MAY BE GOVERNOR KNIGHT

From the interview with MT. J. Henry Roraback, chairman of the republican state committee, printed on the first page of The News this week, it may be difficult to glean hint as to who, in his opinion. is the candidate most likely to capture the republican nomination for governor. Of all the party leaders, the chairman of the state committee is popularly supposed to have the most accurate advance knowledge concerning the political probabilities, and as a rule, the chairman is generally a gentleman gifted with the rare faculty of either conveying the impression that he is the most ignorant man in his party, so far as such advance knowledge is concerned, or that he Is an adept in the art of making his language conceal his thoughts. And J. Henry has acquired that fine faculty through the training of experience. He comedies the re-nomina- nation of Governor Baldwin, and he comedies, also, Governor Baldwin's de- feat. This advance knowledge with re- gard to the plans and prospects of his friends the enemy, to whose secret councils he must necessarily be more or less a stranger. naturally pre-supposes a more or less adequate notion of the out look in his own party, especially in view of his present official relationship to that party. However, from sources less secretive, certain political writers appar- ently acquire information of special in terest to the people of Lltchfeld county, and especially this corner of it. From these writers it seems that the guberna- torial lightning is flashing brilliantly oyer the town of Salisbury, and IS likely to strike close to our good neighbor, Dr. George H. Knight, present representa-. tive from that town. A. F. Howe, the Connecticut representative of the New York Herald, says:
 ''The sifting process has now reached

What the Other Fellows Say.

If the policemen of New York want to chip in and raise fund to help one of their superior officers defend himself against the charge of murder against him, why should they be criticised or accused of being members of "the system" If cops do not stick by their fellow cops while they have faith in them, who will? Waterbury Republican.
 The general understanding is that criminal associations break down a mans regard for his personal appearance; that the gang cares nothing for dress, dress their hair carelessly and neglect their at tire generally. But so far as one can judge of the New York gang from the pictures of them printed in the newspa- pers they go in for just the opposite things. They are jealous of their appear ancc and dotc on their vanities. They study the fashions, and they are the fash ions of Fifth avenue, not those of Avenue A.-NewHaven Journal-Courier.
 Chairman Comstock of the Democratic central committee is prompt-and tart in replying to the hidcOus charge of eX- Judge Mathewson that he worked with I. Henry Roraback in a "COmmon cause" MT. Comstock insists that the only time he worked with MT. Roraback was in an uncommon cause. the same being the hoisting of the judge out of his seat on the New Haven bench over into the ranks of the Bull Moose cohort.-Hart- ford Times

the stage where the finger of selection seems to point unhesitatlngly at Dr. George H. Knight, of Salisbury, as the man to lead his party against Simeon E. Baldwin this fall.
 1t can be stated as a fact that pr. Knight has said within a day or two that he is ready to make the fight. But, , he added plaintively, I haven't any money And it is a fact that Dr. Knight has been so busy taking money out of his own pocket and putting it into other persons pockets that he is not endowed with the wherewithal to make cam palgn fund of huge proportions.
 Mention should be made of Dr. Knights excellent work as head of the Board for the establishment of tuber- culOsis homes. His membership on this commission has made him widely known throughout the state, and he has gained thousands of friends by his unselfish devotion to those suffering from tuber- culOsis.
 ''Dr. Knight would be the candidate of no faction. Although he has taken sides in the bitter factional encounters of the last few years which have marked the passing of the Bulkeley regime, he has engendered no bitterness. Many of the old Bulkeley guard are openly favor able to his candidacy, not excepting that stalwart, United States Marshal Sidney E. Hawley."
 The Hartford correspondent of the democratic New Haven Sunday Union, himself democrat as we'll as thorough ly informed political writer, had thls to say in last Sundays issue:
 "There is no doubt that the Republi- can machine is inclined to favor the candidacy of Dr. George H. Knight of Lakevllle for the nomination for gov ernor The only thing absolutely un- certain about the matter is the doctor s disposition towards the movement to bring about his nomination. It is be- lieved that Chairman Roraback is friendly to it. Both are strong personal friends and they are residents of the same county, that of Litchfield. Be- sides, the doctor enjoys a degree of popularity which is second to none. He has earned this popularity by his efficient public service as we'll as by his personal manners.

J. Bryan and an "origlnaP' Wilson man.

Pointing to group of children among the crowds that surged about his car, at Elkhart, Ind, the other day, Colonel Roosevelt said "Those little moose will grow up some day" Thus the plural of moose seems to have been established by competent authority. It is-or they are moose just moose thus, one moose, two moose, three moose, ten thousand moose, or as many moose as necessary the more the mooser. Later-it's all off again and the plural IS still up in the air. Other newspapers, recording the same incident, state that the Colonel said: "Those little mooses will grow up some day and be big mooses." Now which way did he say it? And what is the plural of moose ?]
