 Senator George F. Bcknell's S friends here cannot understand why the New Haven republican members of the general assembly are not hearty in support of his candidacy for county commissioner. And they don't like it. Heretofore New Haven and Mefiden have always pulled together pretty well in matters political. Now it's diff ferent, and there doesn't seem 10 be any good reason why New Haven should cut loose. Seems as if Colonel Ullman and Colonel Macdonald should get their heads together and give the matter careful consideration There are four New Haven lrpubli- cans in the general assembly and three from Meriden. Seven men can accomplish more when pulling togeth- CT than when divided into four and three. New Haven may in the not far distant future need the help of Meri- den just as Meriden now needs New Havcn's aid. If Mir Bickneil were not fitted for the position to which he as- pires. or New Haven had q candidate of it's own. we could better understand why the four New Haveners would he shy.-Meriden Journal.
