THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

In William Howard Taft the Ameri-
can people have a good and great pres
ident-one of the greatest the White
House has known. We take pride in
the remembrance that Connecticut gave
convention, and d plurality of 1860 on
election day. He brought to the chief
magistracy a wonderful training and
equipment for it's duties. He has
been a faithful custodian of the con-
stitution. He has given the country
law abiding law enforcing admins
tration. The appointing power has
been to him a sacred trust. Our ex-
pOrters are indebted to him for the
preservation of tariff peace with the
whole trading world He has prepared
the way for needed changes in our own
schedules without the disturbance and
arrangement of business inevitably at
tending what is known as a, general
revision. Thanks chiefly to his tactfuI
but resoIute insistence, the vital part
of the reforms which his predecessor
pleaded in speeches and messages is
now statute law, and the republican
congress has made a record for con
structive work, of abiding value. that
will be a landmark in our legislative
history. At once conservative and pro-
gressive, patient under misrepresenta-
ton and detraction William Howard
Taft has set an example of official
fidelity and pure patriotism to all his
successors in the presidency.
The republican party of Connecticut
mourns the untimely death of Cover
nor George l.. Lillay, whose admins
tration opened on such broad and pa
triotic lines as to win the confidence of
the whole state and silence the tongues
of his detractors. His Exce1Iency.
Frank B. Weeks, upon whom, the sue
cession fell. has maintained the high
standard set by his predecessor and,
refusing to be considered as a. candi-
date before this convention. leaves the
office of governor with a record of high
purpose and faithful fulfllmert that
has brought to him the respect and
gratitude of all his constituents
The progress and prosperity of the
people of Connecticut are the best tes-
timony to the administration of their
affairs by the republican party of the
state. 1t has paid off the old debt of
two and three quarter millions that

He had never fished before, and his
rod was new and shining with re-
splendent varnish. Faultlessly attired,
he was whipping q trout stream when,
by some odd chance, he got a bite.
The fisherman had hooked a nine

He was not playing the fish at all.
With rod held straight ahead he was
slowly and steadily Keeling him in.
How he managed to hold the fish was
beyond me.

TREASURER LIPPiTT.

The friends Of Mr.. Costello Lippitt
or Norwich were pleased to note that
from the day his name was announced
for the republican nomination for state
treasurer. not a voice has been raised
arainst him. His reputation as a
fuancier and the strong backing which

Mr.. GOODWIN UPON THE RESULT

Speaking Of his nomination to a
newspaper man on Wednesday eve
ming, at Hartford, Charles A. Good
win said.
The contest has been fairly fought,
The two sides were very closely match
a. and no stone has been left un-
turned b. either side where a fair adj
vantage might be gained. Mr.. Lake
~ rival whom any man might feel
proud to have defeated. and 1 should
have regarded it as no discredit to
have been defeated BY Mr. Lake. I
look for a united party from this time
on and I feel We shall work together
from this time on for a victory in No
ysnher"
The spirit Of Mr.. Goodwin's remarks
is all right. Tt becomes candidates
who are supposed to stand for princi-
pies not only dear to their hearts but
Of great Importance to the country. to
let bygones be bygones when the pre-
liminary strife is over and pull to-
gether for the triumph Of the policies
which promote national and individual
thrift The republicans who indulge in
factionsl fights have always shown
their ability to put down prejudice
and TO stand united I'm common
cause, and let US hope the year 1910
is not going to mark departure from
this wise and commeudable custom.
40 greater misfortune could befaI
the country than to have the economic
policies OF the government thrown
down at this time.

Rodin Found His Man

Rodin the distinguished sculptor, was
recently made a grand officer Of the
Legion Of Honor. A few days after
ward he was invited to dine with the
president at the E1ysee.
Etiquette here is very strict with re-
gard to the wearing Of decorations.
On the day OF the dinner Rodin real
lied that ne did not know how to put
on his regalia He was not sure
whether the silver badge should be
worn on the right or ON the left on
the coat or on the waistsoat. None
Of the friends whom he had time to
consult could enHgntru him.
When the fatal hour arrived the
great sculptor wrapped his insignia
carefully in paper and trusted TO luck
4 the last moment. On teaching. the
Elytsss ne was regelE ed ~ a uIaghttl-
cent usher ablaze with medals and
ribbons. He knew at once that this
was his man. After q few hui1'ied
words the gorgeous usher was seen by
the other guests decorating the famous
sculptor with the various insignia OF
his order thA- 49, to be worm

Baldwin and Fisher.

Speaking of Professor Fishers opin-
ion of Judge Baldwin that he is a
man of the past and remote in
IDEAS, standards and Judgments it is
fair to ask whether that alleged re-
rnoteness is anything more than the
difference between mature Judgment
and hasty Judgment. The Springfield
Republican thinks there is perhaps "a
little too much disposition at this
time to chuck all the wisdom Of the
past into the scrap heap" 1t also
intimates that If Professor Fisher
knew Professor Baldwin better his ap-
prehensions might be removed--Hart-

Entertaining the Profession.

When criticism wishes to blanket a
fabricator of verses with faint praise
it calls him a poets poet" In the
same way a fictionist who runs chief
ly to technique is likely to be labeled a
''noveIists' novelist" The assumption
in both cases is that the writer is not
for the general public and could hard
Iy be successful with it.
Is the same rule to apply to that
prestidigiator who has just assembled
his fellow practitioners and has aston
ished and mystified them by his mex
plicable "stunts?' Is he to be called a
mere ''magicians' magician, and is his
comparative failure with the general
run of amusement goers to be assumed i?

CONGRESSMAN HIGGINS RENoMl
NATION.

The old Third district republicans
had no opposing candidate to the Hon.
Edwin W. Higgins. who wac nominated
IN Norwich on Thursday for
the fourth time to represent the
district in congress. Tt was no sur
prise that he had no opposition in his
own party. but it would have been a
surprise had any opposition developed,
for no representative has so thoroughly
covered every interest of the district
and accomplished so much for the
people as he in the iivs years he has
represented them ia three congresses.

II there is single interest Con-
gresham Higgins has neglected, cor
porate or individual, The Bulletin is
not aware of it. All of Con gresham
Iliggins' predecessors were friends Of
the old soldiers; and yet, no congress-
man ever attended more faithfully TO
thsir claims or was more successful
in prosecuting them than he.
In the issues in congress Mr.. Hig-
gins has shown an independence Of
spirit and has stood for and in oppo-
sition to his party as the exigency and
bis own conscience dictated.
His five years Of experience have
steadily increased his value to the dis
trict and he was never more deserving
n the fun support of his party than rs
is today.
In the Third district Congressman
Higgins denomination is equivalent to
a reelection. and as a recognition OF
his able services he is entitled to an
increased plurality.
