 Southern New England crosses the Boston & Albany at Palmer, Mass. The line between Palmer and Providence has not been completed. l. Is thought by railroad observers that the New York Central will not hesitate to become interested, which would hs 10 the beneht Of Kew England as a whole. Since the Boston & Albany came under the wing Of the New York Central 1t has been managed as efficiently as any other part of this srea. sys- fem, and today Is regarded as the best equipped railroad in New England.
 The alternative schemes are for the receivers 10 sell the line 10 the Canadian Pacific, the richest and most efficient line in Canada; or 10 sell It piecemeal to any buyers in- terested. The latter plan would be | the least desirable and would be ot no benefit to southern New Eng. 1 land.

BUTIERS TROUBLES IN BAY STATE

William NJ. Butler. senator from Massachusetts by appointment to nll out the uncXpirod term Of the late Senator Lodge. faces a serious Issue at the polls this year. Former Senator David I. Walsh, Democrat, is expected 10 run against him.
 It Is going to be a contest that will be watched throughout the na- ton. Senator Butler Is also chair man Of the Republican national committee. was President Cool idre's campaign manager. and Is regarded as the Presidents man Friday. If he is defeated by the vigorous Democrat 1t will be some thing in the nature of a black eye for the Coolidge administration right in the Pretldent's adopted state.
 Senator Buffers troubles are en- hanced by the fact that this IS no presidential year -- it is merely a congressional year. and he will have to run on his own hook. and not be a tail to the presidentiai kite.
 This suits former Senator Walsh perfectly Walsh was defeated for reelection during the Coolidge landslide, but ran 100000 ahead of the Democratic ticket in Massachu- setts, and was defeated by Gillet by only l9.oo0 votes. Coolidge car ried the state by 422,000 votes,
 This means that had 1t not been a presidential election Walsh would have defeated Gillctt, and prob ably would have done so quite easily. Now Butler has the distinc- ton of taking the place of Gillett in d tusslc with Walsh.
 There is no questioning the fact that Walsh is an enormous vote gettcr in Massachusetts. He is as good a votc-gcttcr in the Bay state as Governor Smith is in New York.
 Francis H. Prescott, chairman of the Massachusetts Republican state committee. has indicated the plan of campaign for Butler The issue in Massachusetts this year Is Calvin Coolidge" he explained. In other words, vote for Butler will be q vote for Coolidge. etc. This at least is admitting that Coolidge is stronger in the Bay state than Butler. SO that t is necessary for the embatued senator 10 lean upon the arms of his frienI in the White House. But the real question is can It be done"
 The hordes that vote for Wals! probably will be unable to sot where the issue is Calvin Coolidge Tn their henighfcd way, they may be able 10 sec only an issue be- tween Butler and Walsh.

THE REPUBTICANs
HAVE SPOKEN


 The victory Of Gardner C, Weld in tho Republican primary was somewhat more decisive than had been anticipated by his friends or even by the Republican city organ ization itself, Considering the viz. orous efforts made by George A., Cuigley 10 wrest the nomination from the party organization it is patent that the anti.organizntion forces lacked both In numbers and in organization. Quigley's friends probably expected his political reputation and previous records as mayor 10 balance the superior methods Of the organization; but in these things luck as we'll as fate went against the emhattled oppo- nent Of the organization wing Of the rarty
 There can he little doubt that q pleasant day would have aided tho cause Of Quigley; whether sun- shine would have changed the re- suit of the preference vote. of course, is another matter, l. Is q ,ruism Of ely politics that bad weather usually aids the orEaniza- ton, as one of the strong points Of strong party system is that it Is able 10 ''get out the vote" through Inc extensive use ot workers and automobiles, whereas the indepcn- dent candidate or the candidate with a lesser organization is at q disadvantage when the weather is inclemeut. Yet every Republican voter who failed 10 be included In the 4i per cent Of voters who did their duty was not a Quiglcy man or woman. Weld, despite his su- perior organization, no doubt lost some votes on account Of Inc weather regardless Of superior ability to hold his own. It seems 10 have been an organiza ton day and Weld brought home the bacon for that reason. Ills strength as the Republican candidate today is not disputed.
 The belief is general that Quig' ley harmed himself when he madt unwarranted charges agains joints" and police protection" 1T the city, and then failed to back up his charges with facts, In a city of this size 1t is impossible fol joints" to exist and bA "protected' by the police without a large par of the population becoming aware of conditions. And the people or the whole knew such things did no exist. As q matter of fact, the DO lice have been active in ferretinl out surreptltious joints whereve found and accounts of such activit, have appeared in the press. Sucl charges cannot help being regarde' as wild" by the general public and there can be little doubt tha they detracted from the Quigle, total.
 The battle for mayoralty honor between Weld and Mayor Paoness ought 10 be spirited and honorabl fought.

School Building
Cannot Be Rented
For Business Use

\ school board cannot legally rent
or lease a school building for COM
mcrcial purposes, according to
decision handed down here by Dis
trict Judge G. w. Ruttz. who ems
Joined permanently the school board
at Maxbass, BOttineau county, from
renting y building purchased Tor
school purposes for motion picture
shows for which admission i ts
charged. -
The suit was brought against the
school board by number of Max
bass citizens, who secured a ShOrE
time ago temporary Injunction
from District Judge a. q. burr Of
Rugby. The building had been retr-
chased and remodelcd for the pur-
pose OF a school gymnasium, but the
board later rented 1t to a motion
picture manager, To which the citt-
xcns objected. in. his opinion Judge
Huttz says that s'thc school board
may permit the use OF school
building for other purposes when
not actually used for school pur-
poses. but that such other. use
must be temporary In it's nature, not
exclusive. nor shall it take en- 4
commercial aspect" 4
