If all the members of the state leg
islatnres in all the states could be
assembled in mass meeting the diys
ion along party lines would be as fol-
lows
Democrats, 1867.
Republicans, 1920.
Progressives, 1902.
Socialists, II.
Independents, 16.
These figures, according to the Pro.
gressives, are prophetic. In the first
place, they say, the Progressives have
elected a sufficient number Of legis-
lators to insist upon laws enacted
to carry out their platforms. The fig
ures also tell Of the hopeless division
between the republicans and the pro-
pressives and the ascendancy of the
democrats, which it is declared will
be maintained as long as there is the
sharp division in the republican party.
Mile. Marie Denizard, the FreIche

elected but is making a test to see
whether d woman can hold that high
office in the French republic.

NJ. Gutllotin was inconsolable for
what he considered as an Involuntary

settled gloom, and his hair, of a
snowy Wilderness, afforded a clear in

had aimed at relieving the sorrows OF
human nature, and he unintentionally
contributed to the destruction Of q

soon grown weary of those executions,
which they showed the same eager

During ten years the output Of the

this seems to indicate that many of

THRASHER

Veteran Foe of Liquor Interests Plans Crusade on Chicago
 Social Evil

Hartford, April 1s-A testimonial dinner will be given Samuel P. Thrasher at the Hotel Garde, this ev- ening, and will be attended by prom inent men from all over the state.
 MT. Thrasher who was for fifteen years head of the Law and Order League of Connecticut prior to the or ganization of the state police, will leave for Chicago, Saturday morning, to become superintendent in that city Of a committee of 15 which has for it's special object the supervision of the white slave evil in that city. The salary is understood to be a little un- der S4,000 per year.
 It is understood that MT. Thrasher was urged to apply for the position of superin tendent of police in Chicago but did not care to undertake the task. During his active years in law and order work MT. Thrasher was very much in the limelight but the ''com- ing of Matt O'Brfen rather put him in the background.
