Tell The Editor.

The newspaper man is blamed for
g whole lot of things he can't help,
such as using partiality in mention
ing visitors, giving news about some
folks and leaving others out. He
simply prints all the news he can find.
Some people inform him about such
things and others do not. An editor
should not be expected to know the
names and residences of all your un-
cles, aunts and cousins, even if he
should see them get off the train.

NEW LONDON IN THE OLD DAYS
Recoections of Time When City Owned Only Hearse in Town-Politicians Are at Work in Anticipation of Mondays Election-Aspirants For Legislative Honors

The republican snominee is Frank None, young Italian of excellent reputation and the best of habits, but who is now in the political game. He has the honor of being the first man of his nationality to be nominated for membership in the court of common council, and no better representative could have been nominated.
 His democratic opponent is Andrew J. Collins, a resident of the ward for over a quarter of a century and who was only defeated by a few votes when he was nominated for Alderman against Clarence w. Thompson. This is the first election since the appoint ment of William H. Farrell as mem Der of the democratic state central committee, and it is said that he is determined that there will be a demo cratic victory in the Fourth ward. It is understood that he intends to prove beyond question that he is the man of the hour and will show his political strength in the election next Monday. Wait and see?

There is some rubber heeied polit- icaI work being done in regard to the selection of candidates for representa- tives in the legislature and as a re- suit some very good timber has been hauled into the political mart, both republican and democrat, but the re- publican is free from knots and flaws. In the presidential year, when party politics controls the voters, there is a mighty slim chance of any democrat getting a look-in.a Still the democrats have mentioned some good names as among the possible nominees of that party notably James R. May, who so ably represented the city in part in the legislature of 1913 He had fully as much influence in that body as any member on the democratic side and worked for the best interests of he city with his team mate, Frank e. Cronin, who expects and deserves the senatorial nomination. Other demo- crats are mentioned and among them are William C. Fox, William A. Holt Thomas F. Gragan and Thomas R. Murray and Former Governor Thomas NJ. Waller, who has ~afd that he would prefer to be a member of the house than be senator.

At this distance, there is nothing to indicate that any democrat has a Chnaman's chance of being elected q member of the 1917 legislature. For that reason the great majority of re- publicans area hopeful that the very best available candidates twill be nom. mated, and that majority seems to have centered on the nomination of Henry R. Bono, easily the most prom inent and most popular candidate named by either party, with Philip z. Hankey as his running mate. But even should Messrs. Bond and Hanl1ey come right out and declare themselves to be the candidates it is believed there would i1e opposition from the minority in party caucus. Knowing that republican victory is reasonably sure there are more aspirants for leg islative horrors than usual on the re- republican side.
 Thomas E. Donohue has come right out in the open and declared himself candidate for representative, and so has P. Leroy Harwood but it is a question whether the latter would put up any fight for the nomination. He is not that kind of a politician If his party wants him he would be will ing to serve, but he would not at tempt to force himself on his party. There are several others but just at present the party leaders are en- deavoring to confine the candidates tc Bond and Hankey. They are hoping that MT. Bond will consent, and they know MT. Hankey will.
