STEERING THE PEOPLE
 TO BALDWIN AND MAHAN
Political Leaders of the State Are at
 Work.

Now that the war fever has sub sided, temporarily at least, people are beginning to talk politics. That there will be a state and congressional cam paign next fall has been more or less lost sight of by the average citizen though it has not been lost sight of by those who make 1t a practice to see that the people are not misled in their choice of candidates, say the New Ha- ven Journal-Courier.
 There seems to be a growing opin- ion that Governor Baldwin will have the running for United States senator all to himself on the democratic side. Congressman Bryan F. Mahan will be a candidate, but the talk is now Veer- Ing to Mahan'S chances for the nom ination for governor and his chances likewise for election if he gets the nomination. Now all this may be news to Mahan, but that's the way the dem ocrats hereabouts who are in touch with the inner circle of the game are talking.
 The democrats have been trying to figure a winning combination on those two places and they have not yet found one. Not that there are not plenty of candidates who might be able to win. but they want someone for governor who will offset any dem ocratic defection from Baldwin and they want man who if he has any weakness will be pulled through bY the governor. They think that a corn2 bination of Baldwin and Mahan might do the trick
 Just what Lieutenant Governor Tin gier and Willard c. Fisher and Sem ator George M Landers may have to say to that program will not require any great amount of guessing and the democratic state convention next Sep tember will be a fairly lively affair when they come to nominate a state ticket. Homer $. Cummings seems to be out of the reckoning for any place this fall as it is said he is will ing to wait and go after Senator Me Leans seat in 1916.
 There seems to be no great opposi- ton to Senator Brandegee on the re- publican side.
 For governor on the republican side there is very little talk as yet All consistently connected with the. nom- ination, but no one knows if Judge Henney would take it. The name of Everett J. Lake has come to the front principally through the efforts of those responsible for the purity com mittees formation. Lake has a great many friends in the state, however, and If there should be 6 fight in the state convention on the question of a revision of the method of represen- tation Lakes friends will poll more votes than is expected. Speaker Web ster of Harwinton will have great deal of strength in the small towns and he will take the nomination if it comes his way.
 For congressman all five of the pres ent holders of seats will be candi- dates for the renominatiOn, barring the unforeseen. Of course if Mahan lands the nomination for a higher of flee there will be Q new candidate in

 Again Raymond J. Jodoin may want gets out of the race. On the republi- can side William A. King of Willi- mantle and ex-Governor Frank B. Weeks of Middletown will probably have lightning rods up.
 In the third-the New Haven dis trict-there is no organized opposition to Congressman Reilly and he may have a walkover for the nomination. On the republican side the leaders are talking seriously of the chances of Representative Charles W. Evarts of Milford who was recently appointed county health officer He was one of the republican leaders of the last house and was a candidate for speak CT. Col John Q. Tilson is also in the ract and 1t is more than probable that other names may be mentioned before the time for the convention comes around
 Thre has been no talk yet of can didates against Congressman A. J. Lonergan in the first or Hartford dis trict. He will probably get the nom- be that E. Hart F'enn will go gunning for the republican nomination agoin this year. He has the political habit and is popular
 There is some question as to the in tention of Ebenezer J. Hill in the tenth Congressman Donovan beat him out in 1912 and Hill may want anothtr try at the game. If he. does he will again find Jerry on the job fortified with statistics as to the num- Der of times i'll was absent from the house in his many years of service there
 Congressman Kennedy will be re- nominated without a question.

