RUSSELL SPEAKS UP
Answers Objections Made to
Measure to Give Alder
men Salaries.
REQUIRES MUCH LABOR
Declares II Is Difficult Task to Get
Men Willing to Run for
Office.

When interviewed last night In re-
gard to the opposition which Is being
manifested In some quarters to the
proposition for the payment OF salaries
Alderman Russell from the Fourteenth
ward. who is the member who sub
mitted the resolution calling for the
payment of the members spoke very
strongly In defense of his measure. In
answer TO the statement made in local
paper that there has never been any
lack Of good men who desired positions
in our board Of aldermen and were
willing and glad to assume the labors
and responsibilities simply for the mere
honor OF being n public servant he de-
MED tho statement entirely In re-
futation he declared that the fact actu-
ally Is that throughout the city Il IL
becoming a hard matter to persuade
men to become candidates and allow
themselves to become elected TO the
board. Instead Of being eager TO act
for the mere glory OF the office thev
look upon the honor as merely emptv
one while the labors attached to II thew
consider too arduous to be willingly
Assumed
Furthermore Alderman Russell point-
cd out the amount of work and in
some cases actual lost time a man has
to give to carry out the duties of the
| office which he has assumed 10 DO
gratis. One member of the local board
has figured that he has put in actusf1v
400 hours at the duties OF alderman
since he took office on January I. and
Alderman Russell adds that he thinks
such an amount Of time put In as that
deserves some pecuniary recompense.
He further added that the mere loss of
time which some men suffered in being
taken from their work for the meet
ings, not only of the board which are
only once or twice month but for
committee meetings which IN the case
of some Of the members Is three or
four evenings a week In addition to the
board meetings, and the expense the
members are put to merely In car fare
and the little incidentals which are ex-
pected from member Of the alder
manic board require that they should
receive small amount of pay
Referring to the idea that If paid at
all they should get much larger re
compense than they would under this
measure. Alderman Russell said the
only reason he placed It so low was be-
cause he felt there would be even a
greater kick II he placed It at any
higher sum He said that practically
all the members of the board were
unanimously in favor Of the measure
and believes that It will be referred
favorably to the board from the com
mittee which will meet upon It and
that It will be passed. Then the leg
islature will be asked to pass a law
granting the payment and the matter
will be pushed to finish

words: Votes for women"
They toured the town, scattered lit
erature and informing the villagers
that q meeting would be held In the

WILLING TO RUN
Says Gubernatorial Nomination
Must Come to Him as the
Wish of the Entire
Party.
WILL NOT LOOK FOR IT
Bryan Strength In Connecticut In
crcasing-State Central Com

To-day.

on the eve OF the meeting OF the
which Is to set date for the fall con-
vention where state ticket will be
nominated. Judge A. Heaton Robert
son. who has been very prominently
mentioned in connection with the nom
inatlon for governor, stated to The
Journal Courier last night his stand
In the matter. The announcement
will come as relief 10 his friends
who have been for the past month
trying TO get him to run, and the con-
ditions under which Judge Robertson
will become a candidate are so clearly
stated as to leave no doubt of his de-
termination in the matter. Judge
Robertson said:
III the democratic party wishes 10
nominate me, and ] see fair chance
for success, | will make the run for
the election, But | am not candl-
date In the sense that | will ask a
single man to get me the nomination.
Under no conditions would | take the
nomination unless It was the wish of
the entire democratic party, and those
people who are affiliated with IT,"
This statement means thats Judge
Robertson will enter into no contest
with Senator Archibald Mcneil Of
Bridgeport for the nomination, and
that the nomination must come to
him. Should the nomination come II
him, he will take It and then try by
every honorable means TO carry the
ticket through to victory.
Senator Mcneil has not yet an
nounced his candidacy and there ara
many close to him who say that, II
Judge Robertson Is willing to run the
Bridgeport man will come out strong
ly In favor Of him. If Judge Robert
son should decline to run, Senator
Mcneil then would contest for the
nomination with any other democrat
In the state.
Four years ago Judge Robertson
ran for governor against Henry Rob
erts of Hartford, accepting the nom
ination knowing that there was no,
the slightest chance for victory. III
did this because II was said he owed

COLDS DUE TO CATCHING HEAT .

That "colds" are due to Catching
heat" is another one of the curious
paradoxes due to the modern investiga-
tions of disease, and by "colds" is
meant all the acute infammations of
the respiratory tract, including pneu-
monia. Es<imos never have pneumonia
at home, but they nearly all die of it
when they come to New York. This
disease is now the most fatal one in
the heat of Panama. Peary states that
none of his party suffered from coughs
or colds in the arctic, but after their
return they have all had such diseases.
"Tropieal colds are the persistent
forms of bronchitis found in white men
in the tropics and so nard to throw
Off or cure. 1t is well to inquire, now
that the benefits of cold air are being
recognized, whether our winter colds
are not really due to the unwholesome
heat of our houses, which are hotter
in winter than in summer. If so, we
do not "catch cold' when we leave the
house, but "catch heat when we enter
It, Every new fact seems to point to
the necessity of a reform in our
methods of overheating our houses
