The war department is determined
to increase the efficiency Of the origi-
nal militia of the country and to make
it, so far as it possibly can, as eff
cient as the regular troops. 1t is not
to be expected that body Of men
who meet only once a week for drill
purposes can become as well disci-
plined as those who drill every day in
the week. but they strive to attain
the high standing set for them by
the regulars. The war department
commencing last year, detailed train
ed regular army non-commissioned
officers to the different states to act
in the capacity Of instructors. It is
their plan to have each company in
the state in turn and to make the
rounds as often as possible.
During the weeks that the regular
army instructors are quartered with
militia company, there is a weeks
drill for the company. Non-commfs-
stoned officers school is held three
nights Of the week and there is COM
pany drill in which each Of the mili-
tia non-coms are trained II. the man
nerof Hing q company, n squads,
in platoons and in company fashion.
Guard mount and other ceremonies
are ;rehearsed and everything possi-
BILE Is done to bring the militiamen
to a higher standard of proficiency.
At the non-commissioned offlcers'
schools great attention is paid to the
drill manual and field service regula-
tions. Work has also been begun in
q small way upon militia map sketch
Ing and military map reading.

POINTMENTS

DEMOCRATIC AP-
POINTMENTs
The figures of the votes cast In
/ the June primary election show some
interesting facts. The claims Of the
Democratic candidate for governor
are that he is the popular choice Of
the people irrespective Of party and
upon this basis he proposes to break
down party lines. An analysis Of the
election returns will show that as
popular candidate the democratic
leader is at least fourth in the race.
In the June primaries johnson for
governor received 20,591 votes; Bu-=
chanan 1906 Aaker 1880; Viii
son ,OO4, and stimmel 1885, maxi
ing a total OF 56,,376 voters who par
ticipated in the republican primary.
The democratic candidate received in
that primary 9.770 votes. He re-
ceived less than Is per cent Of the.
vote cast by the two parties. Mr..
johnson received more than thirty
one percent of the same total, or more
thanstwice the percentage Of the dem
socratic candidate. Three candidates
in the primary received more votes
than the democrat, and yet ne IS
making his campaign on the grounds
that his choice represents q popular
upheaval. 5
Such contention is reflection
upon the political honesty and intel
ltgence not only of the twenty thous-
and voters who voted for G. "A. John
son. but likewise upon the thirty
thousand others who voted for other
candidates, and who like honest men
are ready. to accept. majority rule.
Had Mr.. Aaker or Mr.. Buchanan
been the republican choice, the DEM
ocratic candidate would have made
the same contention. Thus the theory
that republicans should vote for the
Z democratic candidate because he Is
the popular choice, when subjected

fence of the extreme high prices as due to conditions prevalent abroad as well as here, to increased gold produc- tion, augmented population. scarcity, etc, etc, did not deceive the people. An attempt to attribute the decreased prices to the cheapness of corn is be- ;Ii- made, but the extraordinary size of the crop and it's low market price were as well known before the election as now, yet the reduction in the prices of meats did not come until after the election when the handwriting on the walP' became very legible.
 That handwriting pointed to a Dem ocratic House, and to close Senate in which Democrats and, Progressives might combine and force the passage of bill repeating the tariff duties on meats. But this very desirable pur- pose cannot be effected until the next Congress assemblies in December, 1911. It is a more immediate danger which may have inspired the reduced prices. That danger is that the present Con gress may forestall the action of the next Congress, in the hope of checking the popular resentment against the dominant party. It may even be that the Beef Trust has received notice that the Republican party can no longer carry it and must abandon the policy of caring carefully for it's in- terests. or meet with further and greater disa sters
 If the recent Democratic victories should have no other effect than to virtually force the Beef Trust to re- duce it's arbitrarily high prices, and to compel the Republican party to abandon its fostering care of this trust, those who voted the winning tickets may consider their action fully justi- fled

