POLITICAL AFFAIRS IN CONNECTICUT


GREAT INTEREST IN THE REPUBLICAN TICKET
PLACES FOR DEMOCRATIC WORKERS
Hartford Conn, July 22.-The vote of the three
Democratic representatives from Connecticut for the
Mills bill does not make that measure any more
popular In Connecticut. Mr. Vance Of this district,
who elected protective platform OF his own
framing receives credit for doing what he dared TO
do in behalf OF protection by soaring Mr.. Mills out
Of the wood-screw section and securing an amend
ment which allows the duty TO remain as 1t now Is,
but this Is only industry In the State.
The favor with which tho nominations Of Harrison
and Morton received in this state seems in no
way abated There has never been time when
Connecticut Republicans wide awake at such
an early stage Of the campaign. The interest IS I'M
precedcnted and will assist the organizations later
A meeting Of the Democratic managers Of the State
held in this city, quietly on Saturday last, and
II was laid down as necessary party policy that
the Administration should do for the workers.
The first result of that meeting the dismissal OF
Postal Route Agent Weed from the Connecticut West
crn road mall service for purely political reasons, as
Mr.. Weed has been acceptable official for sixteen
years, and is not working politician Various
influences have been appealed to to make many
places for good Democrats as they possibly can.
So far the State campaign is concerned 1t IS
conceded that ex-Mayor Buckley, of this city, VIII
be the Republican nominee for Governor, with New
Haven for second place. The friends Of Treas
urer Warner will urge his retention The Democrats
are at sea as to candidate for Governor almost
cvcry prominent Democrat in the State having been
favored with mention 1t Is even said that
Consul General Waller Is anxious to again DO candl
date, but this Is hardly probable. ExLeutenant-
Governor George g. sumner, OF this city, and Con
gresham Granger and Mayor York, OF New Haven,
have thus far developed tie greatest strength. .
The contest for the Republican nomination for
Congress in this district is plainly between cxspeaker
william Edgar Slmonds. OF Canton, and John L.
Ho,ls ton OF Enfield. Either one would make
cellent canvass against Mr.. Vance, with the odds In
favor OF defeating him, when his vote f0r the Mills
bill Is taken into consideration
