same man whom Mr. Holcomb rec
commended the Governor be put out
of office. If this absurd contingency
should arise, (Which we think i'm
probable), how could Mr.. Holcomb
consistently and conscientiously seek
the advice, on important legal state
questions, of Attorney General Frank
Healy? Would not the Governor
have in mind the charges which
caused Healy's removal from office?
Would he not remember that Healy
was found incompetent and that he
was accused of misconduct in office?
Surely no voter in this state would
wish to handicap the Governor no
matter whether that Governor be
Republican or Democrat, by giving
Healy who was put out of office on
account of the scandals in connection
with his Administration while Tax
Commissioner. The voters must think
inns mattef over seriously ana decide
whether they want a man like Healy
in Office branded with a stigma by his
own party, or a man like Harrison
Hewitt, of New Haven, who is the
Democratic nominee. Mr.. Hewitt has
enviable reputation in legal cir

institutions in the Elm City, and has
no blemish on his record Which is

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.

1t is a matter of great satisfaction
to learn that the Fourth Liberty Loan
was oversubscribed by almost one bill
lion dollars, the total, as announced
today, being $6,866,O 100000. 1t is
also immensely pleasing to note that
the Boston Federal Reserve District,
which includes New Britain, has the
highest percentage of subscriptions,
a record of 126 per. cent.
This accomplishment is all the
more remarkable when We stop to
consider. that the Loan was impeded
to a great. extent by. the epidemic Of
grip, influenza and pneumonia which
spread over the country during the
campaign. Had, it not been for this
factor, it is possible that 8 billions
of dollars might have been raised.
But we can be we'll satisfied with the
result. 1t proves to the boys that we
are back Of them and it will throw
CONSERVATION into the camp of the
enemy.
We extend our congratulations to
the local committee and workers who
helped put New Britain over the top
by more than two millions of dollars

Belgian Army Headquarters in
Flanders. Oct. Of, (By the Associated
Press.)-The road from Ostend to
Zeebrugge, which the Germans re-
Gently held, is one continuous fortress
with many guns silhouetted against
the sky. The number of guns increases
as the fortified line nears Zeebrugge.
The Germans evidently meant that
this line should be q permanent one.
One concrete block house, 90 by 80
feet, remains unfinished and there are
other evidences that the Germans
started work on new Notifications as
late as one month ago.
The town of Blankenberghe, be-
tween Zeebrugge and Ostend, is vir-
tually undamaged, but deserted. All
the buildings have been stripped of
copper and iron.

INSIDIOUs METHODS.

The methods of the Republican
party in the present campaign in
Connecticut do not become it.
Clergymen in the state, or at least
the majority of them, have received
letters stating that Thomas J. Spell
acy if he be elected Governor, will
comm ercialize Sunday. Mr.. Spellacy
has failed this canard. There Is as
much foundation or logic in it as
there would be to a statement that
George Klett, if he should not be
elected Senator, would break all the
windows on Main street.
A printed paper, for which no one
stands as sponsor, has been passed
around, attacking some alleged votes
of Congressman Lonergan, but no
Republican has been, man enough to
come out and accept responsibility
for the publication. "
Wednesday there appeared on the
streets in Hartford Republican work
ers passing out to Italians a paper
printed in Italian, with Governor
Holcomb's picture thereon, insidious~
ly attacking the Democrats. and the
only signature is that of 1.-THE Com
mittee'', but what committee it does
not state. 49, -.
Witness also q post card circulat-
ed, but not signed, showing Congress-
man Lonergan shaking hands with
Leader I<itchin of the House amt
quoting Lonergan as saying eff Hart
ford elects me, I'm with you Claude,
with Mr. Kitchin waving tax sheets
at New England Industries. The car
toon is by a man named Gouvreau,
who hales som eti1nes from New Hav-
en- and sometimes from Hartford.
The fact that Lonergan never made
such a statement, the fact that every
industry in the United States, north,
south, east and west pays taxes; and
that boys from every state, north,
south, east and west, are dying on the
battlefields does not appeal to Re-
publican propagandists.
The voters of Connecticut like a
frank, open, honest fight, the best
man to win. Cheap, insidious, faith

