one doubts that George Washington
could have been renominated and re
elected 20 the presidency for a third

and IN doing So he rendered one of

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAI,
THE GLASS HOUSE.

Probably the oldest art is that of house building; yet after generations of experience, and myriads of eXperl- ment we have made but little prog ress.
 The city flat ought to be the ideal residence for human beings. By every law of evolution. and the growth of efficiency it should be the best possi- ble arrangement for comfort. And. on the contrary, it is appalling in its slavery to old ideas.
 For the city flat is merely the old baroniaI castle, or English country house, contracted. We also must have our reception room, parlor, sitting room, bedroom and kitchen, even if they be each but six feet square. We live in chambers adapted to what others are supposed to think we need, rather than to what we really want Convention outweighs convenience, and inherited ideas practical eff1cien- cy.
 In the average dwelling house, the thing that impresses the radical mind is the waste space, the space devoted to the occasional visitor, to ''com- pany," and the lack of roominess in the family quarters.
 Why is it that with few feet ot 1IoOr space, we muSL uCeuo CHOp IL uA into little kennels?
 About the most radical modern structure is the office building; there no hereditary idea existed to smother intelligence.
 The residence, and the flat build ing of the future, when the ghost hands let go of us, will be mostly glass with steel and cement enough to hold it.
 The proper housing of human be- ing is glass, because it is the nearest thing to being out of doors.

UNDERSTAND HOW TO VOTE.

It is an important fact that the voters should seek instructions at the polls today if they are in any way uncertain about the operation of the machine or the ballot. There will be those at the polling places in whom confidence can be placed It is be- lieved that Norwich will have but one verdict after using the machines to- day, and it will cause surprise that we ever got along without them as long as we have. It will mean an early declaration of the vote.
 With the machine a straight vote simply requires the pulling of the par ty lever on the face of the machine. split vote requires the pulling of a party lever, the turning up of the in dicators over the candidates not de- sired and the turning down of the in dtactors over the candidates for whom it is desired to vote. It is possible to vote for every office a voter is en- titled 10, but no more, and there is assurance that the vote will be count ed as voted.
 The ballot is similar. A vote in the circle in the party column votes a straight ticket, To split, place no cross in the circle but one should be placed before each candidate voted for. This is the first presidential election with the cumbersome Australian bal lots in this state and some long hours of counting are anticipated Norwich anticipates a welcome relief therefrom.

THE GOVERNOR.

While there is a break in the re- publican ranks in this state, it does not equal the split of two years ago. A portion of the normally large re- publican majority in Connecticut may be knocked off by the third party, but fl is not sufficient to throw the cleo ton fl the republicans will hold to- gether. An admirable candidate is before the voters this year for gov- ernor in Judge Studley. He is a man of executive ability and judicial ex- perience whose popularity is state- wide. He has united the party as no other could, a friend of the veterans. warm friend of labor, a man who believes that every decision requires a man who does not make campaign promises to forget them. With Stud ley for governor and a general as- semoly to back him, Connecticut has every promise of putting into effect state laws embodying important needs and reforms. Give us a governor who will help rather than retard legisla- ton, a man with a will and q pur- pose.

SECOND DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN

This is the year when the first can- didate for the new Second district is chosen. The Third had an admirable record for republican strength and for the excellence of the representatives sent to congress. In the republican nominee. William A. King, the new Second has a candidate worthy in ev- cry respect to continue the line of succession. He is such a man as the district needs at Washington, and one on whom the fullest dependence can be placed. He would be a representa- tive of all the people. a packer of the administration, a man who would go after and get what the district wants He is not the representative of any corporation or predatory interests. He deserves the united support of the republicans and all other voters who stand for the welfare of the district A vote for him is a vote for a man with experience and ability as i'm portant qualifications. He knows the needs of the farmers as well as of the business interests. Make him our next congressman.

TAFT AND HADLEY.

Since the vacancy on the republican ticket caused by the death of Vice President sherman, there has been a spontaneity in expressions from all sections of the country favorable to Governor Hadley of Missouri for the place. Three -fourths of the national committeeman, who have the filling of the vacancy, have declared for him and it is conceded that he is the strongest among the half-dozen or more names mentioned. He is an &C., tive and responsible leader among the republican forces of the middle west He stood among the leaders in the progressive movement at Chicago, but is supporter of the administration believing that the best results can be gained through the republican party.
 He was the man upon whom a com promise was attempted, but it was blocked by Roosevelt. The republican party is virtually united upon him for the vacancy. and the choice would be a wise one. President Taft considers him an excellent choice and while the vacancy cannot be filled until the na- tional committee meets November F, it is practically settled that Taft and Hadley will be the republican candi- dates before the electoral college. Such would be in response to popular de- mand from republicans throughout the country.

SENATORS.

Give the governor the aid which comes from having a united senateI From the Nineteenth district Currie Gilmour IS a man who has the time, the ability and the inclination to work for the best interests of the district. He is not hampered by any office or machine, and has a record as an office holder which strengthens his can- didacy
 In the Twentieth district, Frank H.. Hinckley of Stonington has shown by his service that he should get the sen atorship. No stronger representative of the people of the district could have been named. He is an active worker, and every town in the district should give him a good majority; while Lu- cius F. Whiton of New London is equally deserving in the Eighteenth, and E. H. Reach of Killingly in the Twenty eighth, C. H. Blake of Brook lyn in the Twenty-nlnth, and Mayro Keeney of Somers in the Thirty fifth are men to be relied upon. All are chosen for their fitness. They not only stand for party, but the best in legislation. Men of strength and prominence in their own communities, they can be depended on 10 work for the best results at Hartford.

JupaE OF PROBATE.

When half the districts in the state find it to their advantage to keep the judge of probate in office, regardless of politics, when they get a good man it is time Norwich followed suit. In a most faithful and conscientious manner has Judge Nelson J. Ayline presided over the court of probate in this district With unfailing courtesy moderate charges in the settling of estates, ever-ready and thoughtful ad- vice and assistance to those with whom he deals, the great advantage of experience, and strict attention to duties without the distraction of out side offices, he is an ideal candidate and it is time the district gave him such an indorsement that 1t will de- termine the belief that Judge Ayling is the choice of all the people. He is the nominee of three parties today His record is a bulwark of strength Return him to office by handsome majority.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES AND
 PROSPERITY.
JOHN ECCLES. ASHLEY T. BOON

This is the day when the voter faces the voting machine or the ballot box. It is m important duty which by all means should be performed, but it is equally important that it should be performed well. Everyone should con- sider carefully just what he is doing before he pulls the lever or marks his ballot Everyone should want d con- tInuauce of good times, plenty of work, good wages, constitutional government and progressive legislation. All this and more is assured by the pulling of the second or republican lever or the placing of a cross in the circle in the republican column. A vote anywhere else means a vote for Wilson, the candidate of the party advocating free trade return to conditions like those 0f ISs3

REPRESENTATIVES,

False representations against a can- ddate never accomplish what they are intended to, but become boomer ang to the maker. John Eccles knows the lot of the workingman, is friend of labor, and a man in whom confi- dence can be placed. He knows and appreciates the needs of the wage earner and the position of the unions Standing for the compensation act, for the interests of the workingman, the town and city he is a man of good judgment whose presence is needed ir Hartford.
 Ashley T. Boon is likewise a man eminently fitted to secure for Norwich the proper representation at Hartford Strong men are needed and these two candidates of the republican party are an excellent choice. Norwich Is likely to have important legislation before the general assembly next year. Let us send there men who can and will ac- complish something, men who will be listened to and whose words will carry weight. Give us two sturdy and stable representatives like Eccles and Boon
