THE SENATE'S
BLUNDER
In Refusing to Permit Re
tirement of Highway
Commissioner Macdonald.
stamford Advocate. J

Perhaps this question of a STATE
road commissioner interests people in
Stamford, Greenwich and other towns
hereabout more than it interests folks
at the other end of the State. Any
way. we are able to point with dis
gust to numerous instances of delay,
laundering and neglect in the con-
struction and care of roads under
state supervision. 1t is a fact that
many Republicans here voted for
and expectation that after his cleo
ton there would be a change in this
department They did not reckon
upon the Senate doing anything so as
SHINE as to refuse to confirm the ap-
pointment of a thoroughly competent
man in order that a man proved in
competent should be kept in office
1t is not a desirable record with which
to go before the people next fall,
when Republican votes will be need
ed. The second appointment of
Gov. Baldwin, when he presented to
can, upset any claim that the Gov
ernor desired to make the change for
partisan purposes. If the hold-over
notion is correct, the present COM
missioner will stay in office by virtue
of the action of the Senate majority
which places partisanship ahead of
public interest, and against the desire
of a great majority of the people Of
the State. To hold a public office
under such conditions is a. position in
which most self-respecting men would
not care to be placed
waterbury American)
That James H. Macdonald is a bet
ter politician than roadbuilder may be
proved by the ease with which he is
able to continue in office for four
years more, without serious objection
when there isn't road anywhere in
the State of his building that is six
months old which isn't claimed to be
proof of his incapacity. He contin-
ues in office because he is a Repub-
Hcan.
(Ansonia Sentinel)
His continuance in office by the
grace of "a senate that thinks more of
politics and of him than it does of
good roads, gives him another chance
to make good in some of the particu-
lars in which he has been alleged to
fail
