CONNECTICUT co. AND ITS BUS LINES

The Connecticut company has yielded a surprise in announcing through it's local representative that. it proposes to establish a bus line between New Britain and Hartford running by way of Stanley Quarter and Elmwood, which is to be operated in addition to the Hartford trolley line.
 If some private individual had wished to operate such a bus line between the two cities the Connec- ticut company could have been ex- pected to object to the public serV- ice commission on the score the hus line would compete for through traffic with the trolley line; and the New Haven railroad proo- ahlv could have been expected to voice objections on the same score Rut with the trolley company It. self being prepared to operate the pusses there will be no objections bv either company, of course. "a The proposed bus line between inc outskirts of New Britain and Berlin is of a piece with the other few weeks ago it was ruhoreo that the Connecticut company con- templated operation of busses IT nlacc of some of the city lines and not in place of or as supplement to the inteRcity lines, It oes'h' to look as if the company is in clincd to operate cars so long al the tracks do not need replacing and then to shift to busses.

MERRITT VS. TILSON FOR SENATOR

J. Henry Rora back, who needs no introduction to Connecticut readers is said to be quite fustered about senator to succeed Brande- gee, and rumors are to the effect that he prefers Congressman Schuy- Ter Merritt of Stamford, who is on good terms with the state organi- zation.
 A dispatch from New Haven a few days ago said that Congress- man John Q. Tilson aspires to ob- tain the nomination, but other ru- mors are to the effect that he has not yet made a decision. We are inclined to believe the dispatch rather than the rumor.
 If there were no opposition by Tilson there would be little for Roraback to worry about. That Roraback is giving the senatorship careful thought is admitted by folks close to the organization; but he isn't making a play before the na- tional election is over, having enough to keep him busy until the end of the present campaign be- fore taking up the weighty senator ship matter.
 All signs point to the fact that Roraback is going 10 handpick an- other candidate for the untram- meled and frecdom-loving Repub- licans of the state. If he has set his heart upon Merit, a bet upon any other candidate is money thrown away.
 It appears that the Democrats are marking time in discussing available material. The probabilities are the convention will have full sway. There is no Roraback from whom to accept dictation.
 That there will also be a third party candidate for the senator- ship is taken for granted, a fact that is surely bothering the state orga nization controlled by Rora' i back considerably.

HOW SENATE MIGHT
 ELECT PRESIDENT
Concrete Dope on Events if Elec-
 tOrate Fails to Choose

Washington, Oct. 2S. - Should American voters. as some people predict, show such a diversity of preference at the polls Tuesday, No. vember 4, that, after the final count of ballots, no presidential candidate will be able to muster majority in the Electoral College, the House of Representatives will be called upon for the third time in history to se- feet chief executive.
 The two occasions the House has been called upon to make the presi- dential selection were in 1900, when Thomas Jefferson was chosen, and in 1924 when John Quincy Adams was elected after spirited contest. And, to carry possibility a step farther. should the house fail 10 make selection before next March 4, the vice. president, whom the sem ate would be called upon to elect in the event of a. deadlock in the Elec- toral College, would automatically become president.
 The constitution provides that the House made its selection from the candidates receiving the three high est votes in the colleges and that the Senate choose vice-president from the two having the highest number of votes in the college.
 Those who contend that the elec- ton of a president will be forced upon the House point out that the representation in that branch ot congress makes it possible for the vice presidential choice of the sen- ate to become president.
 The present congress, the sixty eighth. will be the congress to de- eide the election should it become necessary. In the balloting for president in the House, each state is entitled to one vote, this vote to be cast according to the will of the ma jority of representatives of each state.
 Should all state delegations fol- low party lines, the division in the House would be as follows:
 Five states, Maryland, Montana Nebraska. New Hampshire and
