A SAFETY DRIVE.

The accident drive" at the stan ley Works evidently has been mis- named; 1t is either an ani-accldeht drive. or a safety drive. The fact that the whistle has blown unin'orrupt- edly at 10 a. m. for a month indi- cates there is more safety than ac- cident connected with this notable adventure in psychology and eff ciency.
 It Is a case Of draping the prin- ciple Of safety first in new Garb' Carefulness is something being as- siduously developed in this city, greatly to the benefit Of citizens gen eraily.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR MAYORS BERTH.


 The announcement Of Gardner O Weld, former service man, that his hat was in the ring, hlntoA at thls morning anl definitely clnchei by tho days developments introduces a new, and partly unexpected. factor into the mayora'ty situation in the city. He will oppose, n now seems former Mayor George Quiglcy and former candidate for mayor, Henry Gardner. Con the tarmoF-labor ticket r memory serves us rishD at the primaries April 1, for the nomi- nation,
 The injection oe a 'lird man into the primary equation should be n welcome egcnt for those who are registered Republicans and have . choice for mayor other than Mir. Qulgloy There are many and varied shades of opinion in tho ranks Of Tho Ronuhlicans as well az tho Demo- crats. r is well that there should be aeyornI candidates in the primarirg as Inc choice is ordinarily limited 70 but two at the polls, inc Socialist parties polling such small votes as 10 be practically ineligible. With the primary elimination the two best or most popular men, become antagonists, Our two party plan al times appears q weakness in the scheme Of government in limiting the choice, something which is over come in part by the primaries,
 It appears as though Mayor Pao- nessa will be the unopp5scd candi- date for mayor on the Democratic ticket. It is certain that he would be chosen were there a Democratic primary, as his popularity is unques- 1 toned. And with Weld, Gardner Quigley and Paoncssa as the prob able only contestants for the job there is offered a fairly wide choice
 The test Of the new Republican machine. with George Klett no long CT at the helm, will be made at tho forthcoming election. It is tho natural desire of the powers that bt to beat the Democratic incumhen and 1t is not stretching the obvious truth to state that the machine ha! no particular desire 10 support Quiz ley. He is fighting 10 control New Britain politically, something whicl the machine does not desire, Il vii be interesting to those with politica inclinations 10 observe the strcngti Of the organization as demonstrates at the primaries and again at in polls, How much it can accomplish will be demonstrated in both places provided A1r, Weld is nominated and in the primaries only we sus poet, if Mr. Quiglay is nominated.

Finds Duties Multiplied.

When Mr.. Rudolph returned to the
District Building in 1921 he found that
the duties of administering the at
fairs Of the Capital had multiplied
greatly with the growth of the city.
