No matter which way he goes he is met by the inevitable stone wall of intolerance. Those who now try to hold up to the country the futility of keeping the troops on the Mexican border must place a low estimate on the intelli- gence of the American people. They must think that memories are rather short in this country, that the nation has forgotten the series of events after the Columbus raid less than three months ago, and the Carrizal affair only last month. Take the troops away now and Woodrow Wilson will be defamed from one end of the land to the other. Leave them there and his name is denounced anyway, so what boots it? There are some peO- pie who cannot be satisfied.

ASKS FAIR JUDGMENT.
Dealer in Controversy
 With City Officials Answers Attack.

Editor New Britain Herald,
 Dear Sir:-KindIy allow these ad- ditiOnal remarks relative to my letter to the common council.
 I regret very much that my letter was misinterpreted and as some of the mem bers of the council seemingly reached the conclusion that I was dissatisfied because of not selling the city supplies I wish to make it known that I am not in the garage business, but am running an experimental sta t1on and selling autom obiles, there fore am not looking for the city's business, but l want to let the public know that the methods employed in buying supplies was not fair to the dealers, and that in buying supplies, and in buying autOmobi the city did not ask for competition, which every business man using business judgment resorts to.
 Every judge must hear both sides of a story and 1 want to take eXCep- tion to Mayor Quigleys remarks that I am disgruntled dealer. I leave it to the public in passing judgment Such language as his honor used is more fitting to a petty lawyer Wrang- ling a case in a small town court and does not apply to a dealer who ranks in the successful class with the com pany he represents. l believe the transfers we have made and listed with the secretary of state will prove our success.
 In regard to MT. Landers' remarks I wish to state that this is not a dealers quarrel as he interpreted my letter to the council. l was not there to de- fend this remark I can make it clear to the public in whose mind alone I will be content to have wrongs righted. l am not the only dealer who is complaining over the way the city conducts it's business, not the only business man who is looking for fair competition, and because l seek fair com petition, is my letter to be interpreted wrongly?
 As others claimed they did not re- ceive fair treatment from the council I gave my letter to the press as | wished the public to know what IS gO- ing on in the way cars have been
New Britain herald., 1916-07-22

purchased. I was not ashamed to sign my name to my statement and I am not dependa bIe on the present admin istratiOn for business, for any trans action I make must be on it's merits and if the city were fair and could not afford to buy a good car and had to buy old cars at outrageous prices I would give them a new one free of the same make that is doing such good service in other cities, for I know that it would save the taxpayers some money.
 The mayor also states in the public press that the city saved between $500 and $400 by the repair work done on the automobiles repaired at the Elm street station. Where is this saving |? When used cars supposed to be in first class shape warrant such an eXpen- allure they are more fit for the junk heap than to serve the city I still fail to see the saving.
 Thanking you for your valued space and allowing the public to be in formed of some of the methods that the buying powers of this city have used in buying automobiles and auto- mobile supplies without a fair show to those in the business.
 Very respectfully yours,
 A. G. COHEN.

The annual outing of the common council held this past week, although sV majority of the city fathers present were rock-ribbcd republicans, devel- oped into nOn-partisan pOlitical-love feast in which Mayor Quigley and Judge B. r. Gaffney shared the honors of having innumorable nice things said about them This state ment in reference to the mayor makes 1t obvious that Councilman o. F. Cur tlS was not present. But the gather- ing was a love feast pure and simple, and without doubt seems to Dresa ge the reelection of Judge B. F. Gaffnev as judge of probate next fall. This was the salient feature of the outing
 Memb bers of the two opposing political parties fraternized like long lost brothers and cooed soft words into each others ears like a lover beneath harvest moon. Hon. George M, landers, the real leader of New Britain democracy, made neat speech eXtolling Mayor Quigley to the skies In effect, MT. Landers declared that Mayor Quigley is giving New Britain one of the best administra
 tions the city ever enjoyed. Not to be outdone, Mayor Quigley returned the compliment by lauding the virtues of Judge Gaffney. Anfng other things, Mayor Quigley declared that it is his earnest hope that both parties Will unite in the fall to nominate the judge. It will be rAmem bcred by those cOnVersant with local politics that couple of years ago Mayor QUlgIcN was one of the ring of re- puhicans that held a Would-be secret session at the Hotel BelOin to make an attempt to elect JudSe James T. Meskill and Attorney Emil J. Dan berg as judge and clerk of the pro ! ate court respectively in place of th" present inCUmbents Judge Gar- noN and Attorney M. II. Camp.

