Boosting Borah for
the Presidency.

Senator Borah is being doomed
for the Presidency. He is a strong
man IN the East and West, and
especially so in the west. He is
a Western man, well trained in
Western ideas and ideals. a prac-
tical politician, progressive i'll his
sympathies, yet staunchly re-
publican. He will receive much
favor from the progressive re-
publicans and from those who
bolted in 1912 to the progress
ives. He will 40 wever very prob.
ably have the standpatters op-
posed to HIM. He is assured of
support of the West, but the
West as yet does not control the
National Conventions.
Senator Root will very prob.
ably be the candidate of the
conservative Fasteners; and he
will be a hard man for Borah to
run against.
Still times are propitious for
the progressives. The progress
ives hold the balance of power,
and very possibly, Borah as a
man who has catered to pro-
gressivism without leaving the
republican party may be nomin-
ated in order to unite the repub-
lican party to bring the prodi-
gals back to the old party. The
only hope of the republican party
is to get the progressives back,

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Vaudeville and PhotopIays

For unavoidable reasons the Irish and Scotch Tabloid Players who were to open the week at the Auditorium theatre on Monday with a musical comedy farce entitled Shaun's Fare well. were unable to appear and so the Tabloid players who were to ap- pear the last half of the week in the Scotch playlet, McGregor's Anniver- sary Day, were substituted. Shaun's Farewell will appear Thursday, Fri day and Saturday of this week.
 The heavy rain had some effect on the size of the houses at the theatre on Monday, but nevertheless it was an appreciative and enthusiastic audience that greeted the company of a dozen players Monday afternoon. Their opening scene, showing the golden wedding anniversary gathering about the banquet table, drew a big hand, while the many musical numbers fully merited the hearty applause. The Scottish costumes were exceptionally pretty and the stage setting was ap- propriate.
 Mary Pickford appeared in one of her best characterizations in Rags, the Paramount feature film. The com edy was When Lizzie Went to Sea, by the Nestor company and there was also one of the popular Paramount travel pictures.

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 13.-The state board of pardons today pardoned two life prisoners at the Wethersfield pris- on-Joseph Cenesky Of Waterbury and John Dynes of East Hartford. Conesky was sentenced in 1906 in connection with the famous Lockwood murder and Dynes was sentenced in 1873 for the murder of Edward Bliss in Burnside. Hymah Pollock, sentenced Oct. Is, 1915, from New London county, for con- spiracy to secure false testimony in a divorce action, was also pardoned.
 Pollock was sentenced in the su- perior court here last October to from one to two years in state prison after Louis Sternlieb and Samuel Golumb had been found guilty of the con- Sparicy charge brought against them. The sentence for Sternlieb was from three to five years and for Golumb two to three years.
 Pollock, according to the story he told when he turned states evidence, was to be the instrument by which Louis Sternlieb was to secure evidence for divorce suit to be brought by Louis Sternlieb against Dora Sternlieb, his wife. The plan was, Pollock tes- tifed, for him to be caught in Mrs Sternlieb's rooms. It was worked out that way successfully, but he found when the police were called into Mrs Sternlieb'S apartments on Water street in this city in the early morning of Feb. 10 that he was made a prisoner with serious charge against him and here before the case could come to trial. The time that he has been a prisoner since his sentences makes about 10 months in all that he has been in jail and prison.
 Fifty-three prisoners, including one

 Cenesky, who is 31 years old, had served more than nine years of a life term sentence for the murder of Thomas Lockwood, a prosperous farm CT who lived near Middlebury. The murder was committed Feb. 27, 1905 and the ostensible motive was robbery. Charles Bennett of New York and Ed plicated in the crime. The murdered man was beaten to death after a fight. Cenesky claimed that he did not know murder was to be committed and while he admitted that he was with Bassett and Leonard, he argued that his presence outside the house con- stituted the extent of his guilt.
 Bassett and Leonard were both ar rested, the former dying recently in prison while serving there, wrote to his mother, which gave the detectives a clue as to his whereabouts. His ar rest and conviction followed.
 Dynes and Oscar Graves were sen- fenced to life from Hartford county on September 23, 1873 for the murder of Edward Bliss, the station agent al Burnside. Grapes is still in prison al Wethersfield. On previous occasions two grandchildren of Dynes have op- posed his application for clemency

Bushnell was suffering from severe diseases, impaired health and enfeehled and deranged mind so that she was incapable of making a will and also that Nettie L.

FOUR LED DISCUSSION
 IN CITY BIBLE CLASS
On Whether Christianity Can Success
 fully Combat Heredity.

The question of whether Christian ity can successfully combat heredity made a topic that was interestingly discussed on Sunday at the session of the City Bible class for men at the Central Baptist church. The 96 men present listened with close attention to the thoughts advanced by the lead CTS in the discussion, who were Dr. Curtiss Bernard, Attorney Charles L Stewart, Judge John H. Barnes and Fred L. Vergason: No vote on the views advanced was taken, though the opinion generally prevailed that the question remained undecided.
 The Sunday school orchestra played several selections during the hour that the class met.
