Topic: Reforms That Need Our Aid"
Written by an EndeaN orer.
Reforms pre- needed wherever the
human being is found
But let us first start at home, our
spiritual home, the Church.
Reforms are always being made in
every good advancing business so that
is the reason the Church eXcepts re-
forms. for the best is even not good
enough for the house OF God.
one Of the reforms now going on In
most all churches, Is the placing OF
young people in more responsible posi-
tlons. They should be on the different
bodies that make up the church or
ganlzations. They always meet the
condition Of things in a way that looks
forward and never backward.
Then most churches haven't any
meeting room for the young folks, and
some do not take an interest In the
various games or sports. All these
things help 10 make clean, strong
minds and bodies and should not be
neglected.
When you enter one OF our churches
in the western part OF the city you are
always greeted by young men and
ushered 20 a seat by another. the smile
and hearty handshake make you feel
at home. Youth has the spirit OF q
hearty welcome that the older and
more set IN their ways cannot have.
So much for our home; let us look
around and see wheer our aid Is needed.
Business needs clean and upright
minds 20 manage It. Methods that
are lust 20 each one, employer, en-
plOyee or customer.
Under the head, civic improvements.
we add the temperance. child labor ana
observance OF the Sabbath.
The Temperance question should not
need much explanation for in the past
month 10 has explained itself.
10 does not seem possible that men
made i'm the image Of God should op-
pose doing away with a thing that grips
them like drink, and would put the dol
lar ahead Of the life Of their own sons.
The curse and what drink does to
man was never more fully demonstrated
than in Wilmington when sickness and
death all around, the health officers
closed the saloon in an effort to help
wine out the disaster. Men became law
breakers TO satisfy the desire for drink
When anything grips a man so hard,
that even death OF nearly a thousand
persons, besides the suffering OF thou
sands more, through sickness. places
him so that his little self must be salts

New London, June 2-That the re- publican party of New London IS strongly convinced, that the depart ure of so many men from the city to enter the military service has not
 wiped out the normal majority, IS shown in the many candidates for the mayoralty, it being satisfied that the nomination and election are as one Five mayor candidates have al ready been entered into the field and the entry list has not yet closed. The entries thus far are, and their order as favorites as follows: Mayor Ernest B. Rogers, Frederic w. Mercer, F. Leroy Harwood, Harry c. Chappen and E. Frank Morgan, although when the caucus roll is called the last may be first, as it usually the unexpected in politics. MT. Mercer is the latest entry. He has never held public office but at times he has played a decidedly hard hand in the game, and, as rule the candidates with the Mer- cer backing were the winners. Were he to work as hard for himself as he has for others there would be no doubt as to who will be the winner in eau GUS. He knows how to do effective political work without brass band ac- compartment MT. Mercer is a native of the city, is now among the leading manufacturers and would give the city a business administration. He surely would get a democratic vote or two and would receive the support of his party, all of it, except, perhaps the disgruntled few However, Mayor Rogers feels confident of renonina ton and election; so what's the use. The democrats realizing the hopeless ness of their cause are not calling candidates to the front and centre, to select some one among them who might have the courage to emulate the example of Steve Brodie, and take a chance. From this distance the only man who has shied his castor into the democratic political ring is Alder man John J. Murray, who is in strong favor with the ringmaster It is an open question whether that favor | would be to his political advantage. 1 Perhaps Mir. Murray would fare bet ter if he cut loose from the political manipulator who aspires to be the | whole cheese, and is as unsavory to some true democrats as is the Linn burger brand. Mir. Murray has served many terms in the court of common council and is familiar with municipal matters. It would be well, perhap ps. for MT. Murray to build his political fence as high as he can. for it is said a sly politican is after the dem
 ocratic bait and may take the demo- cratic nomination, hook, line and
 sinker His name is Fox, William C.,
 member of the school board and who represented in part New London in the
 legislature of 1917.

victions, even for party sake, or to satisfy party leaders. That's a reason why the ringmaster is not snapping his whip to get his crew to secure the nomination for Fox. He has, however, political backing of un- known strength, that may cause leaders, so called, to sit up and take notice. As a member of the legisla ture Fox got into the good graces of the labor element in that body as well as with the labor committee, repre- senting the state federation of labor. While he is not the type of working man that wears the jumper and over alls, it is understood that organized labor in New London would forego placing one of their own number in the mRyoralty field. butt NouId be satisfied to leave their interests with Fox.
 It has been stated by one high in local labor affairs that if the demo- crats nominate Will Fox for mayor he will receive the endorsement of or ganized labor. In fact this very mat ter was subject of discussion at a recent meeting of the official repre- sentatfves of labor unions. It used to be a question years ago whether the open endorsement of a candidate by labor was a benefit or a letriment. Ther are consistent union men who object to political dictation, and vote their party ticket endorsement or no endorsement. It is unquestioned fact, also that all voters are not favorable to organized labor. These are little pointers that are sometimes considered by the wiser politicians.
 Queer that the democratic slate
 makers are confining all their mayor alty efforts in favor of Alderman John F. Murray, even if he is conceded to 1 be the strong man of the party
 There is another Murray, Thomas F. a cousin of John F., who is expert ir l the political game which he has played for years. He has been as sessor for several terms, and when party and has the distinction of being | the only democrat elected in a recen
 election. He is believed to be tht
 strongest vote getting democrat in tho city, mainly through his persistent DO litical work when a candidate fol
 election. It may not be generally
 known that Tom Murray had th' mayoralty bee in his bonnet ono,
 upon time, and thought he had tht nomination cinched. All that wa!
 needed was the endorsement of or 1 ganized labor and he assured tn, party managers that he could get tha
 endorsement. He went after it. but il 1 that he failed. He was denied tn,
 nomination. He probably would no 1 enter the coming contest as he would 1 probably prefer to remain as accesso than become mayor. After all thi mayoralty talk is finished and whel
 caucus time comes. it would not be real great big surprise if the repub lican nomination was handed to Alder
 man William F. Curtis. He is com paratively a new conner to New Lon don. So is President Peck of the Nev
 London Chamber of Commerce.
