NORA SHORE BREEZE 13 
Tue Cominc Execrion for Governor of Massachu- 
setts, although adjudged by some to be preceded by one 
‘of the quietest campaigns in the history of the common- 
wealth is not without its unique features. In what was 
surely a sharp enough race with three major. candidates, 
that war-horse, Goy. Foss, for reasons unknown, we 
think, to most of the voters of the state, entered the race 
‘and transformed an interesting contest into more or less 
of amuddle. ‘he men themselves who are seeking elect- 
jon as governor this year not without especial interest. 
The picture of a staid business man cofning forth for 
the second tiie as the candidate of a new party interests 
because certain measures which interest everyone are 
claimed to be supported by him and his party in their 
platform. Mr. Bird’s much-vaunted 8-hour, three shifts- 
aday propaganda has been denied and riddled by the 
Republican candidate. Mr. Foss, with his usual original- 
‘ity, builds his own platform, featuring railroad reform 
in this state. We fear Mr. Foss has lost too much of 
the labor vote to be at all dangerous and in addition, 
nearly everyone is pretty much disgusted with his never- 
ending horse play. Mr. Walsh, with the Democracy be- 
hind him, is out to win and apparently welcomes the fact 
that Mr. Bird and Gov.- Foss are running. There is one 
thing sure—Fssex County is confident of Congressman 
Gardner’s election—its voters are going to do all possible 
“to gain that end. But then, everyone has a right to an 
opinion. 
Tre Automosiist that ran over a lad in Newton 
and then turned him out of the car having made a pre- 
tense to take him to a hospital, had a hard heart. He will 
receive no quarter from the state commission and the 
punishment the state will enforce will be small com- 
pared to the penalty an alert conscience will impose up- 
on him. 
Ir WovuLpD SkemM that the suggestion of our corres- 
pondent in the communication printed last week, that 
the Town of Manchester take advantage of present con: 
ditions at the corner of Masconomo and Beach streets, 
and cut a slice off the corner, thus doing away to a great 
extent with the extremely hazardous spot, is a timely one. 
‘The corner is one of the most dangerous in town, as re- 
gards travel. Masconomo street runs along the top of 
the elevation; Beach street runs up the steep hill toward 
the beach. All travel to Smith’s Point must pass this 
corner. The situation is therefore apparent. And in the 
midst of it all is the entrance to the Masconomo: hotel 
property. By cuttig a small piece off the corner and 
lowering the grade slightly, wonderful improvement 
would be made, 
It ts Now Certain that William Sulzer, who was 
deposed from his seat as Governor of New York, is to 
be elected an assemblyman from the Sixth New York 
District. Is there no honor in New York politics? Is 
notoriety or worth the way to public service? 
BrsHop LAWRENCE has made a just criticism of the 
Army and Navy and when thle committee of which he is 
chairman has completed its work it is assured that there 
will be more than twenty-four men to care for the men’s 
spiritual life of 50,000 soldiers and sailors. 
‘Tom CARELESS AND Unpatriotic Usk made of the 
American flag by the Progressive party has aroused the 
ire, and justly so, of the patriotic orders of the state. 
“A New Low Recorp for New Haven” is becoming 
a monotonous news item now adays especially to those
