New r,onaon, Oct. zl.-Purely as matter of local pride, if for no otner req. son, every eiector in New London ought 10 cast vote on Nov. TOT senator y--.rr R Branderes. He is the first man 1 .o reorasent in part the state of Connecti- ,.l,. ln the United States senate as na- five and resident of this seaside city. He r-. dexrlored into one of the real lead l ing uublic men of the country and IS fuiiS 1s well known country wide and inter nationally as is any other man m puohc Iife Mention New London when far away | f-,-, horne and it is a 100-to-1 shot that l | bsforo tbe conversation ends 1t will be ] -.-,s~lsed bv the other fellow that New l ro-don is the home of Senator Brande- | rrs He has put the town on the big map. l Tt is not believed that there is demo- r-zt in New London who believes that if his. or her. vote was to determine the re- election of Senator Brandegee, would cast that vote against the senator Al tbe recent election in Norwich es,rle vote decided the mayoralty, and at the more recent election in New Lon- so- an alderman was elected by only four votes There are many instances where the value of the single vote IS demon- strated The importance Of that slrgle .y.ote is appreciated by every trained poli- ticisn. and that's reason why effort is --aae 10 get out every voter on election Sa7- There ought not to be a single vote -ast arafnst Senator Brandegee in New Lnndon on Nov 9. There are democrats sn New London who do not approve every --fbiic act of the senator and who within the year have remarked T have always .votrd for Prank Brandegee, but never a-ain" That feeling has faded Away and now there Is no open talk against the sen- ato- where democrats meet. and it is be- 1irved the honor the senator has earned for himself and his city will be appre- e-sa+ed ny his fellow tovnspeoplel regard lees of political lines. It has been pre- dlefed that he will carry Connecticut by a larrer ma jorffy than yauy other candi- date-on the republican ticket; but polit- Heal predictions are not always reliable tSou,ea feIloyr hagr truthfully said that the r1nerpecfad sometimes happens in politics. But onrneswhat may, the electors of New London ought Co give the senator their .rndfvidef- support His home city should .so.. its fun share-~and then some, to in- sure his election.
