.SIMONS NOT A BIT
PUT OUT BY DEFEAT
TAFT AND M'LACHLAN MUST
REDEEM PROMISES
Believes Campaign viii Result in Los
Angeles County Getting Recog-
milton 1t Deserves from
Congress

,lseph Slmons, prominent in the Los
Angeles campaign for Bryan and one
of the active workers and liberal con-
tributors to the cause, told Maj. Will
liam r. Burke in the presence of the
committee that he was ready to pull
off his coat again in the morning and
go to work for the cause.
Mr.. Simons said to The Herald:
II am ready % start in and work to-
morrow to build up the organization.
During the campaign we come in
contact with thousands of people and
with their aid we will be able to per-
feet an organization in Los Angeles
county that will be surpas 1ed by moth
ing in the United States.
I'VE are not discouraged, knowing
that though the pendulum has swung
far the other way it must sart on its
backward movement.
1.-THE election of Mr.. Taft to the presi-
C~-4cy means that he has assumed
great responsibility.
He must make good on his promises
to Immediately return to this country
It's former prosperity that existed pre-
Yious to October a year ago.
IF such prosperity is returned we, as
democrats, will rejoice and will share
alike with our political oppono ats the
benefits that lave arrived.
IF Rush should by any possibility be
defeated we will consider it a calamity
to our congressional district, as we had
hoped that our active efforts would Sc
cure some appropriations from congress
that will aid us in completing San
Pedro harbor that we might take ad-
vantage of the trade possibilities that
naturally will fall to us through the
completion of the Panama canal.
mo doubt the reduced majorities of
Mr.. McLachlan will stir him up some
and cause him to make at least a
feeble effort for our relief.
1--WE further hope that in the next
congress he will be more attentive to
the needs of the people of Los Angeles
county than he has been in the past.
Il don't believe that Bryan has suf-
fered much in the estimation of the
people. His defeat was due to condi-
tions that existed

ioration." The bishop was followed by Arohdeacon George Nelson of New York, said: "I never saw any indication other than the finest type of mental soundness in Dr. Tiffany" Rev. Dr. James Wes- ley Johnson of Brooklyn, N. Y., said that after Dr. Tiffany illness he noticed . marked change. When he inquired about his health his eye became lurid and his face assumed a very peculiar hue. Any reference to his health ex- cited him and brought on a mental con- dition that was very distressing. The witness then told of a number of in- stances which showed that a marked change had occurred in the archdeacon. He became irritable, could not carry on or sustain conversation; would be talk ing clearly then his mind would lapse; conversation would drag and he would become stupid and heavy. He would fall asleep while he was talking to him. Witness observed a marked dullness and stupidity in him. When he walked he would drag his feet; was more or less irascible. T h @ doctor thought Dr. Tiffany was not competent to make a will. Laura Tiffany told of the arch deacon's suffering slight stroke of par alysis, of his giving up his work and of his increasing feebleness, particularly in 1906 and 1907, just before the last will was drawn. He shufaeld in his walk, one side of his face dropped and his tongue was thick. He did not talk plain and had difficulty in hearing. Charles H. Tiffany of New York, a second cou- sin, told of seeing the archdeacon in Sharon in 1906 and spoke of his condi- tion as being dozy. that he shuf1eld in his walk and was very much changed in his personal appearance. The session is still in progress.

$75 FOR EVIDENCE
Looking For Folks Guilty of Corrupt
 Practices.

Looking For Folks Guilty of Corrupt To the Editor of NEws:-
 The following concerning corrupt prnc- tices is being sent to the papers of the state. Will you kindly give space to it in an early issuse?
 Ours in splendid state politically, and is constantly growing better. The situation as to corrupt influencing of voters cannot be said to be really bad, but yet there. is in one way and another. a great deal of such influencing. It would seem that only by the irony of fate could this be true. Our fathers were ready to sacrifice all that was dear for that which was dearest i. @. the privi- lege of voting and of voting according to conscience and judgement.
 We have enough law against corrupt practices, and undoubtedly the law does much to prevent trespassing by the very fact of it's standing on our statute book like big ugly-looking bull dog on a lawn. Moreover, ,our watchdog has teeth and shows them. But the fact is that he needs, on occasion, something to ''sio i'm on." For many reasons it is hard for the average resident of community to do the sicing-on act. We do not wish to put premium on lack of community initiative, but rather to encourage it. To appeal to merccnary motives for law enforcement is farthest from. our wish, but we are willing to guarantee thnt at least the possible cost of getting evidence will be met. Hence the follow ing:
 In every town in the state having a population of 5000 or less The Good Git izenship League of Connecticut hereby agrees to pay the sum of $75 to the per- son furnishing evidence which shall re- suit ill the first conviction, In any such town, of person guilty of corrupt prac- tioes in connection with the nomination or election of any member of the Gen. eral Assembly of 1909-191O. See sect ions 1894 and 1799, General Statutes, and chapter 240, Public Acts of 1907. These volumes can be found in the office of any lawyer, Justice of the Peace, or Town Clerk.
 The proposition does not include the larger towns because we do not want too big a contract, because they are better able to take care of themselves, and be- cause the small towns seem to be the chief sinners. Work of getting evidence will need to be quietly and skilfully done, sometimes by men used to getting evidence. For suggestions, write the undersigned. Of course we would not undertake to prosecute on the ground of a merely technical violation. Let those interested save and circulate this notice. (Signed) WALTER E. LANPHEAR, Ssere. tary, Mansfield Center, May 27, 1908.
