PEOPLE ARE
WITH HoyNE

States Attorney Maclay Hoyne is
out with statement announcing his
candidacy for reelection. His plat
form is to be, he asserts, the record OF
his achievements during the last four
years, and on this record he asks the
voters to assist him. His statement
follows:
II have decided to be a candidate
for reelection as states attorney, and
to that end shall seek denomination
from the Democratic party at the
September primary.
This conclusion results chiefly
from the advice and assurances of
support have received from over
1000 citizens of different political par.
ties, who are leaders in business, la.
Dor, professional and civic affairs.
They inform me they will soon elect
officers and organize for an energetic
campaign.
81 regret that the existing election
laws make II necessary for candidates
for States Attorney and other mum.
cipal Offices to seek a partisan nomin.
alton. National politics and policies,
and politics generally, should have not
the slightest connection with the of.
fee of States Attorney and such of.
fees. Since the election in 1912
have conducted the States Attorneys
Office on this theory. Upon the rec.
ord made during this period stand.
II ask the aid and votes of the vot.
ers Of the Democratic party at the
September primary upon that record,
regardless of their previous factional
connections, sympathies or activities.
my determination to be a candi.
date Is and will remain, unaffected by
the action, desires or wishes Of any in.
dividual, or group Of individuals, as.
suming to give orders to the mass OF
the party voters Of this county or to
myself.
II feel II necessary to say this be-
cause Of silly newspaper articles to
the effect that certain Democratic
leaders were organizing local Tam
many and that candidates for party
nominations In this county would be
compelled by pledge to turn over the
power Of appointment and Other
patronage Of the offices they sought tC
some committee or group Of leaders.
II never have nor will ever sign
give or make such a pledge, or any
pledge whatever other than that
make in public to the voters of Cool

Fifty Years Ago:
SPORTS IN SEASON.

Now that the season for all outdoor
sports and amusements is approaching
everything is being got in readiness
by the various clubs and individuals,
lovers of field. turf and aquatics, to
est.
Among the various outdoor sports
that of baseball is becoming by far the
most popular and very properly so,
being of American origin. The
matches played last year between the
ssAtlantics'' and Empires of New
York, for the championship of the
United States. were witnessed by tens
of thousands of people.
'HThe American club, of this city,
organized last year (1865) who made
such rapid strides in perfecting them
selves by practice, and who played
some very creditable games last sea-
son, have lost none of their interest
in the game. On the contrary they
are determined to outrank all others
in the state tin the baseball line.
The Americans will meet for the
first time on Friday, March 30. Good
Friday at 9 a. M, on their grounds
north of the Wheeler & Wilson fac
tory, where friendly game is to be
played by sides chosen from the can
didates for the team. By taking the
street car you can ride directly to
the grounds. We trust that before
the season ends the Americans will
become efficient to try the Charter
Oak Club of Hartford, bout for
a ball.

LEAGUE OF PEACE
.Viscount Says Allies Must
Fight on Though Until
Victory is Won.

London. March 24-Viscount
Bryce, former Ambassador at Wash
ington, has written an article on 1.-The
Attitude of Great Britain in the pres
ent war in which he says:
We in Britain who respect and
value the opinion of the free neutral
peoples of Europe and America can
not but desire that those peoples
should be duly informed of the way
IN which we regard the circun1-
stances and possible results of the
present conflict
Lord Bryce says there are five
principles on which the aims ano
ideals of Britain in the present crisis
are essentially different from those of
Germany, namely, as to individual
IbertXs-as- to nationality which sym
pathizes with the efforts of a people
against foreign dominion; as to the
maintenance of treaty obligations; as
70 the regulation of the methods of
warfare in the interests of humanity;
10 a pacific as-epposedi to a
military type of civilization. He COM
pares the British and German attitude
on each of these principles Continu-
ing, he says:
''Our English ideal for the future
is of a world in which every people
shall have within its own borders a
free national government resting on,
and conforming to, the general will
of its citizens government able to
devote It's efforts to improving, the
condition of the people without en-
croaching on its neighbors, or being
disturbed by the fear OF an attack
from enemies abroad. Legislators
and administrators have already
tasks sufficiently difficult in recon
Cling the claims of different classes,
in adjusting the interests of capital
and labor, in promoting health and
diffusing education and enlightment,
without the addition of those tasks
and dangers which arise from the ter
ror of foreign war.
IT cannot believe that, the Ger
man people, as have hitherto
known then.I ever since I studied at
- German University more than fifty
years ago. could possibly approve of
the action of their government if
their government suffered them to
know the facts relating to- the origin
and conduct of the war as those facts
are kpown to the rest of the world.
We have had no hatred of the Ger
man people. We did not groudge
them their prosperity. Neither have
we any wish to break up Germany
destroying her national unity, or to
interfere in any way with her inter-
nal politics. Our quarrel is with the
German government. We think it a
danger to every peaceful country and
believe that in fighting against its
