 nomination rather than promotion to
 the senate seems to mat<e the pathway to the senate smooth for Represent-
 alive Daniel M. Crontn. who has senatorial aspirations, MT. Whiton's refusal to be eliminated by a news paper writer, president and manager,
 has cracked the political slate. as it is l believed that there are many repup lfcans who do not consider 1t absolute ! ly necessary to send lawyers to the ! exclusion of all others to represent New London in the state Legislature ! and will therefore give support to MT.

 These four lawyers, Messrs. Kaniksy, Crandall. Congdon and Freeman hap pen to be poss essed Of considerable