H. WALTER WEBB
 TAKES A BRIDE
Married by Stamford Justice to Miss Constance Eastman,
 the Actress.

New York, Nov. 16-H Walter Webb announced last night his marriage to Miss Constance Eastman, an actress, who appeared last season with Mont gomery and Stone in '"The Old Town at the Globe Theatre.
 The marriage took place, according to MT. Webb, on Nov. 8. The cere- mony was performed by Justice of the Peace ripple of Stamford, Conn. MT. Webb said that the ceremony had not been placed on record becaus ? he had requested otherwise until a religious ceremony could be perform ed. Mir Webb is a Protestant and Miss Eastman a Catholic.
 The delay in the marriage an- nouncement as we'll as the religious ceremony, MT. Webb said, was due to the fact that his mother-in-law was ill
 Announcement of the marriage came as a surprise to MT. Webb's friends, for the secret of his engagement had been carefully kept. He had been att tentive to Miss Eastman. it is said, for two years. or from about the time he was graduated from Yale. He is 24 years old, and his bride is young CT.
 MT. Webb is closely related to the Vanderbilt family. His father. the late Henry Walter Webb, was a brother of Major G. Creighton Webb and Dr. W. Seward Webb. His moth CT. who died last January. was Miss Leila Howard Griswold. daughter of John A. Griswold. the Troy iron mer chant. who supplied the capital with which John Ericsson was enabled to build the Monitor.
 MT. Webb is we'll known in social life. He is a member of the Yale Union and Racquet Clubs, and before his marriage lived at Is East Fifty first Street. Mrs. Webb has been on the stage five years. She is said to resemble Edna May, and she receiv- ed very favorable notices when she took the part of the Vision in the Montgomery and Stone play last year. Her first stage exper' r'ence was in a minor part in a production in Chica- go, her native city. Coming to New v-rts she succeeded Anna Fitzhugh in Sergeant Bure." at the Casino .-eatre, and had several speaking parts. She was engaged two years ago by Charles B. Dillingham;.
 Her sister is Mrs. Walter Scheftel who also was on the stage at one time. In recent years Mrs. Schef- tel has appeared as an amateur darc- CT for char ties in which she is inter- ested. Until her marriage Mrs. Webb lived with her mother in an apart ment house at 542 Riverside Drive.

MAY NOT ATTEND THE CAUCUS

MAY NOT ATTEND THE CAUCUS.
 Current reports are to the effect that the Bulkeley representatives-elec will refuse to attend the Republican eau GUS, and will give as their reasons "treachery'' against Bulkeley candi- dates in the town elections and alleged corruption in town caucuses. How much, if any part of these charges is true, we do not know; possibly, it does not matter, for their mere statement either with or without evidence, would supply a sufficient pretext for a re- fusal to participate in the caucus or to be bound by it's action. Possibly, the Mclean managers may retort with similar charges against the Bulkeley agents, in which event the public would probably decide that both sides are "tarred with the same stick"
 With the Bulkeley Representatives and Senators refusing to attend the Republican caucus, the contest would go directly to the Legislature. with at saeast three candidates-McLean, BuIke- ley and Democrat, and with an inn probability of either receiving the nec- essary majority. With all standing firmlv. that would mean a deadlock, and several questions would arise.
 Would Bulkeley prefer the election of a Democrat to that of Mclean; would Mclean prefer Democrat over Bu1keley; would either Bulkeley or Mclean prefer the choice of a Pro- gressive if assured of his own defeat; would Democrats prefer Bulkeley over fAfcLean. or the reverse, or would they prefer the election of a Progressive?
 Under the conditions above cited, it will be the positive duty of Democratic members to support a Democratic can didate, at least until positively certain idhat he will not receive support from either of the Republican factions. Democrats who do not adopt this plan, will be marked men-marked as under suspicion at least of having mort gagged their action in return for Re- publican aid at the November cleo tion.
 Of course, the Democratic party would prefer the election of a genu- inc Progressive to that of Bulkeley who is known standpatter, or that of Mclean, for whose success men classed as corporate agents worked strenuously and are still afield-pro- vided a Democrat cannot be elected.

Children Cry FOR FlETCHER'S GA s TORI
STATE POLITICS

Prominent Republicans in the city of Norwalk who voted the Lake tick ct, otherwise the straight Democratic ballot. have been doing considerable shouting after election. Some of these have been supported locally by the Republican party and it would be bet ter taste to keep it under cover. There were upwards of three hundreds of these ballots cast-Norwalk Hour.
 The election of Representative in Westport is to be contested by Will liam Wood, Democrat, who was de- feated by William H. Burr, by two votes. The contention of MT. Wood is that two ballots which were for him were ruled out as marked ballots, be- cause the cross on them looked as though it were double. The contention is that the pencil point had merely been broken.
 George Wakeman, Republican can- didate for Judge of the Probate dis trict of Danbury, will contest the cleo tion of Judge Eugene c. Dempsey. The latter was the Democratic can didate for reelection and won only by the narrow margin of eleven votes. George Wakeman. who has been clerk of the Probate office under Judge Dempsey wants the court to pass on some of the ballots that were reject ed by the moderators. There were 137 ballots rejected in Danbury and six. teen in New Fairfield. Clerk Wake man thinks the court might count some of the Republican ballots that were rejected by the moderators.

