All doubt as to where Connecticut republicans stands on the candidates for the presidency was removed yes terday afternoon ct the meeting Of the delegates elected last week to represent the state at the national convention. To unit tfpy were for the Hon. Will Ham II, Taft, even the delegates from those districts which had declined to Vote for instructions pledgng them selves for his nomination. As a result the meeting which was held at the Union League was regular peace fest not even discordant note on the altercation with the United States sem ators arising to disturb 1t.
 Tho meeting was scheduled for 1 o'clock but on account of the late ar rival of some of the delegates It did not open until after o'clock. In the meantime those who had arrived on or before time enjoyed themselves a a luncheon which was down on the pro- gram anyhow so the late ones did not hold up the session to any great de- gree The time at the table was spent principally in discussing the coming convention and the possible attitude of the delegates from the First and Third congressional district which include Hartford and Holland In the First and New London and Windham counties in the Third, when the question of Taft came up. When the meeting opened however the question was quickly settled as those delegates vol- untarily etated that they were out for Taft and that in their opinion the ac- ton of their respective districts was simple one of objection to instructlng the delegaton.
 The presence of Congressman Lilley gave the delegates another topic of conversation, that of the coming guber- material campaign In this state. On account of the unsettled condition of state politics and the fear that there might possibly he some treading on the toes of friends of Lieutenant Governor F. J.

The Bachelors Dream.

Like the fox and the grapes, many
a man hides his loneliness by a pre-
tended contempt for home and mar
riage. This is not always due to lack
OF faith or ~selfishness. but rather lack
of money. 1t is said that an excess o.
money is usually a woman's stronges,
enemy; that it often has power to
make her give up the man she truly
loves for a man who can give her the
Injuries of life.
Deep down in his heart the bachelor
dreams that somewhere In the wide
world she" is waiting for him, II he
only could find and support her
Was there ever a man who was i'm.
