there is doubt about cerns a number cf important passed by the Legislature at Its cial session called solely to act the suffrage amendment eus Holcomb at this writing is quoted being of the belief that the Legislature having been called sim ply to transact a certain business all other business transacted was illegal but the same governor Is also quot ed as having written that the Legis lature was a law unto itself So whereas the second special session wa called to remove doubt concern ing the legality ot its ratification at the earlier session it looks now as though still another session would be necessary other la ws which some they were not in Nominations are the order of ans in office and are not backward pressing their claims Meanwhile high offices look good to ambitious re publicans who don't happen to be holding them and so some thing of a rush for nominations par ticularly in republican ranks Con gressman John Tilson did not have to compete with anyone to secure nomination this year and he was re named by acclamation To his rec ord In the House has been added con siderable military achievement more or less brilliant and for this and oth er reasons his

ratification of the 18th amenaineni to me teaerai tion by the Connecticut Legislature Both the labor unions and the pro hibitionists are doing their utmost to find out where each candidate for public office stands on questions concerning labor interests on the one hand and prohibition on other and the candidate who refuses to where he stands will come mighty near being classed as undesirable The prohibitionists at their state conven tion held in this city were strongly in favor of Everett Lake the re publican candidate for governor but did not indorse his candidacy because his stand on

toward raising the contingent of the militia company allotted in the new arrangement of the national guard is assured In fact there has never been any doubt about it It is true however 'that recruits for the new company came slowly at first Under tho plan announced Greenfield was to have a contingent of 50 men the Others to be enlisted in Orange A total of 35 have been mustered into the service the regi mental surgeons fioin Springfield the headquarters of the 104th regiment of which thig company is a part haviu visited this town last week to ex amine the recruits A large part of the credit for rais ing this company should go to Capt Harold Deane He was appointed captain and told to go ahead and get his men This was much easier said than done In the first place young men seem for the time being at least to be as one former service man ex pressed it "fed on military stuff It is true however that in this town where there are many young men who appear tq have nothing to do evenings except possibly to attend the movies They can be seen any evening stand ing on the street corner resting first on one foot and then on the other and bemoaning the fact that there is no place to go It took all the enthusiasm of Capt Deane plus the aid of a spe cial committee of the chamber of com merce plus the labor and influence of the state company to get the small number of men interested who were absolutely necessary to form the beginnings of the half company to which it has been decided that this town is entitled There is something strange about the fact that while the armory is thoroughly equipped with everything that would seenj to call to the athletically inclined young man they do not answer the call It takes the strains ot a jazz band in a dance hail to bring any slgna of life from them It is pointed out by those who know the game however that the seeming apathy ot youth toward matters military at this time is not a very Important sign and that those interested in the reorganization of Co should not be discouraged thereby Those who have been through the mill know that it is a hard thing to get a military company organized in a town It requires hard work and some times the pulling of wires with state authorities to bring it about Many years ago Greenfield secured such a company It has always been a suc cess There has always been a ten dency among those who should have supported it by giving to it some of iheir sparo moments for the purpose of learning to shoot and drill to take it too much as a matter of course that the company was an established fact and should always be here There has been much of the attitude a company in this town is a fine thing but I do not want join let George co This company after distin guishing itself at the annual muster or several years went away to Cuba to take part in the Spanish American tear The company bore its share ot the fighting in that brief war bravely and with great credit It suffered severely both at the front from gun fire and later from illness When the boys came home such of them as did come home taey had to be lifted from the train and the company had to be lecruited and reorganized This was successfully done after much the same trials and hesitation as is now in evi dence The company was eventually rebuilt and was in fine condition on the day yyhen it became a part of the 104th infantry of Uncle overseas forces Its i ecord in the world war needs no comment While the brave young men of this company who hud given their tune and their vacations so that they might be prepared for just such an emergency those other young men who did not get into the game and who had perhaps smiled a smile when the "tin inarched away to camp at ramingham in former years wore earning good pay
