 Not Proper Person for Governor
 During the past six months Mir. Ills ley by his own words and acts has be- come so thoroughly discredited throughout the country, that to put 1t mildly, he should no longer be thought available for such a position. The par ty leaders fully understand this and arc quite free to admit in private that MT. Lilley Is not the proper person to bel come governor of Connecticut, and yet partly because the time Is short to make different political alignments. partly through antagonism to other prominent candidates, and partly-it must with regret be said--because our leaders art not sufficiently sensitive to the moral and political aspects of tho matter, they are standing pat and will force Mir Lilley's nomination unless an aroused public opinion prevents them.
 Attitude of the Press.
 Unfortunately they are strengthened in this position by the tone of por- ton of the Connecticut press, which angered by the fearful condemnation of Mir Lilley by the committee of his cole leagues in congress, have hastily and wrongly assumed that loyalty to tho