Hughes and Wilson.
(NeW Haven UniOnD

NAStN I1dNSu C1lOn.) Those who know MT. Hughes best, who have studied his record and his utterances, doubt whether he would prove a wiser man than Woodrow Wilson in momentous days of unpre- cedented crises.
 President Wilson is human, as the rest of us are, including Col Roose- l welt. Unless MT. Hughes friends claim that he is super-human and infallibe it would be difficult to imagine that he is superior to President Wilson. Americans without strong partisan ship feel ill at ease and very fearful of electing MT. Hughes president for the next four years-the most trying period in the history of the nation.
 Americans do not want war with any nation and President Wilson has tried to keep us out of trouble. He has had to contend with not only the obstreperous and provoking and sometimes humiliating activities of foreign powers, but also with the in cossant and irritating criticisms of the frenzled jingoes of our own breed. He may be deceived quite as often and as astonlshlngly as most of us are de- ceived, but he cannot be bullied. He certainly has tood firm against being bullied into war
 In the present emergency Col. Roosevelt, MT. Hughes and others who are leading in the opposition to President Wilson's reelection should sustain President Wilson's effort to guide the country and prevent a war, of any kind
 President Wilson now heartily fla VOrs the preparedness which the people ask for. But beyond the pow erful cOtcric of jir,roes the people do not want war. and the common people will surely work together to sustain President Wilson in the aw- full trial which confrOnts the nation.
 Col. Roosevelt is a partisan and a great politician. If he were jst a common, ordinary, red-blooded American he would support President Wilson in this crisis. He would call for a square deal for the man who is doing his utmost, unseIfshly and pa triotically, to keep the ship of state in clear water.
 MT. Hughes is wholly unlike Col. Roosevelt and it is impossible to imagine that he would stand by to help a fellow-American who hap 0ened to be on the other side of the political fence as a candidate against him for the presidency.
 It is imaginable that MT. Hughes would rather be president himself. What has he said as to what he will do. or try to do, to show that he cares a fig for the consequences of his candidacy to the country? All that he Is trying for is to defeat President Wilson, and independent voters don't think that he should he. defeated, and they find it hard to reconcile themselves to the idea of Nr. Hughes as a successor to Pres idcnt Wilson.

one. And when they do that the name ernOr of New York, will be carved high on the mountain side. When it was all over but the shouting it was discovered that former Governor J. Frank Hanly, of Indiana, had received
 440 votes as against 1S1 cast for the man who wanted to take Sunday School politics out of the Prohibition
 party. Thus it was clearly demon- strated that Wild Bill came up only to blow.
 The PrOhibitionists are to be con- graduated upon their choice of candidate Governor Hanly is an in- herent part of the party. His two Gov. Foss of Massa chuusetts, are late comers They are political soldiers of fortune. Although Wild Bill would have it understood that he has been a Prohibitionist since the days when Hector was a wee small pup there is no truth in the thought. It has been just about two years ago that he came out publicly in favor of Pro- hibitiOn Tn contrast to this record, Gov. Hanly has been esp0used to the cause for many years back or since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary. And he has done some great work for his party. His four years experience as governor of h. diana and his career in state and na- tional legislatures will stand him in good stead. While there is no hope of his winning out over Hughes or Wilson,-th Prohibition Party never securing any more votes than either of these two candidates will get iii New York state alone,- Governor Hanly will make a clean run. And this is more than can be said of William Sulzer, for, after his public career and his impeachment in New York he has lost the respect of a large gathering of the pOpulace. Eliminating that end of it, the at tempt to inject a bit of religious bigotry into the Prohibition program at St. Paul would have had a dire effect upon the candidacy of the Hon. William, for there are those who sense the serpent in the grass. And there is but one thing good for a snake bite, so the scientists affirm. Consequently the PrOhibittonfsts | would not be in any too great demand | with Sulzer at their head. They will 1 fare better with Hanly, and what l Sulzer calls Sunday School politics, 1 If ever Sulzer is nominated for the | presidency by a national party they should change the spelling of his l name and give him running mate l called Lemon.

FAUITFINDER RS-AT-LARGE.

Not long ago the professional fault finders with President Wilson's Mexi- can policy were at a standstill. They moved neither to the left nor the right. They pursued what they previously de nounced as the policy of watohful waiting. They did not know whether to attack the President because the troops were sent to the border or jump on him because the troops were not sent to the border sooner. They were not sure whether we were going to war with Mexico and consequently did not know on what wing to attack. It had to be one way or the other. Either the President must be drawn and quartered because he ordered a war, or he should be shot at sunrise becaust he did not go to war. Now the dilemma is passed. There is no war and President Wilson must be un- justly criticised for rushing the troops to the border and not sending them to war after he got them there. Where once all was jingoism now things have taken on an air of paci- fism Two months ago the country to a man wanted war. Now nobody wants war. Consequently the new field of operation against Wilson is free and untrammelled.
 The questions are going forth throughout the land, What are the boys doing on the border?" By what who make these interrogations em- phatically assert that the troops should be ordered back home. There is nothing for them to do. It has been only month or so since the en- tire country was demanding that every man big and strong enough to carry a rifle should be sent post haste to the border. After the Colum- bus raid the United States army could not get into Mexico quick enough to 1 suit these people. The Pershing
 punitive expedition was the savior of l the hour Now the assailants of the
 Administration want 1t withdrawn
 never to return to the land of the cac-
 tus. Congressman Madden of Illi- nois in his wrath at the Mexican poIi- l cy introduced a resolution demanding
 to know why Pershing is kept in
 Mexico, why the troops are on the l border.
 l Were all these charges not so wicked
 it would be to laugh. No matter
 what is done the opponents of Wood- | row Wilson must credit him with l blundering. If he tries to patch over the difficulties and keep the nation out of war by resorting to diplomatic l overtures he is condemned as a writer l of notes. If after exhausting all his 1 patience in this direction, he is forced
 to send the army to quell border riots

There seems to be no apparent req son why the New Haven road can not do in New Britain as it does in Plainville and elsewhere and paint the gates at the grade crossings a different color than the plain white. It certainly would cost the company no more and would be a great heno11t to the corporation as well as to the public Tn PlatnviIc for instance, crossing gates are striped alternately black and white like a harher's pole. The same is true of a grade crossing in BcckIev on the MiddletOWn branch. The benefit of this is obvious.
