of The Hague convention. None could more clearly turn on the interpreta- ton of the terms of treaty. It seems difficult seriously to contend that this difference between Great Britain and the United States is. within the mean Ing Of their convention of 1908. one affecting our vital interests. our inde- pendence or honor, CT concerns the in- terests of third parties.
 Connecticut, so far as foreign powers are concerned, has placed her honor, as a state of the American union un- der the guard of it's president and senate, by assenting to the grant to them of the treaty making power. She must look particularly to her two sen ators to see that her faith as well as that of all the United States is pre- served inviolate.
 I recommend the passage of an act requesting them to give their support to any proper convention that may be negotiated by the president for the reference of the claim of Great Britain as to the true legal construction of the treaties on which she relies to the permanent tribunal of arbitration at The Hague.
 Other matters which shall desire to bring to your attention will be sub nitted later.

Hartford. Jan. s.-The message of governor Simeon B. Baldwin was read in the general assembly today. It reAds in part as follows: MT. President, and Gentlemen of the
 General Assembly:
 The political events of the past few years have made it clear that the peo- pie of the United States and of this state desire a more direct share ln the work of civil government.
 Responding to this sentiment, the last general assembly called u-~- con- gress to propose to the states for rati- dcation an amendment to the constl- tution of the United States providing Cor the election of United States sena- tors by a direct popular vote. Such an amendment has now been thus pro- posed to the people of the United States for their approval. I recom- mend the prompt passage by this as- sembly of vote of ratification.
 Election of President by Popular Vote I recommend to you the adoption of a resolution requesting congress to propose an amendment to the conStl- tuition abolishing the device of nresi- dential electors, and allowing all the electors in the several states to vote directly for president and vice pres1- dent; those who are the choice of plurality of those voting in each state to be credited with the same number of votes from that state as under the
 
 stance. now entitled to cast seven votes through seven presidential cleo tors, would be credited, in the final canvass of the votes of all the states, with the same number of seven votes; the only difference being that they would have been cast directly by the people for themselves. The provisions for the case of a failure of any nerson to obtain majority of the votes so given by the several states would be the same as now.
 Amendments of the State Constitution
 The last house of representatives proposed seven other amendments for your consideration.
 One is designed to place salutary restraints upon special legislation, and to forbid it in any case which is or could be covered by a general law. l recommend its approval
 Another amendment proposed would require a two thirds vote in each house, instead of a mere majority, as now, to overrule an executive veto. I recommend this amendment to your approval.
 The law as set forth in our general statutes gives our supreme court of errors power to review the evidence in, appealed cases and, if the court below has drawn errone eous conclusions of fact from it, to grant a new trial It also gives an appeal to the courts in many eases from orders or decisions

SYRUP OF FIGS IS BEST FOR A
 CHILD.
if It's Little Tongue is Coated, Breath Feverish, Stomach Sour and Bowels CiogGed.

Every mother immediately realizes after giving her child delicious Syrup of Figs that this is the ideal laxative and physic for the children. Nothing else regulates the little ones stomach, liver and 30 feet of tender bowels so promptly, besides they dearly love it's delightful fig taste.
 If your child isn't feeling well; rest ing nicely; eating regularly and acting naturally it is a sure sign that it's little insides need a gentle, thorough cleans ing at once.
 When cross, irritable feverish, stom- ach sour, breath bad or your little one has stoma ache, diarrhoea, sore throat, full of cold, tongue coated; give a teaspoonfu1 of Syrup of Figs and in a few hours all the foul, constipated, sour bile will gently move on and out of its little bowels without nausea, gripfng or weakness, and you will sure ly have well, happy and smiling child again shortly.
 With Syrup of Figs you are not drugging your children, being con- posed entirely of luscious figs, senna and aromatics, :t cannot be harmful
 Mothers should always keeP Syrup of Figs handy. It is the only stomach, liver and bowel cleanser and regulator needed-a little given today will save a sick child tomorrow.

1 of executive or administrative authori-
 ties, such as county commissioners or
 the public utilities commission. 1 These provisions of our statutes the | supreme court of errors has held to be, | in whole or part. in violation of the constitution.
 The last house of representatives proposed an amendment to the consti- | tuition to give express and unmistaka- ble sanction to these statutes and to any similar laws which 1t may here after be deemed proper to enact. I recommend thf~ amendment to your approval
 Election of Municipal Judoes. It Is the prevalent opinion that our present method of electing municipal judges is unsatisfactory. The choice is generally made in effect by county caucuses and largely for political con alterations.
 The principle of nomination by the governor and election by the general assembly, first adopted for the su- preme court of errors and the superior court, has been for years, and with court of common pleas and the district court of Waterbury. In my opinion, it should be now further extended to all municipal courts.
 I recommen that the same course be adopted in the case of the Judges courts, and that the proposed consti- tutional amendment (making all judges elective officers) respecting them be not approved.

 Of the remaining amendments sent forward by the last house of repre- sentatives, one looks to a four years assembly; another would repeal the
