Canton and Woodbury had about the hottest caucuses in the state. Bristol and PIain- gates who. however, appear sympathetic to Alcorn. In Canton Leroy Miner defeated Representative Arthur John- son for a place on the state delegation. The Manchester republicans caucussed peace- fully and Judge Raymond Johnson was named to head the state delegation. Speak, ing for himself he said he would support the AIcorn candidacy. Deputy Sheriff Harry F. Comstock received the endorsement of the East Hartford county delegation for the shrievalty nomination in Hartford county. Several others are after the post.

Ex-Senator Albert Lavery of Fairfield won a smashing victory in his home town and will head the delegation to the state convention. He was pre- siding at the meeting when certain ones in the opposition directed personal remarks at him. He immediately vacated the chair and went to the floor where amid cheers he an- swered his attackers and "stole the show. Lieuten- ant-Governor Roy Wilcox of Meriden heads the state dele- gation from that city. He has the support of his home town TOT the gubernatorial nomina. ton and is understood to have hidden strength throughout the state. Former Meuten- ant-Governor Clifford B. Will son of Bridgeport, who wants the gubernatoriaI nomination now appears to have lost much ground. This is due to the fact that the Bridgeport g.o.p. town committee on August 10th adopted resolu- tons favoring the renomina- ton of State Treasurer J. Will liam Hope of that city and also calling upon the party to nominate a Bridgeport man for the high shcriff's post of Fairfield county. It appears unlikely now that Bridgeport will demand q third honor in the form of gubernatorial nomination for Wilson.

 MT. Henderson and the officials of the Disarma- ment Conference Bureau have decided further postponement to April TO- That gives further two months for interchange of notes in what is frosty atmosphere Whether the new French Gov ernment will make the atmosphere worse is un- certain but too likely; Government of National Union, with it's Tardeus, it's Marins, and it's gen. erals, is likely to be stiffer than its predecessors The reports of it's reply sent yesterday to the last German note are unpromisng; it is said to amount to a pretty blunt rejection If so it is the more desirable that the British Government should secure leary replies to it's memorandum. Somehow or other we must get a convention which will limit every ones arms and put them under supervision What would the ordinary man like to know this ment? He would probably like to know whether Germany would be satisfied with the proposed amount of rearmament plus the conditions attached and whether she will return to that "Euorpean system which is based Geneva whether, if France will not accept the British memorandum
 lit is because she distrusts it's provisions for lity, and, in that case, what would content her The British Government should be not passive but active in creating the conditions of agree lment It is said, for instance, that Germany while professing to accept control is anxious to evade it. Then we should call the bluff It is said that France does not believe that we are ourselves sincerely in favor of effectual control. Then we should show her by our acts that she is wrong. By themselves these notes like Big Bertha with her long-range occasional shells They win victories; they have to be supplemented by an active sincere diplomacy

 Only few Republicans in Congress have as yet made public comment on the Presidents tariff mes sage. They express certain degree of anguish but ing muscles of their throats get fairly limbered up message perfectly outrageous" One Senator described it as the most "audacious" demand that Congress had listened to from a President. That MT. Roosevelt's plan is utterly "unconstitu- tional," various unnamed Republican authorities have already decided But wait till you hear from the Home Market Club. Give the Protective Tariff League a chance to it's breath, and you will hear adjectives and epithets flying through the air thicker than razors. Thus far we have had but the beginnings of outcry against the sacrege of laying a wicked hand upon that Ark of the Covenant, the sacred Shoot -Hawley tariff
 Doubtless there will be few Democrats ready to join the Republican walters The latter count upon such an accession from the other party Until they know how solid they can keep their own ranks and now many deserters from the other side will join them, they will not formulate their policy of opposition to the Presidents program Yet the fact that it has got off with good start and left it's opponents confused and uncertain is of encouraging augury. They cannot openly contest MT. RooSevets main argument. It is that unless somehow we manage to a good part of our lost foreign commerce, shall be condemned to see idle mills and untitled fields and millions of the unemployed If his plan is not the right one, they are bound to put forward better. But can they do so? long line of Republican leaders, from Blaine and Garfield to Taft and Hoover may be adduced witnesses that they cannot Re- Icprocal trade agreements have long been a pro- fessed article of Republican faith It cannot have become suddenly heretical just because it has been adopted by a Democratic President

A WELCOME POLICY.