cred q regular party man, to stick
to the ship, whether she sails safely
through the political waters, or
whether she goes down with all hands
on board. We confess that we cam
not understand whether the letter of
Mr.. Klett is q frantic, eleventh hour
appeal in the hope of saving at least
himself, though his colleagues may be
defeated, or whether it should real
ly be interpreted as evidence of q
break between himself and Mr. Quig-
ley, about whose election he evidently
cares nothing, If one must judge from
the letter. which appears elsewhere
in this edition. The Hartford "Cour
ant which is always careful to re
fratn from any utterance which in its
opinion might hurt the Republican
ticket carried an article this morning
headed ''Klett and Quigley Resurrect
the Hatchet," which reads as fol-
lows:
There is much interest display
ed in political circles here con-
corning reported discord in the
relations existing between George
w. Klett and Mayor George A.
Quigley, Republican candidates
for State Senator and Congress-
man respectively, from this dis
trict While it is known that
there has never been degree of
mutual affection between them,
local Republicans had hoped that
certain differences might be for
gotten until the conclusion of the
present campaign. Mr.. Klett is
sued the following invitation to
his constituents last night, in the
form of a circular letter:
''AI1 that anyone desiring to
vote for me and not the rest of
the Republican ticket will have
to do is to pull down sthe pointer
A, which is my number"
We prefer to leave it to the judg
ment of our readers just what Mr..
Klett had in mind by that appeal. Of
it's authenticity there can be no
doubt. We admit that we are just a
bit curious as to what explanation
Mr.. Klett will offer to justify himself
for his unprecedented action,

ABOUT MR.. HEALY.

1t is inconceivable that the cleo

is not necessary to recall his actions
while Fl" Tax Commissioner, which
forced the Governor, who was a
member of his own party, to GUST him

situation today Marcus Holcomb is
Governor. At the time of the Healy
incident, Mr.. Holcomb, was Attorney
General. He was entrusted with the
duty Of Investigating the charges
against Mr.. Healy, and upon Attor-
ney General Holconb's disclosures to
the Governor, Mr.. Healy was re-
moved. And yet the Republican lead
ers have the nerve to propose this
same. Mr.. Healy for. the position
which Marcus Holcomb once held. If
Bealy should be elected, he would
be the Governors legal adviser, and
therefore, if Mr.. Holcomb should con-
tinue to be Governor, he would have
to consult. on all legal questions, AT

however, become apparent as soon as
the city is entered Ostend has suf-
fered much. The Casino is desoIate
and empty and the walls have been
riddled with shell fire. The maritime
station is a complete wreck. Many
houses have crumbled to the ground
and most of the bridges in the town
have been destroyed.
The fact that not all the bridges
were blown up by the Germans is
commented upon by military visitors
to Ostend. An alderman of the city
explained that the German general
staff had given orders to destroy all
the bridges, However the German
nom commissioned officers detailed for
the work of destruction, he added, fell
easy victims to persuasive 100 or
200 mark bills.

ABANDONING THE SHIP.

Perhaps nothing in the present po-
litical campaign has caused more of
a sensation than the letters mailed by
Senator Klett to a number of voters,
pointing out to them the way in
which they may vote for him land
not for the rest of the Republican
party" Various interpretations are
placed upon the action of the Sena-
tor. Some say that he Gid 1t with
the knowledge of Mr.. Quigley and
that the latter Intends to issue a sim
liar letter in his own behalf, if he has
not done so already. Others say that
the old sore between the two men,
which was thought to have healed,
has broken out again and that each
is desperately trying to save himself
even at the expense of their col
leagues on the ticket, if necessary.
We cannot attempt to anaIyze the
situation. 1t is battling. The action
of Mr.. Klett is without precedent so
far as we know. II has always been
ths custom for a candidate consid-

1.-THE manufacturers who are

Board should have resigned i'm

cided to take over the Smith &

to be the general sentiment
among the manufacturers
throughout the country
Undoubtedly, the rawest deal
ever given an honest business
concern was to the Smith &
Wesson Company of Springfield,
Mass, by the War Labor Board,
when that body practically de-
