 No Politics
 The Hartford Post says: "J Henry Roraback and Senator Barnum were in Washington Friday and called on Con- gressman Hill, but veracious cores pondent says there was mo politics in ! the visit" That's an entirely superfiu- ous assurance. For surely no one would think of suspecting politics in the visit of Connecticut politician to a national politician on the breeding grounds of all the politics of the country"
