New London Sees Republican Majority . (Spectal to The Builetin) New London, Nov. 1—Unless all political signs fall New London can be depended upon to do its full share i the increase of the majority of ev- ery candidate on the republican ticket. Not a majority of 103 as in the vote for mayor at the recent electron, but an old-time majority of from 400 to ! 600, and even more for Sidmey A. | Brown, the candidate for city emeriff, ‘who will recetve every republican vote ,and perhaps 300 democratic votes, just for good measure and friendship sake. He always does receive a Mattering [vote in the county, and the present indications are that he ,will receive | the largest vote ever, and he is wor- | thy every vote cast for him, as he has proven his eficiency and fitness for he office beyond question. Sheriff | Brown is but one of the several can- didates on the ticket that is worthy fthe consideration of every voter, yet | there is less partisanship in that office i - [TCHING BURNING PIMPLES ON FACE Large, Red and Very Hard, In Blotches. Lost Sleep, Face Was Disfigured. HEALED BY CUTICURA SOAP AND OINTMENT “By using perfumed soaps, my face ‘was badly affected with pimples. The ‘pimples were large and red and very hard, and they. festered very much, They were in blotches and itched and burned all the time so severely that I irritated my face by scratching. I lost many nights' sleep, and my face was disfigured. The trouble lasted for two months. “Then I used Cuticura Soep and Ointment, and I used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment with two cakes of Cuticura Soap when I was healed.” (Signed) Miss Mary Struthers, 1 Cross St., Beachmont, Mass., July 28, 1917.

GEORGE TOURTELLOT | Musical Director at Davis Theatre than some of the others. That, in part, is a reason why a very mrge vote is predicted for him. Democratic Nomineo Spellacy who wants to succeed Marcus Holcombd as governor of Connecticut has selected New London as, a centre for nis po- litical battle, put even his closest po- litical friends_do. not believe that he will keep pace with the rest’ of the ticket in thig city. He has maae sev- eral visits here, been in consultation with democratic leaders and democrats of the rank and file, has been seen and heard here in public, has been extensively advertised for weeks in one of the local newspapers, and made big bids for the vote and all that sort of thing, but it is quite probable that he will not receive a single vote that rightfully belongs to Uncle Marcus. The governor has eafned the distinc- tion of being Connecticut’s Thira War Governor, and by reason of the war conditions, if for no other, the people, regardless of politics, want his services for a third term. It is not a ‘good time to change governors when the Connecticut boys, with others, are get- ting into shape to make a trip across the Rhine. Congressman Richard P. Freeman is looking for a smashing big vote n his native city, and he will probably get the republican vote to a man. If he does this he will do well, as it carries with it a substanttal majofity over his opponent and will materially nelp swell the majority in the district, which is strongly Tepublican. It was a lucky political day for Richard P. when he opened his eyes and fell into line in the republican party. It is vell that ne discovered the error of way while a youthful politician joined the party of purity, prin- iple that gives recognition to the de- serving men of ability whose inclin tion tends towards professional poli- tics. Had he remained in the ranks of the unterrified and unwashed dem- ceracy his true worth would probably never have been recognized. Like Governor Marcus Holcomb, once .'a democrat, he tired of drillins with the awkward squad and joined the regu- lars and marched to victory and prom. inence P.

Vote for SIDNEY A. BROWN Candidate for Sheriff of New London County “The qualities which the office demands he possesses in a high degree, and the county may be sure, if he is elected, that it will be administered with zeal and fidelity.” |4 Wonderful Wall, by Terself. The M veyor e been cugagzed the fow making a_cha in i the lay out for the so. Military way, from Norwich to the sub- | mont, state Jublican candidate for the legislature, and John Pendleton, a salesman and active in advancing the interest of New London, a real live wire, 1s his ussociate on fhe ticket. With such a strong ticket; as the republicans' pres- <nt, there is justification in predicting an old-time republican victory in New London next Tuesday. But, after all, this big victory cannot be achieved unless the local republican machine is in better working order than at the city election. Some of the wards were lost to the republicans simply through lack of effort and organization. In at least one ward the republican work- ers, ‘the men of the organizanon who are expected to get out the repubii- can vote, simply did nothing ana per- mitted the democrats to get tne per- simmons. ~ The republican inactivity in that.ward meant the clection of an aiderman and the defeat of tWe re- publican nominee forsassessor. With representative candidates on the tick- ct to be balloted for on next Tuesday there is incentive for every republi- can to get out and do his bit towards party success. The court of common council will meet Monday night and, after the tire- some but necessary reading of the minutes of the previous meeting, there is likely to be doines that will give every member opportunity to demon- strate his forensic ability. It will be the real opening of the new adminis- tration and the committee reports ought to be of more than ordinary in- terest as most of the new committees are armed with that traditional new broom that sweeps so clean and that has been so clumsily wielded by the preceding administration. It was ever thus and ever thus 'twill be. It is ex- pected that the police muddle of the former mayor and his associates will be revived and decisive action taken to have Police Lieutenant Jeffers to 50 reluctantly to the retired list as a reward for a lifetime of faithful ser- vice. Mayor Morgan has in mind a police clean-up, and, right pr wrong, it will be carried to a finish. With Lieutenant Jeffers retired, the plan is ‘to advance Serzeani Beebe {o the office of lieutenant for a month and then retire the faithful officer as lieutenant. ~After this plan is carrled to completion will come the selection of a permanent lieytenant, with Ser- geants James C. Sullivan, James Gaff- ney and Frank Howard in line of pro- motion. All these were jumped when Captain Pinney was appointed, and i would not be much of a surprise if th: dose were repeated, and some other member of the force, or oné from the ontside, be handed the office of iieu- tenant which now carries with it ary of $125 a month. Either Sullivan or Gafirey woull i1, the bill bly as each have | had years of experienc2 of police work | and possess all the intelligence nec- essary for the office, either benz qual- | ffied to head the police department, night during their hour of duty at_ any other period. The captain could go on vacation and the depart- ment would not be crippled during the | nce no matter what craergency | might arise. It is understood, also, that some members of the force do not look good to the mayor and that! changes are to be made, either in the nel of the department or by the g of officers from important beats to patrol duty on th2 outskirts. | LEFINGWELL Sunday morningsservices at 11 a. m., communion at 12.15.
