PRESS COMMENTS
 ON NOMINATION JUDGE BAL OWN
BALDWIN FOR GOVERNOR.

 Waterbury AnhericanA
 It was a familiar comment years ago, if anybody criticised the Dem- ocratic party, to say that it always chose candidates better than itself Its rank and file has been for half a century considered inferior by the rank and file of the Republicans. But in old days at least. it's candidates lectual qualities to those the Repub- licans put against them. In those, days such nomination as that of Judge Baldwin for Governor would be welcomed as that of a man suited for leadership whom it was an honor and a duty for faithful Democrats to joice in his distinguished ancestry, in the fact that he had father and grandfathers in high executive and judicial offices in the state, and they would have been proud of his per sonal fame, testifying that he was a worthy descendant of great men. Will the Democrats of today so re- gard him2 That is a question which many doubt. If they. do and the Democratic party Loyalty votes for him to man there is a chance, not for showing that the Democratic par ty is coming up, is rising to it's op- portunities, and will be a force that must be reckoned with in the clash of elements and interests that is at hand.
 We give elsewhere some comments on the nomination. They all show II1dL GI10 IS 1IISpEoacHdD1S in character and of unquestioned in tellectual power. There is some dis trust of his popularity. Best of all, there is certain conviction that he will not truck1e for favor or bargain for votes. That is the kind of man any party ought to prefer. But it is es- pecial1y the kind of man the Demo- crats need in their present condition, when they seek to recoverA power in : a state< of conservative thought and slow change like this.
 The party platform is progressive for Connecticut and would lead us forward toward the advanced ground which parts of the West have al Baldwin will discuss it's blanks in de- tail with a thoroughness and cour- age such as make President Taft's papers so satisfactory and convincing. There will be no glittering generalities and no lodging. He-is a man of serious thinking who speaks carefully and positively and reaches definite conclusions.
 Democrats everywhere are asking each other what kind of a man he is who was nominated in New Haven with an enthusiasm that hasn't been shown in years. Is he man to inspire warm feeling and compel us to get out and work and .fholler''? lead the party to victory, in spite Of the enthusiasm he excited. Baldwin is more like Ti1den, Cleveland, 1nger- solI who won victories and whose achievements ought to make Demo- crats eager to try again the orderly methods of sobriety, reason and de- sert.

The Hartford Courant which sup ports Goodwin and claims a majority of the delegates for him, evidently realizes the danger of a loss of votes between now and "Wednesday. The question, it says, 'is simply whether enough can be induced to leave him and turn their backs on their promises and their friends, it being claimed that this conversion can be accom- pl1shed." Senator Bulkeley whose campaign for, re-electioh is bound up with that of Lake for Governor, and whose chances would practically van ish in the event of Goodwin s. success, is a wonderful and, it is said, very liberal persuader. But, what will be the ultimate fate of delegates chosen as favoring Goodwin, and then turn ing to Lake under the nersuasions of Bulkeley and his agents?

A WHOLLY CAUTIOUS CRITICISM

The objection that it is not suffic- iently radical in favor of a pub lie utilities commission. is raised against the Democratic. platform. This criticism is of captious character.
 The platform declares for stan effec- tive public utilities commission; the word effective is worth more than a column of bombast.
 It favors election Of the members. by the. people. The question is, whether they shall be appointed by. the Cover nor, or by the Legislature, or chosen by the people. With Judge Baldwin could be safely conferred upon that office; with either. Lake or Goodwin as Chief Executive it could not, with assured safety. With the power of selection vested in the Legislature, the appointments would be determined in partisan caucus, and there would be little or no confidence in them. What recourse is Jeff? Only, election by the people, as favored by the Democratic platform.
 The platform demands that the pub lie shall .'at all times be assured of protection against the possible greed of the inpersonal corporations.' What more can be asked?
 A political platform cannot cover all the details of any DEoposed public measure It can only deal in a. gen. eraI way with such matters. The Democratic platform covers the public utilities question in such general way, and it's substance-an that/ need be said-is found in the single word stef- fectfve.'' In addition, it declares for election by the people, which principle is as American as it is Democratic and Republican. and it demands pro lection of the people from the public service corporations-tha is. protec- tion from stock watering, from made quate service, from extortionate charges, from every evil that has been cited by the advocates of Q. public utilities commission.
 As above stated. the objection to the platform declaration as being insuffi- ciently radical is wholly captious; the wish to find it insufficient was evil dently father to the thought.

