ONLY ONE THING TO DO.

;. That the people of Norwich have &een impressed by the men who have askeen named from this district, by the Egepubltcans to represent Connecticut
 and the district in the upper ond lower
 house of congress is what was ex- pected. It is only what is true through S Out the state and district. In view of si the existing situation they are the men fneeded in Washington. They are men Ssf ability and stand back of principles
 which are not antagonistic to the in- Aterests of Connecticut and they are men who can be depended upon to Ra|rotest to the utmost against legisla- tion which is known, to be hostile and % inimical to their constituents.
 The fact is ,ass was said by Chair x man Hall in a. recent republican cau- q GUS, concerning the statement of the democratic nominee for reelection
 to congress wherein he considered his q renomination as an endorsement of his S acts and the Legislation passed by the recent congress. that 'tsome of this Slegislation has already come home to z syoost and the rest of it sooner or later sFill have to be repealed if the rights ' and liberties of the people in their bill of rights and constitution are to en- I Edure."

 It seems 10 us that the friends of Professor Fisher do not meet the issue squarely in the matter of the $500 paid him for drawing up the workmen's g compensation act. No one assumes that he was not entitled to a decent return for his work. The point is that Professor Fisher has been sharply criticising the legislative committee for having had 'one put over'' on it in the compensation act which did develop some unexpected flaws. The chairman of the committee reports that if his conmittee was deceived it is up to the professor to explain as he drew the bill and was paid $500 for the work That contention is plainly quite differ ent from a mere mattersof wages.- Bristol Press.
