BANQUET DOES
 NOT PROVE BOOM FOR GOVERNOR

Middletown, Jan. 2S - Something unique in banquets Of the Mckinley Association of Connecticut was intro duced into the annual event held at Stueck's Tavern here last night, when Lieutenant-Governor Clifford B. Will son appeared at the head of a Bridge port delegation 169 strong, with a brass band, to boom his candidacy
 for governor. It did not stampede
 the affair, and the indifference which
 it met was explained by the concensus
 that the party has first to nominate
 a candidate for president, after which
 there will be ample time to look up a
 nominee for governor.
 Governor Holcomb astonished many
 of his hearers when he expressed the belief that within a year or two at most women of Connecticut will take part in the annual Republican get together event. He did not c1arify his statement in any way, but it was taken by his hearers to mean that his opinions on the matter of suffrag age had undergone a change. Whether ] this indicates he will call a special i session is not known.

Give Old Sol a Chance

Many good things have come out of the regime of army life, not the least of which is the attention being paid to the daily stunning and airing of bedding. It is one of the simplest and most direct means of preventing g the harboring of germs and the spread of conta gious diseases.
 Among the Hospital Corps of the Naval Training Station at Newport last year there were comparatively few cases of the flu" The bedding of these men was stunned and aired daily, the term bedding including the cot. It is probable that many lives were saved in this way both at home and abroad, as the death rate was lowest among the regiments adhering rigidly to this rule.
