STATE POLITICS

With one Senatorial district and 30 towns to hear from, having altogether 45 nominations to make. the Hartford Courant CMcLean organ) classes the PAS nominations already made as 163 for Mclean and S5. Gncluding all not definitely placed) for BulkeIey. Ac- cording to these figures, if all the nom ed by Bulkeley, Mclean would still lead by 22. But no one can now tell how many of either the Mclean or Bulkeley nominees will be elected.
 The Republicans of the Both district have nominated James A. Doughty of Torrington for Senator, and ''recom- nended" that, if elected, he shall vote for Mclean.
 tatives: Wilton, Theodore O1nstead; i; sharon, George S. Kirby and Arthur w. Lamb-both instructed for Me Lean; Barkhamsted, Ebert L. Bunnell and Burton Tiffany-both for Me Lean; Cornwall, Charles ". Hart and Richard Palmer; Kent; George M. Page.
 Democratic nominations for repre- sentatives: Colebrook, Wm. B. Will lis and Walker Clerigan; Danbury, Martin German and Charles w. Mur- phy-
 George Wakeman has been nominat- ed for judge of probate by the Repub- lcan convention of the district of Dan bury and New Fairfield. MT. Wake man is a Democrat and the present clerk of the probate court.
 The Greenwich Graphic says that a Young Mems Republican Club'' was organized a week ago in Greenwich and that it selected as candidates for the House Walter M. Anderson and Percy D. Adams. and put the nomina- tions through the Republican caucus Thursday night by vote of about 3O8 to 1855.
 The Hartford Times figures the Bulkeley-McLean figures in the con test for the U. s. Senatorshfp as fol- lows:
 Senator Bulkeley .....................1 .113 governor Mclean, -....------.....-.- I8 Representatives to be nominated.... 97
 Of the ninety-seven members of the general assembly to be nominated it is said that Senator Bulkeley will have ffty-eight and Governor Mclean tfir- ty-seven. If the estimate is correct the standing of the two candidates will be when all the nominations are made:

Two years ago, the Connecticut Re publican convention refused to send Senator Bulke1ey to the National con- vention of their party. The delegates lacked confidence in his judgment as to the construction of the Presidential ticket. Present Indications are that the party does not desire his return to the Senate, and that his reelection can only be secured by such signi1canF eleventh-hour changes as elected Bran degee over Hill in 1909 and as changed Lake majority into a~ success for Goodwin this year.
 But the present Senatorial situation differs from that of 1909. Never before in the writer's memory have men classsed as agents of the railroad com pany worked so openly as they are now endeavoring to secure the election of Mclean.
 Hasn't the Republican party any bettetr timber for the US. Senate than Bulkeley who was not good enough for a national delegate in 1908, or Mo Lean who is evidently expected, if elect ed, to become tool of the railroads?

A MOST GRorEsouE ABsuRD1rY.

It would be difficult to conceive a greater absurdity than the nomination for State Senator of a man who fla vors Bulkeley for U. S. Senator, with instructions that he shall, if elected, vote for Mclean. Yet that is precise ly what the Republicans of the 21st district did. The evident purpose was to profit, in the interest of Mclean by the personal popularity of a Bulkeley supporter. There could be no other purpose. Neither the public utilities question, nor the issues relative to en- ployers' liability, S5, GOO death limit, etc, though more important to the people than the election of either Bulkeley or Mclean, had any place in the plans of the managers of this pe- culiar move in the 21st district. And very significantly, MT. Goodwin, Re publican nominee for Governor, is credited with having exercised a po- tential influence in securing the e1eventh-heur withdrawal of Gould, and the nomination of a man bound by Instruction to vote contrary to his own Judgment.
 The hand of John T. King appeared also in the matter. In fact, it has not only appeared here, in his home city but also throughout the county, first for Goodwin for Governor second, for Mclean for Senator, incidentally ever for the railroad, but never as might Ee expected from his affiIia tions for an effective public utilities commission for just employers liability bill, or q repeal of the $5,O GOO death limit. As 2dr. Gould who effaced himself and his ambitions, at the instance of Messrs. Goodwin and King and also accord ing to current report, of Congressman Hill, said in an Interview. Saturday, Whenever John T. King makes a move, there is a well defined purpose behind it." in this 21st district move the evident purpose of MT. King was personal strength of a Bu1ke1ey man. 8 very keen move. This policy, appa- rentIy of railroad inspiration, has been pursued by MT. King throughout the county until he now ranks as a coun- ty boss, and such other bosses as Hawley and Banks are inclined to ask. Upon what meat has this, our Caesar, fed that he has grown so great. But really, they know the ans wer-the railroad is a most excellent purveyor.
 But, whatever the final effect of these very peculiar proceedings in the 21st district, the appearance is of most grotesque absurdity.

