 Rather Than Judge KIett
FOR CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION
Hartford Man Invited to Speak Here Despite Objections-Who Will Suc- ceed Landers?-W. c. Fisher and Charles E. Glover Do Not Agree.


 Charles E. Glover Do Not Agree.
 Insurgency has broken out in re- publican ranks and if the plans of some of the local leaders are followed out the candidacy of F. Davis Oakley of Hartford for the congressional nom- ination will be boomed at the outing of the First Ward Republican club at Wiegand's grove next Saturday.
 As 1t is understood by many that Judge George w. Klett of this city is desirous of obtaining the nomina- tion, the undercurrent in favor of Oakley is taken as belligerency by those who are closely allied to Judge Klett.
 1t is stated that Judge Klett's sup porters opposed the plan to invite MT. Oakley to speak at the ward outing because they feared it might strength en his aspirations. Notwithstanding their objections the invitation was sent and it is expected that the Hart ford man will be one of the speakers.
 Through his position as chairman of the republican town committee, Judge K1ett has the inside track in this city, but MT. Oakey's supporters intend to start little instruction and do what they can to give the nomination to the Hartford candidate. It is said that when Judge klett's friends objected to MT. Oakley being invited they were told that the out ing is being arranged by the First Ward club which felt perfectly com- potent to handle the arrangements.
 Judge K1ett has made no formal announcement of his candidacy for the congressional nomination but when he was asked some time ago if there was any truth to the rumor he replied with smile: Well, there may be more truth than poetry to that"
 After Senatorial Nominations.
 The friends of Representative Charles Mueller and Representative Peter Crona are said to be working hard to land the nomination for sem ator for their respective candidates. As the republicans say they are con- fident of success this fall it is be- lieved by them that nomination will be equivalent to an election and with these rosy prospects in view they are redoubling their efforts. Mayor Quigley's name has also been men toned in connection with the nomina- tion. Friends of Councilman Theo- dore Wagner are in the field seeking to secure for him the nomination for representative to succeed either MT. Mueller or MT. Crona in case either of these is successful in getting the senatorial nomination.
 Who Will Succeed Landers?
 There is very little talk pertaining to the fall campaign in the demo- cratic camp. If Senator George M. Landers is a candidate for governor or lieutenant governor it is not be- lieved that he will seek a renomina- tion for senator. In that case it will be up to the democracy to cast about for a man to oppose the republican nominee. The name of ex-Mayor Joseph M. Halloran is being used more or less as possible successor to Senator Landers' toga. Ex-Mayor Halloran served this district for a term previous to the election of Sem ator Landers. Whether he would ac- cept a nomination and get back into political harness again is question.
 Fisher ys. Glover.
 While Willard c. Fisher of Middle town, candidate for the democratic nomination for governor, was talk ing at the Corbin Screw factory We'd nesday, Charles E. Glover, vice presi- dent of the American Hardware cor poration, expressed the opinion that he could not be elected. Professor Fisher talked to a Herald reporter today and said he thought perhaps MT. Glover based his prophecy on the speakers objection to the personal tax Prof Fisher believes the personal tax to be wrong. He says it costs more to collect this tax than it does to collect any other tax and that the people who pay it pay more money for other privileges than what should be considered their share. He favors it's abolition. MT. Glover declines to discuss the matter.
