His career aavan executive may be brief, however, for on Dec 16 he will again go before the voters of the State, this time as a candidate for United States Senator, to succeed the late Senator Frank B. Bran-degee. And If he Is sent to Washington this rapid change In his position bo completely In keeping with the rest of his colorful life. Twelve years ago Hiram Bingham was leading an expedition to the peaks of the Andes, sweeping the dust of centuries from a noble ruin of a civilisation which flourished In America hundreds of years before Columbus confuted the scientists of the Old World. Six years later he was in France, In command of the United States' greatest aviation school, after having served for four months as Chief of Personnel of the Air Service of the American Expeditionary Forces.

Today this explorer, writer, college professor and aviation officer, swept Into office on the crest of the Republican wave, Is preparing for his Inauguration at Hartford on Jan I. And his extraordinary career may still extend Into other fields, for Prof Bingham explorer Bingham, Lieut Col Bingham, Lieut Gov Bingham, Gov-Elect Bingham, call him what you will -on the threshold of the Govern- that will take him out with his pals make htm healthy, strong keep him busy with die big worth while things outdoors.

"Carpetbagger," say the Republicans of Hamilton Holt. For Lieut Gov Bingham, elected Governor Nov 4, ia th Senatorial nominee and hopes to land a trip to Washington Dec 16. If his piana work out, he will be inaugurated Governor Jan 7, will deliver his inaugural message to the Legislature, attend the inaugural ball of the Governor's Foot Guard in his honor that evening and then resign and hurry to Waahington.

The cry againat Mr Holt li that he was just made a voter Sept 20, that his home really ia in New York and that at present his Woodstock house is closed, so that letters addresjed to him must be forwarded to New York city. Democrats admit that he haa just been made a voter, but point to the fact that hia family is "deep rooted" in the soil of Connecticut, having been Nutmeggers for mere than two centuries, and they claim that he has been a resident of the State for two years and that he haa lived in Connecticut a portion of every year since he was born. Both Bingham and Holt are Yale graduates. Ex-Gov Everett J. Lake is the most outstanding Republican bolter.

Ia announcing he would vote for Holt he said Bingham's action in rejecting the Governorship to which he was elected in favor of Senator Brande-gee'a place at Washington was indicative of a "spirit of sport or dighty ambition." Holt is finding Democrats of the state so cool toward the League of Nations, for the urging of which he has devoted the past few years, that he is sticking to the World Court proposal in his consideration of foreign affairs. National Republican headquarters admita it is "irritated" over the bolters. And so Senator Moses is here for the campaign and he will have Senators Borah and Watson and Secretary Hughes to make speeches. The defeat of Col Binham for the Senatorship would undoubtedly mean the replacing of J. Henry Roraback, Republican State central committee chairman and "boss" of the party in Connecticut.

His organization accomplished the nomination of Bingham in spite of the opposition from forces led by two Congressmen, who desired promotion. Bingham plans a "front-porch" campaign, limiting his addresses to groups of workers. Holt is stumping the State and hopes to have Gov Al Smith come over the line and give him a hand. Al is highest among the mortals in the estimation of folks in Waterbury and the adjacent Nauga-tuck Valley section. The election of Bingham would give the Governorship to State Senator John Trumbull.

The Trumbull family has already had two men in the Governorship, the first being "Brother Jonathan" Trumbull, George Washington's stanch friend.

Situated on a mountain, it was virtually the only large Inca community whioh escaped the ravages of the Spanish treasure hunters. It was evident that Its construction toad cost many generations, If nojt centuries, of effort, as the city was built of stone blocks, without the use of mortar or oement, and with the aid of stone implements only.

Prof Bingham obtained at Machu Plcchu many Interesting relics of the Inca civilization, Including pottery and tools probably used toy Inca or pre-Inca stone masons. His party discovered many burial caves, and found that Born In Honolulu He was born in Honolulu, and was the son of one of the pioneer missionaries. He received hUr preliminary education in the Hawaiian Islands, and enrolled at Yale after being graduated from Phillips Academy, Exeter. He worked hi way through Yale, where he was graduated In 1898. After his graduation Prof Bingham returned to the Hawaiian Islands.

