 Political column of the Hartford Times: In republican circles in tho county there are three persons named as candidates for the senatorial nomi. nation. One is Robert H. Fisk, who made an efficient member of the house at the session of 1907, and who de. clined to yield to the advice of his friends to be candidate for the assist ant clerkship of the house at the last session. There are a number of re. publican voters who think that the party could not do better than nomi- nate State Treasurer Freeman F. Pat ten for the senatorship. Mr. Patten has legislative experience as Q mem. Der of the house, and his familiarity with the finances of the state, during his two terms in the office of treasur. er, gives him 8 splendid equipment for the senate. MT. Spafford of He. bron Is the third person who is men. tioned as a possible nominee of the republican district convention. It is probable that the democrats of the district will nominate Charles R Pinney of Stafford Springs for tbe senate. He is we'll equipped for the work Of legislator, having served term in the house. The name of Lyman T. Tingier. the clerk of the superior court for Holland county. has also been mentioned for the demo. cratic nomination. Judge Tingier made O valuable memb ber at the last session, and there was no one in the house who was given a more attentive hearing than he secured when he spoke. He was a legislator of con. spicuous ability. There seems to be a unanimous opinion among the demo. crats in favor of the nomination of Mayor George Forster of Rockville for sheriff. The strength of MT. Forster at the polls is unquestioned. He will have opposed to him the present incumbent of the shrievalitv. William B. sprague, who has been in | the public service in one position or another for many years and who has always rendered faithful service.