Thirty-seven years of change and growth in Norwich were recalled. in an interesting way in a paper read by Dr. Anthony Peck on Monday evening before the annual banquet of the Nor wich Medical society. It was thirty seven years ago that he came here by the boat line from New York and first placed foot in Nor wich at the old dilapidated station at the West Side. Tn his paper Dr.. Peck went on to describe the conditions and changes that he remembers, as fol- lows:
 There was at that time vest pock- ct edition of horse railroad running q mean walking )to Bean Hill and to Greeneville only
 The snow was deep. so the funny little cars were replaced by a bob sleigh. For warmth there was lot of straw on the floor. The cars walk ed once an hour to Bean Ell ana It took an hour to do it. Think of that, tho next time you rush up to Bean Hill in less than ten minutes.
 Let me tell you of some things. as 'I remember them, thirty seven y ears ago. or less.
 No Plate Glass Windows.
 Then there was not a store in Nor wich that had a plate glass window All of the windows on the first floor of the Wauregan hotel were small and had four panes of common glass.
 On the corner where now Is the Norwich Savings bank, there was a peanut stand.
 Where now stands the Shannon building then stood the old Norwich bank. an insignificant one story build ing fianked on either side by small buildings. Still other small buildings stood where now we see the Lee & Osgood block. the N. s. Gilbert block
 1xID
 The new Auditorium hotel and the handsome Majestic, now building, re- place very inferior buildings. The same is to be said of Judge Thayer's build ing.
 Then the station of the Norwich and Worcester railroad was behind a lot Of unsavory houses and was fit home for rats.
 All but the youngest among us can recall the buildings which stood where now stand the Chelsea bank, the Thames bank. the First National bank ing, four as fine bank buildings as any town of this size could wish for.
 From the house on Washington street (now occupied by the Rev. MT. docks, and from Washington street to the river there was but one house. the old Sturtevant homestead; now there are nearly thirty houses.
 Bliss Place Circus Lot.
 Nearly a score of houses occupy the Bliss Place, then it was a field for the animal circus
 Scores. and probably hundreds of houses have been built on the hill- sides of lower Laurel Hill avenue and on that beautiful street in Thamesville then there was practically nothing be- yond Pierson's barn on West Main street.
 T out; neither was Rockwell Terrace nor Washington Place. Sachem Terrace was a cow pasture and Sachem street a mud hole, from end to end. Broad-

way, from the top of the hill, north ward, was ditto. Park church and the court house we're only just completed and St. Patrick's, church was not fin- ished until years afterward.
 There was not a theatre in town, unless Breed hall were called such by courtesy.
 Old Blacksmith Shop.
 Where now stands the handsome First Baptist church, then stood John Hunters blacksmith shop. with the usual display of old fellies. tires, smashed wagon boxes and old iron.
 There was then in Norwich not a hospital of any kind, no T. A. B. building. no Y. M. C. A. building, no post office building, no Masonic tenn pie, no telephone exchange building.
 The Del Hoff was a dingy furni- ture store, G. A. Davis store was a small annex to the hotel, and the Cen tral building was wooden church. There was no Slater hall and the old and outgrown Academy building stood where now stands a new and modern building.
 Children who were doomed to at tend school in East Broad street (and by own children were among the vic- tims) sat in rooms with no ventilation except what blew on to their backs through cracks around the windows; while the toilets were a burning dis grace.
 Lincoln avenue was only half its present length, Williams street had only nine houses; now there are more than thirty.
 Think of the lights of those days: only here and there a gas light, which smoked when the wind blew
 Most of the stores were lighted by kerosene lamps and many of the streets were dark as pockets.
 I well remember when the late Col Osgood announced that electricity had come to stay"
 The Old Horse Railroad.
 Let us go back. for a moment, to the old horse railroad.
 Last summer I saw three of the old horse railroad cars now used for q summer camp. If the lettering had not been on them, I could hardly have believed my eyes, they were no tiny; but small as they were, two horses could with difficulty drag them up Franklin street. Many time l have walked home. rather than witness the struggles of those horses.
 In icy weather they often fell They had to be shod every day and the corks were good for one round trip only. Finally they hooked a third on to one corner of a car. to help out. On reaching Rockwells corner a boy unlocked the traces. drove the horse back to Franklin square and waited for the next car.
 The cars left Franklin square in two directions only; now they go out in eight directions Now the cars run four times as often, and often carry four times as many
 Toward the end of his service, MT. West the superintendent remarked that the horse railroad business in Norwich, was dead" So it was. under those conditions. The railroad was dead and the public was dead tired of it. Now it is doubtful if there is a city in the country of this size. better accomf1modated by trolley lines.

Martin Church of Montville, who was struck by a Central Vermont train last Friday. was fortunate enough to get out of the accident with only slight injuries. He was badly dazed at the time but the only external injuries were slight cuts and bruises on the head.
 MT Church who Is very deaf, was on his way along the railroad track with a basket of fish which he was taking to Beetham's about 4.30 in the afternoon, when the northbound train came along. It reached him near the Kitemaug station and had slowed up as 1t was approaching the bridge where repairs are underway. Just as the train came up to where he was walking along the side of the track. he stepped up directly in front of the engine and was struck by 1t and hurl- ed of about 30 feet. He was picked up and taken to Montville on the train where he was given medical attention. To the fact that the train was going slowly at the time. Mir Church prob- ably owes his life
