Norwich bulletin., 1909-10-09

There was persistent talk before tho election to the effect that Richard p. Freeman, Jr., for years an anti-Ma- han democrat, and who recently went over into the republican camp, would like to succeed William J. Brennan as blamed much for such ambition even if he is a raw recruit to republicanism. for there is a snug salary attached to the office. The election of Mir. Mahan for mayor cooks Richards goose so far as that particular appointment is concerned, for the mayor will see to fl tint no democratic vote in the ooun- ell goes to Richard and not enough votes can be taken from Brennan on the republican side to elect Freeman. Mir. Brennan is chairman of the re- publican town committee and there fore active in the republican politics of the city and is entitled to every republican vote in the court of com mon council.
 Tn years to come, when Richard be- comes seasoned republican, he will make his presence felt. for he Is an adept at the game of politics. and ever since he attained his minority has been an inner circle member of tho democratic partR until he retired to make more room for Mir. Mahan. Three years ago he was active in the eiec- ton of Mayor Armstrong as against Mir. Mahan. and he claimed as much credit as any other man in the election of Armstrong and the defeat of Ma han. For years he was democrat good and true. and it was a long time before he learned the error of his way and became a republican He is only one of the many former democrats who have left the democratic party mainly for the purpose of voting and working against Mahan and his polit- ical methods. but the result Of Moa- days election shows plainly that Ma han was the choice Of many republi- csns as well as democrats

per recently to the effect that J. F..
Jack had sold 500. 900 worth of alfal-

This farm is within a few hours
drive Of Fredericksburg, and the
quality of the soil is similar to hun
dreds of other farms situated in the
Rappahannock Valley. Ii needs no
argument to show what lands in the
Re- pahannock Valley are capable Of,

A POLITICAL MISFORTUNE

The Providence Bulletin, COM
menting on Gov. Johnson's death
from a political standpoint, says:
There is something more in the death
of Gov. Johnson than the mere passing
away Of good man. He had become
q political figure so prominent that. now
he is gone, the political slate viii have
to be rewritten. No man appeared so
likely as he to be the candidate of the
Democratic party in the next presi-
Dental election. Ii is almost beyond
thinking that Mr. Bryan can enter the
list again. With him out of the way,
who else was there whose popu-
larity, proven worth, and sound politi-
cal beliefs could compare with those Of
the Minnesota governor? Many Demo-
Gratis would have preferred to march
under his banner last fall. Three years
hence the tide would have set in his
direction with a force hard 70 stem.
That is all over now, and to many will
be, undoubtedly, an added cause for
grief at his untimely demise.
The Bulletin is right when it says
that the re-entry of Bryan is almost
beyond thinking, but his present
political activity in Texas must
mean something more than animos-
ity toward Senator Bailey. His con-
slant attempts through speeches. in
terviews and The Commoner to as
sumo continued leadership of the
Democratic party leads to the belief
that the party must summons the
courage TO -fegcihly dethrone this
discredited king, ere it can hope for
success at the polls. If the Demo-
cratic party is to continue subSer-
Went to Mr.. Bryan's wishes. then
farewell hope. Mr.. Bryan cannot
again be the Democratic nominee
for president and he must not be al
lowed to dictate the nomination.
Better throw him over and take the
chances than continue to be crushed
By the weight of Organism. Gov.
johnson was the man on whom the
party would in all probability have
depended and his death was most
unfortunate, but there are other
Democrats of national prominence
tc whom an organized party, rid OF
Mr.. Bryan's domination, can look
with hope.

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
