JEROME. TIE MHIRLMIND.

Starting With apparently not the
ghost of chance, turned down by the
Republicans and without 4 single en-
dorsement, William Travers Jerome has
secured re election as district attorney
in New York, after one OF the most
remarkable campaigns ever known. Tn
der disheartening conditions this man
with bull-d dog grit got to work, and
it is perhaps significant that he got
to work first with lot of labor union
representatives. These labor men saw
that Jerome was square peg for a
square hole. With that to start on, the
doughty fighter conducted whirlwind
campaign People and organizations
were drawn into the sweep. Voters
who stood for good government rallied
to his support, women who could not
vote did valiant service in electioneering,
friends of political freedom all over the
country lent their moral support and
the newspapers with almost unanimity
came out in appreciation Of Jerome.
Such tremendous force could not be
without its effect, and the Republican
organization was the first to feel it;
it withdrew its candidate for district
attorney From that time victory was
assured. But still Jerome kept hammer
ing away, and the anvil on which he
hammered was the head Of the political
boss" Freedom from boss rule was
the shibboleth, and in spite Of the siren
nous efforts Of those bosses in New York
the standard was carried to victory.
The Jerome victory was not only 4
personal recognition, but throw.dovn
for boss rule.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Alderman Milne Progressive.

Editor Daily Times; In reading report
of council meeting held Monday evening,
was very much pleased with the action
taken relative to the Alderman from
ward one. Our City Fathers may have
made mistakes in the past, but in this
case they showed very good Judgment
in not prosecuting.
do not wish you to understand there
is any desire on my part to shield any
one who breaks city ordinances The
voters of ward one who elected MIR.
Milne made the claim they had got a
progressive man and this action on his
part but proves the claim; for new
official he is certainly showing he wishes
to keep in line with Others. Your report
did not state whether the council again
intended 70 take up the matter or not,

outsider to give them any advice | am

not have great deal TO say but we
know there i d time OF the year when
they look after the city's interest and

So | think under this heading we can
safely class Alderman Mines latest.

THE WATERBURY CASE.

Possibly there are circumstances att
tending the violent death of Peter f.
Durant after someone in the Waterbury
institution had broken his breast bone
and four ribs which justified the justice

1t does not surprise us that the nurse
Immediately left the state We Mil

Of the matter. The old man Durant
was killed in the asylum and two nurses,
who treatd him violently, were arrested.
On the face Of it, the justice who fixed
the nominal bail of the nurses at $500
each has an explanation to make to the
public. The mere fact that the nurses
attempted to escape when they found
that Durant was dead should have set

There are some accnracies in this

following day and concluded on Thurs
day. The men were arrested on the
same day, and bail fixed at $780, One
OF the two furnished bail and the other,
failing to get bondsmen, was placed in
the county Jail. The patient did not
die until the Saturday night following,
and the autopsy which determined that
he had sustained broken breast bone
and four broken ribs was held on Sun
day. Therefore, it was manifestly i'm
possible that the men should have tried
to escape when they found that Du-
rant was dead, for the time when they
started to leave Waterbury was two
days before the death. Nor did the
justice, when he fixed the bail at $500,
know that the injuries were likely to
prove fatal, for the hearing was held
on the same day that the men were
apprehended as they We're about to
leave town (Which was Thursday. Had
the patient been dead when all these
things took place, there undoubtedly
would have been different action by
the court.
In the above we have no intention
of making light Of a very serious situa-
ton, but present the statement simply
to correct the inaccuracies, as we have
learned the facts, 50 that the public
mind may not be misled.

TERSELY TOLD.

The extent 70 which Dame Rtunor

in town the other day. A man who prob
ably knows more about guns and game
than most any ten men started out
as one of the deer-slayers. He hadn't
been gone more than IS hours before
the startling report came back that
.' has been shot, People who
knew the hunter and his acquaintance
with guns were inclined TO discount
the story 90 per cent if not the entire
100. But the report was persistent;
'' has been shot and is lying
at the point OF DEATH" The report
went so far as to name the locality
where the tragedy occurred, and as that
Tailed with the place for which the
hunter started, incredulousness began to
change 10 half belief.
A newspaper scribe determined to
know the facts, and 50 'phoned to the
nearest Office The report came back
that $500" Is eating three square
meals day and expects to for some
time to come. After being all but
buried by Rumor, he came back TO town
and has since been cunning Tor the man
who started the story. He thinks the
erroneous report must have been set
going by someone overhearing someone
else telling how he @ was acct
dentally shot d good many years ago.
Still he would like to know the cause.