For many years, Alaskans have questioned the soundness of the contract labor system by means of which labor has been employed in the cities of the lower Pacific Coast and brought here to work through the salmon fishing and canning season. They have long recognized that it was the main factor in reducing employment of local labor to an unhealthy minimum and in keeping wages well below those normally paid in other industries That abuses existed under it to the disadvantage of those hired under it was long suspected but proof difficult to obtain since the contracts made outside of Alaska and labor paid off at the place of employment
 Recently convictions were had in San Francisco under the California peonage law of three labor contractors, based upon specific abuses of labor and show that graft premeated the contract system to shameful degree. Of course, the conviction of these three individuals does not prove that all contractors furnishing cannery labor follow or courage the practices involved It is probably true however, that opportunity for them to do so is present in the system. That is of the great evils of the system. As long it exists, un- serupulous will take advantage of it.
 This seems to be recognized by the Alaska Pack CTS Association which, through its vice-Presdent A. K. Tichenor, has announced it will employ no more labor through contractors abandoning policy It has followed ever since it started packing salmon in Alaska. It will hire it's own workers and MT. Tichenor said, will probably engage most of them from the ranks of unemployed Alaskans
 That is a brand policy-not only for the Alaska Packers but new for practically the entire industry It is as welcome it is The lead thus taken by the Alaska Packers ought to be followed by all of the packers none of whom can by now be ignorant of the serious evils involved in the contract system. If they did not know Of them before, the San Francisco trials must have opened their eyes. What are they going to do about it? The Alaska Packers have set them a fine example. Will they follow it?

FIRST STEP TOWARD HOME RULE.

In repeating the Prohibition laws in Alaska, Congress has done two things of than ordinary significance. In popular opinion, of course, the killing of the Dry laws is the paramount thing And it is a great step. However in clothing the Alaska Legislature with the authority to control and regulate the liquor traffic without interference from Washington another act of equal if not greater importance taken.
 Repeal of course, would have been highly well because it would end the farce that has been enacted by the Dry laws in Alaska since 1918 Like the remainder of the country, Alaska has been dry in theory, only There has never been time when almost any kind of intoxicating liquor wasn't obtainable. Prices, of course were high and the quality generally inferior But the kick" there In repeating the Dry laws Congress ends the farce and makes it possible for those who want it, to obtain liquor legally It is the first step toward wipng out the bootlegging traffic.
 When Congress, however, wrote into the repeal law the provision that from henceforth Aaskans should say how, when and where liquors should be manufactured and sold it revoked policy that has prevailed here since Alaska changed from Russian to American sovereignty. Since 1867 Washington has said who could engage in the liquor traffic and how they could operate It fixed license fees and granted refused licenses AlaSkans had no actual authority in the premises
 That is changed now We have attained home rule" in the matter of control and regulation of the liquor traffic This is the first of several introduced by Delegate Dimond extending more complete system of nome rule to the. Territory The recognition by Congress in this instance of the principle that local self-governnient is after all, the best sort of government is bright augury. It leads to the hope that it will extend the principle in the administration of fisheries, fur and game and other things long denied to us.

EXCURSION THROUGH THE YEARS.

The modern tourist thinks nthng of crossing a continent. It has remained for Virginia to give him the thrill, not alone of touring through space but of jumping the interval of years For decade Virginia has been restoring and reconsructing Tidewater Va to resemble the Old Dominion when it was new The crowning achievement of this movement will have its elimination when the General Assembly of the State, meeting out of Richmond for the first time in 180 years, sits at Williamsburg to take over the restoration of the old Virginia capitol replaced on foundations 282 years old

President and Newspapers.
(New York world-Telegram.)

It is the custom of newsapers to be critical of Presidents. Now in transmitting the newspaper code, a President becomes critical of newspapers. Whereupon certain newspapers grow highly insult The New York Herald Tribune, for example calls for apologies from the President.
 To us the affair seems to classify of those rare news events immortalzed by Dana, in which the man bites the dog.

 The newspapers enjoy free press
 The President enjoys free speech.

Another LaGuardid and
Organ Outrage

MAYOR La Guardia's list of anti-labor
III actions mounts.
Another point can be scored on the roll
of attacks on the working-class with the
raid of a dozen detectives Thursday night
on the headquarters of the Fur Workers
Industrial Union the searching of the
premises the breaking of desk locks. the confs-
cation Of papers and the arrests of eleven workers
all this without even the formaity of a search war
rant
Thus La Guardia and his police chief Organ
show their "friendliness to labor"
The latest attack undoubtedly inspired, as
the Fur Workers Industrial Union charges, by a
number of manufacturers and the leaders Of the
defunet A. F. of L. union in the trade. 1t comes in
suspicious sequence to the victory by the F. W.
L U. against the manufacturers and the signing OF
an agreement entailing important concessions for
the workers.
La Guarda cannot dodge the responsibility.
The workers of New York must place it at his door
in emphatic terms and demand a cessation Of
these attacks on labor All workers organizations
must make the most vigorous protests against the
latest La Guardia- Organ outrage!
