THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK

with the campaign half over, and
Bryan already counting chickens from
the unmatched eggs he thinks he laid
on his Eastern trip, and with the
Democrats claiming all sorts OF things
Il Is time to look over the field and
see Just where we are at.
The weak spots In the Republican
line. and there are several OF them.
have been pretty we'll developed, while
the attack on the Democrats is just
beginning Bryan's first attempt has
been of course, 20 make the people
believe that the Republican party is
connected with the trusts and will
betray the people TO them. He has
shown only that some individuals are
20 connected. but OF course the party
has to carry the weight OF any
scoundrel who wishes to say he be-
longs to II. Bryan is giving the Inn
preston that he thinks he can carry
out the programme In his platform,
and this Is winning votes among the
ignorant. The dissatisfaction among
the laborers over the injunction plank
in the Republican platform is natural.
II unjust. Bryan's speaking tour thru
the East has aroused a good deal Of
enthusiasm and scared lot Of East
ern Republicans. and altogether the
men who believed I'm the early sum-
mer that Taft would have a walk
over have found that this is not like
ly to be so and are scared to death.
The fact is, of course, that the Re
publican party will win this year not
because II is perfect. but In spite of
its mistakes, because II is nearer
right than Its opponent and is moro
worthy OF trust.
The Republican party has failed In
many things. II could hardly help
the growth of the trusts. and their
regulation could not be provided for
In advance. but many people feel that
Il has been unduly slow about the
regulation, and unduly fast in taking
action against labor. There has been
a great abuse by the courts of the
power of injunction in labor disputes.
and this has led TO wide demand for
a reform and the party has failed to
take any action for relief. Moreover.
It has been proved. notably in the last
week against Senator Foraker. that

The great German steamship lines were in constant practice in emharking and disembarking, and as the railroads were owned by the state all prelimin- aries. up to the actual despatch of troops, could be carried out with the utmost secrecy. Germany was per- fectly aware, the fold marshal went on that it would be essential for her transports to eyade the British fleet, and she could easily distract attention by small raids while the main dis emharkation was proceeding undis- turhed.

SALOONS 0BEYlMG THE LAW
Question as to Whether General Busl- ness Is Harmed--NIen Going Out of Town for
 Drink.
fspecinI to thc .IournnI-C Courierl

Branford Nov. 23-An interesting ex- pertinent Is being worked out at pres ent in the town of Branford, interest," ing not alone to the people of this place, whom 1t vtally concerns, but also to q lesser degree to the people of New Haven and of all the towns here- abouts. The question, conclsely stat ed. Is thls: Can no-license be success ful in large town near license city and surrounded by license towns?
 At the last election the portion of the town of Branford, which includes all but the extreme eastern part of the town known as Stony Creek, voted that there should be no license. In the time which has elapsed since the clos ing of the saloons. the situation has been closely observed by both advo- cates and opponents of license and by many dlsInterested parties. It was the purpose of The Journal-Courler repre- sentative to get the views of these va lrous persons and also to look into the situation independently, with the pur- pose of discovering just how effective morally financially and in all other re- spects, no-license Is in that town
 The advocates of no-license say that it Is proving a great success, citing facts and instances, while the oppon- ents of no-license cite other facts to prove that 1t Is worse than a failure.
 bn aret biri, oricne in such a situation Is whether it has been possible absolutely to prohibit the sale of liquor in the town. An investiga~ ton showed that all tlYe saloons were obeylng the law at least as far as out ward appearances went, and that most of them were abiding by the letter of the law and were particularly anxious to do so as their proprietors believe that absolute inability to obtain liquor will the sooner defeat no-license. On the other hand 1t was stated, by men of both parties that liquor Is being sold in Branford in one or two places but not to any great extent,
 Of course 1t is very hard to determine just how much liquor Is being brought into place for private consumption, but there seems to be no great traffic of this sort at present The express men who do a business between New Haven and Branford report that they are carrying much less spirits than for merly and a correspondingly larger amount of soft drinks. birch beer and like. One such man said that since the saloons were closed he has carried to Branford less than two gallons ot whiskey, whereas he frequently used to carry 1t in fairly large quantities. The freight agent and express agent at the Branford depot both report that they have not handled a single pack age which they thought contained IT, ouor. and they expressed surprise at this as they had expected that large business of that sort would pass through their hands as soon as 1t was impossible to obtain 1t in the town. This evidence Is not conclusive, how ever, as people who secure liquor in that manner are usually not anxious that it should he known and would
