wanted to know something about tax alton and whether it would be a zone tax or the full city rate. Some talk on matters relating to taxation and property valuation in New Britain followed ad Mayor Quigley informed the visitors that a new re-assessment committee is now taking up the mat ter of a readjustment of property val ues in this city.
 Harry Taylor of Kensigton said city water is needed in KensingtOn and fire protection would be a big aid in bringing down insurance rates. John Carbo was favorable to annexation and thought it would be a good thing for Kensington.
 In response to a question as to how annexation may be secured, Judge Gaffey expressed the opinion that the correct procedure would be to go be- fore the legislature with a committee and that later a referendum vote would probably be required Senator Stevens said Berlin would probably be opposed to the proposition and on a referendum would no doubt seek to defeat the plan. B. l.. Teich of the revision committee asked what New Britain would have to do about talk ing kens1ngtOn over. Judge Gaffney said the council would probably be called upon to act in the matter.
 The discussion took a historical twist and an argum ent arose concern ing the split between New Britain and Berlin in 1850. MT. Kehoe maintain ed that New Britain secured two rep- rcsentat1ves because Berlin asked to DC set off, claiming that a town that petltloned to be set off lost it's repre- sentat1ves. MT. Stevens said represen- tatlon was split, New Britain taking one and Berlin one Mr. Kehoe de- cJared that New Britain took both representatives and left Berlin one senator Stevens replied that two rom two never left one and the laugh was on the New Britain gentleman
 Dr. Wooding finally declared that he feared the proposition had been presented wrong end to and favored going back home and getting the sen- t1ment of the village on the oues- ton. Judge Gaffney assured the Ken Slngtonians that the committee would do no more about the matter unlHs hcnsington did act.

LABOR VOTE NOT DELIVERABLE.
This Is the Outstanding Fact Which
Political Philosophers Deducc From
the Defeat in Maine of Repre-
sentative McGiIIicuddy.

From among the numerous lessons
or conclusions which the political phi
losophers can draw from the Maine
election one lesson or conclusion
stands out more sharply defined than
any other. 1t jumps at you.
The labor vote, for the sake Of
which the Poltroon Congress tarred
and feathered Itself with its own
hands only dozen days ago, is not
deliverable by the traders who pre-
tended to sell 1t.
This salient fact Of the election is
Illustrated conspicuously in the Sec
ond Congress district. There are few
places within the confines of our
republic where labor is relatively
stronger than in the city of Lewiston,
the home city of Representative Nc
Gillicuddy, and he has made q spe-
cialty of 1t in his own political prac-
uce. In the Second Maine, II any
where, would there be indications OF
any return, in the shape of votes. for
the surrender of Congress to the four
Brotherhoods. After campaign
which might almost be called desper-
ate in its effort to save McGillicuddy
and one Democratic seat in the House
from the Republican onset, Mr.. Nc
Gillicuddy was defeated by an ad-
verse plurality of nearly 400, whereas
he had been elected to the Sixty
second Congress by plurality of 1889
and to the Sixty-third by 1,2S1.

Wincino Democrats Trying to Run
Away From the Record Of the Ad-

Voters Down Rhetorical By-Paths,
All in the Thinly-Disguised Effort

When Mr.. Hughes criticises the rec
ord of the Administration the spokes-
men Of Mr.. Wilson cry: "What would
you have done?" They forget that it
is Mr. Wilson and not Mr.. Hughes
who is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
Mr. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt through
out the campaign and that Mr.. Taft
and Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
spectiye records. instead Of crying
"What would you have doneT They
forget these things or they refuse TO
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record of the Admins
tration and induce the people TO fol-
low them down some by-path of rhe-
toricaI hypothesis. all in the effort to
change the subject.
"By their fruits We shall know
them" When Mr.. Hughes was Gov
ernor of New York he did not pay
political debts by filling the public
offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudiate them after
he entered office. AS Governor. he
did not resort to brave and beautiful
words as substitute for firm and con-
sistent deeds. He was careful in his
use of words but he backed his words
with deeds. He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not a
rhetorician. he was not a flatterer, he
was not too proud 10 fight" for labor
or for capital, for the strong or the
weak, when the right was on their
side.
Mr. Wilson's spokesman seek to di-
vert attention from the attacks Mr..
Hughes is making upon the record of
the Administration by asking him:
"What would you do?" they are IN
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
are recalling to the memory of the
people the record he made throughout
his two terms as Governor of New
York. 1t was then that he first said

that makes him so different from Mr..
Wilson: "Hughes means what he
says" So it is that the campaign is

two men. with sincerity as the differ
entiating and deciding factor.

HUGHES OR WILSON?
ROOSEVELT'S ANSWER

Against Mr.. Wilson's COM
bination of grace in elocution
with futility In action; against
his record of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we
see Mr.. Hughes rugged and I'M
compromising straightforward
ness of character and action in
every office he has held. We
put the man who thinks and
speaks directly. and whose
words have always been made
good. against the man whose
adroit and facile elocution is
used to conceal his plans or his
want of plans. The next four
years may well be years of ire
mendous national strain. Which
of the two men do you, the
American people, wish at the
helm during these four years:
the man who has been actually
tried and found wanting. or the
man whose whole career in pub
lie office is a guarantee of his
power and good faith? But one
answer is possible; and it must
be given by the American people
through the election of Charles
Evans Hughes as President of
the United States. Roosevelt

NOT AN ElGHT-HOUR LAW.
Recent HoId-Up Legislation Does
Not Shorten Workday a
Minute.

As a matter of fact, Ii is not
an eight-hour law at all. II does
not curtail the trainmen's work
day by single minute. If an
engineer has been receiving 50
for working ten hours day, this
law will raise his pay TO 1925;
but Ii will not shorten his work
day even the tenth part of sec
ond. This is no more like the
true eight-hour principle than
chalk is like cheese.
The reason why people call
this an eight-hour law is be-
cause it says that in the case
of railroad trainmen they shall
get their days pay for the first
eight hours work, and all the
rest is to be considered over
time.
Do not tell me that this strike
could not have been called off or
postponed if President Wilson
had shown that he meant bust
