"charIey'sD Boom,

If activity will win. the Hon. Charles w. Comstock of Montville and Nor wich, ought to land the democratic nomination for governor in a walk. Charley has a skillfully organized band of boomers who are now at work openly after several months of gum shoe" operation with lumored accom- paniments of sugar"
 : As booms go and so far as the prac- tical politicians are concerned, Char ley's" boom is in excellent shape with the convention not more than two months away and the primaries about five weeks off. No one is excited about it, except the Comstock following. Down this way most men take the whole thing as joke. And yet, as political manipulation goes, especially in the democratic ranks. disturbed as quarrels. the whole thing may become serious-for the democrats.
 It is difficult to believe they could for a moment consider Comstock, the corporation lobbyist of many years standing as their candidate at such a time, and not until it appears thal there is real danger of such an inex- cusable candidacy shall we believe the party in Connecticut is prepared to bury itself for another long period.
 1t is true that the friends of Com stock are pointing out that he has OOne no tIlOTS IIldn GONeTnOr DalQ- win did in the. old days. But Gov ernor Baldwin at least allowed some years to pass before he presented him. self to the people. Comstock's activ- fly goes no further back than the last legislative session.
 It Is going to be hard travelling for our democratic friends in Connection; in any. event Their best leaders, all admit it. In such situation common political prudence would suggest the nomination of men who will inspire confidence. We could name over 6 long list of men of this character Lieutenant Governor Tingier. former Mayor Thayer Of Norwich, Judge John J. Walsh of Norwallx, former Mayor Halloran of New Britain and many others. Comstock is not worthy te tie the shoe strings of any of these men, so far as keeping faith with the people is Bridgeport.

nomination, just as clear as has his friend Governor Baldwin for United States senator, with Congressman Bryan F. Mahan out of the way. It is a democratic Kilkenny flint and may the best cat win is the way some republicans view the situation. The man that defeats Mahan in the political game is the champion. In the meantime the republicans are not making any hullabaloo but are quiet ly mending the rents in the party raiment in anticipation of winning out in the coming election. There is a get-together spirit in the party that augurs well for success. Candidate for governor is being quietly groom ed and when the bell rings and the that the republican will be the first under the wire and will win in the contest for the governorship.
 Comstoek and Landers are not the only aspiring democrats for the chief mander -in-chief of the Connecticut National guard There is that oth- CT democrat, Professor Fisher, he who drafted the present compensation act and noted political economist and whose home town is Middletown, mates, some of whom imagine they are the kings of politicians. He has declared himself as a candidate for the high office and is making effort to get the nomination regardless of the aspirations of the other fellows. More may be flushed before the nom- mating season is closed.
 In the matter of senatorship it is conceded that Frank Bosworth Bran- deeee, of New London, will be the re- publican candidate to succeed himself, and at this distance, it really does seem that hfs opponent will be his fel- low townsman Bryan F. Mahan, or perhaps, the venerable Simeon E. Baldwin of New Haven. The fight is surely on between Mahan and Bald win with the chances of winning fla voring Mahan, although he is opposed by the gentlemen that compose the democratic ring of the state. But Ma han has won out on other matters at other times and with even stronger opposition than he is now up against in his efforts to secure the senatorial nomination. So whether 1t be Ma han or Brandegee, or any other man, who succeeds in securing the nomin nation New London will be very much in the flood light at the next con ventions of both of the great politi- cal parties.

Homer as War correspondent

The first war correspondent, accord ing to theory propounded by Suth-
 erland Edwards, appears to have been Homer who was sent by the editor of an Argos paper called the "ChronOs" to describe the siege of Troy. Hos tilities lasted only about seven weeks, and when they came to an end the Greek chiefs were in no hurry to re- turn to their wives. Homer was a good sort and as he drew a large sal- ary and a handsome allowance for ex- penses from the 'Chronos," he read fly accepted the scheme propounded by the wise Ulysses-to keep the war going in the columns of his paper so long as he could manage to write

 Had MT Comstock been continued as chairman of the democratic state central committee in the campaign of 1912 even that democratic land slide would have failed to elect the democratic candidates for state offices in Connecticut.
 No one can be elected governor of time in the future. who is cursed with the taint of the lobby, and MT. Comstock's friends might as well realize at once that he is just as inn possible a candidate for the office of governor as MT. Roraback.
 The democratic state convention will chose the candidate for govern . or, and as never before will the voice of that convention be the voice of the people of Connecticut, who. what ever their views on national affairs look to the democratic party as the only means of elevatlng the body pol itic in this state.
 When we speak of Mir. Comstock as lobbyist. we know what we are talking about. Will Mir Comstock deny that he has acted as a lobbyist for the following corporation: New York. New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company?
 We think not and while we have no fault to find with his choice of a profession, we state in the plainesi terms to the democrats of this state that no lobbyist is for a moment pos sihle as a candidate for governor ol any other state office in the gift ot the people of Connecticut.-Hartfo Post

Hope for Silver Miners.

The statement that the price of silver was on the decline seems to have had no founda- tiOn in fact. Those returning from Europe since the war be- gan, report that silver and gold coin disappeared from circula- tion almost instantly after the call to arms. Which, we believe, may lead to the coining of more metallic money. As to the inn mediate effect of the war, and the order made by the United States government for purchase of silver, that metal increased from 52 5-8 cents to 56 5-8 cents, but the last quotation we heard of was B and a fraction. The Mining and Scientific Press, re- liable always, says in it's issue of August % Silver is re ported to have been sold in con Sidera ble quantities in New York, August 9, at 56 cents per ounce, that price being determined by a London quotation made Au- gust 21, the first official quota tion since the war opened" Prescott Courier.

There is a widespread demand that the law be amended to keep members of one party from vOt ing in the primary of another party, either to assist friends who are candidates or to nOmin- ate weak candidates who can be defeated at the general election. It has been suggested that each voter be compelled tC state his political affiliation at the time he registers. Many favor the Cal ifOrnia plan of declaring elected any candidate who receives a majority of all votes cast at the primary. This it is argued, will prevent apathy in a party where there are no contests for nom nations.
