Mormonism in Connecticut.

Elder Alfred of the Mormon church, has been touring Connecticut in the interest of his faith and now he is about to quit the field, happy that some sixty odd converts are to be taken into the fold. There are many women among the sixty and yet the elder has no doubt that the Mormons of this state will multiply so rapidly that they will soon be in need of temple. Accordingly, plans are in the works and as soon as the numerical strength of Connecticut's Mormons is great enough, they will worship in their own temple.
 With diminishing attendance at church services, and the futility of num- erous schemes to keep the Sunday at tendance up to a decent average. one wonders by what magic powers of moral suasiOn or logic, sixty Connecticut people-even if most of them are women were convicted that they should be- come Mormons. Elder Alfred might prove valuable man to enlist in the cause of any other denomination, or perhaps any clergyman following the same system" as the distributors of Mormon bible tracts, would reap the same results. ts.-Waterbury Republican.

The Voting Population


 Of males over twenty-one there were in Connecticut when the last census was taken 347 ,692. But less than three forths of these are entitled to a vote, be- cause the number embraces 92 ,454 per sons who have not yet sworn off their allegiance to foreign governments, kings or potentates.
 The figures furnished by the Census Bureau as to the voting population are interesting in further degree, says the Bridgeport Farmer, because they indicate to what an extent Connecticut owes it's population to immigration. A trifle more than one male in three who is more than twenty-one years old is the son of parents both of whom were born in the United States.
 Foreign born persons and the children of foreign born persons comprise almost two-thirds.
 Almost half of this great voting popu- lation is in eight cities, to wit Bridge port, New Haven, Hartford, Meriden, New Britain, Waterbury, Norwich and Stamford. Bridgeport has a smaller na- tive born population than either Hartford, or New Haven, and the city's 32,991 males of voting age include 8. .402 children of native parents. 6.945 of foreign parent age and some 17.000 born abroad, of whom 6,553 are naturalized and l0,551, not naturalized.
 In most of the cities of the state the immigrant population is more numerous than the native population. and for tn e state as a whole, almost as numerous.

Such matters as the relation of
the Socialist Party towards the econ

Party, the continuance of the Nation
al Socialist Lyceum Bureau, the at
titude of the party toward municipal

Collins Resigns

Peter W. Collins, formerly secre-
tary of the International Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers, has resigned.
For couple of years Mr.. Collins has
been lecturing for capitalist organiza-
tons against Socialism, and the ex-
eeutive board of the Brotherhood or
dered him to give UP one thing or
the other, taking the position that
it was unfair of him to receive a
salary from the Electrical Workers
as their secretary, while he was &C
cepting compensation from capital
lists to lecture against Socialism. So
he resigned his position and left the
trades union movement. 1t is now
believed that the reconciliation of
the two factions Of the Electrical
Workers can be speedily accom-
plished.
