cut will sustain her reputation for far | sightedness and true New England fere- handedness by providing for the safety of her interests through the election of i Senator Brandegee and republican mem bers of congress, It, is unthinkable so 1 men here say, that Connecticut will fail to appreciate the high standing and powerful influence of her present con- gressional delegation and permit the de- feat of even enc of their number. With republican president their influence would be greatly increased, and they nwo have hold on congress and those who administer public affairs, that no new man could obtain, whatever his po- litical afiliation.
 Take Senator Brandegee. for instance, his committee positions alone are sof in- estimable valae to New England and to his own state. Moreover he is man who knows parliamentary rules and pro- eeduRe to such an extent that there is no putting anything over that will be detrimental to New England's interests, at the same time he is just and even generous to the interests of other parts g ftdae United States. Congress regards MT. Brandegee as one of the great states men of the age, and whether or not the measure he is advocating wins out, at least, none have ever been lost by de- fault. for MT. BFandegee invariably takes stseng and open stand for what he believes is the best interest of the state he represents and of the nation at llarge. Connectieut's interests are safer 1 in his hands, than they could be in the hands of any other man.
 The Harding campaign just elssing has won for the republican candidate, much warm praise from men hereabout who are tired of the mud-slingiag and loose talk made by the democratic candidate. While MT. Cox was running round the country shouting hitter denuHciation at everyone who opposed his candidacy, MT. Harding has spoken daily to large crowds, and, in an orderly and decent
 manner has made plain his views and policies on the great questions of the day. Harding knows many skeletons are l lurking in the democratic closet, but he made it clear that he did not propose to be the man to rattle their bones or bring them te light. Harding will win on a clean eaNpa ign--or he won't win st all That's the sort of man Harding is. He I relieves in the republican Iarty and in T the Ameriean people. He believes that l the party Will win and that with the in coming of a republican administration Il ttae nation will be quickly restored to a Il rerrnal peace tia,e basis the cost of liv. ing reduced and industrial peace re
 stored. Harding has g head stocked ful of good common sense and he knows how : to apply it to every day conditions. H, is q normal. healthy well poised clear , minded and able American citizen; ex . perienced in state, national and interna ticnal affairs He won't fly of on tangant, and that he will keep faith witi
 the United States and it's people is : foreecne conclusion in the minds of al T l.; reer.
 h sizing I'D the i've Fl estdential can
 dsdatss tue value of MT. Harding's prae
 tical knowledge of national and interns tional affairs is not overlooked ners
 These are the days when complex con ditions must be met-yoices in the ail ' visions, and pet theories will not fill tn t bill, neither will & mere familiarity Q }. local politics suffice for the man who i Fl ts be the head of the most powerful Ha n ton n the world.
 T Knswledse and experienee will esuy for much in marking out the domesti Il and foreign policies of the United State ,- for the next four years, and it must no :. be forgotten that since entering the scr [ ate in 1914 MT. Harding has devoted h 2 entire time and study to the needs { C this nation and of the world, while M P Cox has confined his attention to his ON Il state of Ohio.
 n During the past six years, while N
 Cox has devoted himself to his own ele. d tions and the petty details of ward an Id local politics, MT. Harding has been si i.I ting in the United States senate as or Of its most valued and trusted member

 will guide him wisely in making exec

 It has fallen to the lot of MT. Haxdii
 to serve on committees which have giv,
 him a firm grasp on matters of recc an go far to admirably equip him for |
 great office of president With Hardil
 in the White house, surrounded by to able cabinet of men selected for tht te fitness and with Coolidge as vice pre-
 dent and sitting in the councils, as liar
 ing declares ought to be done-it's pretty safe guess existing waste, extr vasance and mismanagement will scrap-heaped, and normal prosperity
 restored.
 .Mr. Harding has marked out a co " structive programme and made it kno' sst that first of all must come an honoral
 peace with Germany. Next the revisi
 of the tariff to be considered at the IT, tra session he proposes to call in Mar U. if he is elected. Cordial and peace
 relations with all European countries,
 return to normal financial and industF
 conditions are some of the things ] in Harding will put before congress and ou which he will urge quick action. A ,ch daction of taxation and the cost of
 ing and a better understanding betw,
 Ilabor and capital will be sought by ] .. Harding. He wants to see the great dnstries of, the country, like the tex GIT mills of New England. running at 1 tes speed instead of being silent beh
 closed gates, as the result of the pres
 policies of the government. Peace cur prosperity is slogan which defnes
 ;s republican policies as outlined by u
 platform and in which MT. Hard sds thoroughly believes Mir. Harding wa
