Echoes Of the Brandegee- Hill SEN

John T. King of Bridgeport a Hill
man, has announced his candidacy for

senatorial candidate. It should be
remembered that no one has been
heard to say that Sheriff Hawley has
not made q good oficial.-New Brit

This was foreshadowed early IN the
Hill campaign, and IT is simply the
expected happening. It was contemp-
tible for the Brandegee influence to
hold up Postmaster Allen for his de-
eertion. but it is presumably politi-
cally right over In Fairfield county

cause Of his maAliness. Sheriff Haw-
ley declined to violate his pledges,
which were made after Hill had as
sured him he was not going to be a
candidate against Brandegee. We
have too good an opinion Of the people
Of Fairfield county to believe they win
back up such a programme. Sheriff
Hawley has done nothing to be
ashamed Of or to apologize for. He
will not be seriously injured by de-
feat. 1t only shows the character OF
the game that is being played.

won heretofore thoroughly reliable
reputation as a judge OF men. or Of

thought that Mt this time, Of all times,

another chief lieutenant to replace Ste

In the past. Stevens had lost his cum

AS the vote Of LanGdon could not be

to pay In actual cash for the vote.
This was the final step. but one In po-
litical conspiracics Of this nature -cash
But Langdon would not take cash, so
Peabody had to resort to the last
agency Of the trained and corrupt ma
nipulator Of legislation.
He would threaten.
Moreover. he knew that to make
threats effective. IL II is possible to
do so, they must be led up to systemat-
ically-that is. they should be made at
the right time. The scene must be set,
as In play.
Senator Peabody glared at Langdon
as though to convince the latter that
to stand In his way would mean polit
ical destruction.
