! 1T6enW1Cu, OcC- ZU-1HOlcdIlOHS III this town are that there will be 1 thoroughly complete cleanup in the next election. Since the forces of Judge R. J. Walsh were cleaned out | a few days ago. the conviction has slowly come home to the voters that l the lgood old railroad monopoly is | bound to win, no matter how it goes. As a result of this belief it is likely | that Greenwich will send Democratic l representatives to the General Assem- F. The walsh forces had n nominated sf- | las B. Mead and Joseph H. lockwood
 for representatives It was generally 1 eley in the poll for United States Sen ator. in Republican caucus, when the next assembly convened
 railroad forces, got together and made
 an appeal to the Republican insurg- ents, of whom there are many Tn communication rates. The insurgents put the anti Walsh ticket through by | a vote of two to one. Percy Adams, | insurgent candidate for representative got 314 votes and Walter M. Ander- 1 son. insurgent got sos votes.
 Mead had 1s6 votes and Lockwood IA. It was 1 o'clock in the morning before the result was declared.
 The situation in Greenwich is rep resented by the statement of Henry Dayton, a leading man of the town, who said:
 The atmosphere seems somewhat clarified. This is gathering of the
 I see some prominent women before me as well. I do not know who are l to be nominated here tonight, but It is in the interest of one gentleman that ann on my feet. Something has been said about the railroad here to- night. A short time ago the company increased it's communication rates 4S per cent and the regular fares as well. What does it mean2 The company in vites the people to come to Greenwich and build, and then puts up their rates so high that young business man has to pay out nearly all of his salary to the company. I know of one young lady who was obliged to give up her position as stenographer. because the rates were so high. Look at the tel ephones. To telephone to Sound
 Beach, we have to go through Stam- Port Chester and North Greenwich. The company should give the town these facilities. The school commit tee wanted to install telephones in the schools of our town, and what happen ed? No arrangement could be made. The company said they must be put
 reach one of our schools in East Port Chester or Sound Beach without pay
 ing the regular rates. We want men to go to the Legislature who can face the foe for such purposes, and If wounded be wounded in the face and not in the back. The Electric Light
 Company ruins some of our trees in town by cutting holes in them These wires should all be under ground On- ly a short time ago the company put
 hanhole right in front of mans resi- dence. We want men to represent us
 who will do what they are sent to do, |
 men who will dare stand up and say
 that MT. Macdonald, the celebrated Highway COmnnissiene1-, has not given
 a good road from Greenwich to
 Stamford Some of our citizens visited
 MT. MacD0nald by appointment, a

 return. and then received an evasiye
 answer and returned home. I rode
 over this rocky road to Dublin" only
 yesterday, and that road could not |
 compare with the Post Road between |
 Greenwich and Stamford. I wouldn't 1
 like to stand on the Post Road and
 great commonwealth of the New Ha- |
 ven road. It is about time we had
 men to represent us and if we are go- |
 ing to have these things get them
 Much to the disgust of the Republi- 1
 can insurgents who assisted in oust- |
 ing the Bu1keley men, it has become
 known that the voters jumped from
 the frying pan into the fire. It is real l
 ized that the old guard in Greenwich |
 voted with the railroad whenever oc-
 casion arose, but it is certain that | party conducted by notorious lobby | ists of the same monopoly will always
 vote with the road.
 Hence, for relief. Republicans of light and leading are turning to Judge Baldwin and the Democratic ticket.
 They believe that the Democratic
 General Assembly, with Judge Bald | win in the governors chair, affords the best prospect of house cleaning in the state, and a state government con- ducted in the interest of the people.
 It is probable also that there will be a heavy vote for Lynn W. Wilson, the Democratic candidate for Congress
 man, from Republican sources. the first being the notorious connection of MT. Hill, the Republican candidate, with the railroad forces as represented by the legislative agents who are man. aging Mir Goodwins campaign, and the second being his attitude on inn portant railroad legislation before the 6fst Congress in which all the towns in this vicinity were interested
