The News to-day comes to you in en- larged form for the reason that 1t was an impossibiGty to accomodate the greatly increased advertising patronage in the regular edition. Progressive business men in Canaan, Winsted, Great Bar rington, Millerton, Lakeville. Sharon, Falls Village and other places made i'm precedented demands on our space and the increase in advertising for this week amounts to more than four pages. The desire on the part of these merchants to place their announcements in this paper is evidence conclusive of it's merit as an advertising medium. AS favor to the advertiser and to The News, we ask you to make mention of the fact when you make purchases at their stores, that you saw their announcement in The News.

So much encouragement has come from recent wide publicity given their business with the Standard Oil Con- pan, that the Hisgens, or the Four Brothers Indedendent Oil Company, as their concern is styled, are going to branch out and carry the fight into Bos- ton, Worcester and Providence. Incl dentally in connection with their efforts to get legislation which will give them a fair chance an appeal has been made direct to Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., of Massachusetts, to incorporate in his message to the 1907 legislature a recom- mendation that a law be passed prohib- iting the kind of discrimination the Standard practices.-Eagle.

The records fail to show a presiden- tial boom that was more enthusiastic or that "f1attened out" more quickly than that of William Jennings Byran, which began while he was abroad and reached its zenith immediately after his return to his native heath. THE NEWS re- marked at that time that 1906 boom for a 1908 nomination was altogether too premature and could not last. And so it has proved. Bryan name as presiden- tial candidate does not receive one men, tion now where it formerly received a hundred and it seems hardly probable that popular enthusiasm can be again raised to the return to- America pitch.
 We then referred to the preference for Bryan displayed by politicians who were previously antagonistic to his can- didacy and dropped the hint that these men, in a streak of far-sightednsss, pos.

These men believed that by al- lowing Byran to enjoy his boom then, that when the time arrives for the choos- ing of standard bearer for the demo- cracy in 1908. the chances of some other candidate, more acceptable to them, will be much greater, in fact one other name, that of President Woodrow Will son of Princeton University, has already been mentioned and in certain quarters he is regarded as the strongest candi- date now available from the ranks of democracy.

Connecticut has furnished New York with several citizens who have attained positions of prominence in the Empire State. Perhaps the native of nutmeg dom upon whom the lime light of pub licity is refecting it's brightest rays at the present time is the Hon. Timothy Woodruff. "Tim" has been chosen the chairman of the republican state com mittee and is more prominently men, tioned than any other politician as the probable successor of Senator Thomas Platt. MT. Woodruff has held the of fee of Lieutenant Governor of New York and has aspired to the governor ship but up to the present time the sign has not happened to be right for his ob- taining the nomination. According to all reports, he still has the gubanatorial bee in his bonnet and it is not beyond the range of possibility that he may reach the coveted goal before the close of his political career.
 A few years ogo "Tim" became a granger, identifying himself with the Austerlitz Grange of Spencertown, N. Y., i(to make himself solid with the farmers, the democrats claimed.) On that particular evening the late senator Henry s. Amber of Columbia County had him in tow and "Tim" chung to him closer than brother lest he should be bombarded by the farmers with em- barlassing questions regarding agricul- ture. The senator left Tim" alono for a moment and it was then that a be- whiskered and horny handed son of toll slid up alongside and asked ''Tim" what particular breed of pumpkins he favored feeding COWS in the fall of the year. "Tim" answered "Shropshires" and the slip cost him IA votes among his brother grangers at the next election.
