President Rice, as POSTMASTER, called
those present to order at the middle of
the dinner and stated that owing to the
fact that Mr.. Walsh and Mr.. Mitchell
were obliged to catch an early train to
their homes he wished them to say a
few words before they went He then
introduced Senator Walsh, who spoke
briefly. Mr.. Mitchell was next intro
duced and spoke briefly along the same
lines.
AT the conclusion of the repast Toast
master Rice stated that he had received
a telephone message from Henry Rob-
erts, republican candidate for governor,
and that Mr.. Roberts had stated that
he was confined to his home with a cold
and was very sorry that he was unable
to be present.
The following letter from Senator O.
H. Platt was also read,
1t disappoints me very much that /
will be unable to be with the Young
Mems Republican club and its guests at
Colonial Inn to-day.
II had anticipated very great pleas
ure in meeting them, but l am called
by telegram to New York on important
matters which I cannot neglect. There
will be plenty Of others present to
make the occasion enjoyable, but l
thought 1 would like to meet you all
and look upon your faces and read your
determination to do everything in your
power in this campaign to advance the
cause Of republicanism and elect Theo-
dore Roosevelt president, our admirable
state ticket, and re-elect all our con-
gressmen.
Really it is my loss rather than
yours that 1 cannot be with you.
20. H. Platt.''
Congressman E. J. Hill, of Norwalk
spoke briefly. He thought that the
prospects were very bright for the re-
publicans and that they would not only
sweep the state, but the entire coun-
try.
Colonel Rollin S. Woodruff, candidate
for lieutenant-governor was the next
speaker. He said that he thought it
more fitting for candidate to exhibit
himself to the voters than 1t was to
spend long time in talking. He stat
ed that the Young Mems Republican
club could not be regarded as purely
