 About half dozen fellows who whooped it up for the republicans be- fore election and clinched things so far us they could by working for them from o'clock in the morning until the gong at the Connecticut Lighting and Power company's i,;ant called time at o'clock in the afternoon last Tuesday, are about town now talking harmony and looking for recruits for their clubs so that they may have a bigger pull than ever when the next election comes around.

If reformation fig needed ill the democratic camp in Waterbury the jokers who assisted tue enemy in the great battle for Bryan and the masses are not the ones the party should trust to bring it about The party is all right. but many who profess to belong to it are no good, and stand much more in need of reformation that is, provid- ed they want to be democrats. than the party does. That's the situation exactly and those ''reformers' needn' t think that they can fool the people all tho time.

A Trip to Cuba, but the Reasons Are
 Not Given.

 He will sail from New York on Sat Irday and will be accompanied by his son.
 Any political object that the secre- tary of war could have in visiting Gu ba at the present time, when the con- stitutional convention of the islanders has just assembled, is too obscure for the war department officials to solve, and they are at a loss to understand why a man in Secretary Roots state of health should risk the Cuban eli mate at this time of the year, when malarial influences are at their height.