ORDERED ID ROUND UP
 TRUANT PUPILS

Acting upon the request of the board of education, the board of po- lice commissioners has instructed Supt. Birmingham to give special in structions to all policemen on duty during school hours, to secure the names and addresses of all children appearing to be within school age they may encounter on the streets.
 These names will be turned over by the superintendent to the truant officers for investigation. At present the city maintains two truant officers as a part of the police department, but their time is taken up entirely with the investigation of the eases of children whose names are given to them by the public school teachers. At the last meeting of the board of education it was stated that there are doubtless many children who have escaped the registration list of the board of education. It will be through the aid of the policemen that these names will be compiled ana the recreant youngsters will then be made to avail themselves of the ad- vantageS of education.

the prevention of burglaries in resi- dential districts. The dogs are train ed to respect the police uniform, and to skirt the homes of the policeman's beat. When they discoverer a sus- picious character lurking about the houses. the dogs set upon him. and are trained to throw the suspect by tripping him, displaying wonderful skill in impeding escape until the ar- rival of the uniformed man.
 The project of repairing the now useless red light system, which in- cludes four signal boxes located in the center of the city by which po- licemen are notified to get into~com- munication with police headquarters was postponed until the next fiscal years budget becomes available, as was the proposition of laying police signal wires from Gilbert to Golden Hill streets. underground
 The commissioners instructed Supt. Birmingham to take vigorous steps towards the prosecution of automobil- ists who fail to display front and rear lights.
 Commissioner Miller reported that the third Precinct station roof was full of holes and the board acting upon his recommendation voted to withhold it's rent from Landlord Chas Fleming until repairs are made.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER IS. 1910.
NOW "UP TO- SENATOR HUDSON.

Among the worst sins of the Repub- 7hcan Legislature of 1909 was that emasculation of the corrupt practices act. which prevented. or was invoked to prevent, investigation of the Easton and westport, Second Congressional district, and Republican State conven- ton scandals. It is believed by some close observers that the emasculation was planned to pave the way for the use of corporate funds in the nomf- nation and election of legislators who could be relied upon to prevent the enactment of any satisfactory public untilities bill. The emasculation could not have been accomplished so quietly and dextrously without the aid of the Judiciary committee.
 That committee was constructed by Speaker Banks. and it may be recalled [ that his selection of Burns of Green wich for chairman was a surprise. and also that the committee evinced de- icided leanings toward the corporate cause.
 Now. Judge Banks is representa- tive-elect, and seems to be slated for ieither reelection to the Speakership, tor appointment as chairman of the Judiciary committee. which carries the leadership of the majority in the House. Does this mean a repetition ] of the policy of 1909?
 It may be recalled that, during the srontest for the Republican nomination in the 18th Senatorial district between Messrs. Judson and Banks, the former expressed a doubt of the sincerity of the latter in declaring himself in favor of a public utilities bill. and based that doubt upon MT. Banks record in the Legislature, but did not go into details If he would now make those details public. it might possibly serve the useful purpose of saving the State Business Mems Association from a hostile Judiciary committee.
 It seems up to- ~Senator-elect Jud- son to let the full sunlight of publicity into this matter.

city it's annual payment for service and give a net profit of g per ton thus more than defraying the expense of collection. MT. Wheelwright's pro- position was dismissed, as the city has no funds available for a municipal reduction plant. His check of $1,OOO was voted to the city treasurer for collection.
 Mir. Fischer appeared to have the garbage situation we'll in hand. He said he was familiar with the contract the city had made with Wheelwright and that the same was satisfactory to him. His process, he said would reduce the garbage in a sanitary and odorless way. He pointed cut with regard to the question of odors that the garbage being hauled to his plant could not be odorless, but argued that once in his plant all odor would be killed.
 Dorr R. Whitney. the real estate man who had arranged for the pur- chase of the Ash Creek site for Wheel wright, attended the meeting of the Board last night and he and MT. Fischer entered into earnest confer ence after the board adjourned The site is owned by George w. Finn.

FISCHER TAXES
 UP ABANDONED GARBAGE CONTRACT

Charles C. Fischer, the York, Pa. garbage contractor. began negotia- tions today to secure a site for his proposed garbage reduction plant in this c.ty, both with the Bridgeport By-Products Co. for its plant now par tially dismantled plant in Asylum street, and with property owners in others parts of the city.
 MT. Fischer was awarded the con- tract for the reduction of Bridgeports garbage for 10 years, at S1 per ton, at a meeting of the Board of Health last night, when he rendered a 1,000 draft as a guarantee of good faith. Under his arrangement with the Board of Health. Fischer agrees to post bond of $10,O00 and to secure a sat- isfactory ste within 30 days
 Charles H. Wheelwright, President of the American Extractor O. Df Providence, wired the President of the Board, Dr. George E. Ober. late yesterday that he could not fulfill his contract. He rendered the city an of fer under which he would supervise the erection of a plant for 10 per cent of its cost, and would give the city a perpetual license to use the Wheel wright patented process for garbage reduction. Wheelwright's telegram stated that his offer would save the

Now that the elections are over. and the results known. it has become recognized fact that "staadpattism'' Is on the wane anc can onry De continued as a ruling policy at the probable cost of further disaster to the Republican party, with a climax in the President ial election of 1912. At least one of the big trusts has already taken alarm and reduced the prices which have enabled B per cent. dividends by one of it's members. Wholesale prices of beef, pork and poultry have dropped, and it is predicted that retail prices will decline about p per cent. so soon as dealers can work off the stock pur- chased at the former high prices. Thus much has the Democratic attack upon the high cost of living already accomplished, and there is doubtless more to come. The Republican de-
