New London, Sept. 8.-Cyrus w. Brown, who represented in part the city of New London in the legislature of 1915, declared early in the session that it was a clear case Of never again" with him, as he had no anbi- tion to continue as statesman. De- spite this declaration, there was a lit tie boom started for his renomination and it grew into quite a political bub- ble. When a local newspaper men tioned him in connection with the re- nomination, he quickly pricked that bubble, and confirmed his declaration of never again." This official state ment was received with pleasure by the coterie of aspirants for legislative honors, and to the friends of others who may be induced to become can didates for the nonlination, which of course spells election in New London. Not even the most expert democratic political mathematician can at this time figure it out that any democrat in New London has ChinaInan's chance of being elected to the legis- lature in the coming election.
 It has been generally understood in republican circles that Senator Lueius Whiton, who represented so ably the senatorial district that is made up Of New London and Groton, would not be candidate for renomination, and the senator being selected as one of the
  f1rmatioR of that understanding. That is the reason why Representative Frank Quinn Cronin is ar out-and-out candidate for the senatorship. He made a most excellent record as rep resentative, attending every session of the legislature and judiciary commit tee, and guarded well the best interests Of his constituency. He will undoubt- edly receive the we'll deserved promo ton. The calling of Mir. Cronin up higher will leave the field open to the two representative positions.
 With the full confidence that any re- pubiicans nominated will surely be elected, there is no wonder that there is 8 full field of candidates, and among the number is some mighty good leg isSative material. Towering above them all, should he consent to make entry. is Henry R. Bond, undoubtedly the most popular all around citizen. He is of the kind that is fully competent to represent the best interests of his native city, and he has the means and the undoubted ability to represent the city just as a. progressive city that has received much from the state and ex- poets more ought to be represented. Should he be prevailed upon to accept he could receive the nomination as one of the representatives without the slightest effort on his part. With one 
 then the other nomiifS ton would be open to the field of actual aspirants for the honor.
 Among these who have been men tiioned by themselves, or others for the nomination, are Alderman Harry C. Chappel1, P. Leroy HarWood, Philip z. Hankey, Theodore Bodenwein, Alder man E. Frank Morgan, and last but not least comes Thomas E. Donohue, who is perhaps the best working poli-
 
 received his early political training under the direct tutelage of Bryan r. Mahan, the greatest politician of them all, from 8 democratic slant. When MT Donohue woke up and saw the evils of his ways, politically, he joined the political ranks. He then showed his political hand and was elected al derman from the first ward, and has managed to keep in the political and fraternal Hnlelight ever since. If it depends upon real political work to se- cure &.he plum MT. Donohue will get in before it touches the ground. He gen orally gets what he goes after.
 There does not seem to be any scramble for the nomination on the dem ocratic side just at the present time, but it is a safe bet that there will be no scarcity of candidates as the nomination time draws near. Senator <AlLOn l. NlIIlGI IeIo t4S1uE PO4tL1LcIl O1AltO almost ever since he took Up residence in the city, and he is already a re- ceptive candidate for the lieutenant governorsIip, and Nshould'ethere be a scarcity of candidates for the chief magistracy of the state he might be a candidate for that great honor. Should these chances fade away he is liable to blossom out as a candidate for the state senatorships again. or even a representative. So New London democrats can rest" easy with the as- suranee that there will be a candidate for the state ticketS ffom1 New I4ondon, and that thefsenatorshipso or representa- tive nominations will not gotabegging. The Eeaiae!, candidate for-one of the representatives {is Thomas R. Murray. who, aside from the little Chief, Is the snost successful vote -getter in the city. He has led his ticket on several oc casions and at the last city election. twhen Mr. Murray was reelected as- sessor hs was the only survivor Of the party wreck, Like Barlkis.
