POLI'S.

Playing to capacity houses at each of the twelve performances last week Manager Poli evidently proposes to pack them in again this week for he has provided the most costly and the best balanced bill ever booked at Polls headed by Jesse l.. Laskys newest and most successful produc- tion "On the Housetops," presented with Knute Erickson, vaudevilles most eccentric comedian and a com pany of 15 skilled players, including the always classy collection of Lasky girls. The new act is by Eddie Clark and centers around a house party in the comet. There is fun galore, tuneful song numbers, splendid gowns and of course the place where the scene is laid gives opportunity for splendid scenic investiture and ela- borate sass effects; a,,oot oQn the the Housetops" New Haven theatre where it was a great big hit all of last week. On the same bill will appear Charles and Fannie Van, big favorites in Bridgeport, offering their new act, ''The Stage Carpenters Experience" which is said to be the best of all the many good acts they have had; International Polo Teams direct from the Palace, London, in a series of spirited polo contests; Mintz and Wuertz, aerialistic marvels; Fiddler and Shelton, the mimic and the pianist; John J. McCowan and com pany in Yaudeville's most original of fer'ng Election Night; and the Strolling Players, Italian street musi- ciaps and singers. The electrograph will show an interesting series of views and the bill in its entirety promises to be a highly entertaining one. Hundreds were unable to se- cure good seats last week and this ought to serve as a reminder to order early in the week. All seats are now ready and there is no distinction at Polls for the first to order are the first to be served.

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.


 Probably the greatest blessing to the country, as the result of the elections of 1910, is the fact that a new set of Democratic leaders have finally ap- peared, who can command public con- f1dence and who are endowed with qualities of leadership which must distinguish statesmen worthy of the guidance of great parties in a mod ern Democracy. It seems to us that every citizen, whether Republican or Democrat, may take fresh heart and find new reasons for encouragement concerning his country In the develop ment as leaders of the Democratic party of such men as Dr. Woodrow Wilson, Gov. Harmon of Ohio, John A. Dix of New York and Judge Bald win of Connecticut.
 Of these Dr. Wilson and Gov. Har- mon seem to take a foremost rank in their National prestige and future possibilities. Under the leadership of each, an extraordinary victory has been achieved. The Governor of Ohio in securing second term in a State which counted a President of the Uni ted States, belonging to the opposing party, as one of it's own citizens has accomplished something unparalleled in Ohio, during an entire generation. With his personal triumph has come also the election of Democratic Uni ted States Senator

The Reilly Victory.
(Ansonia Sentinel.)

The choice of Reilly over Shepard is largely a personal matter. The scan dalouS rumors following the conven- ton which nominated Shepard capped the climax of indignation that fol- lowed the meeting in New Haven of few guiding minds who appor- toned the rewards and emoluments of office without consulting the power that makes and unmakes bosses. .'- Waterbury American.
 The power that makes and un- makes bosses was probably never called upon to perform a more dis agreeable duty, or under circumstances which were more perplexing to good Republicans. The result would seem to indicate, for once, the voters made the issues in the Second district para mount to the alleged needs of Taft. Over in Meriden, the home of Reilly. they view the case differently. They prefer to believe that Shepards de- feat was all due to the vote-getting powers of Reilly, the man who "over- turned a majority of 9,251, which the district gave Sperry two years ago." That view also makes the matter a personal one. It gives rt to Reilly all the glory and frees the guiding minds" of all responsibility

COMMISSION GOVERN
 MENT IN LYNN
(Springfeld Uniol


 The city of Lynn has adopted the commission form of government, and the Lynn News is complaining that men of larger caliber are not willing to be candidates for places on the commission. Unless there comes a change in this situation Lynn will be no better off under commission gov ernment than under the old system. AS we have pointed out before, a change in a charter will not of itself suffice to bring about an improve ment in city government. It is the men that are elected, not the instru- ment by which they are chosen, that determine whether a city shall have good government or bad. If honest and capable men cannot be induced to serve as commissioners, dishonest or incapable ones will seek and obtain election. and the city will be, if any thing worse off than under the old form of government

Judge Baldwin's Campaign.
(Springfeld RepubHcan.)

