 he is a. strictly party man, andRWoufdI not favor any measure that eEenl tinged of republicanism. ! George Goss, the other -denocrz4ie !. nominee, is not new in the political game as he has done paper WorK of the most effective kind for the party l many years. and has been honored by the party with local nominations sev-, eral times, only to be defeated and, with the aid of his own. party. StilI ] he is a strong candidate for the leg. islature, and the republicans are warned to be on the lookout lest he wins out. MT. Goss is intensely in- terested in organized labor and has long been secretary of the Central Labor Union and an official of the State Federation of Labor. and served several terms as a state barber com-
 missioner. He knows all the ins and out of legislature procedure, as he has always been interested in labor matters before the legislature, and frequently called into the councils of the labor legislative committees.
 Warning is given republicans that i,
 they must get out the full party votes, practically pledged to the support of , republican candidates in order to win and send a republican delegation to , the state legislature. It is in support Of this warning that the strong qual- | ifications of the political enemy is given mention. There is work, real work ahead for the republican party in New London in the coming cleo tiop, insofar as is concerned the | legislative nominees senator as well
 as representatives As for the county sheriff, he is practically the peoples choice and will receive the vote of 1 the people. The representative in con- 1 greSS fortunately is in a district where

 the public print aroused the ire of 1 Former Alderman Clarence W. Thompson. who sold the motor driven patrol wagon to the city, and he came out in the public print and made dec-
 laration that the truck had been so
 badly abused by the cops who oper- ated, or attempted to operate the ma
 chine, and the wonder is that it can be operated at all. He declared that
 with just a little bit of care now and
 then the truck would do all that was
 required of it. negotiate any Till,
 travel at the rate of thirty miles an
 hour and never refuse work Ills
 charged that there were no regular
 drivers, that the car would be driven
 under any condition, with or without
 oil, with or without water. with one
 or two cylinders not working, get in-
 to wreclls. and so on. and not one of
 the driving cops ever gave tho ma
 chinery even the once over The car
 has been operated many months and has never been inside of T garage for
 attention.
 It seemed to be everybody's busi-
 ness on the police force to drive the
 machine but none take the trouble to : take any care of the same, If re- , form is needed in the police depart , nent there is room for it in the : rroper care and not in the condemna : tion of the much abused patrol wagon.
