RESTRICTING THE LOBBYIST.
(Bristo1 Press)

Representative Lynn Wilson of
Bridgeport has rendered service and
is entitled to credit for preparing and
introducing a strong bill intended to
regulate lobbying. The measure APP
pears to be one with sharp teeth and
if it becomes a law will put the lob
by1st where he belongs-on record
and under surveillance. 1t appears to
us that Mr.. Wilson has studied the
matter thoroughly and has incorporat-
ed those features and penalties most
needed. He provides for the regis
tration with the secretary OF state of
a complete description OF the person
acting lobbyist with statement OF
his employers, the amount paid him
for services, and the legislation he de-
s1res to promote or discourage. There
are other restrictions and penalties of
fines and jail imprisonment. The lob
byist has long been a scandal in the
Connecticut General Asse1nly. No ses-
sion has been free from the infection.
That he is ever present and numerous
all members and observers agree, but
the trouble has been to definitely
place him. He has been subterranean
in character and methods and work
ed under cover. The Wilson bill
would compel him to come out in the
open and be recognized for just what
he is, an attorney and special plead
err for those who employ him. There
is no reason why he should not be
obliged to appear, as other attorneys
are in open court, known of all men.
The Wilson bill is an excenent meas
ure. Such a law is needed. It is
in the interests of fairness and hon
esty, and works hardship to no per-
son or interest that is frank and fair.

JUDsON DENoUNCEs THE LOBBY
lMiddIetown SUM-


According to Ex-State Senator,
Stiles Judson, of Stratford,s in an adj
dress delivered last Thursday in Mil
ford, the Republican party of Connec-
ticut is in a state of Reorganization
and abasement due to the continued
betrayal of the people by the Republi-
can leaders. He said the infamous
leadership of the republican party is at
present divided among three OF four
notorious lobbyists and the editor OF a
leading Republican Journal. Then he
proceeded to say that this organiza-
ton of republican leeches has the par
ty by the throat and has had for many
years. He said this small coterie of
men dictate nominations for the State
ticket and for the state senate. Go
ing deeper into particulars Mr.. Judson
averred that Ed. Robins for the New
Haven road pedd1ed out legislative
chairma nshipsE for years and then at
the opening of sessions set up his cor
ruption shop in the rooms OF the
board of education at the capitol. His
place has been taken by the present
purveyors of conmitteeshtps, says Mr..
Judson, who also states that the SCI
lection of Mr.. Roraback to be chair
man of the state central COMMITTEES
drove thousands of decent, self-re-
specting Republicans into the Progress
sive and Democratic parties. Not

vastly more scanda1ous than the at

then the only remedy, as 1t now APP

science and retire to private life such

PRODUCTION of a joint resolution by

his withdrawing from consideration

ment, provides for practically new
constitution along the lines indicated
last session by Governor Marshall, but
it Is done in accordance with the op-
inions Of the Indiana supreme court.
The resolution calls for the adoption
of the laws providing for the initiative,
referendum and recall, with state and
local application, and the submission
to the women of the state of an amend
ment giving women the right to vote.

of relief to suffering humanity and ask
Him for guidance through the coming
year.
I'VE began the year 1912 with seven
in the Home department and two pris.

ing the year twenty-six women, forty,
six children, thirty-eight prisoners and
seven insane were cared for at inter.