A VANISHED DREAM.
 (Hartford TimesA

The gentlemen who have pictured Judge Baldwin as an aged recluse, a hide-bound conservative, a scholar who knows nothing of politics and cannot bear the annoyances of a cam paign, may as well revise their opin- ions at once. They cannot help it if they read his speech to the convention when he accepted the Democratic nom ination for Governor. His first words were: This is the first time for near 1y eighteen years that I have had an opportunity to speak my mind at a political gathering" In fact eighteen years ago he was the president of the State Democratic club. He retired from politics when he was made judge, and he has lost little time in showing his active interest since his re- tireraent from the bench.
 When he made his speech of accept ance he went straight at reasons for dissatisfa ction with Republican power as it now exists. favor to special in terests, unnecessary expenditures, us- ing it, in his own words, ttas if they would turn a republic into an empire'' Some of those who had adopted the theory of a mild recluse must have gasped when they heard or read the
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-09-12

words: essThe people are tired of the Republican party-tired of it's sweet content in living on the canned repu- tation of what it was fifty years ago" And what will such think of this, which follows the declaration that. the influence of Connecticut at Washing ton is small in comparison with that of larger States with many more rep resentatives, and must grow still smaller relatively as they increase?E
 .tIt is our first business to keep what we have got-got under. the. constitu- ton of the United States. But all the power of the federal government is given in the constitution of the United States and strictly defined by the con- stitution of the United States
 s.It can be increased through execu= tive or legislative or judicial action, by usurpation of what the people have reserved to themselves and in no other five of the Democratic party are against such usurpati ton. against a policy of imperial capitalization. We stand for broad, local self-government. We of the small States, whatever our politics in-ether respects, must stand for that, or we lose our best inherit anee from our fathers
 Those who professed to fear that by association or indifference or in some other. unexplained Way Judge Baldwin will prove to be a friend of the special interests as against the public interest were shocked at this:
 Above all things, the Democratic
 
 for granting no favors to special in terests, but treating everybody alike, before the law.
 'Let us have 9 party in power that makes no promises that it does not redeem Can the Republican party of Connecticut say that they have re- deemed all theirs?"
 When they ponder these and other things they will find every indication that the candidate the Democrats have nominated knows perfectly well what he@means by Democracy and that his view isA thoroughly practical. He is an authority on party principles, but his work at present lis to apply them to actual conditions, to reform just such abuses as the Republicans in power have refused to reform. And he is right in assuming that they will not be amended at present if the Re publican power remains such as it has been for years.
 That favorite conception of man a1oof from practical life and unfit by disposition or training to bear the an noyances of a campaign will have to vanish like the Mowers of yester-year. Such as have put their trust in it will find that they have strong man to deal with, and if all goes well strong party back of him.

INDIANS AND BULLETS.

A Sample of the Strenuous Life en kehtuosy IF. 1777.
 In TIT, while Harrodsburg, ky, was so beset with Indians that the inhabitants were in straits for daily bread, young man, only sixteen years old, made himself extremely useful by venturing out of the fort before day break and returning with load of game after 4rightfall. This intrepid youth was James Ray, afterward Gen. eral Ray.
 One day in the year just mentioned Ray and another young man were shooting at a mark near the fort when the second man was suddenly shot down by the Indians. Ray looked in the direction whence the shot had come. saw the enemy and was on the point of raising his rife when he was set upon by another band who had crept near. him unseen.
 He took to his heels and, being a quick runner. reached the fort amid a shower of bullets. but the gates were shut, and the men inside were so frightened that they dared not open them. Finding himself shut out, Ray threw himself fiat on the ground in the rear of a stump, and here, perhaps seven steps from the fort and within sight of his mother, \he lay for four hours. while the bullets of the Indians tore up the ground on either side of him.
 At last he grew impatient and called out to the garrison:
 "For heavens sake, dig hole under the cabin wall and take me inr'
 The men inside set to work imme- diately. and the brave young hunter was speedily safe inside the fort

