Mr.. COLLINS
MAKES ANSWER
Says He Has Never Intended To
BE A Candidate For Re-Elec-
On.-Gives Reasons.

To Col. George VI. Upshur and other
Members of the Worcester Bar:
Dear SirS:
My second term as Clerk of the
Court is drawing to a close and the
public will soon he called upon TO
name my successor. With these facts
in mind. you have seen fit to present
to me your endorsement of my admin
iStration of that Office. and at the same
time you request me, for reasons
therein stated, to become a candidate
for recollection.
None know better than the Mem
bcrS Of the Bar how vitally the public
is interested in an efficient admins
tration Of the Clerks office. and none
have a better opportunity of forming
a right judgment as to the efficiency
of my administration, hence your en-
dorscment comes with peculiar force
and effect. cannot fully express to
you my deep sense of appreciation and
pleasure in thus having your approval
of my services aS a public official. and
this spontaneous act of yours will
ever be regarded as compliment OF
more than ordinary import. ! trust
at the hands Of the general public
whom have tried to serve faithfully,
promptly and courtcously.
While it has never been my intcn-
ton to become "A candidate for re-
election, yet | confess your appeal,
being of a non-partisan character and
being an almost unanimous express
sion of the County Bar. presents itself
with such unusual force that favor
able reply might naturally be- expect
ed AT this time. Believing. however,
that the members of my party should
have a voice in this mattcr-a right
which they should always exercise in
the naming Of candidates feeling
that my party has already served me
we'll, and having no inclination TO at
tempt to force my candidacy on the
people. | am Of the opinion that a
decision on this question AT this time
would be premature. trust. there
fore, you will pardon me for dcfcrring
a definite answer to Vour cOmmuni-
cation. Again assuring YOU of my
appreciation Of the compliment YOU
have extended me. am.
Sincerely your.

Y. M. C. A." was born near Bridge
water in 1921, and was the youngest
os seven sons of Amos Williams, a
farmer. At the age of 18 he attended
a Friends meeting and signed the
temperance pledge. Thenceforth he
was an earnest temperance advocate
and a vigorous opponent OF gambling
and othed habits tending to lead
young men astray.
In Bridgewater he had been appren-
ticed to a draper, and when he went
to London at the age of 20 he sought
and found employment with large
firm of diapers. OF this firm he sub
sequently became the controlling
partner.
From his first arrival in London
the young man devoted his leisure to
evangelistic and temperance work. AS
he himself afterwards told, he was
largely influenced at this period OF
his life by the preaching of an Amer
lean evangelist, Charles G. Finney
His first effort at organization was
to form a small prayer meeting
among his fellow employees. 1t was
this prayer meeting which suisse
quently developed into the Young
Mems Christian Association.
Within a few months after the Y
M. C. A. was first organized it was
found necessary to hire large as

Dublin, May 1O.-The next result
of the visit to Ireland Of three Amer
lean delegates representing Irish
societies in America apparently has
been to convince the American WISH
tors that the great majority of the
Irish people desire a republic and
nothing else. Another apparent eff
feet has been to convince doubling
sections Of the Irish people that the
establishment of an Irish republic is
practical.
The American visitors dealt with

one of the Americans, announced that
he had reason to expect that a safe
conduct" would be granted to enable
De Valera and Count Plunkett to go
to the peace conference, the Sim
Feiners were jubilant. ,-4 tt.
The Unionists passed resolutions
and set all the wires working to check
any possible relation between Premier
Lloyd George and the Irish republi-
cans.
The attitude of the government
authorities while the delegation was
in Ireland was regarded as signifi-
cant. There is stringent military
order forbidding professions and pub
lie meetings without a permit and
before the arrival of the Americans
there had been numerous prosecutions
and sentences both in Dublin and
throughout the country Furnishing
men for unauthorized meetings and
for forming tours" in procession.
Yet there was not the slightest in
reference with the huge professions
organized in Cork and Dublin for the
delegates, or any attempt to prevent
either them or the Sim Fem leaders
whose guests they were from adj
dressing mass meetings of thous-
ands who crowded into the fashion
able square in Dublin in which the
delegates had their residence. The
Lord Lieutenant and the Chief Secre-
tary were said to be dissatisfied and
helpless.
All this has make deep impression
in Ireland with the result that very
many people who few weeks ago
thought an Irish republic was either
a pretense or a dream have come to
think it possibility. They will
look eagerly for the fulfillment of
the expectations aroused. If they
are not realized, and experienced
politicians do not see how they can
be, the disappointment is likely to be
very great.
