What Were The Others?

Discussing the coming gubernatorlal situation the Bridgeport Telegram finds that if the republican party put up a strong candidate and he conducted vigorous campaign there is no reason why he should not win. Connecticut is normally a republican state. ." We can almost see the editor typing out this last statement with flourish and a flair that III bcfitted his state of mind. The tense used should have been the past. IL should have read Connecticut was normally a republican state.
 We wonder If today any state in the Union can be termed normally demo- cratic or republican without making the person who utters the boast eat his words. Certainly the last three elections in Con- necticut prove that since 1880 Connec- ticut hasn't been normally republican. By the same token we don't claim that the figures and the elections show that 1t has become democratic. But no one can galnsay the fact that the democrats have elected more candidates to high office since 1880 than the republicans of this state.
 All of which makes us wonder how any stronger candidates or more vigorous campaigns can be waged this fall than that of 1884, 1882 Of even 1880. Perhaps we should eliminate the last one, for in that year republicans took Wilbur L. CrOss % lightly that he just naturally walked in on them. But two years later they were determined to make up for their lapse and failed with a former etannch Vole-Rettcr and ex-governor, John H. Trumbull at the helm. And cer- l1inly two years ago States Attorney

The Philippines will long remain a topic of conversation and debate wher- ever persons interested in the United States inSular possessions get together. The latest to criticize our liberation of the Philippines is Major General James c. Harbord, U.s.A., retired former com mander of the End division of the A.E.F. and chairman now of the board of direc- tors of the Radio Corporation of America. Major General Harbord claims that freeing of the Philippines was the work of politicians. He says, we took all hope of economic prosperity from these people and callously set adrift the one Christian country in the Orient at the Asiatic mercy of the pagan powers" Although not a Catholic himself Major General Harbord paid great tribute to the Cath olic church for it's missionary work in the islands as observed personally by him when stationed there from 1902 to 1914 as an army officer.

The model village that Uncle Sam built up at the Passarnaquaddy Bay tidal proJ- ect in northern Maine may be utilized as a veterans hospital now that 1t seems funds for continuation of this unique engineer ing job will be denied when the present appropriation runs out. Surely something worthwhile can be made out of the spot It would be a shame to allow the millions poured into the project to be wasted in this fashion. Tn a way 1t almost seems as if the tidal project should be continued to success or failure so that everyone can be convinced of it's futility or hope.

New York--Portrait of A Broad- wayitc in His Many Spare Moments: At i2.30 D. m. or thcrcabouts, the average denizen of the lamplit area between Times Square and COluni- bus Circle rises, dresses and riishcs to tho nearest lunchconettc to in- quirc anxiously if the Breakfast Special is still on the menu. He ad- jugtg . carefully knotted necktie by gauglng 1t from the counter mirror and unfolds his newspaper to his favoritc gossip column.
 He takes his luncheon at three places. Aperitif at Bardi's. Gntree at Billy LaIIiff's and deSsert at the Algonquin. For it ig important that hc sec and be seen by producers. stage stars, vaudeville bookerb and agents everywhere.
 Hc ig seldom overweight, for the weird hours, fitfulneSS of the pro- feSsion and lack of frcsh air keep most BroadwayiteS from gathering avoirdupois. He leaves his phone number ct Broadway cigar stores and makes the rounds each morrl- ing to learn If anything's turned up, If unemployed. he rooms with four or five other cronies until af- fluent enough to lease his own hoe tel room.

Hugh M. Acorn waged as hot a fight aS any g.o.p candidate ever did.
 The Telegram explains the situation this way. \. Twice, at least, Mir. Gross was elected not 90 much by republican votes fof Cross as republican votes against too much machine domination of the g.o.p. Tn 1884 he was elected in demo- cratic year. What will happen in 10S6 is in the lap of the gods, but if there is defeatism in the republican high conn mand, 1t is time that the party looked for new leadership. v"

Hartford court officials are going to "crack down" on drivers of cars in we'd ding parties. There is too much blowing of horns of these cars, claim the judges and prosecutors. Instructions are to be issued through the police department to bring in all drivers who make objec- tionable noises by excessive footing of automobile horns. Other cities in the state might follow Hartford's example. Waterbury once. started to do this, but has been a bit lax lately.

 Then, on March 24, 1884, at Jamaica Plain, he hit Mary o. Leary of East Boston, who sued for S2B,O0O. On May l, he was brought in for speeding at Union, Conn. On December 2I he was hauled in at Orange, Conn, going 7eS M. P. H., and this time paid e2O. one week later his car hit Edward Newman of Radnor, Pc. No action.
 Franklin managed Co reform during the next nine months, but on September 1e, he was run in for making 0S miles M. ?. N.
 at Hampton, v. H., forfeited bond for SIS and then paid fine and costs of 9l2. Three days later his car cOllided with the csr of Hyman Barlow, . Maiden, Mass, Iiecktle manufacturer, at c e. m. Barlow sued, but the suit was dismissed.
 On october IS ilO was picked up at Glastonbury, Conn, for speeding to his injured brother" who later did not seem to Do ins jured at all. No action. Since then Franklin has been relatively Carc- fui.
 What it took on the part oe the gentleman in the White House to tone his nainesake down, is not known, but it must have been SOMETHING EVEN MORE ACID THAN THE RSE-AND- BUGGY GCOLDINd ADMINISTERED TO THE SUPREME COURT.
 No Wedding Bells
 Franklin tells his friends hO plans never to marry, which is interpreted by them as meaning that 1t would be politically iFi. expedicnt for him to marry Ethel duPont, the lady who finds great- est favor in his eyes.
 Ethel is the daughter of the Eugene duPOnts, and niece of Ircnee, largest contributor to to the Liberty League. That
 however, does not deter Frank lin from making frequent visits to "OwIs Nest" the duPOnt homo near Greenvllle, Del, nor from taking . Coast Guard cut. ter down to Quarantine when Miss duPOnt arrives from Flu. rope, nor from being right on the dock to say goodbye when last month she sailed on . North Cape cruise.
 Ethel also went ID to Hyde Park for the twcnty-first birthday of her boy friend, which appar- cntly means that Mrs. Roosevelt still is winning out with her theory that tho "chiIdFen must lead their own IIves'.
 That being the case, and the Rooseveltg being the individual istg they are, it'S sure bet tho match will receive q White House blessing, when and if the Presi- dents tcinpcStuoiig famesake can make up his own mind and the ladys.
