LEADERS IN REVOLT
 DENY COMMUNISM
Are Determined to Do Away With
 MilitariSm

Dusseldorf. March 23 (By Tie Associated Press. .l-Lcaders of the clements which have taken over con- trol of this city insist the mo rem ent should not be termed compluniSttc as soviets throughout Germany are considered impossible and dangerous. IL is desired above all to do away with militarsm. they add. and show the Allies tha, Germany is deter mined 10 take such q stand.
 There are a few armed guards. but no real army, to be soon. It is planned to have an old army com mander.

TRY NEW BRITAIN FIRST.

Granted, for the sake Of arSum ent, that there are many articles that cannot be purchased in New Britain; granted that other cities are attrac- tive, larger and have greater as sortm 2nt of things in their shops than has this city; granted there are req sons in many cases for patronizing shops in those other citics-grante cd these things and still it is submitted many people do not know the re- sources of New Britain. For this state of affairs the shoppers alone are of New Britain stores, unable to find the article inquired for. are inclined to fall back on the remark which seems to relieve them of all responsi- bility: We haven't it: you'll have to get that out of town'
 II is to be noted that here arc a few store employees who try to avoid and do avoid this statement. They direct the shopper to a. neighboring. rival store, where the article may be purchased. Thus though boosting d competitor they remain loyal to their city and assist a would-be patron.
 It is assumed that New Britain people would prefer to trade in this city rather than take their money elsewhere if they are able to obtain the same goods at the same price. Probably few intelligent people are attracted by an article merely be- having been purchased elsewhere. It is believed that all recognize the necessity of giving local merchants every chance to prosper if for no other than the selfish reason of wish ing to benefit themselves by making their own city prosperous.
 There is no wish to tell proprietors of stores anything about their own business which they know far better than the outside critic. Such outside critic, however, sometimes possesses a point of view which never comes to the local merchant. Thus it is mod estly suggested that owners of stores pass the word among their salespeo- pie that it is best not to send a shop per out of town unless such salesper- son has good reason to know the ar ticle inquired for cannot be bought here. It is suggested that salespeople heed the advice. and it is further suggested 10 the shopper that the re- mark of the salesperson who does not heed be not ta ken as final.
 Actual experience demonstrates that splendid results follow the old cry: Try New Britain first and try it thoroughly"

in many particulars justified. Per- haps the speaker was to be par doned, on an occasion of this kind in dwelling upon it at such lengths. Incidentally Senator Brandegee's S suggestion that, as the President had not been forced in regard to the drawing of the treaty. the Senate could not be expected to alter it's position on a matter ii had consid cred seriously for so long, was apt ly put.
 Perhaps the most characteristic expressions of the Senator's speech arc to he found in his explanation of his votes opposing woman suf- frage and prohibition. Here are dis played qualities of a. judicial mind pass upon the merits of a case of which the court believes it has no jurisdiction. or which a question of
 procedure, according to it's under
 standing, takes out of it's hands.
 Senator Brandegee believes that the
 several states nave the IlSnI 10 uc-
 eide upon laws regulating the lives of
 their citizens. The two amendments
 he asserts, come within that princi-
 pie and should not be interfcred with by the nation.
 His suggested amendment to the
 Constitution, requiring ratification of proposed amendments by three-quar- ters Of the electorate of the states,
 instead of by their Legislatures, will find popular favor among the ma sses, tending. as il does. in the direction of the ever-popular cry, Let the
 people rule"
 The speech was characteristic of Senator Brandegee. with the words "heritaSe,' ''funda mental' and teachings of our fathers appropri- ately placed in an atmosphere of tradition.

THE BR.ANDEGEF, SPEECH.

There was an atmosphere decided
 ly reminiscent about the "key-note"
 speech of Senator Brandegee at the
 Republican State Convention at New
 Haven last night. replete as it was
 with sound reasoning, pointed periods and pertinent eloquence. His vener
 ation for the old things. admirable
 in many respects, was the theme which dominated a discourse which
 needed no reference to States
 Rights to make it's trend palpable.
 Probably the most vital note
 struck by the Senator was his dec
 laration, in explaining his opposition
 to treaty ratification. that he was utterly unable to vote to bind the
 nation to a contract giving the Brit
 ish Empire six times the voting
 power of the United States.
 The mine of political capital ind-
 cated by Senator Brandegee's retcr-
 ence has not begun to be exploited
 as it will before the Presidential
 campaign is over. The possibilities
 for appeal to the Americanism in
 every voter have scarce been indi-
 cated The cloak of patriotism will
 cover many differences of opinion, and will bring together many who would never meet under other cir cum stances. It is believed sincere loyalty inspired the reservations to
 the treaty and loyalty to country lay deep in the hearts of many of the ''irreconcila blcs." Senator Brandc-
 see indicates this sentiment inspired his stand; it may well be believed. Little criticism of many of his at tacks on President Wilson will be workings of the typically partisan mind. and in them especially is seen
 the marking back to habits of the r past. Perhaps some of them were not illuminating in that they were repctitions and reiterationS of much which is admitted rcgrctfully by the admirers of the. convalescink Chief Executive. The comment I'm portant. if true," is not inappropri- ate in regard to the speakers asser- tion that No President of the 1 United States has ever been so shielded from just criticism by events as has President Wilson," The President has been sick unto death. It is to he regretted that political precedent seems to demand the great emphasis laid by Senator Brandegee on mistakes. serious mistakes. which are admitted on all sides. His ar the administration was complete and,
