POLITICAL CANDIDNESS.

When P. Davis Oakley, who once represented this district i'll the House of Representatives, presented the name of Mayor Quigley to the recent Republican convention as the candi- date for congress, he said. in part:
 George Quigley is a republican
 and believes in the record and
 traditions of his great party
 But he Is first of all an American
 and fighter for all the people.
 My friends I am going to ask
 you to give unanimous nomina-
 tion to man thrice elected
 mayor, once by 1.S00 majority,
 once by 1.600 and once by 1900.
 We wonder whether our esteemed Mayor who is a shrewd hand at the game, failed to note the significance of the figures quoted. To an outsider, there was a certain grim humor in to convince his audience of the Mayors political strength. Had he said, for instance, that Mayor Quig- ley was elected once by 1,200 votes, once by 1,6O0, and once by 1900, the figures would have been imposing. But to begin with the highest num- Der and then gradually come down to the lowest, in speaking of Mayor Quigleys majorities, gave somewhat of an anti climax effect. We point out this fact to the Mayor in the friendliest spirit, and we are sure he will pass word on to his campaign orators to reverse the order in future speeches. And at the same time, he might tell them to get their figures correct.

qualification, without reservation!
 War for humanity and not for gain! And with the answer were pledged the naval and military forces, all the material wealth, all the blood, all the treasure of the United States; that the Imperial German government might be brought to recognize and respect our rights as a nation.
 The life of the whole nation was uuickened. Men came forward with enthusiasm. Dropping everything, they went out; some to camps to be trained to lead our proposed army; others anxious for the fighting, eager to join our first troops across; still others, hearing the call that rang in the ears of Barry and John Paul Jones. went down to the sea in shps,' to the sea Germany would bar to all but her. self. In hundreds they came, in thousands, aye, in millions. Officers who served under our flag in all chimes and under every sky vied with each other in being the first to reach the battle line. Men must have food and guns, and soon our great indus tries were wheeling into line.
 From the blast furnaces of Penn sylvania and the Middle States came guns and still heavier guns. Tho miners heard the call and answered with a will. Our great northwest heard the call and the blow left no acre untouched. The South heard the call and threw its whole wealth into the scales of justice. New England heard the call and her industries, great in peace, became her greater strength in war. Connecticut heard the call and who is there who does not know her story? She became the arsenal of the land Her sons went out 10000 before the war was weeks old. and thrice that number now. The call came to women, and they an- swcrcd.

plans are made, and they will be car ried out in due time. If Russia and the Russians should wake up and re- organize the fighting forces of that country so that an army could attack once the east front, the war would end sooner than might otherwise be expected.
 We hope what MT. Kerensky says is true. But judging from the present outlook, it will be long time before Russia can take her place again with the foremost nations of the world. in their fight against the Hohcnzollerns and the Hapsburgs.

LONERGAN THRILLS
 STATE DEMOCRATS
Wants Connecticut to Swing Into
 Line With Administration
(Sp eclal to the Herald

Hartford, June, 27.-Augustine Lonergan. congressman from the first district. presiding as temporary chair man at the demOcra tic state conven- ton which opened last night delivered an address of welcome which will go down as masterpiece of contempo- rary political platform oratory In It he traced the accomplishments of the democratic party from the time two years ago, when the nation was a t peace with all the world, through the stormy period of German intrigue and hnally the war, to the present day when America, with all her man power and her productive power m ob- llized, stands forth before the entire world as the savior of democracy. And in conclusion he points to President Woodrow Wilson as the one man in the world who is truly the man of the hour, concluding by making a strong appeal for the people of Connecticut, the arsenal of the nation, to back up the democratic column that this party, fall, to swing the Nutmeg stata into the democratic column That this party which has proved it's worth, may be continued in power by a grateful people who appreciate it's record for patriotic, progressive, constructive achievement Congressman Loner- gan's speech follows:
 Lonergan Opens Convention.
 Gentlemen of the Convention:
 we have come here to select from the democratic party of the state the men who will carry it's standard to victory at the polls.
 ln welcoming you to this import ant and privileged task, I wish at tho same time to thank you for asking me to be your temporary chairman, and to assure you the honor is appreciated. To come before you at any time as chairman is no small recognition; to have the invitation extended for a war time convention that must necessarily be important in the political history of the state, is rarer honor, and makes my appreciation so much the more heartfelt.
 When the democratic convention assembled two years ago, the nation was at peace with the world. True it was a spectator. the most interested

 Three Million Soldiers in August.
 '"The War Department, with an or- ganization for handling but 100000 at the outbreak of the war, expanded with each succeeding week until today there are 145,4 officers and 2,010232 men under arms. General Pershi1lg and his staff arrived in Paris, June 4" 1917, 69 days after the declaration of war. On October 10, 1917, American soldiers went on the firing line. In January, American soldiers took over permanently a part of the line.
 Since that time, our troops hava distinguished themselves on scores of occasions. and 1t was due in no little degree to the prompt action of Pres ident Wilson and General Pershing in brigading our men with the French and British that the drive on the west front in March was checked. To date, 9OO,00O men have been sent abroad, and by August of this year. 3,000,000 men will be under arms, ac- cording to plans of the general staff. What this means in the erection of cantonments in maintaining our, lines of comm unication, in food clothlng. and supplies, Ill caring TOT the e&~Iy peditionary force, at once suggests! itself.
 The Navy's Inspiring Work.
 "The work of the navy has beenI no less inspiring. At the beginning of the war, it had a total strength. officers and men of 9,046. At pres- ent there ares more than 310,000 of ficers and men enrolled. Since theV day war was declared, there has been, added to ships of all classes, 1nore4 than 1,275, aggregating more than 1,O55,116 tons. Smaller craft to- today in the ways total nearly SO0.l with tonnage of 420,000 In fact, s, men are working on more Americani destroyers than there were ships of this class in all the Allied fleets when hostilities began. Battle-cruisers and dreadnaughts now being pushed tot com pletion will be the largest yetA constructed in the world, and will have the biggest guns yet placed in a fighting craft. The navy has on permanent duty in European waters today. nearly 40, 900 men, more than half it's total strength at the begin ming of the war. But standing out sky, is the one great fact as to the navy's accom- mplishment. An army of { 900000 men has been transported

A Hartford contemporary carried the following on it's editorial page this morning: we very greatly un derestim ated the wastefulness of President Wilson's administration in the use of print paper when we said that fifty-five fat pamphlets dealing with general matters were issued last five of these useless thing were issued by one bureau of one departm ent."