(Springfield RepubHcan.)
 The campaign which the judge made was notable for it's vigor, acuteness and tireless pursuit of his opponent. In the final exchange between them on the question of an inquiry into cor rupt practices, Judge Baldwin drove the Republican candidate from the field of debate entirely. There were naturally many doubts before the Democratic nomination was made whether a man who had been isolated on the bench for IS years and had reached the age of 70 could adapt himself quickly to a political atmos- phere and hold his own in a violent partisan conflict. But it is now ap- parent to all that, not only in his dis cussion of State issues, but in his con- duct of the controversy with MT. Roosevelt, which was suddenly precip- itated upon him without the slightest warning, Judge Baldwin proved the most sagacious and the strongest ad- versary the Republicans of Connecti- cut have encountered in 20 years.
 Judge Baldwin will make an excel lent Governor. In some respects he may surprise the State by his admins tration as much as he has already by the force and success of his canvass. The State has need of his services; and he will surely rise to the limit of his opportunity.

COMMENT OF EDITORS
 ON BALDW|N'S ELECTION

d1dates fors United States Senators ill the bitter fight now being waged. Whether or not there is any truth ill the allegations it becomes increasing ly important that the voting for United States senator by the 1egisla- tors be made by a roll call and that every member of the general assem- ply who votes should stand in his place when his name is called and say who he Is voting for and nothing will do more to prevent improper inf1u- ence to be brought to bear than this: A mans constituents who have elece- ed him with this important contest In view have a right to know just now he casts his vote. No valid Ob- lection can be heard to this course by either the candidate for senator or the legislators themselves.

REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY.
(Ansonia Sentinel.)

NAuSOI1d o0HCln0l.b
 Distrust and dissatisfa ction with the administration which has been in power. together with the suspicion that Republican leaders have in too many instances sought to strengthen their organization at the expense of large measure responsible for what took place in this state, Tuesday. Re- publicans may as well accept this un- pleasant doctrine along with their defeat, and meanwhile study 1t with a view to deriving good from the punishment which has been admins tered. Some of them have already asked themselves the question wheth- CT the turn to Democracy is tenn porary or permanent, and it is prob ably safe to conclude that much still depends upon the Republicans them crats as are in power, whether the former are again entrusted with the old-time supremacy. They still have the majority and therefore the bal ture-both in the house and in the senate-and they will be as closely watched there as if they had a Re- publican governor over them instead of a Democrat. Indeed, it is obab1e that their acts will be scrutfnized years past. Accordingly then, as they do the right thing at the right time, or fail to do it, will they gain or lose strength and win or lose pub lie confidence.
 One of the first tests which is like ly to come to them will be when Governor Baldwin makes his appoint ments. What wisdom he will eXer- else in making his selections for posi- tions of responsibility remains to be revealed, but he is credited with hav- ing received his nomination and elec- ton absolutely free from personal obligations, and there is no question but he may be trusted to make strong appointments. These appoint ments, naturally, may not be pleas ing to Republicans, for they are like ly to fall to men outside of the Re- publican fold. A Republican senate, however, will be asked to confirm very many of these appointments, and it will be up to it, we believe, to do just this thing. If the major ity of Republicans who will be in power in the senate refuse to con- firm Governor Baldwin's appoint ments, then they may expect, two years hence, a repetition of the les son administered this year. If, how ernor his choice of state officials, in appointive offices, they may hope through that method to keep the tide of public opinion from setting against them any stronger than it has.
 The appointments, of course, will offer but one of the many ways in which there will come test of Re- publicanism, during the coming term of legislature. It will be entirely un- like other terms in many respects, and it will afford many opportunities for Republicans to gain or lose strength.
