The republican ticket should be elected today because it deserves to be.
 retard any change in form of govern ment the people may see fit to make
 If the majority of the voters do not approve of the charter for commits sion government, then the election of the ticket is the single guaranty of a return to republican government in June, 1912
 It is of less importance what kind of charter the people prefer than what kind of men they select to ad- minister the government. Just men will have just government under any charter: while men not well grounded in principle and honor will pervert the best of laws
 There can be no complaint made of the character or experience of the men who make up the republican ticket They are men fitted to take care of the business of the city satisfactorily to the voters-men who will respect the will of the people.
 Since the polls do not open until [ o'clock a. m. there should be an en- deavor made to have the polling places free 70 working men during the noon hour so as to facilitate the work.
 All the republicans who can shouId vote early and the evidences of a large vote should be made apparent early in the day.

WHAT WILL BE DETERMINED.

If the only thing to be determined ttoday was whether Norwich is or IS not to change it's form of government there need not be much concern; but this special issue has turned all eyes 10 the Rose of New England, and not only our sense of government but our sense of duty is on trial.
 Should this important issue of adopting charter for a commission form of government be accepted or rejected through the indifference of the people. it would be to the everlast- ing shame of the voters of the city.
 A big vote is looked for, because the question of government is sup posed to be of vital concern to every voter--a question upon which every live citizen will be willing and anxious to record his will Indifference to this question would be manifestation of dullness and negligence not at all creditable to American citizens.
 This matter has been pretty well exploited by the charter commission CTS and the press during the past year and the citizens must have formed opinions upon it. It is equally reprehensible to let it go by default or to vote for it because we couldn't have any worse government than we have hadI" Let us have a full and intelligent vote upon this question and have 1t said that Norwich left no doubt as to its convictions upon the matter
 An x marked in the circle over Yes to the right of the ballot ap- proves-in the circle over No dis approves. It is easy to comply with the ballot law. and there is no reason why there should be more mistakes than usual.

 Thousands of unsolicited and genu- inc testimonials like the above prove the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which is made exclusively from roots and herbs.
 Women who suffer from those dis dressing ills should not lose sight of these facts or doubt the ability of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore their health.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
 Important Day in Citys History.

MT. Editor: Today is one of the most important in the entire history of this city, not only as regards it's future prosperity, but also as regards the esteem in which it is to be held by the state in general. There was time when Norwich was a power in Con- neoticut; today it has as little infiu- enee outside it's own confines as any city of its size in the state.
 It is to be hoped that every elector who favors it will cast his ballot for the adoption of the proposed new city charter. Those who oppose it have been working against it, while those who favor it have done but little to as- sist in it's passage.
 This is but natural when we realize that those who favor it have nothing to gain personally by it's adoption. ez- cept inasmuch as the general welfare of a community is reflected upon the individual, whereas a large ma jority of those who oppose it, an element who are fighting hard against it. though not in the open, will lose personally by it's passage.
 The adoption of the commission for n of government is nowhere favored by those who use politics as a source 1f revenue. There is no need of urging those who oppose it to vote against it They will do so. either from selfish motives. or because actuated by that spirit of ultra conservatism which has been one of the factors in losing for Norwich that position of high regard in which it was once held by the entire state.
 If for no better reason. and there are many excellent ones. the new charter should be given a five years trial simply because conditions cou d not possibly be worse than they are today. Two years experience as an alderman in the court of common council have led ma to the conviction that economy and efficiency in the ad- tninstration of the business affairs of the city are absolutely impossibi- un- der the present. form of government.
 We have already voiced our unani- nous approval of the proposed charter and our desire to adopt it. We have asked for and received the permission of the state legislature to do so. The eyes of the whole state are upon ss today Let us not make of ourselves a statewide laughing stock by turning back now that we have put our hand to the blow.
