The Turning Tide.
Bridgeport Post.)

The tremendous republican victory in New Britain seems to be one more straw to show that the political tide is turning. Ordinarily a city elec- tion does not mean much. But when a community with six or seven thousand votes makes a great politi- cal change and does it, too, against a candidate of the admitted great strength of Mayor Halloran, there is more than the ordinary meaning in the verdict.
 The republicans carry New Britain by over 2,0OO plurality and by clear majority of 1,SOO! The vote boiled, too, was the largest ever cast, ex- ceeding the presidential vote of 1912 by 300, thus showing public interest. Compared with that election the re- suits are significant. Then the re- publicans carried the city by 161 plu- rality and were in the minority of 1850, the progressives polling l. ATS votes. Today there is a clear republican majority of 1,S0O and that is gained against the democrats led by so splendid a candidate as Mayor Halloran!
 It is impossible to ignore the mean ing of this change. New Britain is one of Connecticut's greatest manu- featuring centers. The same cor.- ditons operated there as in Pater- son and Passaic, N. J., and the shift in the vote is of the same charac- ter. It's significance is clear. The voters in manufacturing centers do not believe in tariff which helps only foreign manufacturers and foreign workers. No other possible inter- pretation can be placed on New Brit aims vote.
 It is to be deeply regretted that so splendid a public official as Mayor Halloran is the victim of this con- dition of affairs. He made fine run, going 400 votes ahead of his ticket. But no strength saves a man in tidal wave years. The outcome is as we feared when commenting upon Mayor Hallorans renomination

New Britain's New Mayor.
(Meriden Record.) )

The big vote cast in the New Britain election Tuesday indicated an interest in the candidates for the mayoralty which must have pleased every one concerned in civic affairs as well as the politicians who were working for both parties
 To one not versed in the inside workings of the municipal affairs of New Britain, the size of the plurality of the republican nominee was some what of a surprise, since, on the sur face the administration of MT. Hal- loran had seemed to progress with out untoward friction.
 Unless we are greatly mistaken Mayor Quigley will prove an inter- esting chief executive. If signs do not faiL he will be mayor all the the time. His rather picturesque career as alderman indicates a line of endeavor which will spell progress siveness and will put New Britain in the vanguard of Connecticut cities
 He will have a republican council which ought to aid him materially in putting through legislation in which he is interested. He starts off well equipped and if he doesn't make good

Health Commissioner Go1dwater of licity regarding the public health de. partment of all cities. He is setting fine example to the country by puh- fishing a weekly bulletin which in- cludes among other items of current interest the names aand addresses of those prosecuted for violations of the sanitary code, the nature of their of- lenses and the disposition of their cases in the courts. Thus the public is kept informed of the places where unwholesome or improperly labeled foods are sold and the offender suf- fers more, doubtless, from such ad- vertising than from the payment of fines and costs.-Waterbury Repub- lican.

ECHOES OF ELECTION.
An 4AmalgaInation. (Hartford T1mes,)

\11eAt IAOAo AAAASS.t
 Victory perches on the, republican standard in New" Britain. There is no disputing the decisive character of the result in the big manufactur- ing city. George A. Quigley wins by 1860 votes over Mayor Halloran. This result is brought about by MT. Qulgley securing no less than 1,643 more votes than were given MT. Taft i'll the fall of 1912. And MT. Taft carried the city by 166.
 In the memorable election of 1912, it should be mentioned, MT. Roose- welt boiled 1,45S votes in New Britt ain. Eugene V. Debs secured 297. The difference between MT. Taft's vote and MT. Quigley's is quite we'll represented by the 1,45S which went for MT. Roosevelt, and the difference between Debs' vote of 297 and the Al which were given yesterday to the socialist candidate for mayor, or 1,45S plus the difference between 297 and Al, which is 156. This mathe- nautical calculation results in 1,614, a figure very fairly approximating the plurality which MT. Quigley finds credited to him. It would seem then that MT. QuIgley, who has been vociferously promising many reforms of material nature to the some what cosmopolitan population Of New Britain, owes his election to an amalgamation of the bull moose and about half of the socialist vote. From this, no doubt, the republicans will derive not a little encouragement for the greater struggle to come in the autumn.
 Meanwhile let it be understood that New Britain is a mighty interesting field for observation during the new mayors attempt to emulsify promise into performance.

