New Britain herald., 1920-09-11

History is being made fast every day. So fast, in fact that the historian who wishes. to record the progress of the human race must needs wield a nimRie pen supplied from an inex- haustible fount of ink.
 Today finds the Third Ward Repub- lican club of New Britain holding forth at it's annual barbecue at Lake Compounce. Nothing startling ip that. But the feature that contributes to the history of the city and the state is that women have been invited to at tend. It is not known at this writing just how many women will foregath- CT at the Southington-Bristol resort. It was thought likely that a few will attend, but politics is something new for the fair sex and they will not be any quicker than males to grasp en- Enthusiastically at innovations, such as attending sheep roasts. In the future their attendance should be larger as they become more and more accus- toned to outings of this nature.
 Woman from now on has her say, and the men must listen. This has been oft demonstrated during the past week and it is a fact men will do we'll to swallow without too much luSSluS dUu hC hOoo oi IAAS suffrage party in New Britain has an nounced that efforts will be made to enroll every eligible woman voter in the city. To which, the Observer sighs Amen" and expresses the hope that after the women are enrolled they will disclose greater aptitude for performing their duty at the polls than have the men of the nation. If the women will only remember that the country is looking to them to ele- vate politics to a higher plane, and act accordingly. the efforts of the pros" will not have been in vain.
 Besides the women, the attractions at the Third Ward club outing are numerous. Men of national standing are present to explain the issues of the campaign, if there be any. and, anyway, who wouldn't turn out pell mell to a succulent serving of roast sheep with fried corn that be secured only at Lake Compounce!
 The Third Ward club outing is com- ing to be regarded as one of the most important pow VOWS of the year in republican circles. To it come many of the leading men of the state, not to mention the governor who usually responds to an invitation to speak. Republican gatherings in other places may have their place on the political calendar, but the yearly pilgrimage of the Third Warders to Lake Com bounce is considered the one big event of the season.
 This years gathering should be of great significance. It will, no doubt, reflect in some measure the confidence the rank and file of this city have in the ability of Senator Harding and other republicans to win. Of course such confidence must be partly dis counted, because it is a republican gathering pure and simple and en- thusiasm is easily stirred up. just as it would be necessary to discount the ebullient spirit found at a dem ocradc roundup.
 Certain it is that the G. O. P. is going to overlook no chance to per suade New Britain voters to remain on the republican side, as the presence of Nicholas Longworth alone is proof positive that the party intends to try out no small ammunition in this neck of the woods. MT. Longworth is right fully regarded as one of the oracles of the party, a member of the inner circle, and it is compliment to the prestige of the local republicans that he has been selected for the task of addressing them.
 So far, there have been few authen- ticated reports of a relaxation of in dustrial effort in this city. At some of the factories a few men have been laid off, it is said, or schedules chang ed, but on the whole the city retains its full working quotas and there should be no slump in manufacturing activity, if reports can be believed.
 It is reported that cancellation of orders has resulted in decreasing profits, but there is so much to do to catch up on old orders and to replen- ish stocks that there should be plenty of work for everyone. Business may
