LOCAL DELEGATES FAVOR STUDLEY
 FOR GOVERNOR

The undignffied attack made upon Judge SiIas A. Robinson of MiddIetown by the Hartford Courant, has created quite a stir in Republican politics about the State. The sta tement of Judge Robinson, however. that he would not proceedings against it. is accepted as an indication of tn old gent1eman's good Judgment. The contest for the Republican nomination seems to be between Judge Robinson and Judge Studley of New Haven, with Lieuten- ant Blakes1ee and Dr. Knight much in the background.
 The local delegates are favorable to Stud1ey They point out that Stud1ey has always pulled a large vote from his home city and that this would tend to injure the chances of Coy. Baldwin. who they say, got such a big vote from the New Haven town two years ago as to bring about his election. The real reason, however, is that John T. King is back of Studley and the local delegates are first, last and all ways for Kings choice.

Tre open or London.

The greatest of modern French poets. Paul Verlaine, fell instantly un- der the spell of London, even though he came to it as an exile to earn a wretched living as teacher of French.
 E'As a whole."she wrote, 'tit is very unexpected and a hundred times more amusing than Italy or Paris or the banks of the Rhine.' And again: 1.-The docks are wonderfu1-Carthage Tyre. all rolled into one" He dep1or- ed the lack of clean cafes, but never theIess. NO matter, this incredible town is very well, black as a crow and noisy as a duck In VerIaine's view London had no monuments ex- cept the docks. He ignored West minister, the Tower and all the sights. For him they do not seem to have ex- isted.-London Chronicle.

FEW BLANKS FOR DISTRICT WORKERS

Board of Contract and Sup ply Limits Allowance for
 Office of Registrars

Applicati ton blanks for voters who want to "be made" which have here tofore been plentiful at this time of the year when they are needed, are this year a very scarce thing. This would appear to be the fault of the board of registrars, and members of that board are coming in for a good deal of criticism, no little of which is being made by Bull Moosers who are eager to get the blanks. In realty, however, the trouble falls gack on the Board of Contract and Supply. That board by pursuing an economy pro- blanks and as result the board of registrars find it necessary to distrib ute with with discretion.
 Several Bull Moose leaders have made attempts to secure the blanks in order to attend to the matter of getting new voters made at an early date; They were, informed that the the the registrars office because there were not enough of them. The Demo cratic and Republican parties are said to have met with the same difficulty. Asked why there were not enough of the blanks to allow them to be taken away, even in small numbers and with the assurance that they would be re- turned properly filled out the regis trars state that this years appropria-. ton will allow for only a certain num- Der. The same appr opriation has been made in the past years, but the differ ence lies in the fact that the Board of Contract taking a hand in the pur- chasing affairs of the registrars. re- quire that every appropriation be used for. the specific purpose stated. In past years it has been the custom to use surplus money from one appro- priation to cover needed expenditures for other material. where small sums were involved
 The criticism. is being made against the registrars. The Board of Con- tract and Supply, however. is respon- sible for the situation.
