Children Understood Nature.

A few years ago. Switzerland fol.
lowed the new idea of other countries
that nature study should be a regular
study In the school program, and that
teachers should be trained according
ly. It was soon discovered that the
pupils knew more than the trained
teachers, for the teachers informs ton
was too often based on books alone,
while the children knew nature from
actual contact with her in all her
moods.

LONG OVATION FOR
 LONERGAN AT FOX'S
Audience Stands and Cheers When Congressman Speaks Here

More than 1900 people stood and wildly chccred Congressman Angus tlne LOnerGan when he stepped out on the stage of t'oX's theater yestcr- day afternoon to give an account to the voters Of his work in Washing ton and to ask for reelection at the polls tomorrow. They not only stood and chocred. but they continued to cheer for two minutes, afOrding tho greatest demonstration a man in public office has been given in this city in years. At the conclusion of Congressman LonerGan's speech the audience again rose and accorded him three long, hearty salvos of applause.
 The rally boomed democracy's stock in this city and instead of wondering whether Mayor George A. Quigley, republican aspirant for con gressman, would carry the city by 500 or 1 900 votes those present be- gan to wonder whether he will have a majority at all here when the votes are counted tomorrow after noon.
 Democratic campaigners offered the public an all-star bill. which in cluded L.. &. District Attorney Thom- as J. Spelacy, candidate for gover- nor; Senator koppleman of Hart ford. Senator Hemenway Of Hart ford and Mrs. Nancy M. Schoonmak- CT of Kentucky, who advocated Wo- man suffrage in a manner that charmed all the men in the audi once. From the beginning to the end of the program there was a marked enthusiasm and every time the name of President Wilson was mentioned a demonstration followed It was noted that MT. Spellacy, al though an active candidate for the chair now occupied by Governor Hol- comb, refrained from advocating his own candidacy but asked simply for support for President Wilson.
 Attorney F. F. McDOnough of this city was chairman of the meeting, being introduced by President Seegal Of the Woodrow Wilson Democratic club.
 MT. Spellacy devoted half an hour to urging his auditors to vote to send MT. Lonergan back to congress. He reviewed the war record of President Wilson and his administration and dwelt at length on the republican as that the President was guilty of a terrible crime when he publicly asked the voters of the cOun- try to give him a, democratic major ity in congress at the next session. MT. Spellacy said President Wilson
New Britain herald., 1918-11-04

frankly placed his case before the voters in an effort to impress on them the necessity of having a friendly, instead of a hostile majority in con- gress in order that Amcrica's great task, the winning of a just peace, might be consummatcd. He paid his respects to Theodore Roosevelt when he explained that President Wilson's $ fourteen peace principles were ac- cepted and endorsed by every nation with which we are associated in the war, but they weren't good enough for Roosevelt. He earnestly eXhorted the people of New Britain to back up the President by rc-electing MT. Lon ergan.
 Senator Koppelman devoted tho greater part of his talk to attacking the record of Senator K1ett as publican majority leader in the sen- ate He referred to Senator Klett's action on a bill which would provide funds for widows and orphans and which, he said, had been blocked by the senator from this city.
 Ovation For Lonergan.
 Congressman Lonergan followed, wild enthusiasm being shown when he walked to the front of the stage. He paid some attention to Mayor Quigley and his claims for election. One of Mayor Quigley's cries is that he will not be satisfied until he sees the American flag waving triumph antly over the ruins of Berlin. This is not the program of the United States, nor is it the program of any country opposed to the Central Pow CTS, MT. LOnergan said. To pursue such a course would proiong the war for years and would cost millions of American lives he said. Congress- man Lonergan aroused his audience to laughter when he said: As member of the house of representa- tives, MT. QUigley would have as much to do with making peace as the New Britain fire department. Approv- al of peace is prerOgative of the United States senate and the house has nothing to do with it.
 Congressman LOnergan reviewed his efforts while in Congress. Among the bills of which he is the author are: Strict inspection of all foods for the army and navy to prevent recurrence of wholesale poisoning that occurred under a republican ad- ncrnfisCr9t:On during the Spanish-Am- erican war; securing a cent mile railroad rate for soldiers while on furlough; instruction of every man

Tho Rival of Butter

In these days of increasing cost of living when such a staple food as but ter has climbed the price-ladder to around 6OC pound, it is pleasant to find that the regular dairy product is not the only thing we can spread on our bread and biscuits. Benefit Brand Sweet Nut" Margarine is the logical follower of butter and has already taken the place of it in thousands of our best families. This new table luxury costs only 32c a pound at the Direct Importing Co.'S yellow front stores, 277 Main St., 365 Arch St, New Britain. where Benefit Brand Teas, Coffees and Grocery Specialties are re- tailed at wholesale prices. The price seems to be about the only thing that's different from good butter. Try it the next time you need butter and let the family decide.

suspension of the rules. which was necessary for consideration of the loyalty resolution. The resolution was defeated by a vote of r to s. It was referred to the committee on federal affairs where it quietly died. Later, after the majority of states had passed resolutions of this char acter, Senator KIett introduced A res oIution similar to that offered by senator Hemenway and it was passed.
 "Where is the comparison between George M. Landcrs and George w. Klett?" he asked. "President Wilson wants men elected who are in sympa- thy with his policies"

He is now serving his third term as mayor of the city Of New Britain, each time being elected by the largest majorities ever given a candidatN for tho office of chief executive of that city.
 Having been working man him self in the ordinary sense of the term, h. fully understands the needs and aspira tiors of te hworking peo- pie, anG who. therefore, is better qualified to represent the common people in Congress when matters of Legislation of vital interests to the toilerS come before the national body.

in tho public movements with which he has been identified.
 He is now serving his third term as mayor of the city of New Britain, having been elected by the largest majOrities ever given a candidate for the office. His three administrations have been free from petty politics, his chief interest having been the bet torment of his city and district.
 Ii is with pleasure we speak of his attitude towards all those who are identified with conservative and hon. Orable efforts for the betterment of conditions in the labor world.
 In his field of action all have watched his answering and straight forward attitude. He has always been actuated by two considerations-his duty to his constituents and his con- science.
 We join the ever increasing num- Der who wish him long and continued opportunities for the services which he has so ably rendered in the past.
