LILLEY MENACE PRESSED HOME George s, Palmer Writes Let ter to Every Delegate to

 Name Will Be Pre-

MACHINE INVITES DISASTER

George s. Palmer of New London, has sent the following letter to each delegate to the Republican state con vention:
 To the Honorable Delegates to the
 Republican State Convention: Dear Sir:
 The open letter in relation to Mir. Lilley's candidacy which l published on August was based not only upon the report of the congressional com mittee but also largely upon facts ob- tained from eminent republican lead CTS both in Connecticut and out of 1t.
 In substance that letter voiced the opinions of those leaders as to MT. Lilley's unfitness for the high office of governor The letter was not written in a spirit of antagonism to the party managers but as friendly warning before they should make the ire vocable mistake of forcing discred- tied nominee upon the republican voters of the state. The steam roller methods to which they are now rc- sorting show that they will not heed such warnings. Insensitive to the eth. ical aspects of the case they seem obivous of that great moral i'm pulse toward better things in politics which Is spreading with resstles: force over our land-an impulse which an eminent statesman within month has pointed out to me as tnt only salvation of our republican form of government.
 Moreover great maiorities in recen years are binding our party manages to the grave political disaster the, are inviting in supporting such dis credited man. Thousands pf demo crats who voted for Mckinley aut Roosevelt are turning back to .heii own party. IL Is conceded that thu intense industria depression whicl still exists will cost the republican party dear
 Letters pouring into me from al parts of the state prove that sober minded men. men who think. are dc tcrmned that MT Lilley shall not h elected governor. If nominated, mel Land means are at hand to fully inforr the unsuspecting voters of the stat of the full nature of the discredit at tached to this man. The bushes men of the state the great employer of labor, the men of character wh vote but shrink from publicity, tt very men upon whom the republican party counts. win turn their thnkln
