politics, according to the Hart ford Courant Not even MT. Pape'S latterly efforts to seize from the vacationing prosecutor the esSent- ial political straws of keeping in Waterbury for his papers the "in- vestigation" have served to stir the state, in spite of plethora of editorial comment py Republican newspapers.
 By Demand"
 Explanation of this comment has failed of elaboration and not all in Waterbury are aware of MT. Pape,s utilization with the board of directors of the Associated Press. The Waterbury papers of MT. Pape send out the Water bury news to AP clients, hence the publicity regarding the Southbury Bund camp and the present politi- cal build-up in the matter of the attack on the Hayes administra- tion. The AP is a cooperative news service with clients demands the predominant factor.
 Thus, with a majority or morn- ing newspapers in the Repubi- can lineup, news" of an attack on a Democratic administration takes precedence over news of such happenings as the Merritt Parkway grand jury investigation, in a manner of speaking. The cry of free press" fails of sincerity in light of the operations of some newspapers, committed as they are to Republican "big busi- ness" Then, too, there were the "war" with Spain and the World War.
 with Malice"
 Evidence of the distribution" of news" in designed manner is the policy story MT. Pape publishes on his front page today under the heading, Pastor Compares Hayes With Hague of Jersey City," Taking the veil away from this play" of the remarks of local minister on the Republicans front page would be simple for anyone knowing MT. Pape's recollections of his New Jersey residence, of his interpretation of part of the pastors lesson from Lincoln, With malice toward none, with charity toward all."
 Further, says MT. Tapes report CT: Which sets an example for all to show that even in battle Christian should show nothing cheap and nothing unsportsman- like" this in connection with the Rev. Theodore c. Bobilin's First Methodist church sermon yester- day in which he is reported by the Republican as follows:
 Lincoln as Honest Abe, MT. Bobilin said, set a standard in politics so often forgotten in larger cities. In this connection MT. Bobili-l pointed to Tammany and eX-Mayor Walker in New York, Mayor Hague in Jersey City and Mayor Hayes and eX- Controller Leary in Waterbury -
 Later, he is reported as remark ing: Speaking of the situation in Waterbury, MT. Bobilin stated that he was not in position to single out any act of dishonesty as such matters must be brought to light by the proper authorities.
 Merit System
 The pastor is reported as "ap- pealing" for adoption of the merit system in Waterbury through support of patriotic" organiza- tions, naming the Good Govern ment association in addition to the American Legion and the D. A. R.
 Back to MT. Pape and the governorship of Connecticut. Observers today remarked that the Hartford Courant has been timely, in the sense of exposing the Waterburian's aspirations, but premature ln the sense that not yet has MT. Pape's campaign reached the point where he him. self, would undertake acceptance" of the Republican leadership. Never, it was said, does the robe of false prophet" weigh so heavily as in the community where a persons seeking public life makes residence, be it Waterbury or Woodbury, Hartford or Passaic.
 No Republican American
 The comment of MT. Bobilin on good government, reported as re- ference to Mayor McLevy of Bridgeport, Mayor LaGuardia of New York, finds no prominence in MT. Papes paper. Nor is MT. Alcorn mentioned by the pastor in his comparisons of Lincoln with the present-day officials of government.
 So, MT. Pape is nominated among a score more, by the politi- cal writer of the Hartford Courant and Hartford's capitol is nine months away, in sense of the phrase.
