PERFECTLY SATISFIED, BUT NOI
 POINTING WITH PRIDE''

When the Connecticut Republican platform appeareds there was surprise over the non-appearance of any ref erence to the Corrupt Practices Act. That law was amended by the Repub- lican Legislature of 1909, and it is not the Republican custom to omit elf-gratulation over party achieve ments-'tpointing with pride is a chronic ailment of the organization.
 The natural inference from the omission was that the amended law was from the Republican standpoint, considered perfect, and that the party was fully satisfied with it. Certain
 ents compelled a close examination of the law, and the reason for Repub- lican satisfaction with it, and also for omission of the usual pointing with pride,'' was speedily revealed.
 It had been amended to complete Republican satisfaction, but the party dared not call attention to it's emas- cuIated condition by the customary pointing with pride.'' Very unwise. indeed, would it have been to call att tention to corruption-pr promoting exci- sion Had it not been that scandals in caucuses and conventions, occur ring through taking premature and iIl-advised advantage of the laws omissions, the emasculation of it into comparative worthlessness would prob ably have remained unknown until af- ter the election.
 The campaign of 1910 was evidently planned in the Legislature of 1909, which rejected a Public Utilities bill in order to renew the issue for 1910
 and to thus supply a tool for ''fry- ing the fat'' out of the public service corporations. Then, with lavish cam paign contributions assured in ad- vance, it was only necessary to pro- ] vide safe means for use of the money. | This was accomplished by ''drawing the teeth' of the Corrupt Practices l Act.
 | The Republican campaign of this year has been, upon the surface, less | active than usual-just enough to cov- ] CT the sub-surface work of corraling | the corruptib1e voters into ''blocks o1 fxe.'' or other convenient number. 1 It has been said that no party car ever win a success unless among its i principles is at least one moral ques- 1 tion" Surely, a review of the above l named facts and conditions will con- vince any unprejudiced voter that al least one moral question'-honesty l in e1ections-iE net upon the Repub1i- l can side in this campaign.

'TNDEED, SIR, THERE
 ARE COZENEISS ABROAD''

Bridgeport has, it appears, so-call- ed Law E1nrorcernent League. Its membership, it's officers with one ex- ception, and it's sources of pecuniary supply, are unknown, whether pur- posely keE* in secrecy we do not know, though a reason for this condi- tion may be easily surmised.
 The, most notable fact concerning this organization is it's complete quiescence up to the present time, though the need, if any, of law en- forcement against vice has probably been as great at any time within the year as at present. Not until it seemed necessary to the Republican campaign that a moral question" should be raised, did this league come to the front. It is the habit of such organizations to make themselves use full to the Republican party; indeed, many believe that to be the principal purpose of their existence. "And, in deed, Sir, there are cozeners abroad; i; therefore it behooves men to be wary"
 enforcers charges in substance that vice is unchecked and rampant under a Democratic administration of the city government. Whether or not the charge is we11-founded-high police of fcia1s who should know, say it is not-is less pertinent than the ques- tion, Who is responsible for non enforcement of the law against such vice as may exist.
 The entire prosecuting and judicial machinery of the law is in Republi- can hands-not a Democratic cog in it. If the law is not enforced, the responsibility rests with the Repub- lican party. Let the Republican
 prosecutors act, and the occupation
 of the Law Enforcement League would be, like Othello's gone. They are the things called whips which can, if they so desire, scourge the so- cial evil.
 There is a much greater evil. It is corruption of the suffrage. May we not call the attention of the lea que to the imminent probability that more votes will be purchased in this city on Nov. Sth than ever before, and also to the fact that the party to which the derelict local prosecutors | of vice belong, is the party which pre- pared the way for safe corruption and 1 is about to tread it? Here is the greatest of all evils in a republic ready to the hand" for punishment 1 through the Law Enforcement league. | if sincere in it's professionalism we very much doubt.

PEOPLE vs.> INTERESTS
THE REAL ISSUE

The pending U. s. Senatorship is the great prize of the coming election Great in honor, considerable in salary immense in possibility of real service to either the people or 'the interests it is worth the fierce fight making for it by the two Republican candi- dates, Bu1kley and Mclean. Each seems to be animated by that ''un- common anxiety which may indicate u1terior and hidden motives. Both have general managers of their cam paigns, with county managers under them. Each has an apparently per feet and welI-lubricated machine in full operation. It can hardly be that the honor or the salary, or both com bined, suffice to explain such exceed ing activity, such uncommon anxiety" Nor is it at all probable that either of these candidates is exercis- ing such great activity and expending the necessary cash, just to promote the cause of the people against the greedy, conseienceless interests, the agents of which infest Washington during Congressional sessions and are too often found occupying seats in the Senate and House.
 On the Democrats side, two men have announced their candidates for the pending Senatorship-Mayor Thay- CT of Norwich and Hon. John S. Sey- nour of Norwalk. Neither has a "ebarreY': neither possesses, or seehs- the favor of t'the interests''; neither betrays the uncommon anxiety which indicates an ulterior motive; neither has gone to the heavy expense of creating a State machine with coun- ty and town departments. Either of the two, or any one of dozens of other Democrats, would serve the cause of the people against ''the interests as, in our Judgment, neither of the two Republican asDirants would.
 Votes for Republican candidates for Representatives from the several towns mean votes for men who. if

elected, would support Bulke1ey Or Mclean, or some "dark horse'' under equal suspicion of corporate leanings; votes for Democratic nominees mean votes for men who, if elected, would
 seek to send to the U. S. Senate a man who would represent the people.
