 nomination for the presidency. Many interested republicans-a number of i them gave their names-communi- l cated with the Herald by telephone on the evening of the nomination and expressed anything but pleasure when they learned that Senator Hard ing had carried the day. It was evil . dent that there was considerable dis satisfaction and although this may not be reflected in the vote on elec- ton day ii does exist at this writing. Senator Harding has been referred , to as a man in whom the business interests of the country will have ] sublime confidence. This line of thought iss followed quite closely by New Britain and Hartford delegates who have returned from the conven- tion. It may be true with respect to the rest of the country but the first choice of New Britain's bus who failed to develop any great strength during the struggle for the nomination.
 It will be recalled that Hoover club was formed in this city, the principal members being the guiding
 spirits in every important manufac- turing plant. Whether they will re-
 sent the steam roller tactics fol- lowed at Chicago and show apathy
 during the campaign remains to be
 seen. With a general inclination to

 Boies Penrose, the pale and in- teresting Pennsylvania invalid who bossed the "unbosSed" convention, chose a shrewd man when he select ed John T. to sit at the Chicago end of his telephone wire and execute his plans of strategy. The humorous part of the situation was that the Connecticut delegates were eventual ly forced to eat out of MT. Kings hand, as much as they failed to relish such an experience.
 John T. and J. Henry. rival as- prants for the Connecticut leader ship, do not send postal cards to each other when they go out of town on pleasure trips. J. Henry. succeed cd in knocking the supports out from under the feet of John T. and now controls Connecticut. But who wants control of d single state when he can have virtual control of the nation? and so far as the republican con- vention is concerned that is about what John T. had.
 Of course an effort is being made to give all credit to Rora back for the course taken by Connecticut in I, aping aboard the band wagon. But, after all, wasn't it a case of board ing John T. Kings wagon or stand ing on the curb forever and ever?
 The impression seems to be gen. eral around the city that Mayor Curtis is pretty much of a small pol itizian. and rct q very clever poli- tic>sn al that. People are comment ing freely on his action in dismiss sing George H. Dyson from the chairlmanship of the Board of Health ? nd it is the consensus that it was kschik>3i &hsuRet..
