BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sept. 2s.-Off1cial
Washington fails to understand the
motive back Of the reported recall Of
Gen Porfrto Diaz by President Huerta
of Mexico. One theory advanced was
that Huerta is endeavoring to demon
state that tranquil conditions have
returned. Another theory is that Dtaz
might throw his influence into the
campaign to elect Federico Gamboa
as Huerta's successor.
Many doubt If the Mexican govern
ment will be able to hold the election
on October 26. It Is pointed out that
a majority of the polling places can
not be communicated with to inform
the voters that the election is to take
place.
The constitutionaIists refuse to ent-
er into the elections They declare
a fair election cannot be held by Huer-

year-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs
Euphemon Mandozier, of this place

Mir. Thoms, Bills.

There will be raft of new bills pre- sented in the legislature within the next few weeks. Some of them will be good, others will be fool measures and others still perhaps will be innocuous appearing things with cute little jokers in them.
 There are a number of keen lawyers in the assembly this year and they should take pains to read every suspi- cious bill and see that there is nothing in 1t of nature that is going to give any person or any corporation special privileges.
 Rep. Thoms has couple of measures which are likely to arouse some discus sion. but which may pass despite oppo- sltion. These relate to activities by judges and prevent them from taking part in any political conventions or things of like nature.
 This mayhap would tend to make people feel more confident that the dis pensers of the law were more unbiased because of this action, but 1t would de- prive many towns and cities of their most active political standardization Journal.

BALD-HEADs FOR THE STAFF.

The esteemed Hartford Times waxes sarcastic in dealing with The News's protest against its support of the Purcell bill to have the governors staff chosen from the ranks of the commissioned of ficers of the state militia. To The News's direct and leading inquiry, "So long as the social diversions of the ad- ministration can be better enlivened by gentlemen of peace arrayed in the ac- eoutrements of war, who may not know the difference between @ How1tzer and a Kodak, nor be able to tell a flank move ment from a turkey trot, why drag in the regulars?" the Times makes reply :
 "Why, indeed? If we must have colonels and majors for the gubernator- ial defense, let them come from the un- terrified ranks of the Bald-Head Club of the Housatonic valley"
 The suggestion, though it smacks of insincerity, is admirable, but it's phraseoIogy unfortunate; for while the Bald Headquarters and birthplace of the organization are in the Housatonic valley, winch has been the breeding

Business Mems Associations.
Canaan, Feb. 10.

This is the season of the year when the business men of the various towns in the state of Connections, who have banded together for mutual good will and local progress in formal association, meet aud dine, There is not day that passes without some reference to & ban quet of business men somewhere in good old Connecticut. It will not soon be for gotten that the Milford business men s association met the other evening and listened to gentleman by the name of Stiles Judson, whose allusions to the po- litical machine that has been running this state for many years were, to say the least, exciting in their nature.
 The motive of these various associa- tions is practically the same and yet they differ in some interesting particu- lars. They all have the good of the town in which they are located at heart. That goes without saying, but some can boast more fascinating environment than others. Take, for example. the business mems dinner in the beautiful old town of Canaan, way up on the iron hills of Litchfield county. One would hardly expect to find that far up in the air an association vigorously devoted to the upbuilding of the town. But there Ab ASs anu bIl6 SplTlb WulCH Is lHJ6CgSu into the occasion is the spirit which Is always found as the impelling force of any great undertaking. Not alone the merchants of the town are present, but the editor of the local newspaper. the ministers. the doctors, the farmers, the representatives of every local source of vocational industry, all are there making their contribution in full meas hre to the life of the town. Nor is the mpanionship of the guests from near
 by towns to be despised. 1t is both hearty and and prolonged.
 Connecticut is indeed fortunate in the possession of these associations, No town should be without one. If they serve no other purpose than to fetch men together for social enjoyment, they live to purpose. If occasionally they do nothing more important than Co snatch some dweller in the crowded city and bear him away to where Gods pare air fills his lungs that IS lot accom- plished-for him.-Col. N. c. Osborn, New Haven Journal Courier. q
