 President Of the American scandi- @l',aa Foundation; member the American Society Of International Law; Of inc Japan Society of New York, ot the Ituly-AmerIca souety; Q the Po.and-America society; Of iae Netherian1s.America Founda- ton; Of the France America society.

 Not being a galley slave to any thing except honesty, prob!ry and | Woodrow Wilson ideaNsn. Holt will | be at an additional disadvantage. He | is far from being an oppor;uulst or { a politician. an additional drawback . when running for office in this ma terfalistic age and state.
 Irrespective Of the outcome Of the | election, Connecticut will hear from Holt just where he stants on na- ! tional and international policies. On , rainy day he will not radlate a 1 miasmic fog and on fair day will ! not emit a political smoke screen. | The electorate will not need to vote for or against him blindtolded.
 Holt will tell all no stands for and | perhaps what he thinks Bingham stands far, leaving the intelligent ! voter to take his choice. Not being d. politician he will hold back noth- ing, The campaign will last only three weeks but during that time it 1 IS likely that the sirdar Of Connectt- ! cut will heartily dislike some Of the aspects.
 There is nothing cyj, to say of Holt, lis packers or hts connections. The worst that can be said of him is tIat he has q har,1ar road 10 travel than Bingnanl It IS idle to surrender reason in contemplating the outlook, , If Holt should defeat Bingham it would be a marvellous feat, due en- ttrsly to Holts striking personality ! his prestige and his ou'spoken in- ! dependence. But this does not seem to be a propluous year for marvel ous feats by Democratic candidates.
 Holts strongest hope lies in turn ing the attention of the state upon the packers of his adversary. He may not be abe 10 damage Bing- hams chances greatly by asking the electorate to oppose Bingham be- cause the latter is Republican, but he can do much better by emphasiz- ing the perverted schomery that tn derlies the methods Of the machine that bumptiousy rules the state.
 Holt can prove he IS not ma chine man. he can prove he has opposed political chicanery and maIevolcnt machine trickcry; he ought to stir the spirit Of independ- cuce among those Republicans who dislike the methods of the machine
 Yet when all the pros and cons arc weighed. the advantage possessed 1 by RIngham's packers remain many, In the estimation of many, Holt enters the senatorial battle beaten ! al the starting mark; in the estima- l ton Of others he has a fighting chance" Few will care to for"aast his election