For eight months he was superintendent of the Palama Chapel Mission, and then he became a chemist In the employ of the American Sugar Company. His stay In his native islands was short, however, as he soon returned to the United States to complete his education. It was after he received his PhD at Harvard, in 1905, Gov-Elect Bingham said, that he decided to begin his explorations. "I went South and began explorations. I had practically no experience, and I went as it was generally supposed explorers did go.

And in my first venture I paid the price of terrible BICYCLES for headquarters In Washington from the first of May, 1917, until -the flr.it of April, 191S; was then on duty with the chief of the Air Service In the American Kxpedl-tlonary Forces until the latter part of August, 1918; was in command of tba Third Aviation Instruction Center, la-soudun, until Christmas, Ols, and on return to Washington was again on duty at headquarters until March, lW Such Is the story, in brief, put there li much that it does not tell.

We were all last week trying to sink our greatestbattleahip, It's hard to go against public sympathy. When a thing is carrying the good wishes and hopes of a majority of the people it may get licked in the end, but it generally puts up a pretty good fight. And the Washington (that would hav boon our most magnificent battleship; was no exception. She was hard to sink, not only on account of her armored plate, but because everybody hated to see her sunk. In other words, she was carrying too much sympathy to go down easy.

Here is a boat he had spent 35 million on, and we go out and sink Three Windows, Prof Bingham' found proof of his b-Uef that Machu Plcchu was the cradle of the Inca race, as a tradition of that civilization was the story of three brothers who led their people out of three windows to a conquest which ended at Chile on the south and Ecuador on the north. The empire had Just reached Its height when the Spaniards came. Plsarro's party, despite Its small slse. rapidly conquered the country through the superiority of Its arms. Pisarro selected Manco, son of a former Inca, to govern for him.

but the Inca raised an army of faithful Indians and fled to Vltcos, the last Inca capital, where he lived for 10 years. It was to this city that Prof Bingham next turned his steps. The party brought with it on Its return specimens of the corn and potatoes grown In the Andes. They found that "the tineas had developed the white potato out of a little bulge on a root into 20 different varieties suited for different cllmdtes, tastes and needs." The expedition made discoveries of great import, historical and otherwise. Three years later Prof Bingham returned to South America at the head of an expedition, having spent the interval In teaching at Yale.

In that same year, 1915, he was made a full professor of Latin-American history at Yale, and remained In that post until this month, save for the two years he was In the service. it. And the funny part about it is that it cost us more to sink it than BICYCLES The Best Gift For the GROWING BOY Priced Attractively For the CHRISTMAS SEASON James W. Brine Co. 286 Devonshire St.

Becomes Yale Follow In February of 1918, in response to call from Gen Pershing for 12 experienced officers, Prof Bingham volunteered to go to France. In April ha became chief of personnel for the Air Service of the American Expeditionary Forces, and In August, when the service was reorganized, he was sent to take command Of the Third Aviation Instruction Center at Issoudun, a school which Included Capt Wckenbacker and Lieut Quentin Roosevelt, two of America's famou aces, among its graduates. Prof Bingham received his discharge March 8. 1919, and returned to teach Latin-American history at Yale.

We shot all the ammunition we had left over from the war into It and those big guns on the Texas they were using. They only are good for so many shots during their lifetime. So we spoiled the guns of our next best boat trying to sink the best one.

A great many people don't understand Just how this sinking came about. You see we had a conference over here a few years ago. It was called bv America. We were build- His Face Toward the Andes On this tflrst exploration, in 1906, when he traced out the route of Bolivar, the great South American patriot, across Venezuela and Colombia, he practlcallv lived 118 days on muleback, and for four and one-half months was out of telegraphic communication with his family. This was only the beginning, for in 1908 he again turned his face toward the Andes.

