PRESIDENT WILSON BELIEVES

PRESIDENT WILSON BELIEVES
that powerful interests are seeking to pre-
vent antitrust legislation, and his public
charge to this effect has stirred the Senate
to action. The President is said to hold
to the belief that what is chiefly the mat
ter with business just now is uncertainty,
and a psychological condition of mind
which makes for poor business conditions
The President seeks to get rid Of these
elements by insisting upon the completion
Of the program for business legislation be-
fore Congress adjourns. On the other
hand, hundreds of business men in Illinois
alone, including the Chicago Association of
Commerce, are asking the States repre-
sentatives III Congress to protest against the
passage of the antitrust program, and to
urge an immediate adjournment of Con
gress. They declare that for the last wear
they have been passing through a dull
period Of business, and that the prospects
Tor recovery are good now, if Congress
does not throw a cold blanket over them
by lll-advised legislation

THE HELL OF WAR is threatening
again between the Greeks and Turks. 1t
is declared the tension is near breaking.
The Carnegie Peace Foundation Balkan
Commission report, recently delivered,
seems to have played large part in the
crisis now pending. The Greeks are en-
ragged at the report, which greatly reflects
upon Them and which their leaders de-
clare to be prejudiced and untrue. Ne
gotiatons are now being held for the pur-
chase by Greece of two secondhand battle
ships from the American government.

STATE OFFICERS.

With Marcus A. Ho1comb, at present judge on the superior court bench as the candidate for governor, the re- publicans have named a man of the highest qualifications and to whose support the voters of the state will rally. He assures Connecticut the chief executive that it deserves and, by it's votes today, should demand.
 State affairs are in condition which demands greater study and at- tention. As governor Judge Holcomb can be relied upon to look well after it's interests. His extensive career in public office especially fits him for the exacting duties of governor. It was for that reason that he was nominated and for that reason he should be elect- ed. Connecticut needs just such a man at the helm, and today is the day to secure his services.
 With him upon the state ticket have been named men of fitness and ability. Compared man for man with their op- ponents they are entitled to election by a large majority and the voters should see that they get 1t. A vote for HoIcomb and the rest of the re- publican ticket means better conduct of state affairs.

UNITED STATES SENATOR.

The importance of this office can not be overlooked. It is highly neces- sary that it should be filled by a man of experience and by a man whose rec ord and declared policy of protection is In harmony with the demands of the state. Frank B. Brandegee has served two terms in the upper house of congress. He is one of the leading senators in Washington. He is sen ator of influence and strength, whose services cannot be dispensed with if the industrial interests of Connecticut are to be properly safeguarded- It is no time for an experiment, and de- spite the personal qualifications of his opponent, 1t is a time when particular regard must be paid to policies which they represent. The return of Frank 5. Brandegee to Washington means not only strong and efficient represen- tieion, but the support of and effective work for principles which mean. the return of republican prosperity. II would be a gross mistake for Con- necticut at this time to contribute further by the election of Simeon P. Baldwin to democratic mistakes and failure. It is likewise important that this part of the state should see that Connecticut has a senator who is familiar with the interests and needs of this end of the commonwealth,

CONGRESSMAN.

Two years ago in the face of warn ing the Second congressional district sent to Washington a democrat It was 8 gift due to the prevailing con- ditionS. As the result Of that plural ity of t515 in a strong republican dis trict this end of Connecticut has shared the hardships of democratic misrule. In spite of the knowledge of what the people of this district stood for then, and which by the way they still stand for in increased numbers. our representative has bowed to the will of the democratic administration The Second district is closing it's second year of misrepresentation. It's expe- rience has been effective. More strongly than ever is it realized that the return of former business activity depends upon the true and tried prin- ciples of the republican party.
 The mistake of two years ago is widely recognized. The time is ripe for making amends through the can- didacy of Richard P. Freeman. He is pledged to principles which are in accord with the district demands. Not only does he recognize the needs, but she will work for them, and not against them. He possesses not only the abil- .ity but the inclination to represent all sections of the district in accordance with the requirements. He deserves a handsome majority.

Not Infraction of Law.

MT. Editor: In the issue of the Bull letin of Saturday, October 31st, let ter appears entitled Abuses of the F'ranking Privilege, signed by "Citi- zen" accusing the present representa- tive from the Second congressional district of gross abuse Of the frank ing privilege.
 May suggest to Citizen that the words to which he refers, "I am a can didate for reelection" does not con- stitute an infraction of the law gov erning use of envelopes marked Free
 If in the letter to which Citizen re- fers, the voter were asked to vote for the present representative. then it would be unlawful but any member of congress has perfect right to sub init for the approval of the voters in his district his record while in con- sress under his frank
 Mir. Citizen will kindly note that Mr. Mahan in his letter does not so- licit votes: he simply places before the people in his district. his record while a member of congress.

Bald or thin-hatredt rnusicaas( are unknown. This same may be saad of actors. The reason Is that constant appearance before the public makes constant cars of appearance & habit And constant care of hair ingures a heavy, attractive growth. In cleans ing the hair ft is not advisable to use a nzakesehift but always use Q prepar- a$1on made for shan1pooIng only.

