YALE PROFESSOR DECLARES
 FOR SENATOR RRANDEGEE
Professor Emery Comes Out Strongly
 for the Senator's Reelection.

ical eNonomy in Yale university and chairman of the national tariff com mission under President Taft. came out strongly Wednesday morning for the reelection of Frank B. Brandegee. as United States senator from Con- necticut. Prof Emery became very well acquainted with Senator Brande- gee and the work he was doing while he was in Washington in connection with the tariff work. and says that it would be the greatest possible misfor- tune if the present senator should not be returned.
 MT. Emery was interviewed by a representative of The Register regard ing the fact that he was to speak at Meriden in favor of the republican ticket He was asked particularly as to his attitude in the senatorial cam paign between Senator Brandegee and Governor Baldwin. Regarding this he said that one of his chief reasons for speaking in the campaign at all was his belief in the importance of return ing Brandegee to the senate.
 In the first place he said that, as believer in republican principles, it seemed to- him fundamentally impor- tant to return at the present time a support of republican measures. He spoke, however, warmly of Senator Brandegee's personal efficiency as 8 senator. He spoke of him as a man of unusual ability, conscientious in his | devotion to the work of a senator, 1 and constantly growing into 8 position l of important leadership.
 l In this connection Mr. Emery spoke somewhat fully of Senator Brandegee's fine work when in charge of the Pan- i anna canal bill as chairman of the committee on oceanic canals, when among other services. he worked in fa- Vor of living up to the strictest in- depreciation of treaty obligations re. | garding canal tolls.
 Among the senator's other persona qualifications, MT. Emery spoke of the fact that there is never any difficulty in knowing exactly where he stands
 From some sources he has been at.
 tackled as being too conservative. Ont thing, however, that can be said of hin
 is that he never trims his sails merel. to the passing wind or assumes half
 way attitude for the sake of catching votes. He is fearless in taking a def , mite position for the principles il
 which he believes, regardless of an.
 personal cost.
 Being asked regarding Governo Baldwin. MT. Emery said that h, ' would yield to nobody in his adnira, } ton of the governors great ability ant l services. but that he felt that admira ton for Governor Baldwin was leadin, : some voters to misunderstood the req l, situation. After all, he said, election t, the senate is not for the purpose o giving recognition to great distinction l already achieved, or great services al
 ready performed. We elect men t.
 the senate to serve the need of tn hour. The question, then, is who cal better serve us in this particular DO
 s1tlon at the present time.
 In the second place, he suggeste, ], that 1t is not certain that. because o Governor Baldwin's leadership in thi communit, he would at once be abl to assume position of leadership il , the senate. Doubtless his great abili
 ties entitle him to such 8. position, bu
 things are not done that way in Wash ington. A party in control is con trolled by its own veterans in service
 and MT. Emery seemed of the opinio that Governor Baldwin would not b
 able to adjust himself to the demo
 cratic control which is now in evidenc in the senate and the house. H would probably not find himself i sympathetic relationship with the con : 1 trolling group. It would be years be :. fore his exceptional talents woul
 make him a genuine leader in gettin
 things done. under the rules of th
 game which now prevail there. o . has already had long experience an

 V Mr. Emery said that he always ol y jected to talking sectionalism when Il Is subject could be avoided, but that - would be simply foolish not to recos V nize southern control at the presel Ie time. The next leader of the dent e cratic party in the house is on recol ,- as saying that, of course, the cottc l; mills of New England should be r n moved to the southern states. We kno h that our present democratic repr g sentation in the house has not be- IT able to voice the ideas of Connection g. put has been forced to take their o in l ders strictly from the controlling el 10 ment of the party. If we elect der
 ocrats at the present time, either
 the senate or the house, we elect m
 | Who will not speak with authori s even in their own party. If we ele u recognized leader like Brandeg' D. D. with the possibilities of continue l., growth ahead of him, we shall have 1s representative of the interests of Co ie nect1cut who will be powerful at 'ii times. either as a leader of an effe
 tive minority or as one of the tri
 leaders of the majority who on con' i- itions have changed.
