Donovan, Daniel D. Buckley, Mrs. Thomas E. Hickey, Mrs. Thomas F. Foran.

LEDYARD MAN WILL SERVE STATE AGAIN William 1. Allyn Has Served Several Terms in the Legislature. The legislature of 1917 will be re- pudlican in its political makeup, as everybody knows, or ought to know. Numerically the division of parties will be about as in the last session, though the democrats hava gained, es. pecially in the senate, where they have cut the republican majority down by ten, says the Hartford Times. In 1915 there were 30 republicans and five democrats. | In the incoming legisla- ture the republicans will have 26 seats and the democrats 10. In the house the republicans will have 196 seats as before, and the democrats 62, a gain for the latter of the chaifs oc- cupied during the last session by a progressive party representative and an independent. Several of the old faces will be missed, but there are several which will be seen as of yore, weeathed aréund a medium sized brown cigar, the fat black weed having been sur- rendered by the modern legislator of fact to the legislator of cartoon and fiction. Yes, there will be plenty of old-timers there to dream dreams while the young men see visions, and to tap the young men on the should- ers when the vislons get so flamboy- ant as to interfere with the triedl the- ories of the old-timers as to how leg- islatures should be run for the best interests of “all concerned.” And there will be plenty of new blood to-remind the old fellows that what was done ten years ago was not of necessity the last” word in statecraft. Perhaps a few of the young men will be strong enough to “show” the old-timers, but most of them may as well make up their- minds to be “sat on” for a while. s Arthur W. Marsden, judge of pro- bate, who will sit for Madison, was formerly in the semate. Marsden is credited politically with carrving_the vote of Madison in his pecket. This will be his fourth legislative term. He ‘was in the house in 1909 and 1913 and in the senate in 1911. There is a probability that the lead- er of the senate will be George W. Klett of New Britain, who, by virtue of his experience and his being a re- publican leader, may be chairman of the judiciary committee. He was a member of the last senate. Another familiar face will be that of William I Allyn of Ledpard, who has served both in the senate and in the house and was clerk of the com: mittee on appropriations in His-last term as representative. He was in the house in 1905. 1907 and 191 the senate in 1909, and a member of the constitutional conventio ‘Another of the “old timers’ Culver of Seymour. This wi fourth term in the house, his previous terms being 1901, 1907 and 1909. George H. Bradford, a_member of the senate in 19¢9 and of the house in 1903, will represent Montvill ein the house next sossion. Mr. Pradford is mentioned as possible choice for coun- ty commissioner for New Londen coun- Martin Gorman, whé will be one of Danbury’s represedtatives again, is an old and seasoned legislator, who had a great deal to do with naving the state nermal school built in his home town, when he was in the house of represen atives at previous sessions. His prior terms were 1983 and 1911, One of the most forceful personali- ties and best orators on the democratic side is Howard Taylor, the other Dan- bury representative. He was author of the clvil service bill which was re- jected at the last sescion. He served in the houss 34 years ago and again in 1913. . Samuel C. Shaw of Redding, who opposed the amendment to the eivil service law In the last session. will be his_own successor. e practices law in_New York. Harry Back of Killingly, a republi- can politician of statewide reputation, represented Union in the house in 1897 and was labor commissioner from 1899 to 1905. He is a member of the state central committee, Samuel Russell of Middletown is & prominent manufacturer and has at- tracted attention in politics to a great extent by his fight against George L. Allen, one of the republican leaders in Middletown. He was In the house in 1911 and ‘1916. . - C. Denison Talcott, senator in 195, will be in the house of representatives in the next session from Vernon. Mr. Talcott had the reputation of making the wittiest speeches made in the sen- ate dbring the session of 1915. Theodore G. Case, who will appear in the house for Granby, is @ brdther of Judge William S, Casé of the superfor court and son of the late Wiliam C. Case, a leading lawyer of Hartford county. P. B. O'Sullivan of Derby, one of the best known democratic leaders in the tite and’ secretary of the democrati state central committee, will represeni the Seventeenth senatorial district. E. J, B, Soutnworth, senior repre. sentative from Saybrook, was a mem- ber of the house jn 1852 Among the old faces that will be seen In the new assembly will be those of some men who are so well known that little necd be said about taem., For instance, Col. William H. Hall of Willington, elected to the senate in her | the Thirty-fifth district, is the nestor of the Connecticut goneral assembly, having served more terms than any other state legislator. Since 1393, when he first went to the house. he has served in the lowsr hody seven times, and this will be 4is third term in the senate. . Then_there is John Hurley of Water- bury. John's ruddy and rounded coun- tenance has hbeamed upon thc senate for many a year, barring an occasional season when luck went :gainst him in his district, in which he is the last word, except when: tne forces of his enemies combine against him—and even then the Fifth ward democrati organization usually carries the day. s s A S riaze BS_¥ Bartlett port n of 4 e by | ford, anece the. 3 oM Rev, “Joseph ' Mrs. Afbert ‘Holt of.

FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF REPUBLIC OF CHINA Celebrated With Patriotlc Exercises In All Sections of the Country. Peking, Nov. 21.—China celebrated the fifth anniversary of the establish- ment of the republic with patriotic exercises in practically all sections of the country. Peking was the scene of one of the most brilliant military re- views ever held in China. The capi- tal city fas gorgeously decorated with the five-barred flags of the republic, and the great arches of brilliant colors were erccted all along the ten-mile route from the Forbidden City, to the Nanyuan parade ground, where thirty thousand troops passed in review b fore President Li Yuan-hung. Great changes have come over the Chinese republic since the fourth an- niversary of its establfshment. Yuan Shi-kai was in the throes of the mo- rchial movement last year, and was compelled to abandon the annual re- view of troops in the capital which had previously been held on the anni- versary of the republic’s birth. Democracy of the most pronounced type marked this year's celebration. The occasion was characteristie of the spirit which has dominated Chinese affajrs since Li Yuan-hung became the president. Imperialism was thoroughly in the background. It was Yuan Shi-kal's practice to review the troops from a balgeny high up on the immense watch towgt which surrounds the main entrance to the Forbidden City. But Li Yuan-hung rode boldly outside the Forbidden City to the great drill ground south of Pe- king, where he mounted a horse and, accompanied by his staff, made a com- plete round of the military forces which were drawn up in a great hol- low square. He then took his posi- tion on a low reviewing stand and stood practically unattended while the thousands of infantrymen, cavalry- men and artillerymen passed in review Great interest centered about the re- view, as there had been rumors that certain _disgruntled military leaders might inspire an attempt upon the president, and endeavor to replace the present government with a military dictatorship. The president made light of the reports and demonstrated bi hold upon the Chinese people by ap pearing as had been arranged before the evil rumors came into cireulation. This action was déne much to strengthen the Chinese republic and Li Yuan-hung’s leadership. It was widely advertised in the newspapers that the troops which passed in review were chiefly northern soldiers. The loyalty of this force of thirty thous- and magnificently drilled soldiers was a warning to disgruntled leaders in central and south China that Li Yuan-hung and his government have actual physical strength with which to_resist any onslaught upon Peking. Li Yuan-ung wore the gorgeous dress uniform of a Chinese general. His long coat and trousers were light grey-blue, of European cut, heavily trimmed Wwith gold, and his breast was covered with a score of medals and decorations bestowed upon the leader who _was an obscure brigadier-general in Wuchang five vears ago. His hel- met was surmounted by a flowing white plume. ‘When the Chinese president mounted his horse and dashed across the re- viewing fleld, the hundreds of foreign- ers invited to. attend the review were much dmpressed by his active figure and the ease with which he rode. He is still the same active military lead- er who practially initiated at Wuchang the revoluton which undid the Man- chu regime and made it possible for him to become vice president of the new republic At the conclusion of the review, bi- planes and monoplanes of the Chi- nese aerial corps flew over the re- viewine grounds, while President Li Yuan-hung stood watching the flights. Scores of photographers. and moving picture men were permitted to. photo- graph the president. He showed mo uneasiness' nor fear of any assault. His bodv guard did not accompany him to the reviewing stand and ap- parently there was no effort to prevent assassins from attacking Rim, had they wished to do so. 3 The Chinese vress is unanimons in its praise of Li Yuan-hung's defiance of the critics of the present adminis- tration. Newspapers in - the canital and other prominent cities of China say the president did much to silence the critics of his cabinet by his fear- Jess particivation in the celebraton ¢t ~ary of. the founding the republie. 1 South Manchester—Rev.
