 When State Attorney Hull made a motion to Judge Reed for sentence against Dyer, Attorney Morgan, coun- sea for the accused. stated that he had an unusual request to make.

JUSTICE THAYER WOULD
 MAKE STRONG CANDIDATE.
Hartford Post uphoIds Norwich Man
 for Governor,

 Some time ago there was a good deal of talk about the availability of Supreme Court Justice John Hd. Thayer of Norwich as democratic guberna- torial possibility Then it was am nounced that some mysterious they had decided that Justice Thayer would not do. Now the Thayer talk is be- ing revived again all over the state, and many people believe the Norwich man would make strong candidate, tnation of Mir. Healy by the republi- cans. There are many democrats who believe that the nomination by re- publtcans of a man once turned out of ofiice by a governor of his own party, under charges will disgust many re- psfblicans and independent voters and that they would be glad to turn to a citizen of the calibre of Justice Thay- CT. who Is one of the leading citizens of the state. conservative and cautious, but sane. dignitied and of exemplary record.
 Justice Thayer 1t is argued, has many of the same elements of strength as former Governor Baldwin and Gov ernor Holcomb and there are plenty of democrats who believe that his nom- ination would be a fine thing for the party to consider seriously. Justice Thayer has been somewhat aloof from the people, nevertheless he has the re- spect of all citizens and his position as supreme court Justice gives him de- gree of eninence the average eandi- date cannot hope to have. Justice Thayer's term expires early in 1917, when he reaches the age limit of 70 years, and it is believed he might be willing to resign if his party called him unanimously. He can never go higher in the supreme court, and he might feel that to hold the governor ship would be a fitting way to end his public career-H Hartford Post

to develop into a strong team.
Those players who played during
most of the game against Western

told more than once by Coach Nc
Avoy Of the miserable showing they
made and some OF their mistakes in
that contest it is safe to say will not
be repeated in the Haverford game.
The team, as a team. lacked pep"
and spirit that day, and this they
must show on Saturday 1t is pos
sible that several changes will be
made in the varsity lineup to start the
Haverford game, although Coach Nc
Avoy has made no announcement TO
that effect.
Yesterday afternoon despite the in
element weather Coach McAvOy had
the football squad out and put them
through a stiff signal drill. This
afternoon there will be a light prac-

Take one sweet juicy chew of

decision of man who knows;
Il have used AMERICAN NAVY

stems or dirt. l would not be without
it,"
American Navy will give you equal
satisfaction and pleasure.
American Navy is made OF choice,
selected, whole leaf, in clean, sani-
tary factory. The leaf is the same
kind as used in good cigars, but instead
of-.being loose cuttings and clippings,
II is whole long leaf, pressed into plug
form, forcing the sweet, fruity juice
through the entire plug.
That is why American Navy is so
full OF the choicest havor-why every
chew of It is such pleasure.
The pure juice of American Navy
not only pleases the palate but gives
lasting satisfaction and keen enjoy

No matter what tobacco you have
been chewing, you'll never so back TO
it after you once get the delicious
American Navy favor. It's well worth
