ton of Yale college Letters have been
sent to graduates all over the country,

Thomas A. Thatcher have been espe-

for that position, of any candidate yet
named and there are many, is Judge
William X. Townsend, of New Haven,
the brilliant lawyer the able jurist, the
distinguished graduate of Yale. His
profound and mastery opinion as
Judge of the circuit court of the United