Two Elections. (Meriden Journal. )


 Two elections have been held with in short space of time in Connecti- cut cities and on the surface con- ditions are puzzling when the casual observer tries to ascertain from them the trend of state or national politi- cal feeling. The democrats take great joy in the fact that an honored and successful mayor of the repub- lican faith was beaten by an untricd youth in Hartford and the republi- cans with greater glee even rejoice that Mayor Halloran, of New Brit ain who has been in office four years loses to a republican by a big major ity.
 There were wheels within wheels in the New Britain election, forces at work that caused big changes. So it is in all local affairs. Men win because of merit or friendship and they lose because of petty politics, because of factional rows and be- cause of thousand things that are not known or understood outside.
 We will have to have a state elec- ton before we can understand just how people feel about President Will son and his policies and until that happens all must be conjecture.

Benefits of Political Advertising Ex-
 plained By "Democrat.'

Editor Herald: ..
 As was to be expected, following the republican landslide of Tuesday, there Is the usual amount of What did tell you,'' and "I knew just how it would be,'-now it is all over.
 The republicans, justly, are claim ing a great victory. But how was 1t won? Not, believe, with any change of political preferment or dissatisfac- tion with the present administration of the country, but simply by united party; effective intelligent work; per- feet organization; ideal weather con- ditions; every plan of action prac- to the letter; a place and part for every man and every man bn the job to do his duty. Could such prepara- tions fail to bring the desired result ::
 Very much of this success is di- rectly attributable to Mayor Quigley, personally. MT. Quigley has been in the. field, as a candidate, for nearly two years, and with every suc- ceeding day his name had become so prominent and fixed as the. candidate for mayor that it was impossible to pick up a newspaper without being confronted with the fact that Mr. Quigley was to be the next mayor of New Britain. MT. Quigley is a shrewd advertiser-he knows the art and value of advertising from A to z It is the advertising he has done, and what has been done for him, that makes him the mayor. of New Britain Any man with this temerity could have had the same number of votes to his credit.
 What did the democrats do this time? Did they begin the contest two years ago? Have they had any ward caucuses, prominent speakers or get together rallies? Did they try to find upon: will they profit by this. experi- ence? Echo answers, will they?
 The same line of aggressive work and planning, not only in politics.: but in business. in war.. or; any other un- ,dertaking, will win. ...'.. >.., .. "A. We had a very practical Hlustra- tion of this keeping everlastingly at 1t in the campaigns conducted by the late Gov. Geo.. M.,. .Lilley. for con- gress and the governorship, x when the sentiment of. the state was all against him. No one thought he had
 
 paign, but for two years prior to each election there was not a billboard or newspaper in the state that did not contain MT. Lilley's portrait, with in- structions to 'Vote for Lilley,' or Geo. M. Lilley for governor" Cam paign buttons or souvenir badges dec orated the lapel of everyone's coat who would wear them; hundreds%tof thousands of booklets and leaflets were scattered broadcast containing his views and principles. Of course, MT. Lilley had "the stuff'' with which to back this aggressive, audacious advertising that won for him both the elections.
 We are now approaching another state election and. MT. Editor, the writer makes this prediction, that the party, or individual, getting into the campaign first, and keeping before the public, is the man or party which will win this fall. ssfsssas5#. sss

Local Causes Did It.
Waterbury American. )

Local causes must have had most to do with the republican tidal wave in New Britain, but the result shows that the appeal to party loyalty. the necessity of submitting to discipline, and the duty of supporting the ad- ministration, has lost some of it's hold on voters here in New England. It will be shown ever more clearly, we expect, in the fall congressional cleo tiOns.
