"Sinn Fein grew to WELD enormous

we saw the fruits of our labors in the
growth of spiritual power among
those who came into the ranks OF
Sim Fein. Unquestionably the or

Ireland. The people had been wait.

Sim Fein promoted that policy.
Everywhere we preached the
recreation of Ireland built upon
Gael. We penetrated into Belfast and
northeast Ulster, where encouraging
educational work was making the
national revival living reality. And
then the world war broke.
"I don't indulge in prophecies, but

In pronouncing the death sentence,
Judge Urner said the jury had re-

to send this exhibit through Wiscon-
sin and California, and all other ar
dent direct primary States for pur-
poses Of instruction and conversion.
Which side would get converted
would remain to be seen; but the i'm
portant fact Is that Mr.. Weeks and
Mr.. Harding and all the other enc
mics of the direct primary system
do not need to appeal to history or
to theory in their advocacy Of the
convention system. All they need to
do, II they have the courage for IT.,
is to point to Connecticut and say:
Look"
Having looked, l report that the
caucus and convention system OF
Connecticut is at any rate a large
and active mental and physical
exercise. First, there are the eau
cuses. The Republican caucuses
were held last night. In the coun-
try districts they were held town
by town. In the cities they were
held ward by ward.
All the registered Republican
voters in each town, or in each
ward, as the case might be. were
notified to assemble themselves to-
gether into a meeting. In most
cases Il was an evening meeting.
The merit Gained for these meet.
ings is precisely that they are
meetings where the neighbors may
personally exchange their views and
not simply polling places where
people may go into curtained
booth and make a mark on a piece
Of paper. This is the merit which
is claimed for them.
In a direct primary you simply
vote. In a caucus you may also
converse and confer. 1t is claimed
that thus the citizen may gain a
useful personal acquaintance with
his political leaders and may learn
to know them not as names on
paper but as people in life. Such
il the, argument.
And I hear 1t made with equal
enthusiasm by Mr.. j. Henry
Roraback, who is the chief Repub.
lican politician Of the State. and
by Mr.. Thomas J. Spellacy,. who is
the chief Democratic politician OF
this capital city Of the State and
who leans toward progressivism
The two men differ widely on many
other things. They agree on the
caucuses and conventions against
the direct primaries. They hold
that the caucuses are grand per
sonal political education for the
rank and file citizen and then they
hold that the conventions are a
still grander education personally
and politically for the citizens
chosen to be leaders. i am pre-
pared to admit that whether or not
this education is grand 1t Is GER
tainly long.
The Republican conventions Of one
sort and another in Connecticut Will
now last till we'll on toward the end
of September. Out Of the town
caucuses and out Of the ward cauc
uses canes delegates In numerous
groups to go to numerous different
conventions which will be held at
numerous different and separated
times. There will be conventions tc
nominate congressman in five dis
tricts. There will be conventions to
nominate sheriffs in eight districts
There will be conventions to nomi'
nate State senator's in thirty-five
districts. There will be conventions
to nominate probate judges in IA
districts. There will be State

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 80.
One of three bandits who held

Of jewelry worth $4,000 chewed
the flesh from his little finger
when a diamond ring failed to
slide off quickly.
Exhibiting a bandaged left

last night.
Schinder testified Crosset
drove him in a taxicab early
Sunday to a point near his
home and that after he had
left the taxicab three men
drew revolvers and told him to
be quiet. One of the, robbers,
Schinder said, chewed the flesh
from his little finger in his

Crosset and the other two in

dence and send them forth to find
out what the issues are and settle
them. At any rate, the general pub
lie discussion in Connecticut of SEN
attor Mclean, for instance, is virtu-
ally zero in comparison with the
public discussion which attends the
attempted denomination and re-elec-
ton of a United States Senator In
any direct primary State.
In reply It is urged that discus.
sions in conventions teach you more
in an hour than you can learn In
a year from discussions carried on
in newspapers and in lecture halls
where you do not become person
ally acquainted with the candi
dates. And right there is the sum
of the whole matter. The caucus
and convention system Is a per
sonal acquaintance system. 1t has
that merit.
The direct primary system is q
popular discussion system. a sys
tenn which makes the candidate talk
his issues to the whole people. II
has that merit.
Choosing between these two mer
its, Connecticut still sticks firmly
to the former and seems likely al
this moment to live and die with
it's leading citizens still deciding its
fate by putting their heads close
together in lobbies.

it was the last statement he ever
made for publication-after l had
asked him to tell ME the story Of
how he won his countrymen to the
Sim Fein policy. AS every news

task knows, Griffith was by far
the most difficult of all the Irish
leaders to persuade to grant an
interview.

officers and also a United States
senator. 1t Is calculated that the
total number of delegates proceeding
out of town caucuses and ward cauc-
uses to conventions in Connecticut
this year will total up to somewhere
near 1000.
It is argued that those 1000 men
get a personal, practical political ac'
ouaintance an deducation which Is
highly valuable to the State. 1t is
argued that they personally meet
the men whom they are going TO
nominate and that thus they form a
better judgment of them than can
ever be formed by the voter In
solitary curtained voting cell.
It Is argued that the delegate who
comes from a little remote country
town to attend the State convention
carries back with him a really genu'
inc personal knowledge Of State poll
tics to his neighbors.
I observe on the other hand that
during these present caucuses in Con-
