RORAEACK FOR NATIONAL
 CHAIRMAN

That is interesting political gos- sip, which lines up Chairman Rora- back, of the republican state com mittee and Connecticut member of the national committee, to succeed Will Hays as national chairman; and if the rumor is substantiated it will gratify the state pride and nightly please the many personal friends of J. Henry in both parties-for, re- gardless of differences in respect to partisanship, principles or methods, in and out of his party, it is conceded that J. Henry has a countless host of friends ands admirers who are at tracted to him by his many likable qualities, and who would rejoice to see him elevated to that position of national prominence. The brand of generalship he has displayed in the management of political affairs in his own state has attracted distin- guished attention outside, and Sena- tor Lodge, of Massachusetts, who is not exactly a tyro in the game of politics, is quoted as saying that in his opinion MT. Roraback can do more effective work for his party than any other republican worker in the country.
 Connecticut has not had a national committee chairman since the demo- cratic national committee vas headed by the late Villain H. Barnum, back in the eighties. Barnum hailed from Salisbury, the town adjoining J.. Henry's town, in Litch6eld county the county that has sent forth so many good men and true and was counted an exceptionally sagacious politician in his day and generation.
 Fairfield county furnished secre- tary to the republican national con- mittee, in the person cf the late Samuel Fessenden, of Stamford, who, after the bitter McLean-Warner contest for the governorship nomin- ation, twenty years ago, was forced of the committee and succeeded by that sturdy veteran, Charles F. Brooker, of Ansonia, as Connecticut / member. e .E.. -.s...
