It is very early yet to nominate Democratic Presidential candidates for 1912, but the process Is in desultory
 progress, principally however by Re- publican papers. Governors-elect Bald
 win of Connecticut, Foss of Massachu-
 setts, Dix of New York, Wilson Of
 New Jersey and Harmon of Ohio are
 the principal names thus far sug-
 gested. MT. Bryan is out of the race,
 not only because of his declination but
 also because his bolt defeated the
 Democratic candidate for Governor of Nebraska.
 About a year and a half must elapse before the nominating convention of 1912 is due. During that period. each of these Governors-elect may disqual- ify himself by unpopular action, oi | one of them may popularize himself beyond any possible claims in behalf of the others. It is matter of the gravest uncertainty, this availability for 1912 of men now conspicuously be- | fore the public. Let's wait awhile | before committing ourselves to any | stick of Presidential timber now 1T | sight!

STATE POLITICS
SHERIFF HAWLEY'S DEFEAT,
 (So. Norwalk Sentinel.)


 Mr. Hawley's political methods. after his long tenure of office, had become so odious to the electors of the county, and particularly, Of course, to the Republican electors, that a change was demanded. This was proven beyond doubt when Sher- if Hawley threw his strength against Congressman E. J. Hill in the last contest for the United States Senate. Al great many Republicans hold Sheriff Hawley responsible for Sena- tor Frank B. 4Brandegee's success at the expense of MT. Hill.
 Months ago The Sentinel warned against the re-nomination of Sheriff Hawley This warning was accepted as a sound one generally, but was combatted in some quarters, parti- papers, but how fruitless was their support of MT. Hawley in an effort to stem the popular tide against him was, yesterdays result proves. They had not reached the point yet where they saw the handwriting on the wall.
 It was stated at the time in The could undoubtedly accomplish his own re-nomination, his real fight would be at the polls. The sequence of events has been identically as pre- dicted. with the result that Sherlft Hawley makes his exit as power Tn Fairfield County politics.
 Not breath of criticism has been raised against MT. Hawley's conduct l of the office of sheriff and all who have done battle with him have found in him a foe worthy of their steel. The objection to Sheriff flaw | lev has been confined entirely to his | political activities.

Editor Farmer
 read that the newly elected Repup-
 iican Senator from the 21st Senatorial
 district did not let the news of the re-
 turns get cold before he announced
 himself in favor of new State Arm

 this city. The talk is of building the
 structure at Seaside Park in order that
 the militiamen and officers will have
 a more ideal clubhouse Every prop.
 erty owner in the city should protest
 against this project as ruthless ex- penditure of money, particularly Tn these times when the cost of living IS so high. One of the causes for the
 State tax of last year was the con struction of a State Armory at Hart ford. Senator Bartlett undoubtedly wants to tax people for another Arm ory when the Thanksgiving turkey this wear will probably be a skinny chicken in many cases and a piece of corned beef in a majority of instances. The only thing the. matter with the old Armory is that the roof leaks. The adiutant general of the State undoubt- edly knows of the condition but no at tempt has ever been made to stop the leaks. At the recent Knights of Co., lumbus carnival there was one night that the water poured in and destroy | ed costly decorations and at several | places neceSSitated umDrellaS- 1T tne | adiutant generals house had a leak in the roof he would not feel it necessary | to build a new house.. particularly if the money was coming out of his own | rocket.

With two towns missing on account of tie votes for representatives, the lower branch of the Legislature stands: Republicans, 159; Democrats, 97. The Senate has 21 Republicans and IA Dem ocrats. These figures show a Repub- lican loss of 49 in the House, and 10 in the Senate. But that party con- trols each branch, and will be held responsible for all good legislation which may be rejected. and all bad legislation which may be passed.
 Gov. Baldwin may. and undoubtedly will, recommend good legislation, but there his power ends, except that he may veto bad legislation. in which event the same majority which passed the bad legislation, can override the veto.
 It is an unfortunate situation. for ii may prevent performance of the prom ises of the Democratic platform. Ii precedents rule, no measure of Demo cratic origin, however meritorious. will be allowed to pass the incoming Re- publican Legislature.

