SAY REPUBLICANS WILL
 ' REGAIN STATE. SENATE
Study of Situation It4dicates- Inereas-
 ed Strength of G. o. P.

The republicans will win hack the state senate this year, says A. F. Howe in the New York Herald Sun day. They will carry at least 3o sena- they will reverse exactly the partisan standing of the senate of 1913-1914. which was made up of 21 democrats and 14 republicans. Besides the 21 districts which seem reasonably sure for them, there are six districts in which the republicans have good fighting chance. The republicans con- cede only six districts to the demo- crats. The democrats admit they will lose a few. districts, but they say they will gain enough others. to hold if not enlarge the majority they had in the last senate.
 Defiant democratic disagreement tc the contrary, the republicans will in. crease greatly the slender majority o1 two which they had in the last houea .Trifies dispToportfonate to their i'm. portance often determine the election of members of the house, but. wits due allowance for the sinousities G local politics. it. is safe to place th& republican majority in the next house at from 30 to 40,-
 Thus, whatever the outcome on the state and congressional tickets, the republicans are assured of good working ma jority on joint ballot aad | bly.
 This does not mean, necessarily, that the republicans will elect their state ticket or regain even single seat in congress. In fact, so inequitable is leg islative representation in Gonnecti- cut that it has little if any direct bearing upon the partisan prediction of the state a whole, and even in a congressional district the relation is only less remote. Four years ago a democratic governor and a republican senate and house were elected, while in 1912, whn an entire democratic state ticket was elected, the house remained republican,
 Althoughg the state and conression- u campaign lags and there is an utter absence of political excitement which is inconsistent with that calm and deep thought essential to a proper ex- ercise of the franchise, it is too early yet to say how Connecticut will go ex- cept in regard to the general assem ply. On the surface victory on the state ticket portends for the republi | cans. with indications that they vii reclaim two if not three congressicna districts, but at the same time tho democrats appear to be gaining.

ADDRESSED MEMS MEETING
Rev. G. H. Strouse Was Speaker at
 Y. M. c. A. Service


 At the Mems meeting at the Y. NJ. c. A. on Sunday afternoon Rev. George H. Strouse, pastor of the First Bap- list church, was the speaker to the good sized gathering and his message proved very helpful and interesting. Rev. Mr. Strouse, among other things, said that it is often asked, "Why did not God make man so that he could not sin?' If that had come to pass we would never have had the joy of victory. If God had made man so that he could not sin this world would be full of mere phonographs singing the praise of God. God wants in Heaven only those who choose to follow Him of their own free will. Rev. MT. Strouse closed by saying that nature, providence and grace are all closely related for we find GGod in each.
 The meeting closed with the singing Of hymn and benediction was pro- nounced by Rev. M. Strouse General Secretary Edwin Hill led the service.

 they threw it into the road. Word was sent to the fire department and they made a quick run to the scene of the fire, putting out the burning couch and few papers that were burning in- side the house.

 have a foot of this type of service. Ever since the Norwich district won | the Boost Week banner there has been no holding them and two of the names of the people in Norwich exchange are
