New London. Nov. 10-It is surely the unexpected that happened in New London last Tuesday when the city, conceded in normal times to have a republican majority of between 300 and 400, Hops over and establishes a record democratic victory, and with out any surface cause. It is not be- Ieved that any individual in the city had any idea that Congressman Free man would be heaten in his home town, or that James R. May would defeat Frank Cronin for the State senatorship, or that William A. Holt and William C. Fox would be elected representatives over P. Leroy liar wood and Philip z. Hankey.s.r But such things did really come to pass
 It is fortunate that the victors are fully as well qualified to fill the of fees to which they were elected as would be the vanGuished, and there fore New London will be ably and per- haps acceptably represented in the next general assembly. But why this
 flop? Why this turnover? It was as- serted in this correspondence a week ago, based on the statement of per- haps one of the very best republican party workers In the city, especially on preliminary work; that the town committee was inactive. Be that as 1t may, there were very few stay-at- homes. So the flop can hardly be at tributed to that cause. It is perfect ly plain that great many republicans voted the democratic ticket for cand- idates other than the judge of proba te

tea, you go to the store and pay full retail price for it. Probably from 40 to 60 cents a pound, according to grading and name. Of course you know that this includes various profits, as we'll as the real value of the tea. After it has been landed on this shore it perhaps goes through the hands of tea-broxer who makes his little profit, before it gets to the retailer. who must also make a profit, if he intends to keep on doing business. He can't sell things for less than they cost him or for merely what they cost him' or for any fractional driblet of profit, either When I said you 'go to the store" probably I ought to have said that your wife telephoned to the store or gave the order to a delivery clerk, who brought the tea, that afternoon or next day. In such, a case the retailer, who doesn't sell a great many pounds in day, must not cnIy make enough on one pound to pay it's fair share of his rent and his repair bills, his tele- phone and delivery bills, his clerk hire and insurance, to say nothing about helping to make up his losses through bad debts, but also enough to insure him a living and some gain to be sp- piled on the competence he is working for,

It is the biggest thing that ever hap pened in the industrial line for New London and Groton. But for the sug- gestion of Gardner and the definite action of Bond, two New Londoners, this big industry would not nave ma teriaEzed in this section. This con cern Is located on the site of the old Eastern Shipbuilding company plant, builders of the Minnesota and the Da : kota, two of the largest steel ships Of their time. There was great ac- tivity during the construction sof the ships, but when they sailed away for the Pacific coast the building concern dissolved, having served it's purpose. Not so with the New London Ship and Engine company. It will not build as large ships, but they will build small CT steel vessels and many more of them. and from present indications will remain at the old stand indefinite 1y.

There's nothing new about the dred times before in a hundred slight ly, different phrases. It did really not need jurist descending from the ap- nSllate bench to announce 1t. Not qply has it been said over and over 4&aiffy rGbut every intelligent and thoughtful farmer has recognized the condition and deplored it for many years. Every unintelligent and un- thinking farmer,-and there are such, more's the pity!-has felt it and snarl- ed at it or whined about it, even if he didn't recognize and comprehend it's real nature and cause. But there is something in the nature of a verdict in the assertion, when it comes from the lips of a trained judge, nabituated to hear causes to pierce through the veils of disputarion or befogment which obscure them, and to pronounce the clarified truth.
 take this exjudge'S remarks there fore as a strong corroboration of what very, very many of US have long seen and condemned. They show how the facts impress a strictly legal. not agri- cultural mind, unbiased by retainer fees. We farmers might be and some- times are regarded as more or less prejudiced, because the thing is so personal to us and involves to such a degree our own interests. But no such charge of bids can be brought against a lawyer. who presumably doesn't know the stem end of a potato from the seed-end, or whether to 'sbush" peas with brushes or clothes brush.

Probably it is a convenience to yo

Probably it is convenience to you to buy by the pound, as you want it, and to be saved the trouble of going to the store after it and bringing it back. Very well: if the retailer takes these inconveniences upon himself and saves you from them, as a simple matter of honesty in business he has @ right to be paid for his service as well as for his goods. And you, who demand of him those services and go 10 some other store to buy if he won't furnish them, have no right to kick or even scowl because he asks you to pay for them.

