JUDGE MANGAN'S VICTORY
 OVER JUDGE AILINC.

When Attorney General Benjamin
 W. Alling announced his candidacy for the probate court judgeship it was taken for granted in local Re publican circles that he would at tain it if he came victorious through i the Republican primary, Prior to that Attorney Harry Giusberg step ped aside to give t9e judge less trouble in gaining his end. and Prosecutor Joseph G Woods. who ran in the primary against the At torney General subsequently, was defeated Everything looked sweet for the Attorney General from that time on and he had 90 little on his mind that he recovered nicely from his illness.
 But inc hand of late dealt unfortunately The Democrats nominated Judge William F. Man. gan, a popular and well-Iihed trial attorney, and even in the best Of times that would have insured a po- litical battle Of considerable interest. AS ir has turned out Judge Man. gan profited by the general irrita- tion over Republicanism at present prevailing and he stands elected by comfortable majority in the pro- bate district
 The choice Of the voters lay be- tween two good men. Judge filling distinguished himself as a first rate Police Court magistrate. and was elected by the Republican organiza- ion as Attorney General, subject 10 the vote Of the people, which at the time was readily forthcoming Illness during the greater part of his term as Attorney General left the active work Of that position in the hands Of Deputy Attorney Gen. eral Ernest L. Averill, who has had quite an evil time on the job and was not renominated by the Repub- licans. For Judge filling to return to office in his home city and be Judge of Probate seemed nice way to spend the next few years al least.
 Judge Alling is now left to con- graduate Judge Mangau, a personal friend. For years they lived in ad- joining houses and they have noth- ing but the highest regard for each other. Their friendship continued during the campaign and will con- tinue now that it IS over. They are gentlemen who do not take their politics so riously as 10 become personally irritable at each other. Also, they did not permit personal friendship 10 stand in the way Of attempting to satisfy political am3i- ton.

November ,, 1880.

-SUNeHlDer ,, 1851.
 New Britain Herald, City
 Dear Sir:
 l was much interested in your | editorial of Tuesday where yoo | make a comparison between the de- pression of 1893, which resulted ill i a panic, and the present depression. With some of the conclusions at which you arrive l am in agreement but there are some phases of the panic of 1893 which you did not sui ficiently emphasize at least that Is my opinion. though you may not agree with me.
 Up to 1892. as you state. business vas fairly comfortable here in New Britain and people were well em.
 as you state, in England and Ger many. IL is also true that the gold reserve was depleted and strong ef- forts were made to replenish the gold reserve which finally resulted
 ir an agreement between President Cleveland and John G. Carlyle then Secretary of the Treasury and J. r. Morgan X Company furnished the
 gold required 10 re-establish suf-
 ficient reserve. You will find this
 stated at length in q recent book en-
 titled Morgan. the Magnificent. ;
 The negotiations continued for some
 weeks as Carlyle was not willing to
 put the country into the hands Of
 the Morgan interests. but Cleveland
 finally assented. But there was an-
 other striking cause which you do
 not mention. Tn 1892 the so-Called
 Prof. Wilson Tariff Bill. which was
 practically a free trade bill went
 into effect under the Cleveland Ad-
 ministration and by 1893 this part
 of the country at least had begun
 10 feel the effect of the new tariff.
 I recall distinctly that l borrowed
 from several Of the banks in the
 state for one concern who took ad-
 vantage of the low priced labor and
 filled his factory full during the
 two succeeding years. paying his
 help as low as 7Jt q day and out side Of the foromen hiring most O
 the help at a dollar a day. The re-
 suit was that in 1S96 and 1897 when the Professor Wilson tariff was re-
 placed with the Mckinley tariff this company sold their accumula- ton of goods out within a year at T handsome profit. This was mcasur- ably true Of other concerns in town.
 You are right in saying that condi- ticns in England and Germany i'm proved in 1895. As a matter Of fact, they began 10 improve on our low tariff bill in 'a3. for they began 10 s.nd ship loads Of their products 10 tils country at prices with which VIC could not compete.
 I was in Chicago at the World Fair in June. 1923, and aCquain tanccs Of mine at the Merchants ! National Bank Gone Of the leading banhs) told me to prepare for scri- ous times, that money would be rCarce and trade bad. and tha. rrcrc was liable 10 be serious money disturbance affecting q great many banks throughout the . country.

