BULKELEY MEN
 IN NEW HAVEN
Senator's Boomers Claim to Have That County Cinched and Talk of Donald I. Warner for Governor.

A coterie of boomers for the candi- dacy of Morgan G. >Bulkeley for the United States Senate appeared in New Haven. yesterday. From what could be gained from their talk 1t Is appar- ent that the. .Bulkeley- Brandegee forces are leaving no stone unturned to se- cure the reelection of U. S. Senator Bulkeley at the coming session Of the Legislature.
 The Bullxeley forces are hard at work in New Haven county to secure the next Legislature. Any man who shows the slightest disposition to fa- vor Bulkeley. as against ex-Governor George F. Mclean for the Senatorship. is now given the hearty handshake by the Bulkeiey workers. There is no doubt that the old time war horse Of Hartford county politics. Senator Bulkeley. is still maintaining his grip.
 One of the arguments that was be- ing talked in his favor by his talent yesterday. was that despite whatever the new national tariff carried in its provisions. it could not be found that 1t had hurt Connecticut business men any.
 Following upon this the Bulkeley men claimed that Donald T. Warner. the present State attorney of Litchfield county. is very likely timber for the next Gubernatorfel candidate. with Governor Weeks secretary, Charles A Goodwin. as Lieutenant Governor. All sight is lost of Governor Weeks. chances by the Bulkeley men. also of Senator D. A. Blakeslee's. ex-Lieuten- ant Governor Lakes and State Sena- tor c. w. Barnum's-the latter espe- cially because of his attitude on the public utilities bill
 In going through New Haven county. which the Bulkeley men claim will be wholly a Bulkeley county, they claim that County Commissioner J. D. Wal fer can have the nomination for the sl1rievalty if he cares to attempt to make 1t again. bearing in mind his de- feat by Sheriff Hugo at the last shriev- alty election Representative Emil I<oos is also a candidate for this office on the Republican side.

United States Senator Lee Slater
when the Senate and House met in
joint session to ballot for a Senator.
Tomorrow both branches of the Legis-
lature will meet to declare the result
of the election. Immediately after the
bal1oting today, the members OF the
House and Senate went by special
train to Chapel Hill to attend the
Robert E. Lee Memorial exercises.
The proceedings OF the House were
considerably more enl1venad yesterday
by reason of the good natured but
none the less parliamentary fight over
the question of the increase of salary
Of the Commissioner of Labor and
Printing. Under the lead of q new
member, Mr.. Gotten, ef Pitt, the Senate
bill carrying twenty-five hundred dol
lars reported tavorably by the House
Committee on Salaries and Fees. was
amended, land i've hundred dollars a
year lopped off by a good majority.
There was but little discussion, and
the play for position was interesting,
especially that of the Republican men,
bers. The advantage gained by hav-
ing the amendment of $4,000 adopted
was lost by these advocates, by falling
between the two stools of the Republi-
can vote, who wanted no increase, and
Democrats who desired the 50, 500.
These two wingsa coming together. the
bill was made q special order for We'd
nesday at twelve o'clock, when it
comes up at ance on roll call on finnal
passage at $4,000.
Several important new bills were in
troduced, among them being one by
Mr.. Cox, Of Wake, providing an in
crease of the salary of the Supreme
Court Marshal; by Mr.. Hinsdale, OF
Wake, amending the law, regulating
employment OF women and child rem
in factories; by Mr.. Morton, of New
Hanover. for the better training of me-
gro youth at school and to provide tor
prisoners in the State penitentiary and
in the county jails and convict camps
during sleeping and eating hours.
Among the bills that passed the
final reading was one to prohibit the
killing of squirrels in Pitt and Wayne
counties from March LIST TO October fst.

A NEW STORY ABOUT GENERAL
ROBERT E. Lee.

A hitherto unpublished story about
Gen. Robert E. Lee is given in the
Manufacturers Record, of January ID,
in an article entitled Rounding Out
Of the Nations Life Through South
ern Development" in the course of
which it is said
cat the close Of the Civil War sew
eral young men, who had served in
the Southern army, SO the Manufac-
turers' Record has recently been told
by one who was in the party, called
on Gen. Robert E. Lee In explaining
the object of their vasit they said to
him:
Your name has carried us into
many places where we did not want
to go. Now we want to take your
name with us where we are going,
and we have come to ask for yDur
autograph on these photographs
General Lee, in reply, said
eff my name has carried you, as
you say, into places into which you
did not want to go, want you to be
careful not to carry it into any place
where I would net want it to go.
Where are you goingy"
zone said he was bound for Mexico
another that he was looking to the
far Southwest, and the others to
distant sections, because they felt
there was no opportunity for them at
caused by the war.
General Lee said 10 them:
LAS soldiers, you served your State
faithfully; you did your duty; you
risked your lives in the service of your
country; but your State needs you to-
day more than it needed you in war.
It has hard problems to settle. It's
business interests have been destroy
ed, and for these very reasons it seems
to me your State has right to ask
you to stand by it in these days of
trial and help to rebuild its fortunes.
Consider whether you do not owe to
your State under these conditions, the
same devotion, the same self-sacrifce
that you gave it at the call of war
eff it had been possible for this
thought of the great Confederate sol
dier to have been carried out, and if
the hundreds of thousands of young,
virile men who left this section with
in a few years after the war and the
two and half million people who
have left it during the past 40 years,
had been able to find a home scope for
their energy, employment for their
talents, whether of brain or muscle.
what mighty difference there would
have been, not only in the South, but
in other sections! The South would
have gained the energy of these peo-
pie and the energy OF the children
born to them, while other sections
which have been enriched by their
work would to that extent have made
less relative progress than they have
made"
