MAY DROP LILLEY.
If Chamberlain is Nominated Water
bury Man Has Poor Show.

y
There is likely to be some opposition
to Mr. Chamberlain from over Water
bury way on the part of those who are
aMectionately interested in the canvass
Of Mr. Lilley for congressman-at-large
says a. New Haven writer i'm the Hart
ford Times Ii the nomination should
go to Mr. Chamberlain, which would or
course mean New Haven county NOM
nation, those who have been pinning
their faith to the Lilley flag might just
as well take out the pins and put the
Lilley boom away to rest for another
two years-or more. 1t would be ar
gued by those broad-minded repubI-
cans, that element that doesn't want to
see all the plums drop into one lap,
that it would be very unwise to give
everything to New Haven county.
What they would mean by this would
be that If the first place on the state
ticket should go to New Haven county
that county should be satisfied-yes,
must be satisfed-with that prize and
not try to reach out for the congress
.nan-at-large, too. BY the way, it was
reported here to-day that when Mr. Lii
ley read that Mr. Frisbie of Hartford
had announced himself as candidate
| for ngressman-at-large, he Thought
| then that there was more Lnah Ofuiudfy
| political significance to it, and it wor-
ried him, It was published in the
| Times not long ago that up Hartford
way there was liable to turn up some
| thing that would eventually worry Mr.
| Lil1ey, philosopher that he is neverthe-
less. 1t must In Justice to Mr. Liiley
be said that there isn't a much finer
fellow in Connecticut, and that his NOM
ination would mean pleasure to host
of warm friends. There was another
thing about the Liliey campaign that
has been troubling the republican lead
ers. although they wouldn't hint Of II
i to Mr. Lilley.s That is his former cons
| Iection with the beef trust. Republic
| cans who are always looking for the
main chance for their party and who
can see storm signals a long distance
away have been specializing for weeks
on how to get around that Swift beef
trust objection that has been briefly
alluded to in the I4illey campaign.
They see way out Of the dilemma
now, providing Mr. Chamberlain should
get the nomination. for governor, for
that is about all New Haven county
ooulz ask from the party leaders this

JUDGE CoWELL TO TRY IT
VIII Raise Beef for the Market and
Smite the Trusts.

Will Raise Beef for the Market and
Smite the Trusts.
Judge Cowell of the district court
is going into the business of raising
beef, to form combination against
the beef trust. He sees a great OPP
portunity for making a lot of money
in opposing the trust, and that he will
be able to put up big battle he has
every confidence, Judge Cowell has
"a big farm in Marlborough, Mass,
which hitherto has been to him mere
Iy a toy. Some time ago he invested
a few hundred dollars in small ele-
plant which he bought from small
circus that was in hard luck in the viz
entity of the farm. The elephant was
first class at pulling down fences and
soaring small boys from the orchards,
but otherwise was not worth its price.
After soaring the life out of half the
neighborhood, the judge sold the ele-
plant at a great financial loss, but
otherwise big gain in popularity and
the people of Marlborough tried to
ALLEVIATE his affections from the Brass
City on a promise Of sending him to
congress. But this had no enchant-
ments for the judge.
The idea of opposing the beef trust
came to the judge from the controversy
in the Democrat between "A Retired
Butcher and "A, e. b." One of them
said the greatest foe to the beef trust
was the individual raiser of beef and
he suggested that If everyone who was
| able would oppose the trust its finish
would soon appear on the horizon of
Wall street With this idea, then, the
judge added to the stock on his farm,
which since the departure of the ele-
plant consisted Of about twenty head
OF cattle. Now it amounts to about
fifty. New barns and cattle sheds
have been built and all other accom-
modatiens for growing stock have
been built. Judge Cowell is q republi-
can OF the deepest dye, but he has No
sympathy with corporation that
prospers upon its tariffs on the poor
mans table.
