New London's Ferry Trouble Seff Made (Speefal to The Bulletin.) New London, Sept. 3.—If New Lon- don has its way. and it generally tries 10 in matters leislative, the special ses- sion of the legislature called for the 14th inst, by Governor Holcomb, to fix up the election laws so that qualified wo- men may will not be confined to that special and important business. The city authori- ties, through the ferry commission, are laying plans to lug the Groton-New Lon- don ferry business in for action. The city has its nose, so to speak, up against A grindstone of its own making and is now crying for help. It was merely a matter of spite between individuals, tak- en up by the then mayor of the eity, that caused the city meeting to vete to take over the ferry inte municipal man- agement. There was not a man in that big meeting but had full knowledge that the old railroad bridge was to be convert- ed into a state highway, and kney it would mean a big depreciation of the ferry business, still, after listening to advocates of municipal management and the almost positive assurance that there would be no expense in entering the ferry business, except the first cost of $42,000 for the purchase of the equip- ment of the Thames Ferry company, and after that it would be all profit, easy money, velvet for the city, the electors voted the appropriation and favored mu- nicipal management, bridge or no bridge. It was practically given out that the alleged big returns of the ferry com- pany ought to go into the city treasury nstead of that of the ferry company, and that the city did not stand 1o lise under any cireumstances. The lease of the Thames Ferry compaiy was not re- newed. The taxpayers of New London know the rest. The aetion was a mu- nicipal blunder, and the worst is yet te come. The promoters of munieipal manage- ment of the ferry, the men whe were peeved at the men connected with the Thames Ferry company, the men op- posed to renewal of the lease at a re- duced rental, in view of the eoming of the bridge highway, are now humbly ask- ing #= legislative relief. If business other than that for which the special session is called is permitted, it is a safe bet that New London will seek re- lef from its present losing proposition in the ferry business. Just exactly the form of relief ie to the deponent un- known. The city may have the nerve to ask the state to take over the ferry ness and relleve the city of the imposed burden. It is quite prob- that the city will ask for authority increase the fery rates which were fixed several years ago by legislative ac- tion. To this proposition there will he strong opposition from Greton. By the way Groton was barred from participaticn In the ferry franchise and now New Lon- don may be inclined to force that town Into partnership in the ferry business. to It the bus eas of the special session Is done in mccordance with the rules of the legislature, all business presented must be referred to a committee, given public hearing and then reported baek o the house where the measure originat- s, tiwh recommendation ®f passage or refect Therefore it is plain that if bus alection laws is admitted, of the special session will not be finished n & day, nor a week, should the regular ne and additional business the Erw-«'.nl session would con- ast a month. preva r session, There were two fires, two hold-ups, twe| most in all men shot Jond this week, besides a bunch of ings, and yet the peo- get reports of the occur- the evening of the next day, morning newspaper in the present time, and no circulation here that car- London news, It hardly ol that a city the size of on with a regular population 6,000 does not support a ewspaper.

But, if the proper u rt support had been given the morn- ing n aper the matter of news print mig! e caused nconvenience but probably not suspension. The manage- ment of The Telegraph said the suspen- sion was temporary, and would resume when conditions changed. That is all right and the return of The Tel ould be wi But ia the n must the people of New London be com- pelled to walt to read of happenings ot e night before the night after?

Over Mystic way, It is matter worthy the consideration of the Chamber of Commerce. The re- sumption of The Telegraph would be the best bit of news in many a Hay, It is of more real benefit to the town than ‘the average manufacturing industry, and ought to receive public encouragement and support. There is actual need for the morning newspaper. The people want the news, all the news, and while it is news, and the morning newspaper that furnished it is entitled to encourage- ment and substantial support. There were no comtests in the o es of democracy, and in some of the wards there were barely democrats enough to fill the dglegation to the -town convention, there to nominate delegates to the seyeral conventions to be held in the mear future. There was evident lack of leadership at that particular nomina- tion time which is interpreted to mean that the faction in the saddle had no mules to drive, It so hadpenel, hcwever, that in each ward the predominant factor held the driving rein, yet showed a spir- it of magnanimity in splitting up the del- egeates, but holding to the majority. The town convention that followed the cau- cus was no cut-and-dried affair. KFach ward was represented on the commrittee to sghmit lists of names for delegates to the state, the congressional, the sena- torial and probate conventions. The committee had no prepared lists handed in for consideration, or anything of that kind, but the selection was left entirely with the committee. That nominating commitiee deliberat- ed for an hour and then presented lists of delegates that were approved Wwithout opposition by the convention. No lists like these were ever before handed in to a political cenvention in New London, re- publican or democrat. On each declara- tion were representatives of both factions of the party, and the names of women as delegates was the surprising tlimax. The convention swallowed the nominations bob, hook, line and sinker. All of the delegates were selected without their prior knowledge or consent, and as a result there are already several declina- tions to serve. With real leadership, there would have been no such conglomo- ration of delegates and every delegate nominated would stick to the ship, sink, swim or drown. Just why ist his lack of leadership not apparent to the uniniti- ated? Perhaps it is well that is is so, William C, Fox is the only democrat eceking the genatorial nomination and therefore it Would be safe for him to contract for the big feed usually giv- en to delegates by the candidate direct- ly after the nominating caucus adjourns. Mr. Fox was elected senator two years ago and pripr to the session of 1919, was a representAtive in the 1917 session. This merely indicates that he has had some experience in the political game, and has been playing it ever since the 1919 adjournment, and will not let up until the ballots are counted on election daq. If a Groton man is nominated to op- pose Fox that man will probably bde “Conny” Costello. He is a resident of Groton but a regular New London boom- er, but it a question as to just where he stands on the ferry question. It can be put down as fact, however, that he will be on the right side, as the right side It will require all the the business| poitical slyness of this particular fox to catch “Conny” off the political roost, if he is nominated. Since Costello cams to his employment in New London he has not mixed up in local politics, but has . Guess the| hean busy building up his popularity as atter will go over to the| pregident of tha Rotary club, a director of the Chamber of Commerce and fore- the recent community war his hailing port, he was once one of the most active politicians and he knows just as well how the game works as he does the workings of a wateh, and he is expert in the watch-)| working line. That's his business. SALEM Miss Ellen Fox left Wednesday for hern home in Kansas City, Mo. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Hinchey and chil- en of Norwich were recent guests of Mrs. Harry Moore.
