gard should be present at Phyllis

non-partisan discussion of the
merits of candidates for these i'm
portant offices.

In New Haven and in Hartford, Democratic mayors were reelected by votes breaking all records for preponderance over their opponents In Bridgeport, Mayor Jasper Mo- Levy and the Socialist ticket, were swept into office by the largest mar gin yet accorded the Socialist ticket in the three successive elections where 1t has proved dominant factor.
 Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy ot Hartford, appointed after the death of the elected mayor two years ago and, in the unofficial returns, all of the Democratic candidates for city office, swanped their Republi- can opponents. The Republican al- derman declared elected" by Re- publican moderator of a district af- ter death of his Democratic oppo- nent, will face difficulty arising from the fact that more votes were cast for the dead Democrat than for himself.
 In New Haven, labor takes a con- siderable part in the election picture, returning Mayor John w. Murphy for his fourth term with the larg- est vote ever accorded mayoralty candidate. With him 29 Democratic aldermen were swept into office, in- creasing Democratic representation on this board by seven members
 The Republican party ceased tc be even a dangerous minority in the three largest Connecticut cities yes terday. Which brings up the fourth city in the state, Waterbury, where currently, there is the situation ot Republicans and Independent Dem- ocrats, acting as Fusion party contesting a close election of the Democratic ticket head, Mayor Frank Hayes, for his fifth success sive term in office.
 State committee and members oi the large city Democratic organiza- tions looked into the future today and wondered about the state elec- ton next year when not only state but Congressional officials will be chosen. Until the post-election ex- citement has diminished little will be heard of the plans forming for next year.
 But there is assurance from yes- terday's returns that several strong candidates for high state offices may be developed during the next few months. Mention has beer made of Mayor Murphy of New Ha- ven, as a potential candidate for the governorship, if and when, Governor Wilbur L. Cross decides that he will not seek reelection.
 Whether Mayor Hayes would seek reelection as lieutenant-governor on such ticket, remains to be de- termined. Throughout the state because of the large pluralities oi Mayor Spellacy and Mayor Murphy contrast between the Waterbury election Is giving Democratic lead CTS material to be used in considera- ton of next years ticket.

At Snake river they camped for two
weeks waiting for the flooded stream to
go down. They would have had to re-
main longer had not a party of federal
soldiers arrived there to build a ferry
for the government. When the soldiers
came there were between 100 and $50

Is other wagons dropped out OF the
wagon train to go there. They were
told they could never make the trip
with wagons, 10 they stopped at Three
Buttes to cache their surplus proyis-
ions and rig pack saddles. When they
had done this, they started on again,
leaving their wagons and the supplies
which they could not carry.
They hadn't gone five miles before a
party of Indians set fire to their wagons
and looted their store of provisions.
They lost everything they had left be-
hind. They travelled over the mountains
with a guide. When told they were
within n days travel Of Florence, the
guide deserted them. They could do
nothing but go ahead, but they never
reached Florence. They followed the
trail until they came to the head
waters of the jefferson river where
they found a number of men mining
and got their bearings again. They were
off both the Oregon trail and the Flor
ence trail.