The opportunity to renew hie explorations was offered when he was appointed a delegate of the United States Government to the first Pan-American scientific congress held at Santiago. Chile, in December and January of 1908 and 1909. In 1911 he returned to Incaland Once more, at the head of the Yale Peruvian expedition. This trip was marked by the first ascent of Mt Coropuna, 51.703 feet Uon in South America in the past SO years." Prof Bingham's description of the discovery of Machu Plcchu tells a vivid story: "Presently we found ourselves in the midst of a tropical forest, beneath the shade of whose trees we could make out a male of ancient walls, the ruins of buildings made of blocks of granite, some of which were beautifully fitted together in the most refined style of Inca architecture. "A few rods farther along we came to a little open space, on which were two splendid temples or palaces.

His brief story of his work, as told In his book, "An Explorer in the Air Service," tells of the part he played in the struggle: "The writer began to fly at Miami In March, 1917; was on duty at aviation them much less being near an ocean. Well, all the powers got seasick coming HAMILTON HOLT Opposing Bingham For Senate it had been the custom of the inhabitants of the city to bury their dead In a sitting position with the kes raised.

which hampered Lord Carnarvon's party In Egypt. "The Peruvians do not understand why any one should desire to resurrect the dead. They have no consuming curiosity about the past. Accordingly, they were suspicious of our undertaking; and their efforts, I assure you, weer far from helpful." Machu Picchu had been made invulnerable by its situation In the Andes and by its walls and other fortifications. It was a city of many stairways, more than 100 being found by the exploring party, the longest of which had 15 fountains beside it.

Togo (with apologies to Wallace Irwin) replied aa to wit: "Honorable Gentlemen, Hal Ha; (excuse laugh. I don't speak very good, English) Japon she have a dream of having more ship on seas as any Nation under italng sun.

Now Japan is willing to do what she can to help America from being too tig on ocean. So Japan propose as these faets; She. Japan, will forget half of her dream Well, not quite half (excuse me, I know not American figures very well). She will forget two-fifths of her dream, abe will promise to.be Just thrae-fifths as big as America and England. Of course, she la now only one-ninth as big, but we will build as fast as we can and we think that by us doing away with our big dream and only remembering three-fifths of it that we are acting In a very honorable and generous mood.

I thank you." Mr Hughes arose, bowed, and thanked our Nipponese guest as now related: "I had no Idea when I called this conference that I would' get the wholehearted support that I am now receiving. England Is tearing up halt her blue prints and Japan had' disc' -led two-fifths of her dreams and I have Jut been informed that Swltzgerald has promised to cut her bob sleds in half. Now gentlemen, I will ahow you wh.it America Is prepared to do. JFar every battleship you fellows build America will sink one." Well, that Just brought down the house. He was appointed Secretary of State for life, it was good economy because with him Secretary of Stats, they would soon need no Secretary of the Navy.

And for an encore of his knockout aneeeh ranllarf! "Vm navy in the world. Well, the League of Nations gathering in Paris had attracted a lot of attention and got quite a lot of publicity, most of which had been shared in this country by the Democrats. So when the Republicans' got in, they conceived the idea of a publicity stunt for the Republicans. Why not let them have a conference? So they decided that was a good thing. But what would they confer about? Well, that was kinder of a sticker, because the League of Nations had conferred about six months, and in that time had taken up about every question on the calendar.

So Secretary Hughes happened to think of the idea: "Let us confer on sinking battleships." Well, the idea was so original that they immediately made him the toastmaster. You see, up to then, battleships had broken up, but permitted us the privilege of using It as a target before sinking. This was one of the advantages accorded us by the Treaty." Now those are his very words. If I purposely thought a year I could not think 0f anything as ridiculous as that. ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES GAINED WAS TO USE OUR OWN BOATS AS over, as it was their first voyage.

