Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1909-01-11
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
An Impartial Opinion.

Mr.. Editor: In The Bulletin this time
four years, as per the files, l voiced
the opinion of citizens of the better
class in Hartford of which I know a
few, and hear from many, that not one
city, one block. one business should
have both United States senators from
Connecticut. BY the logic of votes
(Which the wise call Praagmatism)
and I hope by the logic of conscience,
and Judgment, Governor Buckley aft
erwards came to the same conviction
BY two from one spot the state did not
get fairness, nor could it get strength
with one from the great capitalistic
capital, another might well be where
the deep-sea sailors land from every
chine; like Jeffries, Connecticut stands
more four square to all corners with
legs well braced apart.
In that contention against the mega
lomania of a few in Hartford, but for
it's best interests, most Of us had no
favorite candidate. AS I stood in the
lobby, a mere public-spirited citizen,
remember how the voting wavered as
We watched how the veering flaw did
blow
The smoke now North now South.
Then would been a psychologist mo-
ment for Mr.. Hill and his friends to
have discovered his great abilities and
to have put him into the running. By
leader, inside, am assured he could
have had the track.
Perhaps against the capital
of the capitalistic interests of the cap
ital, they would have had to put up
too much effort and too much money.
It Is sometimes harder to scratch than
to snatch-when some other hen has
scratched up the worm.
have Just received a circular, Why
Congressman E. ]. Hill should represent
Connecticut in the U. S. senate. Pre-
sumably the circular had Congressman
Hills imprimatur. The outside print
is of a size to appeal TO grocery clerk
and so Is the grammar and style of the
inside. AS 1 read Representative HIPS
picture, his capable of representing
one-fifth of Connecticut's interests In
the house, to wit, the mercantile bank
ing and business interests. There are
a great many other interests which II
seems to me he does not represent.
should be sorry to see our finer, broad
er, long distance interests unrepresent-
ed in the senate. 1t Is these in which
we are more likely to be unrepresent-
ed. While Senator Bulkelev IS there
for banking, mercantile and business
interests, do not see the need of Sem
ator HILL. If Mr.. Hill will come square
out and say that Senator Brandegee
wastes his time on cards, social pleas
ures good living ana good livers, and
is inattentive to business, we Will hear
him. If we are presented with two
pictures Before Taking" and "After
Taking" I do not have any decided
preference for Lilley. who has got busy
over Brandegee, who has kept still. q
voted for Lilley delegates and the
straight ticket at election0 When il
took Frank Brown and Stiles Judson
those expert swimmers to pull out LII
lev from skating on new ice. 7 don't
suppose It encouraged Brandegee ia

have picked 10 IlEey il couldn't be
expected to pick up two I'm the same
gubernatorial term.
We should be far from telling United
States senators that for the future they
cannot devote themselves tn forward
national interests, but must he looking
behind for stabs in the back and as
