The Democratic party is needed. No party can serve Connecticut efIec- lively in which a nomination is the equivalent of an election. The wei fare of the State is assured only when the party in power knows it may lose it's influence through intelligent crit icisrn and opposition Connecticut has needed that kind sof criticism tor many years and the Democratic party is in position to offer it.
 The Dem ocratic party of Connect1- cut. under the leadership of Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, is prepared TO defy the agencies of political corrup- ton, to ask why the good of the greatest number should not be served and why the special interests should remain the concern of the Genera 4,sa needs of the people.

':It may be difficult for the lay mind to realize the great benefits of a powerful germicide, which can be it means that internal infection can be arrested just as effectuaIly by it's use, as external infection has been in the past by the old agents. As a further illustration in another way, suppose a soldier, parched with thirst after Q, battle, came upon a pool of typhus germ was present by millions. He might dip his cup full of that germ poison, and by adding one drop of this chemical, that water would become harmless, and would in stantly change from germ poison, to a beneficial medicated drink
 It is probable that the medical journals will very shortly be full of discussion regarding the practicability of the use of the new chemical in thousands of different ways. First tests it is claimed, will probably be, made upon animals for new uses. The first result of the discovery however, Will be to displace in time, the use of carbolic acid, which is generally used for self destruction. It is even possible that now a more powerful substitute that is harmless, has been found, the sale of carbolic acid may in time be prohibited by law, and the use of lysol and peroxide be- practi- caIIy done away with.

 In a long statement just issued Con gressman Foss referred to a recent ut terance by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge >deprecating the use of money and force in elections, and said that he was glad to learn that Senator Lodge had experienced a change of heart' adding that ''there are those who have not yet forgotton Senator Lodges ear 1y campaigns for Congress when his district was flooded with money: how this scholar in politics studied his check book more than works on polit- icaI economy and depended upon it to do it's work.

 New York, Oct. 21-The Legislative graft committee held 8 meeting in Sing Sing Prison today.

Congressman Foelker,. on the witness stand, had told the committee that Schroeder had offered him S5O.OOO either to vote against the racetrack bills, or absent himself from the Sen ate while the bills were up for final passage

A NEW GERMICtDE
May be Taken Internally With
 Complete Safety
Internal Infection Arrested as
 Effectually as External Has Been-Further Tests Soon to be Made

To Minnesota seat of learning, belongs the honor of giving to the world the most wonderful discovery for the physical benefit of mankind that has been known, since medical science discovered the germ theory
 Prof. H. c. Carel, of the University of Minnesota, for many years head of the department of medical chem iStry and toxico1ogy and chemist to has discovered a chemical, which will reyo1utionize the warfare upon germ life that has been the enemy of the human system, and bring success in cases where the physician and sur geon has been heretofore baffled be- cause of the lack of proper agent with which to wage the warfare
 Before giving out the result of his research, Prof. CareI has had ex- haustive tests made by several of the leading state and university bacterf- than borne out his own, he comes be- fore the world of medical science with his discovery, which he has fancifu1ly styled Reneto1 (Beneturn Naptho1un9> in spite of the desire of many of his friends that he give the chemical his own name.
 To the public mind, it is enough to know that the new chemical is eight times strong as carbo1ic acid and yet is not a poison. That is to say, that by his discovery, physicians will
 
 where they are lodged and living, within human beings, exactly as they have been attac cking them externally. Never before, have the guardians of the public health been able to give doses of any of the disinfectaflts in sufficient strength to kill germs. It is now claimed for the first time, sci ence has a weapon with which to at- tack the germs that have hitherto been intrenched within the human frame.
 It is claimed by some of the en- thusiastic scientists who have tested Benetol, that it will mean the ending of the terror which has attended typhus, cholera and all germ diseases. How far it may prove successful it is admitted will depend. upon careful tests but so far actual tests upon people in hospitals in various States have brought reports of even greater success than had been expected by Prof CareI and his co-workers.
 ''I dislike discussing the success of my work until 1t has been proved be- yond a doubt by medical science" said Prof. Carel, speaking of the new chemical. ttAs for my own faith in it, can only say that I am so con fdent that I am willing to submit myself to chlorea infection, to prove that it can be successfully treated with my discovery. firmly believe. that if Beneto1 had been known, and in use in Russia during this last ter rible epidemic, it would have been ar rested.
