POLITICAL POINTERS
May Be Opposiiior 10 Kennedy as Delegate ic Convention.

The contest TOT deleSateS " lne Democratic national convention which is to be held in Denver, Col in July is going to be overfloWing with interest according to local re- ports, Attorney Kennedy. who has been delegate from this district to the national convention the past few years. or in fact since William Jen- nings Bryan first ran for the presl- dency, desires to go to the conven- tion and according to report he IS going to meet with some opposition.
 MT Kennedy wishes to cast his vote for Bryan once more for the nomination. Bryan and Kennedy are synonymous terms in the Nauga- tuck valley. Every time MT Bryan comes to these parts he never falls to visit his never failing friend, the ex-senator from the rubber town, and MT Kennedy treats him royalty. There is an impression in the local democratic machine that Bryan II nominated again will be defeated and there is more than the machine think m this wise.
 Mayor Thoms and Chairmans ot the Democratic Town Committee F. P. Guilfoile favor anyone but Bryan. Governor Johnson of Minnesota or Judge Gray of Delaware would do for both of them, and on that ground it is said that MT Kennedy will meet with good deal of oppo- sotion in his campaign to represent this district in the national con vention.
 Henry o. Wood of the republican town committee is one of the mad- dest men in town and those who know of his state of mind say he has every reason to be. MT Wood sue ceeded Miller c. Haynor on the committee from the third ward and last Saturday MT Haynor asked MT Wood if he might represent him at the meeting of the committee which was to elect officers for the year that evening He told MT Wood, It Is said, that there was no opposl- tion anyway to a reelection of the old staff and it would be a mere matter of form for him to go MT Wood had implicit faith in his pre- iecessor on the committee. Had he any idea that his friend, the chair man of the committee, U. G. Church, was in danger of losing his post he would have declined to give his ere dentials to MT Haynor. Haynor on the other hand belongs to the click In the third ward, the Kelsey Peasley crowd, which would not decline an opportunity, it is said, to overthrow the entire old staff of of ficers. So, believing that all was safe and that the meeting of the committee would be mere matter of form anyway Mir Wood handed over his credentials to MT Haynor
 It is what followed that makes NIT Wood very mad Instead of every thing being fair for Chairman Church. he came very near to going under. One of the third ward crowd nominated Attorney A. P. Hayes for chairman and when he declined the nomination for chairman it was switched off to another which shows there had been a plot laid to de throne Mr Church. When the vote was cast it stood : to for MT Church. everybody admits that three of the four negatives came from the third ward, that is, that Nil Haynor cast his vote against the ia. vorite of the man whose credentials entitled him to a seat in the com mittee, notwithstanding, what he had stated to him. But where dNl the fourth negative come from That is not bothering Mir. Wood al all, however He is only sorry that he gave his credentials away, and that he was not on the ground to vote for his friend. Church.
