 The Orange town caucus held in the town hall in West Haven last night
 was very quiet affair and resulted in the choice of two delegates favorable to Donald T. Warner for the nomination for governor.
 The caucus organized by electing
 Clarence E. Thompson chairman and
 Harry A. Hall secretary, there being no
 contest on the election to fill either of
 these positions. The attendance was
 about the average for an Orange cau-
 GUS, about 130 being present.
 MT. Thompson is a pronounced War
 ner man and when he was elected
 chairman without contest those who
 pretended to know about political af-
 fairs in the town said that Warner
 delegation was forthcoming. The fol-
 lowing gentlemen were elected tellers:
 George Peck, Fl. F. Wheeler Egbert E.
 Pardee and Charles Loomis.
 l The following gentlemen were then placed in nomination for the position of first delegate on the state delegation: i Samuel c. Bryant, Walter s. Main, ! Charles G. Graham and Charles F. ! Smith. Judge Bryant then made a short speech in which he said that he was in favor, first last and all the time, of the nomina tion of Donald T. Warner for governor. By the dispute now be- ing Waged the republicans of the state were placing offensive weapons in the hands of the democrats that would aid in the defeat of whatever candidate the republicans nominated He said that the defeat of MT. Warner for the nom- ination meant the loss of one and pos sibly two republican congressman in the state.
 An informal ballot was then taken and resulted as follows: Bryant 43, Main 40, Graham 23, Smith IT, The next was a formal ballot and resulted as follows: Main 55, Bryant 4S Gra- ham 19, Smith 13. MT. Graham then withdrew his name in favor of MT. Bry- ant.

Bryants election be made by acclama- ton, but objection was raised by F. w. Skiff A formal ballot was then taken and resulted as follows: Bryant 6S, Main 53, Smith ?. Judge Bryant was declar- ed elected first delegate,
 Walter S. Main refused a nomination for second place on the delegation and Frank c. Woodruff of the upper district was nominated by Elford c. Russell. Charles F. Smith nominated F. P. Clark, but Mr Clark declined the nom- ination MT Woodruff was elected.
 The town is entitled to only two dele gates in the state convention, and these two having been elected, the election of a senatorial delegation was next in or der.
