The Massachusetts, Result
[From the Greenfield Gazettel

|
Mr.. Birds vote, 10, 363 over Gardner
initiates the Progressive hopes, but they
are premature in their claims. Mr.. Bird
is an attractive campaigner. His pic
turesque pilgrimage to the hill towns
tiattered many voters who had never
seen live Governor candidate before,
but who have no intention of allying
themselves with his party.
The Progressives have spent a great
deal of money, in spite of their depreca
zion of the power of cash in politics
This lavish use of funds has helped organ
ize the campaign. The true measure of
the third party cause is found in the vote
on the rest of the state ticket and the
legislature. On the lower state offices,
the Progressive ticket is from 45 900 to
10000 behind the Republican list. An
organization making such a poor show
ing and able to elect but a small group
OF legislators, is not yet a majority
party.
The candidacy of Gov. Foss drew large
ly from the Gardner vote Had the Gov
ernor kept out of it, no one can doubt
that Gardner would have had a lead over
dragged across the trail next year
1t was amusing to see how the Demo-
Gratis worked the Foss candidacy for
what it was worth to them. They con-
tinued to praise Foss and report the
great number of farmers, manufacturers
and Others who were going to vote for
him, all which helped deplete the Gard
ner vote.
The practical result of the Progressive
movement to-day remains simply in it's
power to elect Democrats to Office. 1t
draws few votes from the Democrats and
does nothing but divide the opposition
to that party. The people Of Massachu-
sets will not permit a minority to gov
ern the state indefinitely 1t is simply
question of when the majority gets tired
enough OF it, to make the compromises
necessary to get together

KENNEDY. WILL LET POSTMASTERS SERVE
 OUT THEIR TERMS
(By Our Staff Correspondent.) F

(By Our Staff Correspondent.)
 Washington, June 12. ~ Congress man William Kennedy returned from Connecticut Monday morning. He will spend a few days about the De- partment on business connected with his district. He called at the post office department yesterday morning and filed a request that the free de- livery system be abolished at the office in TerryvilIe, Litchfield County. There are, he said over 4,00O patrons of the office, the houses are num- bered, the streets have sidewalks and are well lighted and he can see no reason why the patrons of the office should not enjoy the benefits of free delivery. He added his endorsement to the petition before filing it.
 When asked if sit was his intention to nominate a candidate for the post office at Ansonia before the term Of the, present postmaster expired, he said he did not. He said that he had been petitioned to do so but had made up his mind that all the postmasters in his district should serve out their original terms. He knew what was being charged against Postmaster Gaylord, that he was a Republican and a member of the State Central Committee, and a party worker He thinks this is the right of MT. Gay lord if the duties of his office are not neglected He says he does not con stder that because a man holds a gov ernment office he should lose all in- terest in public and party affairs.
 The matter of the Connecticut Jpdgeships. he said, was unchanged. He thinks a New Haven man will be appointed to the vacancy made by the resignation of Judge Moves?
 He said he thought the Connecticut delegation had faired very well in committee assignments. all things considered Of his own assignments he thinks the committee on patents the best. This committee will have the revision of the patent laws before it, which is of much interest to Con necticut people. The committee on railroads and canals does not amount to much, and held no meetings. The Elections No. 3. is the committee that handled the contested elections case between Congressman Higgins and Mir. Iodine last year. There are a few contested election cases in this Congress and he expects his commit tee will get it's share.

COMMITTEE SATISFIED

 Washington, June 12.-After a days study of the political effect of the inn piled charges of Senator Townsend, Of Michigan, that President Wilson has exercised undue influence upon mem bers to vote for the tariff bill, 1t has been decided by both the majority and the minority members of the special committee to go no further into the matter, especially as President Wilson does not think the statement calls for any answer from him and no member of the committee has suggest ed the recall of any senator to inquire into the extent Of the Presidents S in fuence.
 The nearest approach to any indica- ton that Senator Townsend's state ment would be. followed up by the committee came from Senator Cum 1nins, of Iowa He said that before the investigation ended he was going to do what he could to have the com nfttee call directly on the President for the Information upon which he based his first statement that "a nu- merous, industrious, and insidious lobby is at work in this city against the tariff bill.

