New London, Nov. 3.-Postmaster Bryan F. Mahan as state senator, con- Tressman and mayor and as private .itizen, has boomed New London more han any other inhabitant thereof, and t'S no wonder that New London is ,ften referred to in other sections of he state as Mahan town. The whole ownspeople, barring perhaps a few Iore-headed and jealous minded demo- :ratic would-be politicians, are as proud of Mahan and his achievements Is Mahan is proud of his native city ind that is going some, and some hore. He proved himself to be the test mayor ever, the most influential md effective working state senator hat ever represented New London in ,art and no one ever did so much or New London during a single term IS did Mahan as congressman, and urely New London has not now and lever did have a more progressive itizen. All this extensive advertising vew London is getting at the present ime all over the world, and which is ure to bring some everlasting bene- It's, is also due to the persistency and ealous work of Mahan to advance the lest interest of the city.

New London and the Deutschland
But For the Excellent Work of Bryan F. Mahan Would Not Now Be Here-New White Way on State Street-Town Committee Work Criticised

Deutschland would not be in New
 London harbor at the present time and
 the natural advantages of the harbor
 and the facilities for ocean steamship
 terminals would not be receiving the
 attention of the entire world in con-
 nection with the coming of the Ger
 man latest design of merchant vessel.
 Mahan is personally responsible for
 the construction of the state pier and
 all that goes to make it complete. Of
 this there can be no doubt. It was
 Mahan, and practically Mahan alone
 who worked the million dollar pier
 matter through the general assembly
 in 1913. and it was Mahan who pre-
 vented the legislature of 1913 from re-
 scinding the action of 1911 and refus-
 ing the appropriation of $1,000, 900 for
 that state pier at New London. Had
 there been no state pier there would
 have been no Deutschland in New London harbor, for the reason that
 the only place available for the pur-
 pose along the entire water front is at the state pier. Nearly all the water
 front from railroad bridge to railroad bridge is owned by the railroad com panies centering at New London, and
 none of the railroad water front, in it's present condition. could not serve
 the Deutschland's purpose. The wharf properties privately owned are all utilized for business purposes by the owners. It is about time this condi- tion was changed. Some time ago Mahan started a movement to see if something could not be done to have the waste water front facilities util- ized, by the owners. the railroad com- panies, if possible, and if not by oth- CTS. If such a thing is possible. that thing will be done. with Mahan as the working lever. He has undertaken
 bigger rublic jobs than that and suc- ceeded. Leave it to Bryan F. Mahan. 
 This same Mahan when battling for the $1,000,0 900 state pier appropriation before legislative committee, when 1t was feared by almost everybody but Mahan that the appropriation would be recalled. he reiterated what he had said as senator when arguing for the appropriation that it would be a pay ing investment for the state. and that the state pier would rebound to the credit and benefit of the whole state as we'll as to New London. The state l Is sharing with New London in the widespread favorable advertising. and | as Mahan said. the pier would be pa- | tropized by a foreign steamship com pany before the work was completed ! and his dreams have come true. That pier has put Connecticut and New London on the map of the world and | in prominent and enduring position
 But this man Mahan drills in the
 wrong political squad. Men of his

 1t lis a long stride from the old naphtha street lights. or even the gas lights, that illumined from the old time lamp posts. to the new White Way on State street. which by night is now as bright as day for the entire length of the street. the main one, in the best sidewalked and best-ighted city in the state. A combination that indicates progress and enterprise. The full flare of the White Way was turn ed on for the first time on the first night that the Deutschland was in
 port, but the important event had nothing to do with the arrival of the German merchantmen. Still such a belief existed among some who came from the surrounding country and had no knowledge of the long planned improvement. One old chap from North Waterford in stepping from trolley car in State street. actually asked if the city was illuminated to celebrate the coming of the German, or was it a political illumination, and if so, whether democratic or republi
 can, and when the political procession was to start, and from where. He wanted to fall in, if not too late, as he had not marched and cheered the illuminations since Horace Greeley ran for president on the democratic ticket
 He said he preferred to parade for Hughes, but if it was to be a Wilson procession. he would march just the same, for he was in town for a time and was willing to march in any old
 procession, if he could carry torch and help cheer for the iHuminations just as he used to in the good old po- litical days. There was one disap- pointed Waterfordian in New London that night, but on learning the true condition he remarked: Well, maybe we'll have a torchlight procession in our town when Lawyer Geary gets elected to the legislature"
 There have been elections and elec- tions in New London but never before
 has there been less republican town committee work than precedes the election of next Tuesday. which will be perhaps the most important in the history of the nation. It may be that the committee has good dope that pre- election work is not necessary just at | this time, as republican victory, and a big one at that is positively assured. Still this committee in activity is not l satisfying to those who in the years
 that have gone have performed the party drudgery on the lists, the books and all the necessary preliminary pa per work that brought around party l success. One of this class remarked
 the other day that he could not under stand why the town committee were | not up and doing. He said that so
 far as he knew the committee had not done any advance work of conse- | quence, evidently leaving all the local
 candidates to paddle their own canoes | and that the committee would take a l general oversight of what was doing on election day.
 lie said the committee is composed
 of astute republican political workers and know just where they are at and
 know just what they are going to do but he added: 'Tt seems queer to me that. the committeeman have not gone
