STAMFORD ROOMS CUMMINGS.

Stamford Advocate, Sept. 30, 1916.)
 Albert Phillips. who is displaying his customary energy as a campaign
 manager, says he expects that The Homer s. Cummings League, started this week, will continue to grow until it contains a large proportion of the male inhabitants of Stamford. Due allowance must be made for MT. Phil lips commendable enthusiasm, but it is pretty certain that MT. Cummings will receive in his home town, next November, a vote that will show an appreciation of the distinguished hon. or conferred upon one of our fellow townsmen. Most of the Republicans who vote for MT. Cummings, how ever, will not identify themselves with they wide-awake organization formed to promote his candidacy. They will manipulate the voting mechanism in his favor because they know MT. Cum mings as man of the very highest ability; because of the reputation he has established in this town; because he has been ready and willing, when ever opportunity offered, to help the town tand to encourage every public movement designed to benefit it, and

UDGE PECK Strafords amiabe boss, made ghastly ai y ure of his campaign, in election in which citizens voted without party label
 lines will be drawn tight Since Straford Republican town under normal conditions the judge ought to stand better chance
 But he has deliberately handicapped himself in the spirit of joyous egom which caused him send out letters to his fellow citizens asking them to leave everything to him.
 The judge is running for three ofices which would ordn ariy be regarded too many and too much.
 Would the judge not be acting wisely in his behalf if hd laid down two of these nominations offered himself office? T
 There is the path that heroes tread There is the path of prudence. g
 The judge travel under banner embazoned hree jobs
 We by advise the judge to his line of action He knows Sraford better than The Farmer does Many will however if the around that the judge defeated because those who want to give him something but not thing split their votes three ways 4t
 It's like this judge Assume that Sratford has 300 Peck voters and 300 Peck voters and 300 independents who would like to give Peck one,offce, but not three
 Peck then gets the 300 Peck votes and hundred ndepen- dents making 400 votes for judge of probate But his oppon en gets 300 votes and 200 independents and elected
 Peck gets his 300 for representatives and another hundred independents. He is beaten. f
 gets the and another hundred independents for justice of the peace and is beaten again
 But if the judge should for office and get all dependents he would be elected to that offce Think judge.

 IS PROSPEROUS

The war has brought prosperity to the Scandinavian countries, and al- ready the governments of Sweden, Norway and Denmark have shared in this prosperity to the extent of suffi- cient funds to pay off all their public indebtedness. The loss in value of foreign exchange has enabled the Scandinavians to. discount their for eign obligations by from 10 per cent or more in the case of the Allied coun- tries and by nearly 30 per cent. in the case of Germany. Denmark has made millions out of the war in trading with Germany, demanding and receiv- ing high prices for all goods passing over the border, but the Danes have the uneasy feeling that the Teutons are only awaiting the slightest excuse to cross the border and take their groceries without paying for them," as one Dane has expressed it. Swe- den has perhaps shared most largely in the fruits of this war traffic, and this fact, coupled with the general fear of Russia, has made a majority of the Swedes pro-German in tendency. The enormous profits of the war trade have made millionaires out of many Swedes who, before the war, were only we'll to do. With agriculture foster ed by the high prices for all farm products, and favored by an unusually good season, Sweden has had the greatest crops in her history. The Norwegians have derived their great est profits from their shipping and fisheries. The shipping companies of Denmark and Norway have been yer itable gold mines, and it is poor sea- port town of either country that does not possess new millionaire colony" The Germans are willing to pay all most any price for foodstuffs from Scandinavia, but they are very pee wish because of the great prices de- manded, and all over Germany one may hear the Scandinavians denounc- ed as robbers who take advantage of their neighbours necessities.

''THE HOLY CITY"

"The Holy City," one of the most popular religious songs of the last half century, was first sung in 1895 by Michael Maybrick, the composer of the music. The words were written by Frederick Edward Weatherly, who was born in Somersetshire, England, sixty-eight years ago to-day. He was educated at Oxford, later studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1897. The writing of songs was but "side line," yet he turned out some of the most popular songs of the period, in- cluding Nancy Lee," ''The Last Watch" TDarby and Joan," and ''The Midshipmite.'

because they would like to have a Stamford man in the United States Senate. Some of the friends of MT. Cummings will refuse to vote for him because it would be contrary to their principles to vote for any Democrat for Congress. Still, it is not at all probable that the majority in the next SeDate is going to be determined by the vote in Connecticut next NoVem- Der. The impulse that prompts Re- publicans to be friendly to the candi- dacy of MT. Cummings for Senator is the same that would be in evidence among the Democrats were of this town were a distinguished member of the Republican party in Stamford a candidate for United States Senator,
 or for Governor, or for any other high offnce. In such cases there is a coni- munity spirit that rises superior to political party ties, and causes people to rally to the standard of a Stam- ford man. So you will find that in this campaign, so far as the senator ship is concerned, the slogan of many will be Stamford first" And it's a pretty good slogan in other things than politics. Stamford knows Hom- CT s. Cummings, and is proud of him.