Mad at Paint

25c a gallon for paint is about $2.5 on the average job, and lots of men waited last year for that; but they didn't reckon; they got mad; wouldn' t pay it.
 There are times to get mad and re- fuse to pay; but when one's property needs protecting is no time to get mad and not paint.
 Besides. it costs more to get mad and wait than to paint.
 Getting mad doesn't do any good to your property; paint does it good by keeping-out water; no water no rot; no paint, some water and rot; and a little rot is more than enough to make a man liberal toward his painter and paint.
 Paint costs not a cent. All the paint in the world, so long as it keeps out water, costs not a, cent.

 aewing right to the line of action as announced at the start, making no bid for patronage other than on
 merit, Eleanor Cleveland and her Play CTS can well congratulate themselves over their success and those who have witnessed the performance of "'The Deserters,' at the Lyric this week can furnish abundant proof that the Lyric is crowded at each performarice and that one of the best presentations of play ever given by stock players in this city Is on the boards.
 With it's military atmosphere and its real punch .@The Deserters-' is the sort of a play the goodly majority of thea tregoers like to see. It is not of the dlfffy thin as air style and during the four acts and prologue there is not a dull moment in it.
 l It is notoriousIy true that comedy is not the forte of stock companies and Indeed any company of players changing their bill each week throu gh- out the season is mighty fortunate in deed if the one man engaged for com edy roles proves a. real comedian. In the Keith houses in New York where stock is installed they let com edy severely alone in fact John J. NEaloney, general manager of the Keith enterprises, will not book one for any of the houses.
 That is why Miss Cleveland has chosen to present next week another real live pulsating drama, .9rhe Bridge as played by Guy Bates Post and never played in this city before which is really inmateriaI. '7The Bridge" is a splendid play. 1t will be presented by the best stock company in New England and it will please the patrons Tn the matter of getting seats for it there need be no particu- lar rush. The Lyric has large capac- ity. there are at all times good seats 41-S- 1xtaSs 1 appeal to the public to come and see the production.
 Eleanor Cleveland and her players seek patronage on merit and ask no favor or quarter from any one. There is no sentiment nor sympathy in busi- ness. even theatrical business, these days and perhaps the best test of 1t all is to visit the theatres of the town and see who does the real busi- ness.

DUTY ON DIAMONDS
 MAY BE REDUCED
By Our Staff Corresr

fBy Our Staff Correspondent.)
 Washington, June 12. Senator Simmons called a meeting of the ma jority members of the finance com r1ittee for to-day, to take up the re- ports of the subcommittee on the schedules of the tariff bill. Two sub committees will not be ready to re- port until later in the " week,sbHt Mir Simmons hopes to call a meeting of the full committee before the close of the week. The two sub-eomnit- tees that are behind in their work held session Sunday. in an effort to gain time.
 It was said yesterday that there would be opposition by Democratic mem bers of the finance committees to many changes recommended by the sub-c committees, and there is a pros pect that some of their recomne enda- tions will not be adopted by the ma. jority of the finance committee.
 It has been decided by the sub committee in charge of the matter that the rates on diamonds will be cut from 20 per cent. as recomm ended in the house bill to I 5 or 10 per cent, as it has been shown to their satisfac- ton that the higher rate will increase smuggling The clause in the house bill prohibiting the importation of the pIumage of wild birds is consid- cred by the subcommittee as too drastic and that it would shut out the feathers of birds not protected in foreign countries, and the provision will be modified, the amendment to be offered, however, will not admit aigrets.
 The preliminary try-out of the Un- derwood bill before the full commit tee is expected to be the most severe test that the bill must meet before its final passage.