sought the office, then their case is hopeless and the state is republican beyond redemption.
 It looked at one time as if the con yention might listen to the vote of dissension. First came the suggestion of Bridgeport, that Mayor Bucking- ham, fine young man, be the nominee, but it did not have suffi- cient backing to be really alarming. It was feared, however, that it would receive, sufficient support to cause Judge Baldwin to decline because of a lack of unaninity for himself. This coupled with the action of Mayor be comforted and who in the end placed the name of George M. Gum of Milford before the convention, evi- dently without his consent, caused the real sensation of the day. Mayor Fisher would not yield gracefully to the wishes of delegates and when the vote was taken on the nomination of Judge Baldwin he voted mo- so as to prevent it from being unanimous. There is always some one to take that position at every big meeting. He usually has a stentorian voice and uses it to it's full limit in shouting '.no" on an important vote. He IS but the identification was complete at. New Haven yesterday and Mayor Fisher is no doubt welcome to all the glory he got out of it. \
 An effort was made to create. op- position to Judge Baldwin because of his public addresses and decisions g1V- en While on the Dench, 1t DelnS d11eS- ed that they were in opposition to labor. Dean Rogers in making the nominating speech, gave an intelligent explanation of this question He told that it Vas Judge Baldwin's busi- ness to pass on the law as he found it and could not be held responslDle for the action of the legislature Which made the law. Courts cannot do oth- erwise if they are fair, than to decide a question in accordance with the ev1- dence submitted and if a legislature enacts a statute that will not stand the scrutiny of the highest court in the state then the fault is with those who made the law and not upon those We fancy that more of this will be heard during the caanpaign but there able objection can be made.

that ''the non1inati@ is an immense credit to the Democratic party, and Judge Baldwin's great eninence as a jurist and a citizen, his irreproach- able Character, his absolute detach- ment from the great interests which are today the bete noir of our politics. and his unrivaled capacity to serve the State in the office of chief execu- tive should bring home with special fierce to every voter in the State that Connecticut now has an exceptional opportunity to honor herself as well as one of the most distinguished of her sons.
 The New York Evening Post says that the Democratic campaign is flor the election of a man of the highest intellectual and moral qualifications, a man who, if chosen Governor, will be sure, to give to the State service of great and enduring value", and that Democratic victory would be a great contribution "to the cause of sound government in State and Nation.''
 It would seem from the nature of the1r comments that each of the Re publican journals quoted from .= is bound morally at least, ito support Judge Baldwin for Governor-that the case is one in which political consider ations should be shunted aside

GENERAL CONTAMINATION BY
 THE PRESS,

The nomination of Judge Baldwin for Governor, is generally received with commendation by the newspapers of both parties. We do not recall a time when any Democratic nomination was thus received by Republican jour- na1s. It is really case of compul- sion with them; they could give noth- ing but commendation.
 The New Haven Journal Courier says s'the office sought him. and not him the office, and -z.no intelligent man for a moment questions his abil- dty, his integrity or his courage.''
 The Waterbury Republican states that Gin the possession of intellectual force and high personal character he is not exceIled in the State.''
 The Bridgeport Telegram declares that "the wisest and most far-seeing members of both parties should unite to render his election a certainty"
 The New London Telegraph-''Hfs personality is not magnetic but it is sound and true to the hearts core"
 New Haven Union-"'In his election will be insured an honest, fearless. progressive. economical adminfstra- tion.'.
 New Britain Herald-sNo one will question his fitness for further public duty.,'
 The Bridgeport Standard states that '.in nominating Judge Baldwin for Governor. the Democrats have done credit to themselves

Did not Sheriff Haw1ey have enough opposition, in the Republican party to satisfy even the most unsuitable appe- tite for antagonisms, without putting into the Judson-Banks contest in the 18th district? Did he consider such interference a. part of his duties as county boss? Had he become fearful of Banks increasing prominence? Or was the ~butting into a contest in which he, could have no direct personal interest and over which he had no legitimate Jurisdiction, merely an out break of temperamenta1 addiction to officious neddHng?
