lONfRCAN GOING
 ON POLITICAL STUMP
Being Sent Oui b) Congressional
 Campaign Committee.
Especial to the Herald )

Washington. D. C., April 4.-Much political significance is attributed to the announcement of congressional speakers in the two congressional dis. tricts in which elections are to be held next Tuesday. And the an- to Connecticut because Congressman Lonergan of the Hartford-New Brit ain district is one of the four speak CTS to be sent to make the whirlwind wind-up of the campaigns.
 The congressman picked for the work are Messrs. Lonergan of Con- necticut, Harrison of Mississippi, Montague of Virginia and Covington of Maryland Two will go to the New Jersey district where a success be chosen and two will go to Boston where successor to Congressman Curley, new mayor of the Hub. is to be chosen.
 The selections were made by the heads of the democratic congressional campaign committee, of which Chair man Doremus of Michigan is chair man. It is understood that they go as representatives of the democratic national administration.
 Special stress is made on the fact that two of the four speakers voted against the president on the free tolls repeal bill. and the other two voted with the president. It is thus point ed out that the much talked of breach in the democratic ranks, supposed to result from the insistence of the pres ident on the free tolls repeal, has not materialized and that the demo- cratic rank and file, irrespective of their differences on the one issue. are

 Other Old Publications.
 "The Commercial Advertiser is the oldest newspaper in the metropolis. having been started in 1795 and is still in existence. The first prominent daily paper issued in New England was the Boston Daily Advertiser and was published March 3. 1918. The Hartford Courant' Is the oldest istence. it's first issue being in the year of 1764. In the year 1893 there seemed to be great demand for a cheaper priced paper, and on New Years day of, that year the first penny daily published. called the Morning Post was started, with Horace Greeley as one of the pub- fishers. partners and printers. At first the methods used to get out each edition were very crude. the press UScQ D0An& LH0 WOOu0n SCT0W press used about the middle of the fifteenth century.
 First Cylinder Press.
 ''The first cylinder press was com pleted in the year 1911 and the inventor was Saxon named Fred erick Koenig. Since that time there have been many improvements, all tending toward advancing the. speed and reducing the cost of putting out the edition.
 The Linotype Machine.
 Another great invention toward rapidity and less expensive publica- tion is the linotype machine. most wonderful in it's creation. The in- ventor, one Ottmar Mergenthaler, worked for years before he accom- plished his task of doing away with the old method of printing with founders type set mostly by hand. To Whitelaw Reid belongs the honor of giving the name to this wonderful machine Cline of typeD linotype, and also of first using it to print a daily newspaper. Many improve ments have been made since Mer- genthaler's death in 1899. At the present time there are in circulation 26,235 publications, 25,000 being printed in over 12,00O cities and each

year shows an increase. In one year alone there were 1,573 new publica- tions.
 First New Britain Paper.
 The first paper ever published in New Britain was called The Shep- herdess' and was issued by the village girls in the year 1887. It was pub- lished bi-weekly and dealt chiefly with moral and religious subjects; it's chief editor was Nancy Smith, a very accomplished young woman. After years existence, at the time of Nancy's marriage to Horatio Waldo the paper was discontinued. The New Britain Advocate was the first newspaper in New Britain and was started about 1840. The March issue of 1850 con- tained an account of the return of Elihu Burritt to New Britain.
 New Britain Herald.
 ''The New Britain Herald was start ed April 3, 1880 as weekly paper by Adkins Bros. It was sold in 1881 to c. E. Woodruff who started a daily edition. In 1882 the Woodruff com pany started semi-weekly and this was published until December, 1882 when the Evening Herald was started and the semi-weekly discon- tinued. In September, 1887 the Her. ald Publishing company bought out the Herald and consolidated it with the Observer and have been publish ing it daily since that time.
 Another Local Paper.
 'In 1860 Valentine B. Chamber lain published the New Britain c~1~ L. to the Civil war and the News was lished it under the name of New Britain Record Two years later he took as a partner Samuel Baker and Sylvester c. Durham, now president of the Travellers Insurance company, of Hartford, wrote the editorials. It was bought by Samuel Baker and sold in 1888. to J. B Bacon and James l.. Doyle, both of Hartford. On June II, 1892, MT. Bacon sold out his interests to MT. Doyle and the Re- cord' since that time has been pub- lished daily.
 w. c. T. U. Paper.
 For forty years our w. C. T. U. national paper, the Union Signal has been sending out it's weekly editions and our little state paper, The White Ribbon Banner is always welcome. During the past year notices and re- ports of meetings have been pub- lished in both our New Britain papers and also in the Hartford Courant and Times. Very courteous indeed has been the treatment received from the 'Herald' and The Record and by their kind cooperation we have been able, with the help of The Courant' to give as a sum total of the years work 3.S94 lines. We feel that the year to come with it's active campaign for national constitutional prohibition brings great responsibility, it means that our reports of work along tenn perante lines must be a factor in the educf jon of public sentiment.
