roNIGHr's CAUCUS.

Norwich republicans cannot fail to be aware of the importance of making the attendance at the caucus tonight in town hall as large and representative as the business of selecting candidate for state senator from this district calls for The caucus will not name the candidate but 1t will select delegates who are pledged to a candidate Thus, as must be appreciated. it rests with the repub- licans to give expression through tie delegates named, as 10 whom they de- sire to represent them in the upper house of the general assembly for the next :wo years.
 It is time when full consideration needs to be given to the selection of the right man. and also to the naming of the one who can with reasonable cer- tainty be elected. What is wanted is a candidate who will strengthen the tick ct rather than weaken it, one who will De able to muster the full party vote and at the same time get the approval of many outside the party.
 It is at the caucus that there should be determined the wish of the party members The candidate should be one who will be representative of the party and district and thought of that should oome while the matter is in the hands of the party members. The caucus thus In the naming of senatorial delegates has reason to give it's attention to the avoidance rather than the making of mistakes. And what is true of Norwich h this respect is equally true of the towns of Preston and Ledyard which ~ith Norwich make up the nineteenth senatorial district.
 Because of the results which arg &l- T"ys possible following such contest 1t would apparently be the best move in behalf of harmony should both of the candidates withdraw in favor of third, as was attempted. but that having fail sd 1t remains to be seen whether the re- puolicans are going to stand by the par Y organization and probable s1ceess, or undertake 10 Tighten the task of the other party

IN THE DAYS NEWS
Poland

Poland, whose history is tragedy, and whose people have nbee called Children of the Sun," plays no new role when she seeks to stop the onsaugl1ts of the Bol- sheviki. for it was she who once stayed the march of the Turk across Europe
 This fact is recalled in a communica- tion to the National Geographic Socit- ty which sums up Polands sad ana eventful history as follows:
 "In size she outranked nearly every nation of the continent, Russia alone of the European nations larger than Po- land was at her greatest. In popuiation she stood at the forefront of Europe i; onIy Russia and German had greater populations before the war than are to be found in the lands that once were Poland; for unpartitioned Poland had an area of 2S2,Oo0 square miles, and the lands that once lay within her boundaries support a population or ap- proximately 50 million. In area she was as large as the former German Empire Switzerland, Belgium, Holland and Den mark together; larger than Great BTU ain, Italy. and Greece combined; larger than Austria-Hungary and SerVla II one Within what were her boundaries | there dwells present population larg' | CT than the combined populatSns O 1 Great Britain and Belgium; larger thal l those of France, Belgium. and Holland together; and matching that of the ol' l ria-Hungary.

In the long period of his service as deputy sheriff he could always be depended upon to answer every call of duty. either day or night, until fail ing health incapacitated him for active labor Being a veteran of the Civil war he was an active member of the James Klborn, G. A. R. post of Central Village and was always very active in the duties of Memorial day. Last Memorial day fearing that the day was not going to be properly observed, although in feeble health and hardly able to be about at all he showed his devotion to his coun- tryis defenders by filling the post that he had for many years held as leader and commander of the Memorial day ex- eTcises and going the rounds of the diff ferent cemeteries of the town It was pitifgl to see his feebleness and the ef- fort t cost him to perform the loving tribute to his dead comrades. It was plainly evident that he was exhibiting as much patriotism and love of country as he did when he offered his services to his country in her time of need. All who saw his feebleness felt sure that never again would we have him to inspire us in our duties on Memorial day, and it was to be the last time we would hear his familiar voice nj the command of '.Atteution".

He outlined a plan OF the churches

Local Option is Plan
AS sifted down before the w. c. T.

here for 10 or even 20 years will be
one solely on basis of local option.
Scotland has felt the impress OF the in
vader, and is considered as seriously
'menac@d" by prohibition. Wales.
where many American speakers have
been paving the way for local option,
is considered in danger" and even
'pussyfoot" influence. Only Ireland
is safe.
1t is to be expected that a country
that regards public houses important
enough to run cars and 'busses to and
from them, is not going to part with
such institutions without a struggle
One doesn't get off a tram car at a
certain street, he gets off at the
Thatched House or The Green Man or
The Old Blue, or The Spotted Dog
In Axlesbury, a market town near
Oxford, there are SO public houses in
the town square, sometimes two or
three next to each other. Even de-
termined resistants to "pussyfoot"
acknowledge that three pubs" in a
row is unnecessary.
AS regulations now stand, under the

houses are open from II to 2:30

ed himself to the Americans.
He declared that drunkenness was

American Women at Meeting
The American women who were
here to attend the w. c. T. u con-
vention could not understand the at
titude taken toward the meeting by
the London newspapers. In the
States, for a great many years, a gath
ering of women, especially a world
meeting. has received attention and
courteous consideration from the
newspapers. But the London press
only mentioned the convention to
sheer at it and give advice to the
American speakers. A hopeful young
London reporter gave sensational
description of the chilling reception
accorded German and Bulgarian dele
gates-but there were no Germans
and Bulgarians there.
Even the Bishop of London de-
nounced the campaign of misrepre-
sentation" which the English news
papers have been conducting concern
ing prohibition in America.
Pauper statistics from such states
as Maine and Mississippi are quoted
to show the harm prohibition has
done; and the newspapers are always
carrying pictures showing how the
Yanks are evading pussyfoot
Although Canada is following in the
footsteps of dry America, the press is
silent about the horrors in that part
of the empire, preferring to center its
attack on what it considers the origin
ator of the monster-the United
States
