THE MILK STU ATION.
Milk Man. Explains Producers Fad
 of Price Argument.
Editor of the Herald:

Editor of the Herald:
 In the New Britain correspondence of the Hartford Courant it is stated that MT. J. E. Seibert, a New Britain milk dealer, charges that the proposal of the milk producers supplying the milk that is consumed in New Britain to increase their price on November 1, is a proposal to take advantage Of the shortage in the supply caused by the increased demand for milk result ing from the influenza and pneumonia epidemic and chara cterizeS 1t as 'an attempt at prOfiteering during the present extremity" If MT. Selbert has informed himself concerning what was actually said and done at the meeting of milk producers in New Britain last Thursday evening, he is aware that, while some of the producers were in favor of putting up immediately the price of milk to the figure now paid

Citizens Party Airs Grievance Against
 Secretary of State.

Secretary of State. Editor of the Hera1d
 The Citizens Party of Connecticut endorsed Congressman Augustine Lonergan as the party's candidate for congress from the First district Un- der a ruling from Attorney General Hinman, the secretary of state, Fred erick l.. Perry, refused to place Aug justine Lonergans name upon the Git izens' ballot.
 We claim that the republican secre- tary, acting under orders from Boss Roraback, took the congressman 8 name from the Citizens ticket fear ing that the ticket would surely de- feat George A. Quigley, the republi- can candidate. The Citizens party entered legal protest in writing with the secretary of state, but he paid no attention to that protest. The state secretary also removed the name of Thomas l.. Reilly, candidate for sher- if of New Haven county. We ask you to publish this letter in justice to the Citizens party.
 Respectfully,

Another Nero"

Very early in his reign the Kaiser was characterized by King Oscar of Sweden as "another Nero" the paral- Tel being based on the statement Of Renan that Nero, a minor poet, poor actor and hopeless aspirant in other arts, was mot the maddeSt or most wicked, but the vainest and most rldl- culous sovereign whom ever the hazard of events has brought into the foreground of history"

HOW THEY VOTED,

Tn view of the claims of the Dem ocrats that their members in Con- N gress were responsible for the enact ment of war legislation, and the counter claims of the Republicans that, had it not been for c. o. P support, the various war measures could not have been passed, it is N both interesting and instructive to re- view the voting records of members of these parties in the Senate and in the House. because the records fur nish the only true indication of what may be expected from both parties in the next Congress.
 Let us pass over the recent attacks of Senator Sherman. Representatives Rodenberg and Mason, and others, Gall Republicans). on the President. Furthermore, it is hardly necessary to refer to the fact that the federal reserve, farm loan, agricultural ex- tension, tariff commission, the ship ping board bill, three war revenue measures and indeed the war resolu- tion itself were passed by Demo- cratic Congress over stubborn oppo- sition by the minority. But let us consider for @ moment how the party lines were drawn in the voting on some of the other measures as well. and see whether the Democrats or the Republicans in Washington are entitled to the credit for their enact ment.
 A glance at the records furnishes us with the following facts which speak for themselves:
 War Resolution - Thirty-two Republican and 16 Democratic representatives opposed 3 Re publican and Democratic Sen ators opposed.
 McLemore Resolution (warn- ing Americans off the high seas) One hundred and three Repub- licans and thirty two Democrat ic Representative voted against tabling this resolution.
 Gore Resolution, (simiIar to 8 McLemore resolution) - Twelve M Republican Senators and two 4u ait,o+ L,Ji this resolution.
 Armed Neutrality Bill, (au- thorizing arn~ing of American # ships for defense against subma- # rines)-On the Cooper amend # ment to prevent the arming of American ships carrying war supplies, seventy-six Republican and forty-seven Democrat Repre- sentatives voted for the amend ment. There was no record vote in the senate, as the La Toilette fillibuster killed the measure in the closing days of the session despite the presidents vigorous protest
 Armor Plate Plant Amend ment to Naval BiIl-One hundred and thirty-four Republicans and two Democratic Representative M opposed, Wn1le III Jne S6narS twenty-three Republicans and no Democrats voted against it. This bill has kept the price of steel to the navy at a reasonable figure.
 Espionage Act - Ninety y-seven Republican and nine Democratic Representatives opposed; five Re > publican and one Democratic / Senator opposed.
 Food Survey BilI-Sixty- five Republican Representatives and sixteen Democrats voted to send the bill back to committee in an effort to kill it
 Railroad Control BilI-Four Republicans and two Democrats Z opposed it in the House. while in the Senate thirteen Republicans and one Democrat favored the Townsend amendment which sought to block the administra- ton measure.
 Telegraph and Telephone Con- trol Bill-Four Republican Rep @ resentatiyes opposed it, as did Sixteen Republican Senators.

5000 in France By January. l.


 Cross will have working in France upwards of 5000 Americans-a vivid contrast to the little group of eigh- teen men and women, which, as the first Red Cross Commission to France. sailed about June 1, 1917, to initiate our efforts ia Europe.
 Under your commission to France the work has been carefully organ ized, facilities have been provided, and effective efforts made to so CO., operate with the army as to carry out the determination of the American people, and especially of the members of the Red Cross, that our boys lover there" shall lack for nothing which may add to their safety, com fort and happiness.
 Your Red Cross now has active, operating commissions in France, in England, in Italy, in Belgium, ln Switzerland, in Palestine and in Greece. You have sent shipIoad of relief supplies and a group of devoted workers to northern Russia; you have despatched a commission to work be- hind our armies in eastern Siberia; you have sent special representatives to Denmark, to Serbia and to the Is- land of Madeira.
 Your Red Cross is thus extending relief to the armies and navies of our Allies. We are told by those best in formed in the countries of our Allies that the efforts of your Red Cross to aid the soldiers and to sustain the morale of the civilian populations left at home, especially in France and Italy, have constructed a very real factor in winning the war.
 What the Red Cross may be called 11nT of the war, or with the coming Of vistory, peace and reconstruction, it would be idle to attempt to phophesy But your great organization, in very truth "the moblized heart and spirit of the whole American people, has shown itself equal to any call, ready to respond to any emergency. We cannot but believe that this wonderful spirit which service in and for the Red Cross has evoked in this war, is destined to become in our national life an element of permanent value.
 At Christmas time we shall ask the whole American people to answer the Red Cross Christmas roll call. It will constitute an unique appeal to every man, woman and child in this great land of ours to become enrolled i our army of mercy. It is the hope of the war council that this Christ mas membership roll call shall con- stitute a reconsecration of the whole American people, an inspiring reasser- ton to mankind that in this hour of world tragedy, not to conquer but to serve is Americas supreme aim.

the pores in the ten yards of bowels
do.

of limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
