 Whereas, the business men of the state of Connecticut and the Nauga tuck valley in particular, are Yitdlly interested in the financial and @Spc- cially the tariff policies of the gov ernment. and in the ability and char acter of their representatives in con gross, who are to aid in carrying out those policies; and
 Whereas, the next general assem- bly, of the state will elect some re- publican to a seat in the United States senate for the full term of six years. and the Hon F. J.
