this infinity of dead- Now and then a groan came to my ears, seeming like a deep com- plaining voice of this blood-soaked land. = My guide took mé to the Ablaincourt Road near a small valley. From here the sight was still more terrible, everything beins torn to pieces. There a farm had been, “in which the Ger- mans had intrenched themselves; at least so I was told, for nothing re- mained to prove the existence of the farm or the Germans. This devastation was the work of one of the tanks. This new and ter- rible death machine had rushed upon the farm, passing the German senti- nels, who fired at it, but could hardly scratch its iron hide! Tt passed quick- 1y on, crashing over the farm, crunch- ng and dislocating everything. Walls collapsed, slates of the roofs were splintered and scattered, the ground was deeply furrowed and trees were uprooted. As to the Ciermans, they were com- pletely torn to pieces. All that re- mained disappeared under the mon- strous wheels of the motorcar, which leveled the ground, leaving nothing but a waste, scarred with red splotch- es from ch a leg or an arm emerges here and there, convulsed in a spasm of agony.

It is a success because the men and women interested in the work are wrapped heart and soul in the enterprise and do not depend solely on what they can get out of it.

Bristol Press. An_ effort is being made to have Thanksgiving day placed a week earlier in the calendar. making the day come, this year, on Sov. 23 instead of Nov. 30. The reason assigned is purely commercial. Organizations which are back of the movement explain that they want to give the public another week for its Christmas shopping. eople will not start buying for hristmas until after Thankssiving. With that day coming earlier, the pub- lic, it is argued, would buy more Christmas goods. With all due respect for this argument, it must be regarded as a rather cold-blooded proposition. No American festival has less to do with the spirit of commercialism than Thanksgiving day. It is, In fact, a religious celebration. It is the one day on which all Americans, regad- less of their creed or race, can unite = “he religious sentiment of gratitude t= God for His blessings. It is the tima-honored custom of Americans to celeorate it on the last Thursday of November.
