DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
 FOR THE SENATE

It appears that the Democratic party of Connecticut is not entirely discouraged following the recent landslide, It Is going in the senator ship race as if nothing had happen ed.
 Of course, in senatorship race with no Coolidge Gibraltar on the ticket. there is much better chance to put up fight and even to court winged victory. The Democratic candidates for the nomination Will enter the fray convinced that they have a fighting chance and nobody In his senses will begrudge them this personal thrill.
 Augustine Lonergan ot Harttoro is being mentioned prominently as one of said candidates. Lonergan IS a strong contender, in the estimation of impartial observers, That lsn saving he would win, but 1t is say inq he would have chance of win ming over weak Republican cam didate or one with plenty of enc mics within his party IL Is b'lleNeo Ionerran hopes Roraback is nor1- mated, as I.onergan thinks he can beat Roraback; plenty Of others share thls opinion. He might have less of chance against Tison or against Merritt
 Representative P. B o'sullt'an of Derby, who got under the avalanche that buncd him in the fifth district, is being mentioned as q candidate. O'Sulliyan was victim Of circumstances in his dis +ric. and had no chance at all in view Of the landslide. He was elect cd 10 congress originally as the re- suit Of fairly close vote and II was too much 10 expect his re- election this Kear, He might oe second choice to Lonergan. How hf would run throughout the state is deba-able. AS the only Democratic congressman in the present congress from the state he of course was th' center of considerable publicity, a result of which his name is vel known throughout the common wealth.
 Hamilton Holt Of Woodstock i one of the ,wo most outsSandn' candidates before the harassed de mocracy of the state, the other beini Dean Henry Wade Rogers of Yale
 Holt is known as a learned am bookish gentleman, who is credited with having written the Democrati state platform. or most of 1t.

INTERNATIONAL SILVER AND COOLIDGE ORDER

The International Silver company Of Meriden announced near the fin ish Of the election campaign that it had received an order from a firm in Pennsylvania 10 which was attached the proyiso that the order was to be cancelled if Calvin Coo- lidge were defeated.
 Election "orders" like this might have appeared new to the younger voters, but the old-timers will re- member them from back in the sos IL was distinctly "oid stuff, but ve presume goodly portion Of the guilible public swallowed the bait
 However here's something that appears about the IntcrnationaI Silver company in a Meriden paper which would indicate that it reaIl! didn't need the order with the Cal vin Coolidge string attached 10 i' in order to get along after the cleo. tion.
 The company has announced that + is in the market to sell G. Oo0 shares of common stock now held In the treasury, The stocL will be sold to the highest bidders Says the newspaper report;
 This stock is to be sold to pro vide additional funds needed fP changes and improvements in tn plant and for additional working capital due to the very great in crease in business"
 Evidently this livery great in crease in business" does not dat rom the time of tue election.

WHY WE CELEBRATE ARNlISTICE DAY

Armisttce Day is being observed in a larger measure every year, In states where 1t is not a legal holiday the observance is Of such a charac- ter that 1t has all but reached the proportion of such holiday. In 2l states-AIabama, Arizona, Califor- mia, Florida, Illinois, rowa Mime sota, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Caro- lima, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia and in Hawaii, 1t is legal holiday. In other states 1t is observed as communities wish following a proclamation by the governor,
 The observance in New Britain will be elaborate considering the fact that 1t is not legal holiday; indeed, 1t may be more elaborate than is the case in some cities in states where the day is holiday. The pro- gram has been published in the Her aid, and it Is the duty of all citizens to participate in any manner they can.
 The day commemorate a notable achievement in the history of the world It marks the downfall Of 8 thrust at civilization; victory oi right over might, Most important tc us, it marks our victory, for with out our aid it is likely that tho earlier active opponents of tht kaiseristic philosophy might hav' failed to stem the onslaught from Berlin and Wanna. Indeed, there i every reason to believe that the ex hausted allies would have beer keeled over had 1t not been fo American aid at the opportune mo ment.
 The animositics of the war. how ever should be forgotten. No goo purpose is served by revampin hatred that served its purpose dur ing the war but might as well n longer exist. We live, or shoui live, in a newborn world, freed c the shackles that bound 1t for fou years.