IupGE oE PRoRArE.

The opportunity Is before the voters of the Norwich probate district today to endorse the services of one of it's most capable and efficient judges Of probate. For ten years Nelson J. Ayling has administered the duties with full recognition of the exacting requirements. He has kept the oface as it should be entirely free from pol itics. He gives to 1t his experience of years. He conducts 1t with unfail- ing courtesy, with conscientious con- sideration for those who must of ne- eessity come before it. and his charges are always moderate. It is for the in terests of the district that such a public official be retained. His en- dorsement should be So large and en- thusiastic as to make it evident that the voters do not consider that the office is one which should be made a political football

VOTERS SHOULD VOTE.

The task which lies before the voters today is to go to the polls and vote. It is to be presumed that opinions have been formed as to the questions involved, the principles at stake and the fitness of the men who have been named to uphold them, but there is no reason to believe that these are mat ters which can with safety be left to a few.
 It must be apparent to the most cas- ua1 observer that good government and the putting into force of the principles which mean the most for the welfare of individual and country rest with the voter. If opinions are held and not expressed on election day no ad- vantage is gained. It is simply a con- tribution to indifference and negli- gence and such are always the fore runners of unsatisfactory conditions. That such a condition should exist to the extent that it does in enlightened communities is one of the great sur prises Of the age.
 Personal and community interests and welfare and the improvement of conditions which are governed by ac- ton on election day impose as serious and vital duty upon each individual as if he was looking after his rights and investments in a private corpora ton. It is a part of the requirements of good citizenship.
 The discrepancy which exists be- tween the number of votes cast and the number which might be deposited is to a large extent due to lack of proper interest. Today is the time for the stay at home to get out and do his part in strengthening our po- litical institutions. If there ever was time to get out a big vote it is here

a reader of your paper I have never entertained a doubt that you were willing to treat all readers with fair ness and courtesy. That belief impels me, at this time. to ask you to print this brief reply to the ibe1ous state ment signed Independent Voter"
 When I assumed the duties of the office of first selectman of the town of Sprague the town was bonded for 5000, at a rate Of 6 per cent. inter with it's exorbitant rate of interest, was placed during a republican ad- ministration.
 Tn 1902, still under a republican ad- ministration. the town of Sprague was obliged to fight an epidemic of small pox. and an extra deot of $1S,0O0 was saddled upon the town. for which was not responsible. Out of my own pocket I materially assisted several stricken families.
 In 1911 the town of Sprague was under a republican administration, and during that year a town hall was erected at cost in excess of $1o,00o.
 When I assumed the duties of first selectman the debt of the town, an inheritance left by republican ad- ministration, was estimated in excess of $73,000.
 During the years I was first select man of the town of Sprague we con-
 
 of $1S,000 and that~Work was author ized by a majority vote of the town We also constructed four miles of macadam road. admitted to be one of the best roads in the state and the share of the town for that work was about S6,000, an expenditure also au- thorized by vote of the citizens of Sprague.
 At this late day I. am not going to recount the many items of expense I saved the town of Sprague. A ma jority of the voters know I reduced expenses at the almshouse and in va rious departments; that I obtained pensions from the government for two poor women. who were dependent upon the town for support, but are now in a position to care for themselves in comfort; that I have always lasoored for the interests of my fellow citizens and that those citizens have demon strated their trust and confidence in me by eleCting me first selectnlan for If years, and l am still a member of the board.
 The reasons for the drifting away of a few voters from the support of the democratic ticket in the recent town election in Sprague are known to the residents of that town. and also to many persons in New London coun- ty.
 It is we'll known in Sprague that about one week before the town cleo ton, at which I was candidate for selectman, and after I had been nom | mated as democratic candidate for sheriff, republican deputy named by Sheriff Sidney A Brown, raided an alleged poker joint and arrested sew eral young men. The existence of i that joint was known to the deputy for many months. but no action was

The excellent administration of the shrievalty by Sidney A. Brown makes it evident to the voters of the county that their interests lie in his reten- tion in office. He gives to the office the business ability which it needs. He devotes to his public duties the at- tention which would be given to pri- vate business. His qualifications and economical conduct of office demand his reelection. The experience which he has had in the office cannot be overlooked in the consideration of his candidacy. As in the past he is the man for the place.

 There were other causes for that defeat. One of them was the pres cnce of a large touring car from New London, which was used in getting the opposition vote to the polls elec- ton day.

Barnes, candi- date for senator on the republican ticket, when a member Of the House in 1897. secured for us the Montville street railway. against the combined efforts of the lobby. As a member of the House he killed by his efforts the $400,o00 mortgage now on the Gas & Electric plant in this city. It was passed, however, in the senate. His every move in the House of 1897 and the senate of 1899 was for the benefit of this town.

Contrary to all rules of fairness, Independent Voter does not sign his name to a libelous statement. It is perhaps unnecessary for me to call your attention to the fact that the statement signed Independent Voter is a violation of statute law.
