 EDITOR NEws-I see that you have fal- len into the same error in regard to the prohibition state central committee that the Hartford Courant did when report ing the prohibition convention of July 2S. They printed list of 24 names of proh1blt1onists representing the 24 sena- torlal districts in the state and labeled them candidates for state senators, when in reality they are the prohibition state central committee. The only nomina- ton made that day aside from the state ticket was at separate conference of the representatives from the fourth congress slonal district, comprising Fairfield and Litchfield counties, which nominated as the prohibition candidate for congress from that district Edward Manchester of Winsted, who is on the state central committee from the 18th senatorial dis trict.