Lodge, IL was the latter who coined the telling phrase, "llcre's to the pilot who weathercd the storm" The words became the slogan Of the campa1gn and were painted on virt- uaily every barn in the common wealth, Had MT. Coolidge been de- feated at that time he would never have been selected for the vice. presidency, And he might have been counted out had it not been for Mir, Lodge.
 The Republican national victory Of 1920 was won on the issue raised by Senator Lodge; he was the lead CT Of the so-caled "Americanized league" and not the Wilson league" Thirty-nine Republican senators joined in a round-robin for the Lodge league, and on this prin- ciple the party won, Of course, the pledge Of an American league" was not carried out after the battle was won Mir Lodge and the SS and the others who were vocifcrous for league as they would have It. evidently preferred none at all, and to this day We not only are out ot the league, but have made no effort to change the rules 80 that we might enter without violating the exalted susceptibiities of those who fear some kind of 'super-state." Such prologue citizens as William II. Taft and A. Lawrence Lowell, on the promise of the Lodge round- robin, Americanized reservation league voted for the Lodge scheme and regard themselves as having been betrayed, along with great many others. But this point. may be immaterial at this time. The ma terlal angle is that the anti-Wilson league battle was engineered and organized by Lodge, that he won 1t, and that as a result of this victory Calvin Coolidge was made vice-presi- dent, within scoring distance of the presidency.
 Senator Lodge was regarded at cold and austere, learned, bookisf and a sch olar in politics. He entered congress in 1887, served three terms in the house and then went to tho senate. He was a product of Massa chusetts and Harvard. His home a Nahant was on one of the pretties promontories along the coast. con siderably removed from the hurly burly of the mob.
 The name Of Senator Lodge vii 20 down in American history II that dull, gray tint that comes t' men, foremost in their time' ye lacking the regard of countrymel that spells enduring fame. Alongside the name and fame of the mal against whom he leered a cynical malignant eye, Lodges will be fain
 indeed. Lodge did more than an other man to destroy the Wilsoi ideal; but the epitaph of fam smiles on the memory Of Wilson and it may frown upon the nam of Lodge.

road system needs radical enlarge ment so as to accommodate trafiio.
 The widening of many if not most existing roads seems to be the most simple, yet not SO simple as it looks. This plan, to be effi- cient. would have to take in q road throughout the entire length of tratfie producing cities. This means that on stretches of the highways high bluffs would have to be eliminated. many of which are the front lawns of valuable property. It would cost large sums to &C., quire them for the purpose. At other stretches, where there are embankments down each side of the road, 1t would be necessary to "fll in" with earth.
 The improvement Of roads not now regarded as main highways merely because they are not i'm proved, is generally conceded to be a good plan. Smooth highways wherever found lure automobile 1 traffic, and the more smooth roads there are in the state the moro traffic will be distributed. Motorists will seek out the less travelled highways If they exist; but If they don't exist they are forced to con- gest those that do offer smooth riding.
 | The proposal to force trucks to use specified roads, with a view to keeping them from the main-traV- eled roads and thus impede traffic is in force in parts of New Eng land, particularly on the boulevard system surrounding Boston. But 1t is possible there because trucks are not put to unreasonable\ difficulties in reaching their destinations there being other well-paTed streets and highways that they can use, Such a plan is made more dlt- fcult where the main arteries ot travel between cities are relatively few and the alternate roads are un' improved. It would be unreason- able to expect busses and trucks to wrestle with difficulties of unlm- proved highways, Such plan would nearly put them out of busi- ness. It is doubtful If the courts would sustain such a rule, resula' ton or law.
 Widening of existing roads ana the construction of additona smooth highways seems 10 logic" method out of the difficulty A truck on a four-car highway would moi need to hinder traffic. Despite the difficulties that confront the state in meeting the requirements Of l'' gasoline-propelled population ..art to solve them will soon have to be made.