 There must have been some we'll defined cause f9e so many republicans deseFtns. the ship at presidential election, but the mystery is how it got by the powers that-be without being noticed and therefore no effcrt made to check it. Or is New London get ting to be drunk with power to the extent that the people fear that all the party power is placed within the hands of the selected few and a revolt issued?
 Just consider the political power from republican standpoint that prevails in the city, and the wonder increases why such thing could be possible, unless that power attempted to rule beyond all reason, iInpressirE 2 the freemen that they were such in name only, but instead were political serfs. Bear in mind that New Lon don is the home of a United States senator representative in congress, state attorney, judge and clerk of the court of common pleas, a county sherlft, and SC on; and vet, the repub- i1can city went for Wilson and the rest of the democratic ticket for it's full length. It gould not have taken many cities the size Of New London to do as New London did to give the state over to the democrats There | Is evidently something out of gear in the republican machine in New Lon don that ought to be investigated by experts. =, a --t--.

right to be paid for tt,-and you have the right to pay without sntveilingt


 The one to kick, if you find retail Rep soo ass as a naPns so os them, is not the retailer but yourself.
 You don't have to pay for his horses and their feed or his wagons and their repairs or his telephones or his clerks or his bad debts or his profit, unless take a little trouble and use q little
 know; because for many years have been successfully evadtng all these charges. Let me illustrate:
 are good in the spring and fall. drive out to a neighboring city. using now my light delivery auto truck. There buy, in wholesale quantities, at whole sale prices, such supplies as expert ence has shown us we are likely to need for a coming half year: Sugar by the barrel or hundred-poundb bag; salt by the sack; canned goods by the case; tea by. the chest; coffee by the bag, rice by the bag; cereals, etc, by the case; soap by the box; etc, etc.
 Naturally, it takes money to do this. for always pay cash down and there by save from two to four per cent over even regular wholesale prices. But the money has been saved in the preceding six nenths-and more than the sum needed, toc,-by being laid away for this semi annual trip, in- stead of being blown in at the retail stores. The very same amount of cash which would have gone in drib- lets to pay day-by-day retail purchas- es more than pays for the same quan- titles of the same things at wholesale. And there Is something left over to buy other things we want but couldnt afford if we had used the money all n 6-f n mouth
 The only expense Ssnnected with the proceeding is about half a days time, and perhaps g dollars worth of gasoline and oil used in the trip. For I bring back the goods with me and so save also railroad freight@:
 The savings are something mighty substantial, too. For instance the very same tea which retails in my neighborhood at from 40 to 60 cents a pound costs me, by the chest, g to 2s cents a pound. A better and purer store within my purview for 35 or 3s cents a pound, costs me p cents Sugar, which at the time of my last trip, was retailing at nine cents a pound, cost me, by the bag, $7.30 a hundred. I bought 300 pounds. We amount during the rest of the fall, the winter and the spring. At then ex- isting prices I should have paid the retailers S27 for what cost me S21. 30 a clean saving of S5.10 on one item of domestic consumption whose retail and wholesale prices usually come nearer to equality than almost any other.--And now that sugar is going up again the retailers prices promise to advance still higher.
 "But what farmer has the money to buy whole chests of tea at time and other things in like quantities? Or what farmer could economically use such amounts?" I fancy such questions being asked.
 As to the first question: Any far mer who can scrapc together money enough to pay retail bills can save enough to, at least, begin the other way of buying if he is willing to be saving, and perhaps: stint himself Q little at the outset. Then, when he has once made a start, his regular savings on every buy will keep in

 hate to be talking about myself so much, but let me say. right here, that when I began this sort of trad- ing; I had dlficulty in seraPing @ t to, : been paying a dollar one day, and two dollars another day, and sixteen cents another day for little retail purchases, so that the family exchequer was kept at low tide all the time. With that $25 bought three or four wholesale packages of things imperatively need ed. There were half a dozen other things on my list which we wanted but could scrape along without. So we went without them. It called for venience. But we managed to live through it. On my next trip had all the money we had saved on the three or four purchases of the preceding trip-which included not only the price had paid for them but also tional which we should have had to pay for the same things at retail. Of two articles we still had enough on hand so that they would last till an other trip. didn't have to buy any more of those. So I was free to lay in a stock of the others which, on my first trip, lacked cash to pay for.
 It didn't take long to accumulate all the small capital necessary.
 "But who wants whole chest. of tea at a time?" you persist. Certainly don't and probably you don't. But how about your sisters and your cous- ins and your aunts and your neigh bors? In that particular matter of tea we as family hardly use five pounds a year. And a chest contains from forty to sixty pounds.
 Well, 1 happen to have two neigh bors both with big families and both fond of tea. The last chest I bought contained 42 pounds and cost sss.66. l took out just two pouliAj- That. was all our caddy needed to fill it up. The pounds apiece. whereby ealA D one saved the trouble of ordering or fetching pound lots at time; saved the risk of being out at some specially inopportune time of weather or work or guest-coming; and saved S5.40 in money.

 pay for his new Ford automobile. There is no reason why farmers should feel. compelled to buy every thing in the way of supplies at retail They can avoid that horn. of the e1 = judges dilemma, if they care enough about doing so to take the trouble and use the sumption.
 I have already talked about the ap- parent field for; a, whole lot. of stern small farmers in establishing, each one for himself. local delivery routes in which he can supply his produce direct to local consumers at retail prices. That plan lodges the other horn of the .ex-judge's dilemma. The difference between the farmers buying at retail and selling at whole sale, and the same farmers buying at wholesale and selling at retail is just the difference between Easy Street and Poverty Hollow.
