BAILEY CANDIDATE FOR
CONFIRMATION COMMISSIONERS
Continued from Pace Onel

would De made IN the NorWicn JUDGE
ships. But this is only q slant and not
thoroughly based opinion.
Senator Brown, who Is oppoST1 to
Barnes, is 4 member Of the Judiciary
committee. and while mis- associates hold
him IN high esteem and appreciate his
true ability and fearlessress, the major
ity of them are not in sympathy with
his reform measures; not that they doubt
the sincerity of the senator. but they are
not in favor Of reform Of measures that,
in their opinion. have been in operation
and evidently to the satisfaction Of the
great majority of the people Of the state.
These reform measures. proposed by the
senator, will not be liable to give
strength to the opposition OF the appoint
ment of Judge barnes to the Norwich
police court.
Former Senator Albert Bailey, who
was defeated for nomination by a large
majority. has not been making trips -
the capitol for the sole purpose of aiding
in the reappointment Of Judge Barnes.
Mr.. Bailey is candidate for appointment
as workmen's compensation commission
err to succeed DR.. John ]. Donohue, who
has been in Office since the creation OF
the commission. Mr.. Bailey Is member
Of the republican state central committee
and some OF his wires are connected with
some very influential members of that
committee, and these wirey lead to the
appointing power. Mr.. Bailey's main
claim, so it is said, is thRtIhe is a repub-
| lican and lawyer. while DR.. Donohue
| is lacking in these two essentials. True,
| DR.. Donohue was first appointed as a
| democrat, and while he Is no lawyer his
\ decisions have stood the tests Of the
courts, and he has admin istered the law
that governs the office impartially and
| correctly. The work Of Mr. Bailey for
! the appointment is not proclaimed by any
brass band demonstration. He is too
| WHY politician and evidently believes
more can be accomplished by the gum
| Ehoe method. One of the leading polid'
clans Of the state said today: Yes
Bailey is after the appointment, and IL
getting in some fine work. II he wilma II
will be for political reasons. No one In
the state familiar with the work of Com.
missioner Donohue has aught to say
against his efficiency or competency. ana
IL Bailey wins it will be because he Il
considered republican worker Politics
simply that and nothing more, can brinI
gefeat to DR.. Donohue. You know tina
