THAT JERSEY RECOUNT.

In every close contest it seems to be Huite the thing to let the impression get nbroad that there has been some chi sanery and that the one who lost has been counted out. The fact is that there lsr no more reason to be surprised at close result than there is at a landslide ul things being equal. and in the case pf Senator Johnson and General Wood In New Jersey 1t was agreed in advance that the fight was bound to be close. That thers is a chance of mistakes in connection with the counting of ballots cannot be questioned and if there is an tnclination for crooked work a close con- tsst offers a most favorable opportunity, but the mere fact that candidates get within 1900 votes of each other in a state primary does not for that reason Justify the claim of intentional wrong doing.
 Not in so many words was it claimed by the Johnson men in the appeal for a recount but the fact that it was inti- mated that the trouble. if there was any vas likely to be found in five counties indicated that the feeling was that way. That the supreme court justice tc whom the petition was presented should Insist upon a s5o.0Oe deposit to insure me expense of the recount in case the insult was not changed simply means the protection of the state against need lcss expense- The attitude of the wooe saders to share half of that expenst salled for the Johnson leaders to rais, their share if they were satisfied the, had been wrongly deprived of votes.
 The sober second thought of the peti noners which resulted in their determi nation not to pursue their efforts for recount and their announcement that tn Wood men had conducted a clean cam balgn means the end of this New Jerse Euestion regarding lrregularity. It wa case where the Wood men were as will lng to do all that could be expected 0 them to right any wrong and the fac that there ls an Abandonment of the pc tftion indicates that guesswork and four dntionless impressions were probably tn nhief reasons fer seeking the recount.

Daylight Saving.

Mfr Editor: see that the main point against this daylight saving ordinance Is suppressed. Its unlawful character and the attempt of respectable leaders to ig- more and evade this fact, and to eneour- age others to ignore and evade it.
 There need to be only two sources of law in Connecticut The federal congress and the state legislature. Each one of these bodies after due and proper hear ing and deliberation refused to impose this burden on the people. When did corporations, {raiircads, cities, borougfs, and manufacturing heads) gain right to make the iaws for Connecticut?
 What legal standing has daylight say ing in Connecticut?