The renonination of Probate Judge Nobbs by the Republicans, is one of the very few pluns granted by the new boss of Bridgeport Republican ism, MT. King, to the "Old Guard,'' or as the former managers of the New York Republicans are called, the Black Horse Cavalry" Judge Nobbs first appeared in local politics as the protege of leading member of the s.Old Guard and 4ae has ever since held it's favor. He is not of the Young Republicans" although said to have been promised the aid of Boss King. n~?S1 RiEY
 The Farmer has no campaign mud to throw at / Judge Nobbs; it isn't necessary. He hasn't tfthe ghost of a chance'' of election. The district is

The Massachusetts ballot invites dis crimination between rival candidates by requiring each voter to make the voting mark for each candidate fla vored by him-that is, he cannot. by placing the ''x'' mark at the head of a ticket, vote that entire ticket. as in this State. But the Connecticut vo- ter can, if he so desires, discriminate after placing the t'X'' over a ticket, by also using the 'tx'' in connection with names upon other tickets.

Do you want a Car, alias, governor
to rule over this fair state of South
Dakota, where home rule is the rule
and not an exception?
Do you want licensed embalmers?
Do you want a military law like
that of Germany Tor Russia) in this
state? where the kaiser or car or
governor is the supreme god over the
lives and property of his subjects?
This is a free country which leads
all others in the movement for uni.
versal peace and the military laws
we have are good enough as they
are. Militaryism is the polished word
for barbarism and when the masses
of all nations gSt some sense pound
ed into their craniums the military
laws will likewise be smitten from
their statutes.
Do you want the state divided into
two congressional districts?
This is a condensed out inc of that
much feared ballot. We give it to
upon his time, and on occasions his
business affairs, which naturally have
our readers for all its worth.

During the days of general prosper
ity and plenty when the farmer is
looking for a place on his fifteen
thousand dollar farm to store his
grain for higher prices; the mer-
chant taking another "wad" of
greenbacks to the depository of the
home bank; the laborer with a smile
on his face making his two and two
fifty per day and more, and the edi-
tor--but that's another story which
has no place under this caption and
t throughout the country everywhere,
the sun shines brighter and warmer
there seems TO be a gloom spreading
over the countenanca of voters, in
cited by that "six-foot" ballot talk.
Nov, we have measured the ballot
'and find it to be 6 fest 4 inches. The
Objectionable thing On the "6-foot"
ballot is the military law; the others
are short and comprehensive enough
for the average voter. But to make
it more simple, the ballot is asking
the voters this:
DO you want prohibition?
Do you want electric headlights on
all railroad engines? (The editor re-

the St. Wenceslaus School would
open the 18th of Sept. which was
erroneous. There are at present
much needed Improvements being
made in the school; such as re
placing fallen plasthr, new floor
in certain rooms, ETC. which tact
would make the opening inconve-
nient and disagreeable to teach
ers and pupils alike. The exact
day, when teaching will be resum-
ed will be duly announced in these
columns. No doubt the errone-
Gus announcement placed the ia
Guilty Of the school as well as pu-
pills into embarrassment but
mistakes will happen.
Some democratic newspapers IN
the state are calling attention to
that portion of the sIx-toot ballot
covering the proposed amend
ment of the constitution removing
the limit on taxation. Now. we
have studied the ballot and find
no such measure thereon. This
measure. as we remember, was re-
terended and defeated in 1908 by
5000, the total vote beng 10000
which shows that many voted Tor
this backyard measure through
ignorance. However, 1t was then
and there defeated and that set
ties It.

James J. Hin at the Corn Palace

Mitchell citizens are congratulating
themselves upon the fact that James
j. Hill has promised to appear on the
opening program at the Corn Palace,
Monday afternoon, September 26th>
at which time he will deliver an adj
dress, the exact subject of which has
not yet been indicated.
Mr.. Hill has a great many demands
the preference, take him away from
home and the possibility of such a
condition is the only string attached
to his promise.
1t is a safe prediction that Mr..
Hill will have something of excep-
tional interest to say to his audience
on this occasion and it Is our opinion
that the Corn Palace management has
been exceedingly fortunate in obtain.
those who so TO hear him will not be
disappointed.
Judging from reports as we'll as
from the advertising the. Mitchell
people are putting out, Corn Palace
visitors, this year, will get their mon
ey's worth several times over, and
Mitchell has one more demonstrated
her ability to make good. Incident,
ally, it is quite pertinent to comment,
right here, on the fact that there is
one price, only at the Corn Palace.
Fifty cents admits you to the whole
show. In other places this IS only
the beginning of the cost for a show
If equal merit.
