OPEN DOOR TO THE EAST.

Norwich is likely to have an un-
usally large delegation Of visitors from
the west to attend the 250th anniver-
sary because Of The special rates
which have been given to tourists
from Chicago to the New England and
other eastern summer resorts. Des-
patches from that city report a large
demand for these round-trip season
tickets, more than 1000 of them be-
ing sold in Chicago on June 1, the
first day they became available. The
round-trip rate between Chicago and
New York is made 1920 on the STAN
dard lines and $3.50 on the differen-
tial lines. All of the trunk lines are
making special preparations to take
care Of the new traffic expected to
develop during the vacation season
the anticipation being that western
people will come east for their out
ings to an extent not before known
as result Of the special rates.

cognizant of those little red heels

The ConImoner voices the feeling Of
Mr.. Bryan that the present condition
of affairs in congress has gone far
enough and must be reckoned with
logically in the wedding out of unfaith-
full democrats from the next body. He
is on the warpath already for the cam

advance declaration of principles which
the real democrats of the country
can think over meantime at their
leisure:

THE democrats who voted against

Voted to encourage the destruction

Voted to raise the price of one of

Voted to tax material that en-

thus to place an unnecessary burden

that she was tired of the stage and
