THE DAY OF SPECIFIC DEMANDS

1t should not be thought THAT the
activity OF the State Business Mems
association or OF organized labor in
the field of politics represents all the
terrestrial have a perenlpteryf denna nd
to make upon the political candida ties,
for they are only just two of them
This is a fad in all states just now,
and there are lined up to confront
the man of political ambitions
The party bosses !
The special interests.
The organized automobflists.
The commuters.
The local optionists.
The nqusr dealers and manufac-
turers.
The union labor men
And from the Newark News we
quote the manner in which the poor
candidates are confronted:
Leaders of party machines tell
candidates that If they will not prom
Use to stand by the exact orders of
the organization they must drop out
Of the race.
Special interests say they must be
assured that their desires will be car
riez out or they will refuse to con-
tribute to the campaign fund.
Motor car.owners threaten that un-
less promises are made by legislative
can1i dat ties to vote for a special reel
prUrfty BILL then the untagged seeker
after office will be run down at the
polls.
Organized commuters are drafting
a public utilities measure of their
own, and they are informing candi-
dates fer the legislature that pledges
TO Support that bill must be forth
coming or the commuters will arise
in their might and smite the recalci-
tr-zzffs hip and thigh
Local opt@oTiists make support of
their brand of a bill fer the control
Of the H4aor traffic a prerequisite of
support OF any candidate.
The liquor trade insists that all
candidates must be pledged against
restrictive excise legislation and N
favor of liberal measures.
"Grganized labor pFoclains that no
candidate who fails to pledge himself
to vote for the kind of an employers
liability bill approved by the union
leaders need expect support from the
laborfug men"
What does this show? Simply that
the people have lost confidence in pub
lie servants because they believe they
have come te represent special inter
ests insteaS of the people, and that
the way to compel specific action IS
by organized dfctation- Is this the
best -way<to aeesEn psish honest and eff
feczye Legislation? VIII net men who
violate pssforms violate any other
pledge they nake-is dishonesty to be
overcome in this way?
If men of ability. principle and
breadth were selected to represent the
people woAltd they not do honest werk?
Is it possible for a specialized automa-
ton to give better satisfaction than
the Legislators ws have been having?
There is Foeza for honest thought and
sekIaquiFy in the present political
situation on the part of political .aan-
asers we'll as On the part of the
people.

A Handy Device

very light wood and mounted on the

AN INQUIRY OF INTEREST.

Clambakes galorei Where the
dickens do all the CLAIMS come from =?
New Haven Palladium.
There are reports of a good serv-
iceable clam made out of reclaimed
rubber this year. 1t is said TO be
quite up to the church oyster so pop
ular at fairs in the winter months
There need be no mystery about the
frequency of the clam, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the beds all along
shore are giving out.-Bridgeport
Standard
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1910-08-22

The clam doesn't come from any
where. He fs such sluggard that he
never gets out of his little bed to
walk-he has to be dug out and be
carried He is not an invalid, but this
is the CLAIMS way. When the beds
are empty we shall not miss the clam
for men can make clam chowders and
fritters, etc, just as they do make
real mihce pie without meat, real
veal-l0af without veal real lemon pie
WithSGt lemon, and real egg cake
without eggs, and real strawberry ice
Cream without cream or Strawberries.
in view of this. it is not surprising
that the clambake can be sustained
whether the clam beds are giving out
or not. But where do the CLANS come
from? Well, Mr.. Palladium. they do
not come. they are too scarce to be
brought, so they are just invented.
Please do not ask who invents them.
for in the culinary department no one
can tell. any more than the employees
of a. canning factory that puts out
million cans of turkey a year can tell
where the wishbones have all gone,
for, in fact, they have never seen a
wishbone- Everything is not what it
seems to be in this bully old world of
ours.
