PERSONALS.

The only Democrat in the present Con-
necticut Congressional delegation, Represen-
tative Washington F. Wilcox, of the New
Haven District, returned to Washington
Thursday after ten days visit to
the Nutmeg State, where he went to attend
to private business and to rest. Mr. Wilcox is
well tanned after his outing, and is happy in the
knowledge that there is no opposition to his re-
nomination. He is hard worker, and has looked
carefully after the interests of his constituents
since coming to Washington. Mr.. Wilcox
thinks large Democratic gains will be made in
the State this fall the tariff issue. He is pre-
pared to see the Connecticut delegation in the
next House changed back to what it was in the
Fiftieth Congress-three Democrats and one Re-
publican. If Ex-Governor Waller consents to
run in the Third District now represented by
Mr.. Russell, solid quartette of Democrats
would probably be elected. The Democrats are
also confident of electing their Governor and
very hopeful of the Legislature.
