Fisher Announces His Candidacy For
 The GOvernOFShiD

Hartford. July 15-Announcing lis candidacy for the nomination for govl ernor on the Democratic ticket, Pro- lessor Willard c Fisher of Midd1e4 town. in twenty minute talk to the employees at the Colt factory yestere day noon, genera1ized on his platform of government He would abolish the personal tax becauss Of the expense attached to it's conection he cham pioned the cause Of greater home rule in the state, pledged himself to- the task of building more sanateria fof the fighting of tuberculosis and believ- ed that the public should control all politics. eliminating the party bosses and substituting direct primaries. Among other things. Professor Fisher said:
 Here is present and important reason for wishing the frankest and fullest understan ding with you. Of the political reaonrcess material and irnInaterial, which usually have been employed and most effectively in Con- neeticut, as elsewhere. have as good as none The only possible way for me to make headyVay politically is to create or extend in the minds Of men like you ,a firm conviction that I am honest and not lacking in intelligence, courage or sympathy with you. Tn no other way can win.
 This. state ought to adopt rigid busin ess-r methods of public finances The financial conditions Of the state. are bad. As late as 1907 the state had no n4t debt. but a cash surplus of more than a quarter million 6S2s5. 5 47o9. Six years later at the close of. the last complete fiscal year. the net debt was $6.T4s.66s. and more than ST. 900, 900 of bonds were out. This is not right: and 1t can be changed without tn1pairing the public services The checking of over-Iavish outlay in some of the departments and the correction. of some obvious inJustices in taxation would restore the proper balance or the funds"

BROKERS ANXIOUS TO DISCOVER CAUSE
 OF MARKET BREAK
tT,he Barron F,lnancial News.l

New York. July 15-fWall Street is trying to learn whether the technical position of the security market has been weakened by the marked lack Of resistance shown in such issues as New Haven, Missouri Pacific, Denver G Rio Grande and Chesapeake 6 Ohio. It is SprobabIe it will find that this is tention owing to! their comparative strength in sstIe face Of weakness in the above mentioned securities. As 8 result, many spectators bought them in the belief that, when the pressure on Missouri Pacific, New Haven, etc.. ceased the stocks wllichA exhibited. f1rnness would move up sharply That m meant the creation of a weak bull ac- count which was all the weaker be- cause many of the buyers lacking suf- hcient confidence to stand pat ur1- der all circumstances. placed stop losses behind their purchases and could therefore be shaken out by a. com parative decline.
 It is an open secret that New York of17ciaIs of vvestin ghouse Electric have not from the first regarded the strike which has just been settled as an -un- mixed disaster. The company from a business standpoint was probably bet ter able to stand the strike than at any previous time in it's history. New business since March S1 has been 25
 
 age and 1t has been only by drawing on untitled orders that plants have been operated at about s5 per cent. of ca pacity. New business did not fall away during the strike period so that unAlled orders are now of large voI- u1ne.
 The Wiliys- Overland company con cluded on June 30 the most successfuI years operations in it's history with an increase in output of ears Of s1ight- ly more than 40 per cent. and nearly as large a gain in gross earnings, Net $6 500. 900 and ST, ,O00000, or better than 30 per cent on the $20, COO 900 common stock now paying regular dividends of per cent Last year, the common was given an extra 5 per cent dlvt- dend, which. called for Si 0o0. .ooOS in cash The conpany could easily repsat such an extra dividend this year and may in fact decide to do so1nethlng of the kind However it is under stood that MT vVfIlys has ambitious plaRs in mind Tor another huge in crease in output next year. and if this is the case the profits above the reguIaz. dividends may be left in the business
 The opening or the week witnessed no material change in the. local mone- tary sttuation so far as the price of accomnaodation was ooncerned As at the close Of last week call loans renewed at 3 3-4 per csnt and though fixed date funds were reported strong CT, this was not reflected in any mark ing up of rates. Tn view of the low levels to which the banks surplus re- serve sank on Saturday this status quo of the market would seem to in dicate continued shifting of loans to Interior institutions and foreign quar- ters.
 urthernore. local banks are allow ing their comm ercial portfoifos to run off as they mature, which is another reason accounting for the Contraction 5of their loan account shown in Sat- urday's return.

MAY SUE EXPRESS cos
 FOR OVERGHARGE TO u. S

Washington, July 15.--A resolution was introdueed yesterday by Repre- sentative Kendall of Colorado, calling on the attorney general to inform the public whether he has in contennp pla.- ton actions to compel the express companies to refund to the govern ment moneys collected in excess of the rates charged by those concerns to individual shippers.
 Tn a recent ruling the interstate commerce commission held that the rates charged the government for the express bushes were exorb1tant. For 20 years the express companies had contracted for government shipment of moneys.
 Mir Kinde1 charges that the rates on this business were higher than those charged individual shippers. Mir. Kindel is of the opinion that the government should institute suits to collect the overcharges-
