DIRECTOR KENNY ON
 OILING OF ROADS

Finding the extended system of road oi1ing splendid success, Direc- tor Kenny announced today that he contemplated undertaking the task still more extensively next year. He will ask for a large appropriation for road oi1ing and will approximately decrease the annual requisition for street sprinkling.
 He was not yet prepared to talk specifically as to just how far the road oilingA will supplant sprinkling but said that he was convinced that oi1ing was the more. successful in aI- most every condition of public road

THE TICKET.
CHartford Tines.)

The democratic ticket for state officers will be. generally regarded as strong and symmetrical. New Haven furnishes the head of the ticket in Judge Baldwin. Hartford is repre- sented by Andrew J. Broughel, Jr., one of the younger lawyers, but ex- perienced and popular, who is the candidate for Heutenant-governor. zalmon GoodselI, the candidate for secretary, is one of the leading citi- zens< of Bridgeport. E. Kent Hub bard of Niddletowns for treasurer, is a. graduate of Trinity and a, leading manufacturer of the state. John M. Brady, for comptroller, is of New Britain, a prominent real estate deal CT and very popular all over the state. Ta1cott H. Russell, for attor- ney-genera1, is of New Haven, and a lawyer of ability. R
 All are competent men, and,F as it has been kindly suggested by a re- publican paper, although the candi- dates are not widely known, they are men of standing in their communi- ties. It may be added that they will be more widely known before the campaign is overland that this in crease of Knowledge is likely to be to their advantage. Still they are not ali quite such home bodies as our republican contemporary implies.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
(Hartford Post.)

HOSL.D
 The democratic party at it's state convention in New Haven yesterday seems to have incorporated in it's platform about everything the aver age man is asking for in the way or political and economic rights. The wage earner in studying the platform will find much that will interest him. The man of small means, the small merchant and all who toll and spin, whether they be small or great, will find that Connecticut democracy has pretty nearly sounded the keynote of popular demand.
 Naturally, the tariff is rapped, and rapped hard.
 1t is interesting to note that demo- the income tax; for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people; for the creation of q fifth congressional district in the state; for the creation of a public utilities commission elected by the people which shall have supervision acting impartially on all questions coming before it; for the repeal of the present law limiting the recovery in death cases to $5,OO0 or any other arbitrary sum; the enactment of a workingmen compensation law for injuries; the re-esta bliShm ment Of local self-governme ent in the state to the end that counties, towns, and cities may have the right to elect their own officers and regulate matters of pure ly Ioca! interest; for a conservative modernizing of the Sunday law; home e rule for the cities of the state, ending legislative interference with the work ing out of their individual political existence; the abolition of the pres ent indefensible method of electlng county commissioners; the direct primary form of nomination; the sums contributed for campaign pur- poses,7 together with the names of the contributors; an honest and ef- fective corrupt practices law; the es. h1iS7n00nt of 9 civil service law for the state that employees of it's ipstitu- tions may be appointed by the merit system; rational economy in the ex- penditure of public funds and the abolition of the direct state tax on property.
 These. are the salient points of the platform.
 CTS by the vote of the people makes a, direct appeal to all who under stand just how inadequate and uI1- The direct primary and the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people is entirely in line with the twentieth century ideas; terests of working men meets the longtime demand of this class of citizens. -
 The establishment of a civil service law so that appointments to public position in this state shall cease to be matters of personal favoritism is a step in advance of a method that has always been pitifully inadequate and dep1orab1y wrong.
 Home rule for the cities and local self-government for all communities the way for greater progress for practically every one of them, while the publication of an accurate state ment of campaign contributions be- fore election would serve the purpose of making politics cleaner and taking a pernicious element out of them.

JUDGE BALDWIN AT SEVENTY.

(Merlden Journal ) >
 To those who saw Judge Baldwin years, at the Democratic state con- | Evention at New Haven yesterday, a genuine surprise was in store. The fact that he retired from the Supreme court bench by reason o1 reaching the age limit of seventy years led some opponents and some friends to believe that he was a de crepid, old man, enfeebled physically and mentally.
 ,oN7htaa When he he entered the s hall 4,ie and Son vention and accept the nomination so enthusiastically rendered him, they saw a man apparently in the prime of life and when he began to speak they realized that their estimate was not 1 wrong.
 Judge Baldwin is a remarkably well preserved man. To those who have known him long time he appeared little different than he did twenty
 five years ago, the only change noted being a predOm1nance of grayiSh over reddish hair.
 In voice, action and mental vigor be is far from three score and ten He is today an ideal leader and in every way calculated to give to the state or any other duty the great and unquestioned ability he possesses in of activity in the public service.
 When~h he is heard as the campaign progresses the people of the state will have chance to see for themselves i to place in position to which he can bring only the highest honor.
 JUDGE BALDWIN, CANDIDATE. (New Haven Register.) With better harmony than at one time was hoped for. with dignified pursuance of a high purpose to ap- peal to the best sentiment of the of this state. in convention as- sembled, have made Simeon Eben Baldwin their candidate for gover- nor. For their obedience to the voice of true democracy; of high civic pur- pose and real patriotism, they are to be. congratulated.
 To Judge Baldwin, who in his life and public service has honored this city as much, perhaps, as any man whose home has been here, and who has been and is one of the wisest jurists and most distinguished citi- zens of Connecticut, The Register would offer sincere congratulations A stiff struggle is before him, and he needs not to be told that only hard and ernest work, and possibly not even that, will win. But he has no good reason to be worried over the outcomei He has a right to hope that there will be nominated to oppose spect. Then, whatever the result, he may have nothing to regret. So far his attitude in the matter has been most becoming. His speech of ae- ceptance< was a noble utterance. He stands on his merits, and he has the good wishes of every man who wants a square deal

TO FLOAT DEWEY THIS WEEK
Fear That Drydock Has Rusted Out
Entertained at Capital.

Washington, June 1a.-The drydock
Dewey. which recently sank at Olongapo,
will be afloat again some time this week,
the wreckers, according 10 reports TO the
Navy Department, having made excellent
progress in their work
The reason for the sinking OF the dry
dock has not yer been discovered The
suggestion has been made. based on a re-
cent report. that hole has been found in
the side OF the dock. that the Dewey may
be practically rusted away. although II
has been only four years in tropical waters.
Another suggestion is that the hole was
caused by purely local corrosion. owing 10
electrolysis which. OF course. would mint-
rrlize the damage
The strategists OF the Navy Department
are dismayed az the thought that the
Dewey, the only drydock available for
American use in time OF war in the Far
East, may be useless.
