 Nevertheless the law very strict this point and for obvious reason whisper to Smith he whisper He agree to do and not to do the thing He agree with Jones' and tell Smith the ment is merely camouflage.
 This theory of politics, but of the ap parent and evil facts of it.
 The Corrupt Practices Act of this state conempates prin cipcs and measures, well as men?
 In Sec political committee includes every combination of three to aid or promote the success of political party "or principle"
 Nobody the treasurer, political agent of ttee candidate advocating principles except appoint is filed in writing with the stipulated authority
 No person. other than candidate make contribution of money property promise valuable thing to other than the treasurer of political committee appointed to promote principle
 Every obtains any money the promotion of prncipe must report to authority telling who gave it promised it. and what he did with it. To give under name, to withhold the true facts is criminal.
 Every is guilty of Corrupt Practice who directly

 The implication to be quite clear And if were
 the advantages of public statements too obvious to need lefest
 One of the greatest evils of Connecticut politics prom ng evil saying to this little group, we will do this and to thai, i've will do something else"

 Candidates office, entrusted with legislative power should not pledge action privately people, publicly to all the people, if any pledge is to be made.
 The prohibionists need not feel lonesome Almost nobody in Connecticut does much attention to the Corrupt ces Candidate Wilson, believe among exceptions
 If the esteemed Courant has any doubts the premises they will be resolved application lawyers, of which Hartford has a number.

The most effective time to hight 10

eliminated to such an extent that they
will be hardly noticeable.
Flies breed In manure and other ami
NAL and vegetable waste. BY eliminate
ing these breeding places or by treat
ing them with substances which Will
kill the fly larvae. flies can be almost
entirely eliminated from any farm or
community.
BY starting early, any community
can practically eliminate the fly null
sance but If the fly is given an oppor'
tunity to propagate, determination 10
we'll nigh impossible. The trouble with
most anti-ny campaigns 10 that they
are not started until the fies begin
to kive trouble. Then It 10 too late for
effective work.
