CONGRESSMAN 'TOM'' REILLY.

The Farmer has already referred with pardonable pride to the magni- f1cent run for Congress in this dis trict made by member of it's staff, and, although the hopes Of Mir. Will sons friends were not fully realized. his defeat left no sting for the can- didate himself but rather a sharp re- buke to his willy opponent. And, much as we would like to have seen at the polls last Tuesday not only his election but the Democratic success of solid Congressional delegation from this State, there Is some comfort, at least, for. Connecticut Democrats in wrestling from the Republican col umn the seat so long held by Con- eressman Y. D. sperry in the Second District.
 As with the State ticket Judge Bald- win was the only Democrat elected to office, so on the Congressional side. Mayor T. |. Reilly of Msrdden, was alone saved from the burning. Bridge port could not directly help in his election, but he had no more ardent supporters in his own district than his loyal legion of local friends. who re- joiced exceedingly over his splendid victory No returns on election night were received here with more enthusi- astic demonstration of heartfelt ap- proval than those bearing on his in creasing majorities.
 Equipped with thorough newspa- per training and a great capacity for literary work. MT. Reilly put his wealth of energy and enthusiasm into the campaign, and all through his dis trict he was a close second to the Democratic Standard Bearer himself in discussing with unusual versatility the salient issues before the people. From the time he delivered his key note speech at New Haven to his closing address the night before cleo tion. popular Tom Reilly won his au- diences by the force of his eloQuence, earnestness, sincerity and argumenta- tive logic, and the favorable impres- in his opponents own town, pressaged the success that crowned his efforts at the polls.
 And especially gratifying must it nave been for Mayor Reilly to receive that handsome endorsement in his own city, where he is so well known and liked and where he ran HOO votes ahead of his ticket.
 The Farmer joins with his large cir cle of Bridgeport friends in extending warmest congratulations to Congress 1nan-Elect Reilly and expressing the sincere wish that his service in Con gress will meet the same vote of con- fidence from his constituents in the Second District that has been accord ed his triple term as the chief execu- tive of Meriden's municipality.

Congressman Hill attributed his near-defeat to the staying-at-home of some 10000 voters. Possibly he may recognize the feat that neither the weather nor constitutional inertia in- fluenced these voters; he cannot but realize that their failure to turn out and support him, is in effect a very plain disapproval of his record in Con- gress. It may be interpreted as a warning to him to become more Pro- gressive, with a rather more than hinted penalty of the 10000 voting against him upon the next opportun- ity

 NOW SPOKEN OF
New Haven Movement to Present His Name to Leg
 islature for U. S. Senator

New Haven, Nov. 12-There is a movement on foot, originating with members of the Butterworth Progress sive Republican club, for the placing of the former Senator's name in nom 1nation as candidate for the United States Senate from this State. The idea is to present Butterworth's name to the legislature when it assemblies at Hartford next January as a com promise candidate-in the event of probable deadlock between Senator Bulkeley and former Governor Me Lean. It Is by no means certain here among the friends of Senator Butterworth that he would consent to the use of his name in such a case but they are determined to put his name forward if possible.

The opposition to the candidacy of Hon. Stiles Judson for president pro- tenn. of the Senate, referred to by the Courant. is quite probably the first move of the public service corpora tions. They doubtless fear that, in constructing the Senate committees, he would see to it that the interests of the people are given proper consid- eration.

F'inger-print evidence has long served as a basis for so-called detective stories" It now appears for the first time in courts as the decisive factor in the conviction of an Illinois negro for murder. The murderer rested his hand on freshly painted porch rail- ing, and experts found 8 points of similarity between the porch-railing imprint and three fingers of one hand of the accused. We are strongly in- clined to doubt the sufficiency of such evidence, unless assured that among the people of this country there is no other hand which would develop the same 33 points of similarity, a point obviously impossible of proof

The very prompt statement that Frederick A. Scott of Plymouth is the slated candidate for Speaker of the House, and that Fillmore s. Banks ot Fairfield is to be chairman of the Judiciary committee and Republican leader on the floor, recalls previous years when almost before the close of the polls announcements of states for these positions were made. and afterwards it was found that the selections were made. not in the in- terest of the people but in that of special-privilege corporations. Should the present ''slate'' be confirmed, sim liar results may possibly follow-in fact, we believe that they will

an offense to be late 1t is unforgivable

COLONEL AMES
WAS ACQUITTED
OF Principal Charge Against Him, But
Convicted of Conduct Unbecom-
ing an officer.
(Bg Associated PreSS.)

Manila, Aug. 16-F'indings in the
case of Lieut.. Col. Robert F. Ames,
who was court-martialed following the
investigation of the suicide at his
home of Lieut.. Clarence M. Janney,
were published here today.
Lieut.. Col. Ames was acquitted on
the principal charge, which was con-
duct unbecoming an officer and pre1u-
dicial to military discipline, but was
found guilty of drunkenness and SEN
fenced to a loss of twelve numbers
in his relative rank in the army.
Lieut.. Janney and his wife quar-
relied at the home of Col. Ames, the
fuss ending in Janney's committing
suicide Much talk followed, and
there were hints of scandal until the
court martial was held.
