Politics of course is entering into
the prohibition fight. The wet Demo-
Gratis of Illinois already have launched
the presidential boom of Governor Ed
wards of New Jersey and have filed
the necessary petition that puts his
name on the April direct primary
ballot The real leaders of the party

that the delegates to San Francisco
probably will not be instructed.

improperly drawn. that in q states
the legislatures have not ratified it as
provided for by their state constitu-
lions and that there is no power in
congress to propose constitutional
amendment regulating the habits and
morals of the people.

vALOROUS UNITS TO HAVE PLACE
 IN NEW 26TH

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 27-The 102d Infantry. the 101st Machine Gun Bat talion, 103rd Field Artillery and 101st Ambulance Section, units of the 26th Division in which Connecticut troops served with such conspicuous valor, will have their place in the new 26th Division which is to be formed from the New England National Guard troops now being raised. This was the announcement today by Ad- jutant General Cole in telling of the War Departme ent's announced plan of National Guard organization.
 The formation of these National Guard units in Connecticut, as well as Is companies of coast artillery and a squadron of cavalry call for a National Guard of $500 men. Under the provisions of the national defense act of 1916, the State now is author ized to raise one battalion of infan- try, two troops of cavalry, battery of field artillery, and an ambulance com pany, an enlisted strength totalling 1,400. The State is to increase the strength of this guard by TOO men each year until the maximum of $500 is reached.
 Of the four companies of infantry now authorized, two are being raised in Hartford and two in New Haven The number of infantry companies will be increased year by year and out of this development will come the new 102nd infantry.
 It is probable that a separate bat talion of infantry will also be author ized some time in the near future, this command to be changed into the new 101st machine gun battalion as soon as the details for machine gun battal- ions in the new army organization are definitely settled A cavalry troop in Hartford has nearly reached it's full enlisted strength and one in New Ha- ven has been almost as successful Progress has been made in the form ing of coast artillery companies in New London, Norwich and Norwalk.
 Branford has raised a gratifying number of men for a field artillery battery and Bridgeport is soon to complete organization of an ambu- lance company. When the full strength of $500 mon is reported Connecticut will have as national guard troops: One regiment of in fantry, one suua dron of cavalry one battalion of field artillery, sixteen companies of coast artillery, four ma- chine gun companies, four ambulance companies and possibly some head quarters troops.
