Warm commendation of thel
work done by Russian Poland by
the Germans during the period
of occupation was given by Dr.
Karl Helfferich, the Secretarv of ;
the Interior and Imperial Vice-‘
Chancellor of Germany. today.
on his return to Berlin from ai
visit to that country. i
Dr. Helfl‘erich. who recounted?
the impression of his visit to a‘
member of the Overseas News,
Agency staff, contrasted the con-3
dition of the country under Rus-'
sian rule'with the state of affairs
there today. In times of peace,
the Russians had neglected thel
country, said Dr. Helfferich. Then
came a period of hostilties whichj
had devastated the land. Underl
these conditions the Germansl
took up the work. which the vice-l
chancellor insisted has been ac-
complished with a success which
could find few parallels in his-
tory. '
The retreating Russians, Dr.
Helfierich pointed out, had burn-
ed villages and towns and des-
troyed the harvest. The Germans
first built roads through the do.
vastated territory, and supplied
cattle and seeds to the inhabi-
tants. with the result that now
one frequently could see herds of
a hundred or more cattle, while
fields of standing grain were on
all sides. He cited an instance of
aid given the inhabitants by the
Germans, the farmers of one dis-
trict being left the horses of two
regiments for field work on or-
ders given by General Luden-
dorff. ‘
Dr. Helfferich said he found
schools everywhere now, even at
places where none were maintain-
ed when the Russians ruled the
country. Tho University of War-
saw, where lectures were given in
the Polish tongue, had a large
number of students.
All nationalities. Dr. Hellfer-
ich said, were given equal recog-
nition with the White Russians
and Lithuanians. Terrible suffer-
ing existe among the Jews
when the rmans arrived, the
vice-chancellor decla'red, and in
most tov'Vns they had been excludg
ed from the schools by the Rus~
sians. The Germans, he added,
introduced self-government 'n the
country for the first time an ad-
mitted Jewish representatives to
the governmental bodies.
Other work done by the Ger-
mans consisted in the institution
of self-governing counties and
t
I
cils and the encouragement of the
publication of newspapers in the
Polish language. while the‘Rm

When questioned as to why public
sentiment had turned againsgtbe Nor-

in Bridgeport the feeling in one part
of the party was against Mr. Dono-
van because he did not play politics
by the rules. and that the other part
of the party would not support hlml
because they know he could 301‘ be
elected.
As to other candidates who would'
be favorably received by the'party, it,
was learned that three men in the!
county would be very favorably lookedl
upon by the democratic party. These-
three are former Secretary of State

by the Stamford man. it is clear that
he would accept the nomination If ltl
was offered him. Mr. Phillips would:
undoubtedly be a good man for the‘
position, and having friends and er,
perleucc in political life, would stand
a good show of being elected.
Senator Peck, of Reddtng. ls anotlierl
man who would be favorably receiv-l
ed. Mr. 'Peck has also had oxperlencej
in the political game, and has alwaysl
done credit to his community and his!
friends. It is also assured that Ms;
Peck would be ably supported by many l
members of the party in the contest.t
How -.\Ir. Peck stands on the matter“
however. is a uestlon of doubt. [ii
is not known whether {he Reddingl
man would care to enter the fight or;
to withdraw his name. ’
Judge 'Keogh, of Norwaik, was alsol
mentioned favorably. Taking all;
things considered it appears that the
judge would be in on the running:
should he care to accept the nomina-g
tion If it were offered him. JudgeI
Keogh, as was proven in last ”an,
convention, would have the solid sup,
port of Norwalk, and according to the
Bridgeport man would ‘be receivod
favorably in the Park Cit . It Is also
believed that throughout the entire
county, the judge's name would be re-
ceived with enthusiasm. Bridgeport
showed its like for the local man,
when it voted for him to attend the
convention In St. Louis In June, and
it is quite probable that the Park City
would again swing to the support of
the St Louis delegate. The feeling:
of Danbury, and upcounty towns in
regard to the matter, have not yet
been determined. dithough it is sup
posed that they would support Judge
Keogh if Senator Peck withdrew.
With any or all of these men In the
field. It can fairly be believed that all
chances for the Hair Jeremiah‘Dono
