When Mayor Reynolds withdrew his candidacy for renomination two years ago. his action was practically forced the twenty year water contract would prevent his reelection. if renominated. Is history about to substantially repeat itself? Is the odium of the recently perpetrated harbor line-car barn "com- promise" likely to kill off another Mayorial candidacy for reelection? If so. isn't it about time for punishment to be administered to the party re- sponsible for these two administrations which have proved so subservient Ito corporate influences. instead of allow the sacrifice of scapegoat? In poli- tics. vicarious atonement Is insufficient. It does not reach the root of the evil.
 The foundation cause of the two dis tinguishing marks of the Reynolds and Lee administrations. is that the Re- publican party itself is on the side of the corporations as against the people. These two Mayors did but carry into effect the well-known and long-estab- lished policy of their party. Possibly. their own predilections may have run that way. but this is immaterial. They their party and did so with complete accuracy and fidelity. Key holds fairly earred a renomination; Lee equally merits a renomination-I both. because they acted in full ac- cordance with the well-known senti- ments of their party leaders

CUTICURA MET WITH
 ITS USUAL SUCCESS

"Ihave two little girls who have been troubled very badly with eczema. One of them had it on her lower limbs. I did everything that could hear of for her, but it did not give in until warm weather when it seemingly subsided. The next winter when it became cold weather the eczema started again and also in her head where it would take the hair out and leave bare patches as large as a quarter of dollar. At the same time her arms were sore the whole length of them. I took her to Q phy- sician and he said that she had two distinct types of eczema. continued with him for several weeks and the child grew worse all of the time. Her sisters arms were also affected in the same way. My husband came home one day with a box of Cuticura Oint- ment and a cake of Cuticura Soap. began using them and also the Cuticura Pills and by the time the second lot was used their skin was soft and smooth as it had not been before for the winter. We keep the Cuticura Soap and Cuti- cura Ointment constantly by us and when any little roughness or irritation appears on their skin quickly dispel it with the Cuticura Remedies. My husband has used them with most satisfactory results for a sore head which has troub- led him from childhood. Mrs. Charles Baker, Albion, Me-, Sept. 21. 1eoS."

 In the Fairfield Stars the town has team of which it can well be proud. They have played together for three successive seasons and all are clean cut young men. In McGarry and Drew they have two first class pitchers, with plenty of speed, good curves and good heads-the necessary requirements for pitcher Tom Car roll on 1st base, Ambrose Smith on End and John Carroll on 3rd have no equal as basemen. Ed Jennings, the heavy hitter on the team, covers short stop position in a creditable manner In the outfelds Bob Dalling in left, Joe Carroll in center and Frank Smith in right, are seldom equaled in the amateur ranks as fielders. Ben- nett the catcher, as noted in a pre- vious issue, will be found among fas- ter company. He is a good stop and has strong arm. Recently the Stars went to Westport and played the strong team of that place. Game was called after the 3rd inning on &C., count of the rain, the score being to 0 in flavor of the Stars. Sniffin, the strong Westport pitcher, was in the box for the Westporters and a South Norwalk man was behind the bat, but McGarry, the Stars pitcher, was in the box for Fairfield, and had the goods. his opponents not being able to touch him.