IMPROVING THE JAIL Is NECESSARY

Former Mayor Paonessa put up a strong light for sheriff, but the small towns in the county spelled his defeat. aided and abetted by the silk stocking population of West Hartford. and the folks in Man. chester and Bristol, New Britain and Hartford. where MT. Paonessa is very well known. gave him what looked like a commanding lead: but Bristol, where he is also some what well known, did not do we'll by him
 The battle for sheriff is likely to be party and personal affair. Not- CTS usually are not much c.ercised over how the county jail is conduct ed. they assuming it is conducted as well as can be the case under the circumstances. Mr, Paonessa tried to make point Of the fact that the jail is out-moded and contains cer- tain ancient methods of comfort- or the lack of which should be rectned. From what We have been told he is correct in this estimate; and probably Sheriff Dewey himself would agree. Pro- viding a better system at the jail. however. or making such necessary improvements as will provide the better system, is county govern ment affair for the most part. The jail is tool that the sheriff has 10 work with as he finds it, The New Britain e&-mayor did public serv- ice in calling attention 10 the un- savOry conditions pertaining to the county Jail and iltese ought 10 be rectified by The county government at the carries, opportunity.

| the factory payrolls in currency and | the Mechanics Bank were obliged to l do the same though at considerab ble l cost to themselves. We were about ! the only town in the state where
 the workmen were paid in currency You are correct in saying that there is practically no comparison between the '9S panic and the pres ent depression for in '9S hundreds O. banks all over the country closed
 their doors. where we sat tight with plenty of money and were able to take care of the community re-
 Quirements.
 In my mind. the panic and con-
 sequent depression of 1873 com-
 pares more nearly with the present
 condition barring the fact that we
 were not then on a gold basis and
 money was scarce and hard to ob-
 tain. The 1873 depression and seri-
 ous panic was caused by over
 speculation as. in my judgment, the
 present depression was caused. Any one who had money speCulated in land at high prices and some of our
 lea ading citizens were caught in th3
 enthusiasm Of the time and had been investing in real estate in 1871 and 1872 when everything looked like continued prosperity although
 we were not on 9 gold basis. The result was disastrous for a number of comparatively wealthy men fail ed. including the only man in New Britain who had inherited wealth. The results Of the 1873 panic and depression lasted for nearly six years but fundamental conditions were entirely different from what they are now. Simplicity of life was the rule and very few bought things they did not need-and the install mcnt payment plan had not been hoaFd Of. Speculation inN gold Tn 1873 was one of the ruling lines of stock gambling or money gambling, which resulted in the Black Fri day" in October Of '73. At that time the New Britain National Bank was the only bank aside from the Sav- iugs Bank and our deposits were comparatively small and we had few outside loans though the local de- mands were very insistent. but MT. Erwin who was then president de- clined to loan the banks money for any speculative purpose. Speculation in local stock was practically nil.
 One rather amusing thing hap pened at the time Of the '73 panic when New York banks and the big brokerage houses were failing rish, and left. Mr. Erwin sent Mir. Collins the cashier, 10 New York with in 10 stay around the Fourth National Bank where We then had our principal account and at any sign of a run on the hank 10 trans fer our funds 10 tho American EX- change National Bank now the lrv- ing Trust Company. The instructions were 10 tSit on the doorstep Of the Fourth National' (of course he did not do thaD but he followed his in structions and waited for two days for a run on that bank which did not matorialize. and as precaution he divided what funds we had in New York between the Fourth Ma ,ioual Bank and tho American EN- change National Bank.
 We should all he thankful that serious panics especially so far as banks are concerned arc things Of tho past, for bankers have all learned a good deal in the last fifty years.
