Political Column, Hartford Times:
The democrats of the Thirty fifth
district are preparing to make a
sturdy fight to win the senatorship
next year. The name most prominent
ly mentioned in connection with the
democratic nomination is that of Ohas
B. Pinney of Stafford. Mr.. Pinney
the town of Stafford at the
of 1907. The democrats
were desirous of nominating him for
the senate last year, but he positively
to accept the nomination.
There is no one in the county more
popular than Mr.. Pinney and he is in
every way qualified to represent the
district in the senate. He is a mem.
ber of an old democratic family, who
employ a number of people in their
factory. The most friendly relations
exist between the Pinneys and their
help. They have always been noted
for the kindly consideration which
they show for those employed by
them. There are some who think
that Attorney Thomas F. Noone of
Rockville would be a particularly
strong candidate and they are correct
in their opinion. Senator Noone rep
resented the DISTRICT in the senate at
the session of 1903. Mayor George
Forster of Rockville has been asked
to be a candidate for the nomination
but he has given his friends no en-
couragement that he has aspirations
for senatorial honors. He was one of
the representatives of Vernon at the
last session, his colleague being Mr..
Tingier, one of the Ablest members of
the house. MIR. Forster was held in
the highest esteem and he enj Jyed the
respect of his colleagues on both sides
of the chamber. There is a belief
among the democrats of Tolland
county that Mr.. Forster would make
a strong candidate for sheri If of the
county. .
