strong-arm tactics is doing tine
country and the party poor service.
1t is hard to say in March what the
dominant issue will be in July. Il 10
not now clear upon what issue the
presidential campaign will be fought.
Upon every consideration IT will be
wiser to have the choice of a candi-
date made at the time of the con-
vention and not before. 1t is quite
possible that the republican party
may be guilty of overconfidence and
make the mistake Of thinking that
there is an absolute certainty Of sue
cess this year. Victory is sure, but
1t will come only if the greatest care
Is used In making constructive
popular appeal which will move a
majority of the country to support
wisely chosen candidate.

7. HENRY WILL BE DEFEATED BUT BY
 HIS OWN ORDERS
Quite a Few Candidates for Governor Will Be More
 or Less Disappointed.

The Republican state convention to be held next week at Hartford prom ises to be one of the wierdest and liveliest political gatherings seen in the state, of Connecticut in a great many years. Speaker Jim Walsh of Greenwich, has been told that he will receive the nomination but he won't probably. Motor Vehicle Commits sioner Stoeckel believes that he has reason to believe that he will receive the nomination but he won't, proba- bly,. Senator Temp1eton of Water bury, seems to have some reason to believe that he will win, but he won't, probably. Mayor Clifford B. Wilson of Bridgeport, has been told by some of those on the inside that he has a chance to win, but he won't, probably, unless Senator Frank Bran degee's friends have more success in their dealings than they have just at present. Judge Don Warner of Sal isbury, hasn't been told that he can get the nomination, but he has been asked if he'll take it, and he'll get it, if he wants it.
 The stage has been set for a most delightful political drama. Chairman J. Henry Roraback and his faithful followers of the Republican State central Committee, are good politi- clans. They know that J. Henry and Governor Ho1comb are very un- popular with the women for they know that the women blame them for the failure in Connecticut of the ratihcat1on of woman suffrage. They also know that the surest way of ! removing the political hate of the women is to allow the Repu ublican convention to defeat J. Henry. Now git must have taken quite some per I suasion to make J. Henry see that 1 in it's proper light because J. Henry doesn't like defeats of any charac- ] ter.
 But the situation a few days before 1 the convention is that the most of the 1 Roraback crowd will be behind Jim l Walsh, thus making a solid anti. 1 suffrage combination. For Jim Walsh
 is also on the black books of the women voters. We'll. the convention won't feel like nominating an anti.
 suffrage candidate for governor an6
 an anti-suffrage candidate for United l States Senator so the convention, act
 ing under instructions. will defeat the
 anti-suffrage combinations and the l Republicans can then say to the l women voters:
 1 Behold, we have done what we | could do to repudiate those who have l so long stood in the way of enamel | patton of women."
 l Then they'll. proceed to nominal tt | either Judge John L. Gilson of New
 Haven, who is very popular with ths ladies, Clifford B. Wilson of Bridge ! port, or Commissioner Stoeckel Gil | sons chances would be increased ma 1 terially if the Democrats are certain 1 to nominate Mayor David Fitzgerald O. New Haven because the Republican
 figure Gilson could defeat Fitzgerald
 in the city of New Haven
 But J. Henry will run the cam
 paign.

S1O,OO0 BLAZE
 NEARLY TRAPS STRIKE BREAKERS

New York, Sept. 1.-Two hundred sleeping strik ikebreakers in the Ridge wood depot of the B. R. T. were i'm periled early today by fire of sup posedly incendiary origin which en- tailed an estimated loss of $10,000. Two tro11eys were destroyed and
 three badly damaged. The strike breakers who were awakened soon after the fire was discovered assisted in saving many cars.
 Brooklyns streets this morning re- stunned much of their aspect before the strike. The marked reduction in
 the number of improvised vehicles
 for commuters and the increased
 number of subway, elevated and sur face trains gave indication that the strike had lost much of the force apparent at it's inception. Many sur face cars were being operated with out the heavy wire netting which had been placed on some of them for protection of crews.
 Six additional surface lines, a total of 27, were placed in operation this morning, B. R. T. officials announced. It was also reported that 200 more l strikers had returned to work. 1 Company officials said that Al sub- way and elevated trains consisting of 61S cars and 315 tro1leys were in operation at o'clock.

OFFICE COURSE FOR PUPILS OF
 HIGH SCHOOL

In order to make the Comm ercial department of the High school one of the most efficient in the state and to
 properly fit the pupils for the needs
 of office work. a new subject will be
 introduced into the department for this term for senior pupils. The sub
 ject will be a full course in office prac-
 tice. In order to teach the subject the Board of Education has purchas-
 ed some new equipment, such as a
 number of new typewriters, compto-
 meters, adding machines and a com-
 plete filing system. Miss Agnes Col
 lins and Miss Mary F'retthy will be in
 charge of the department Both
 young women have been with the
 High school for a number of years

 comm mercia1 teachers in the East. Miss Collins has just completed a summ CT course in a special commercial sub
 ject at Columbia university. The com merciaT course is now four years and
 gives the pupils besides a thorough mercial education also a number of cultural subjects.
 The above is the most notable change which will be seen this year The home nursing course for girls, for which there was such a demand last Sea1' "Ali dSdih pe a pdiI oi eie course of study.
 l On Wednesday all High school pupils who were in the main building last year will report in the same room and at the same time as last year and receive instructions as tc
 assignments for the new term. Speaking of the coming term. James c. Moore. principal at the | school said, ''I anticipate one of the l most successful years we have ever had. I think the senior class will be l larger than ever. We have really a | fine corps of teachers for which we are fortunate considering the present shortage.
