THE MOSQUITO PEST.

Efforts have long been underway for Ehe elimination of the mosquito pest which Is so annoying and in some io- calities so dangerous to humanity Cam paigns have been undertaken with good results and legislation has been secured looking to a more general and effective opposition. Such is of course unneces- sary in order to arouse to action those who have had experience with the plague, but it Us important neyerthsless In bringing about the concerted action which will turn the trick.

THE STATE TICKET.

Without friction. and with only heal thy contests the state convention of re- publicans at New Haven has presented to the voters of Connecticut ticket made up of citizens who are certain not only to command the notice but the support of the voters of the common wealth.
 It was of course a foregone conclu- sion that Senator Mclean would be re- nominated. Connecticut has repeatedly experienced the benefit of it's junior seD- ator at Washington. He has not only served the state faithfully, but the na- tion as well. and the high regard :n which he is held in the United States senate Is reflected in the important com mittee position he holds. Such has been gained through his experience in that body. a fact which gives prestige to Connecticut and an advantage which Connecticut citizens regardless of party are not going to disregard Senator Me- Leans selection was deserved
 For governor Charles A. Templeton presented his expected strength and se- curing the nomination by exclamation there was reflected the sentiment of the convention and those represented by the delegates. Lleutenant-Governor Temple ton Is 8 business man eminently fitted for the office and his choice at the polls will insure a continuance of the excel lent administration of state affairs that Connecticut wants and has been get ting. The nomination of Hiram Bing- ham for the lieutenant governorshir lIkewise adds strength to the ticket
 The renomination of Treasurer Gil patric means the chance to retain the ef6cient service which has been render ed by the Windham county official and the same Is true in the case of Attor- ney General Healy. The new candidate: for secretary of state and comptroller are men of high character and whC have been active in party affairs
 The ticket as named Is one that can, not fail to appeal to the good judgmen of the voters of the state and there i. good reason to believe, as Governo, Lake said in congratulaning the guber torial nominee on his nomination. tha. through their choice, the state will b, assured of fine administration for tn, next two years"