 Of course, we do not know that the Senatorial Progressives would vote with the Democrats for any measure whatever coming from the Democratic House.

COUNT BONI IS
 CONSTANT ATTENDANT

Paris. Nov. 1o-The announcement from Rome that Count Boni De Cas- tellane had asked the Vatican to an- null his marriage with Miss Anna Gould, already annulled by the civil courts came as no surprise in Parls, where De Castellaneis attentions so Miss Anne Morgan have been the sub- feet of comment.
 Two officials of the American Gov ernment here, today, declared the en- gagement had been expected in the prominent Parisian clubs for a long while.
 De Castellane has been Miss MOT san's constant attendant for months, visiting the opera. the salon and other places of amusement, with her. Un- der the civil law, Boni is able to mar ry. but, as a Catholic, he may not do SD until the Vatican has annulled his marriage with Anna Gould.

Senator Bulkeley has not withdrawn his candidacy for reelection. On the contrary, he claims 104 of the Repub- lican members-elec of the Legislature, while coceding but v to Mclean. The Mclean managers claim 119 members elect, and concede 51 to Bulkeley.
 These claims differ as widely as did the prediction estimates of the two candidates. Possibly, each of them may base more or less of his claims upon legislators believed to be cor ruptible. The Republican caucus will tell the story. provided only that the nomination be made by roll-call.

MIR. CONNERY DEFEATED.
 (Nor1ua1lS HOnr

One of the big surprises of the campaign was the defeat of Michael Connery, Democratic candidate for state senator in the 24th district. MT
 Connery carried his home town of Bedding by a majority of 137 over his opponent, Charles N. Peck, ran over 100 ahead of his ticket in Ridge field and made substantial gains in the other towns in the district, ex- cept Danbury where unexpected scratching by his own party not only oyercame his majority of about 300, but defeated him by 243 votes. MT. Connery, whose record as a repre- sentative in the state legislature from Bedding, for two terms, is an en- yiable one, in an interview this morn ing expressed his heartfelt apprecia- tion of the loyal support he received in his home town and in RidSeheld.

There is doubt concerning the re- election of Senator Lodge of Massachu- setts. As only 6 State Senators-elect and 29 Representatives-elec favor the holding of a party caucus. there seems to be rather more than a possibility that the matter win go directly to the Legislature, in which event the Il State Senators elect and the 37 Repre- sentatives-elect who refuse to state any preference as to Lodges successor. may contribute materially to his de- feat. It was in support of Lodge that Roosevelt invaded Massachusetts.

There is a growing tendency on the part of Republican papers. outside of New York city. to pat Col. Roosevelt on the back and to assure him that Tuesdays setback is only temporary. Does this mean that the Taft slogan, used so widely in the recent campaign as likely to assure Republican suc- cess, is now recognized as an ineffec- tive political agency. and that the party is veering toward the election discredited Ex-President, with his practice of splitting the air with noise'?

When General Funston oucked.

I was aiming the fifteenth shell when bullet struck one of the trun- nions almost at my nose. My nerves had been getting pretty shaky from preceding shots. and I must confess that l threw myself flat on the ground and rolled over. Joyce jump ed over me, quickly sighted the piece and sprang from the gun The i'm perturbable Pennie, lying on the several narrow escapes in sighting ground and smoking cigarette, jerked the lanyard and fired the last shot from this terrible death trap. General Gomez had delegated to General Rosa the necessary author ity to discontinue firing from this pc sition whenever he thought best. and the latter, who was near at hand, ordered us to take cover in a ravine, abandoning the gun for the time being, although it was in no danger of capture, owing to the proximity of strong supports. Now that they had put the gun out of action, the Spaniards continued their fire on the Cuban infantry and in ficted several casualties. It was nec- essary to recover the gun. so in about half an hour three of us crawled stealthily out of the ravine and wriggied our way to it. Taking l the trail rope, we made quick run, and despite hot fire reached the ravine and tumbled down the bank
 with little ceremony. pulling the gun after us with such haste that #
 landed upside down in the bottom. The two-pounder being In less ex- posed position, continued to fire at
 intervals during the day. but with
 practically no effect, owing to the small size of Its projectiles."
