Baldwin Asks Editors
 His Senatorial Plan

New Haven. Jan. 31--At a dinner of the Connecticut Editorial Association. last night. Governor Simeon B. Bald win presented plea for the election of State Senators at large. He said in part:
 and then think of the simple remedy of reverting to our practice of two cen- turies ago of electing our Senators on a general ticket. There you have a scheme which is equal: a scheme that with minority representation properly secured is just scheme that sets up a true and fair balance in our 1egisla- tion that principle under which the commonwealth throve during her years after she became a State.
 'I ask your leaders of public opinion in Connecticut to think on these things. to think of them not as party men. but as freemen of Connecticut, ready to urge any measure which makes for her real interest.
 You have a position of power. You are the interpreters to the people of their own thoughts. You may be the hold. as truly as I hold. an office in our political society. Election to your office comes by merit. It may not be mine. No newspaper will live long whose editors are not men of ability. Your fair exercise of that ability in settling our mode of constitutional government Is due to Connecticut. As the chief officer of Connecticut I charge you here and now. each and cut. to take up this question which I bring before you in such a way as to use your unchartered office for the best good.'' ~

CHARTER SOUGHT FOR NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT & POWER
 CONCERN FOR THIS CITY
Trolley Line Proposed Through Section North of
 Old Mill Green
 Two New Enterprises Dis closed Through Proposed Measures Appearing in General Assembly Today.
fFrom Our Special corres.)

fFrom Our Special CorreS.) Hartford, Jan. 31.-Two measures fof exceedingly great importance were introduced into the General Assembly today, one in the Senate by Senator McNef. by request, incorporating the Pequonnock company of Bridgeport; the other in the House by Repre- sentative Bent, by request, incorporat- ing the Bridgeport Electric Power company.
 ' The incorporators of the Pequon- mock company are: c. Lewis Bill, Theodore B. Ford. F.. B. Curtis, and Leo c. Morehouse. Under the pro- visions of .the proposed act of incor- porAtfou the company asks for re- markable powers included in which is the right to build and operate d trolley road between Bridgeport and Trumbul1 and to deal in the coHec- ton and distribution of garbage and to practically do everything else that is 1one today by the large business interests with the exception of oper- ating a steam railroad
 The incorporators of the Bridge port Electric Power Company are: W. Q. Clark. W. c. Ryckman, c. N. Gilpin, and T. F. Fftzsimmons. This company seeks the right to manufac- ture and sell electricity for light and heat in Bridgeport or adjacent towns; to build subways and conduits in Bridgeport and adjacent towns; to buy and sell land of all descriptions and to do practically anything else that they would care to do in the line of this business. They provide for a capital stock of $1,600.000, at $100 a share, $600,000 preferred stock; $9o0,0o0 common stock; power to is- sue bonds equal to three-fourths of
 It is understood that Attorney Paul Chapman of Bridgeport is one of the leading spirits behind the pro- posed electric power company.
 C. Lewis Bill, one of the incorpora- tors of the Pequonnock Go. is we'll known real estate dealer of this city. He Is interested in the development of the Thompson tract, so called which lies to the north of Old Mill Green and east of Beardsley patrk. The farm embraces 115 acres.
 Mir Bill said today that one of the poration was the development of the real estate of that vicinity.
 "As far as the garbage feature of the enterprise is concerned, that is practically solved for the present, but 1t may be reopened at any time in the future Under our proposed lay out we could hook up our trolley line with either the East Main street line or the Beardsley park line and run a road through the section to the north of the territory now supplied with trolley service. We feel there is a demand for such service, and the Connecticut Co.. does not appear dis posed just now to supply it.
 The U- M. c. Co. has tract of land east of our land. and through it is an industrial railway over which the city has right of way. We could connect with this industrial railway. The proposed line would go to the garbage plant. Primarily we want to develop our property. The trolley plan is designed principally for that purpose