Nations who heretofore had no navy had to fake up some kind of naval uniforms. When they arrived In Washington everybody wondered where tae masquerade ball was going to be held. Of course, the foreigners had to furnish most of the plcturesqueness, but ot'r members did the best they could. They got out their old Inauguration suits and turned them upside down and scattered moth balls all over the carpet. What we lacked In personal appearance at the conference we made up In genrcs-lty.

The toastmaster arose, reassembled his beard, and spoke as "Friends and debtors (because they all owed us money), at the rate we are building battleships In this country. In three years we will make the eong, Bri-tanla Rules the Waves, sound like Yes, We Have. No Bananas. Now we lon't want to destroy the truth and merit of a song which a Nation has already gone to the trouble to learn, so we want to do what is right. We don't want to be the biggest naval Power because we hive no song to that effect.

So we figure it Is better and cheaper to stop and destroy what we have than It is to go to the trouble of writing a new song. Now let us get right down to brass tacks and lay our plans on the table. Kng-tand, what have you got?" England replies as follows: "Well, my plans call for the building within the next six months of 61 battleships it the first line, 286 destroyers and 600 mtsosl-laneous gunboats. Now we are willing for the sake of world peace to tear those blue prints In half. We will tor national unity, sacrifice half what we intended to do.

Now don't think that any Nation could be fairer than thWt; these plans that' we made up on the boat coming over coat us time, and paper is high. and I don't think that we should be asked to give up more than that." Mr Hughes responded as follows: "That Is the kind of spirit that I was sure you would exhibit and I think that what you offer is not only fair but more A TARGET.

Rome Will Excavate the Circus Maximus HOME The Cabinet has Anally decided to Introduce a bill to authorize the excavation of the Circus Maximus, which through the Imperial period In Rome was the largest and moat famous of the Roman places of amusement. This vast which had seating room for 300,000 spectators, lay In the valley between the Palatine and the Aventlne, where the eras works at present stand. The removal of this eyesore from one of the most historic fiitea of Rome has long been felt to be a necessity, and the Government's decision to begin the work Is enthusiastically received. The excavation of the Circus Maximus Is part of a larger scheme to increase "the monumental area" so that It will Include the Fra of the Caesar and the lapes of the Capitol.

The, work on the Forum of Augustus has already been begun. It would be cheaper for us to give the battleships to them than it would for us to have to sink them ourselves. Now they are talking of having another naval disarmament conference. We can only stand one more. If they ever have a second one we will have to borrow a boat to go to It.

You see, we don't like to ever have the start on any Nation In case of war. We figure It looks better to start late and come from behind. If we had a big Navy some Nation would Just be picking on us all the time. But as It is now, with us and England 6-5, that is, we are supposed to be equal, why, if we ever had a war It would be a tie. But why fix It so two Nations wljl fight a tie in a war? They will only want to fight It over again.

Agreeing on how many boats each Nation shall have would be like agreeing on how many shots each Soldier could fire a day In case of war. Before you went to war you would have to look at your contract, to see what you was allowed. Now we find that a Storm was Instrumental In sinking the Washington. Mr Wilbur, our Navy Secretary, said: "The results of the experiments on the attempted sinking of the Washington ware of great Military Value." I guess it showed him where to have a Boat located In case a storm waa coming and you wanted It sunk.

He says he don't want the other Nations to find out how we did It. Don't worry, they are not going to sink any of theirs. Sinking your own Boats is a military strategy that will always remain in the sole possession of America.

Here is the funny part about the Disarmament Treaty. It says there Is to be no more war, so we must sink our boats, but we are allowed to practice shooting at them as they go down, In case there is another war and we need the marksmanship. If they are trying to outlaw war, why don't they quit practicing shooting? BUT I SHOULD BE THE LAST ONE TO KICK. THEY FURNISH MB WITH MATERIAL TO MAKE-A GOOD LIVING.
