It is said that there are, likely to be other candidates.
 MT. Wolfe is not in good favor with some of the members of the organiza- ton, because of statement he is al- legged to have given out in regard to the Peterson case, and also because he was active in Mayor Wilson's behalf in the last municipal campaign.

latest of importance being in 1874. No change in the constitution can be made unless it has had the approval of the House of Representatives in two successive sessions of the General Assembly and by a two-thirds vote appear vain to hope that the small towns will ever consent to relinquish the power which they now hold over legislation. Perhaps it is vain. But do not think so. I know the coun- try town pretty we'll and I believe that its people are intelligent and fair. Few of them will claim that political intelligence or political vir- tue is 415 times as common in Union as in New Haven. Most of them see. or can be made to see, that there are no considerable practical advantages resentation.
 Experience, too, seems to show that the General Assembly is reasonably willing to diminish it's powers in the interest of better government. Not to mention a number of earlier in- stances, we are just now seeing the Assembly sanction constitutional amendment which will limit very much it's power to overcome the Governor g veto. Tn short, there is fair ground for hope that the encouragement of representation, which is so manifestly Just ana eXpeQlent, VIII n6eQ only 10 be urged strongly and with the avail able arguments in order to win the needed approval of the General Assem- bly, and ready and cheerful approval, too.
 If such fair hopes fail then it will remain to try less pleasant measures of something like coercion. Then it will be not merely large towns against the small, for that would be a futile policy as long as the small towns might show simple stubbornness. Then it must be also general alignment of progressives against the conservatives with both sides stoutly determined to win and with something like 1eadlOcks between the progressive SenAte and the conservative House at least with mutual Instructions between the two houses. Then, too, will be the time to bring into play broad party in fuences and other State issues.
 Nobody, I think, who sees clearly the broad political field and the vari- ous forces which can be made to work upon it can doubt that in the unfor- tunate condition of necessity the strong majority of our people can have their way in this as in all other matters, can force their will upon the minority. But we need not just yet concern ourselves with the details of coercion. Like the man who found the boys in his apple tree, we should try kind words before resorting to sticks and stones.
