NOT THE MINISTERS' FAULT
The contention of the Sentinel, a
short time ago, that the cry in some
quarters that the Mlulsters‘ Assoclav
film had wrecked the Republican cause
' A year ago in the City of Norwalk was
_ ‘auinlne on the face of it, was com-
pletely borne out at yesterday's elec-
tion. As the Sentinel pointed
out at the time, the city
party has long been in'bad shape and
was headed for the grand smash on ac-
count of the sectional tights covering
a period of years. If there was any
last lingering doubt that the city organ-
ization was disrupted, disorganized
and dilapidated to an extent little short
’ of pathetic, it was dissipated when the
count. was announced last. evening.
And most significant of all is the fact
that the only Republican councilman
elected with the exception of John D.
Milne. whose name appeared on both
tlc ts was George lt‘. iletts, who is
I member of the Norwalk Congregav
tional Church and a warm personal
friend of the pastor the Rev George
D, Egbert.
It appears that the Norwalk Repub
llcan party needs a new Moaes to lead
it out of the wilderness. it has cor
thinly been proven that the clergyman

' We read of large sums of money be-

witness leading thoroughfares in the
state that look like part of II ridge in
some unclvlllzed part of the country.
Especially is this true of the highway
from Norwalk to Stamford. Going up
the hill past the Armory in Norwalk
is a road in wretched condition, but
a few rods-further and it defies des4
criptlon.
The whole road bed for some dis-
tance is rough stone with no dirt upon

are used to bad roads. Not only is it
a disgrace to the (‘lty of Norwalk but
to the whole state as well. People of
our own and other states traverse this
road in large numbers. as it is the lead-
ing highway to New York. Only the

Paris Has a More Optimistic Feeling
Regarding the Matter.
PARIS, Oct. Its-"A more optimistic
feeling prevails in government circles
today regarding the amicable adjust-
ment of Franco‘Amerlcan tariff rela-
tions under the new law, as a result
of the explanations furnished by Sena.
ior Nelson W. Aldrich. of Rhode ls-
Ifllld. during his talks last week with
a number of the French ministers and
otbcr'bigb government officials. in
the first place. “Mr. Aldrich disahiiscd
the minds of the Frenchmen of the
idea, entertained here. that the termi-
nation of tbo cxlstiug commercial
agreement IN‘IWilt‘n Franceland the
United States. six months in advance
of the agreements with other coun-
tries. notably (lei-many, was in any
way intended as a discrimination
against France, and secondly, and
more important, Senator Aldrich re-
lieved the anxiety in Paris concerning
the interpretation of Section 2 of the
new law. This the French believed
involved the automatlciinpcsltion of
the American maximum unless France
afforded every minimum and every ad~
ministrative mncesslon in her tariff.
AlrSODle of these concessions had
bee iade after hard fought battles
wit « thor countries in return for
apeclal advantages the government, in
spite of its desire to avoid a tariff
war. was hostile to the granting of
wholesale concessions.
it is understood that Senator Ald-
rich expressed the opinion that Sec-
tion 2 gave President Taft a certain
measure of latitude. and that if
France accorded the minimum rate
upon articles in. which the United.
States was pilnclpslly interested Mr.
'l‘nft would probably consider that
America was not unduly discriminated
against within the meaning of the act.
Senator Aldrich, who‘ is now in Lon-
lon. returns to Paris Thursday to at‘
tend a dinner, 'whlch Minister of
Finance Cochery will give in honor of
the senator and ambassador.
