Hartford. June 6-It is said here up on good authority that petitions hav- ing 5000 signatures have been circu- lated throughout the state asking for preferential primaries on all Repub- hcan candidates for office. It is also 34fd that the movement was started by4 Roosevelt friends so that if he ia nominated. a machine will be built up all over the state. In other words 1t is an attempt to interest a very large number of Republicans in one of Roosevelt's propositions. It is said that there are 500 petitions now in circulation throughout the state.
 ment have enjoined secrecy until the time is ripe to act. To the regular Republicans this clinches the suspi- cion that the primary scheme is but q disguise not to be worn for a mo- ulent after the decision as to Roose- velt's future is decided by the Chica- go convention.
 Surprising as it may seem the Roosevelt workers in this state claim that they have the good will of the Manufacturers associations in sev- eral of the leading cities, and that there are influential members of the Hartford Manufacturers association who win be with the Roosevelt orga- 6nsiness whether ifi bena1f 0f the reg ular}y nominated candidate or the candidate of bolting convention.

tate or warps the judgment of city officials in determining the capaclty and planning the arrangement of pub- lie buildings and structures to De erected.
 Last but not least the city must advertise it's advantages. Local and general publicity should prevail
 An important step in connection with local publicity Is to arrange an annual municipal exhibit. By means of diagrams, charts. photographs and special exhibits each departmental head should present the neds of his department in the most graphic man. ner possible.
 In addition to a municipal exhibit great benefit can be obtained by is- suing pamphlets, bulletins, and other municipal publications explaining the reas things the government is doing. Viewed in it's entirety the poseib1l- .ities of the city government in pro noting city growth by inlternal ef1- cieucy and the conservation and de- velopment of. its natural advantages are wonderful. The time IS about past when officials can hope to be elected solely upon a glad hand do- nothing policy whose most efficient act is salary drawing. Nor can they much longer afrod to be mere toys in some boss-ridden community, contin- ually waiting to hear their masters voice."
 City officials of the new school will be among the best informed men od the community. They will be men whose advice Is earnestly sought by leading civic organizations. Upon them will center the greatest prob lems of the day They will be true leaders in the biggest, broadest sense because they wiM do the things that really count Then and not until then will efficiency in city government reach its greatest value in the promo ton of city growth.

Proper city planning in districts con- taining WOrkingmen'S homes is essen tial. It is at these points that your parks, play grounds. and breathing spots are really needed. Special at tempts should be made by library boards to interest the laboring people
 The proper development of sur rounding or agricultural territory is another matter in which the city can we'll afford to put some monel. Good roads are essentials if products are to be brought to the city for marketing purposes
 Rest rooms should be established. Public or municipal markets should be opened. Not the old fashioned market with a few poorly maintain ed sheds surrounding an open plot of ground. but an up-to-date. well kept, sales proposition. Such a maiSket should be in control of a wide awake business man. Current price lists of the leading markets should be posted daily and the farmer allowed to choose the market upon which he will sell.
 Public librarians can do much in ty- ing surrounding country to your city. Good books in the form of travelling libraries should be circulated. Spe- cial attempts. should be made to bring before the farmer in interesting form those things which will guide him in scientific and intensive farming.
 The city as a unit, however, must not overlook the undeveloped possibil- ities at it's very door. Future as we'll as present opportunities thould Ibe considered, and in order that the mat ter may be systematically and aggres- sively handled every city should ap- point a future development commits sion to take the lead in stimulating it's growth This initial work on the part of the city has also it's imme- diate financial advantage. Long time options can be secured on property which will eventually be needed. Buildings can be erected with a much better understanding of future needs. To-day the laxity of most cities in planning for the future causes addi- tional expense in purchasing real es-
