VOICE OF MINORITY iN FRANCE IS
 NOW ASSURED

Paris, June 4. Correspondence of the Associated Press s.)-Represent 1 tion of minorities is assured under the I new Electoral Reform Law passed by the French Parliame ent, which will probably bring about considerable change in the strength of parties in the Chamber of Deputies. The most | recent enactment almost abolished entirely the old system of choosing
 members, which provided for second ballot in case candidates did not poll an absolute majority of the votes in their constituency.
 An example of what ocurred under the old system during the election of 1885 in the department of the Var where the present Premier Clemenceau was one of the candidates will serve to show how the returns will be af- fected by the present scheme. The Var department returns four mem bers to the Chamber of Deputies. The Conservatives, the Opportunists, the Radicals and the Socialists each put up four candidates. At the first ballot no candidate boiled an absolute maj ority of the 53,79S votes cast, to do which a cote of 26,S9O votes would
 have been necessary. The Conserva-
 tive candidates obtained an average of 17,333 votes each; the Opportun-
 ists, 10,954; the Radicals, 24,323 and
 the Socialists, POT. At the second bal
 lot the Radical list was elected in its
 entirety with a majority for each can
 didate, the parties which boiled the
 smallest totals having dropped out. Under the new scheme the election
 would have resulted differently. As
 no candidate received an absolute
 majority of votes, 26,900, the following
 procedure would have been adopted:
 The total number of voters who
 boiled, 53,7S99 would have been div
 ided by four-the number of seats to
 be filled. This would have given the
 quotient of 13,449. To allot the seats
 under the new law, the average vote
 of each party is divided by the quo-
 tient of the number of voters (53,79S)
 divided by. the number of candidates
 (four) which equals 13,449. For each time this quotient (13,449) is con- tained in the average vote seat is alIocated. Thus the Conservatives with an average of 17,333 get one seat and the Radicals with an aver age of 24,323 also get one. The re- maining two seats, according to the text of the new enactment go 90 to the candidates of the party which boiled the greatest average and thus the Radicals obtain them.
 As to the candidates obtaining the seats those who boiled the highest number of votes on the lists of the successful parties are chosen as rep 1 
 It will be seen from this example | that the Radicals of Var would have obtained only three seats under the | new law instead of getting the whole | four. l

CLOTHES.

People is born without clothes to but as soon as they get old enuff to realize it they stop appearing in pub lick without eny. The ony people that don't mind looking free and equal is babies, and they even have their pick lures taken free anal equal. A fashionable way of judging pee pie is by their clothes. Thus if you see a man with holes in his shoes and a dent in his hat and no collar and a derty shert, you genrelly don't invite him in. Shoes are the clothes wich keep the
 bottom of your feet frum being tick eled. They come in pairs and boxes, and wen a pair is once took out of a box the box is ony usefill for other proposes. If you put your left shoe on your rite foot, and vica virtue, you will look funny, but you wont look eny funnier than wat you feel. Even if your shoes are not bewtifill, they feet.
 Rubbers are wat you are reminded to put on over your shoes wen it rains. RubberS are the same relation to gum boots as wat a cat is to a tiger, being the same family ony domestic. Wen one rubber gets stuck in the mud without being noticed, the other rub ber never goes out agen.
 No matter how good a person is dressed, if they haven't got a hat on in the street sumthing seems to be missing.

PREPARE WOMEN
 TO BE CITIZENS

"One can hardly conceive of a more important work during the period of reconstruction the world over than the vote of the women of this state and every state in America shall be an in- telligent one," said Senator John B. Dillon, of Bridgeport, in a statement indorsing the statewide citizenship fund campaign that will be conducted from June g to June Is for the pur- pose of raising s1OO. 900 by publis sub acriptions. Surely the stability of our government demands that the other half of the voting population shall clearly understand the fran chise," Senator Dillon continued. Mrs. Samuel Russell, Jr., of Middle town, chairman of the campaign conn., mittee to conduct the statewide cam paign for subscriptions, said:
 If the state legislatures meet in special session and ratify the Federal Suffrage Amendment as soon as it passes the Senate, as has been recom- mended in many quarters, including the Democratic national committee in session last week in Chicago, the 350,- 900 women of voting age in Con- nec.icut will have the franchise even before we expected. No time is to be lost, therefore. in preparing our women for their civic duties and re- responsibilities"
 Mrs. Russell announced that be- sides the state campaign committee, the county campaign committees, and the various other executive commit tees and the vast army of volunteer workers, a special committee, known as the Citizens Committee, has been organized to aid in the campaign in an advisory capacity. Its member ship to date includes:
 Fairfield county - Judge John R. Booth; Julian Curtiss, Major Emerson Newell, Miss Caroline RuntZ-Rees, Greenwich; Mrs. A. Barton Hepburn, Ridgefield; Hon. Samuel c. Shaw, Mrs. Samuel c. Shaw, Bedding; Mrs. James Stokes; Mrs. John Adams Thayer Westport; Hon. Clifford B. Wilson, Bridgeport.
