 The shower of Monday afternoon | was of unusual severity, although no damage was done in this vicinity of l the Hill, with the exception of burned l out telephones. The house of B. E. Benton, South Willington, was enter l ed by way of telephone and the light l ming played havoc in three rooms and \ it was a marvel that it did not set fire to the house. Mrs. Benton, who was alone, received a nervous shock l but the results were not lasting. It was Thoreau who said, eff you have built castles in the air, your | work need not be lost; the air is ] where they should be- Now put foun- ! dations under them" For years, now, the writer of this column has never 1 failed to see in prospective, her towns l man, William Henry Hall, as govern or of Connecticut, and from time to time has fancied the foundations that were to make of her fancy a fact were assembling, but, although she has not been alone in the hope, the corner stones have been inadequate, but now the forces in the air point to fulfill ment:-To the toH-line-call, that in efficient service made it impossible to locate, asking if this correspondent advocated the nomination of Col. Hall as governor at the coming convention, and if 50 why, the reply: yes, and for every legitimate reason might have been as vague as was the call. Hence it seems that an opinion worth ask ing for is worthy a reply in this col umn that has long been her manifest l medium of expression. It is given with the hope that it may be of value in cementing a substantial founda- | tion to what has been so long in per fecting. The man who lives the Gold l en Rule even to the smallest detail in service to the home community is fitted for the larger environment of the state. Colonel Hall, with his ex- ] actness regarding small duties, is l never trivial nor petty. Years ago it | was said of him on his first entering public life that he gave promise of statesmanship. With experience these qualities have grown finer in quality, in grain. in fiber and in fitness. AS further contribution to the basis is the prophecy that should the nomina- tion go to Colonel Hall there would be but one party in his home town and
 but a small minority party in his l congressional district. That he agrees with Governor Holcomb in placing | the constitution of the state before l any sentiment however popular, is a l strong point in his favor. West Wilmington.
