 Col.

King said the colonel, "a resi- dent of Connecticut from what I read in the papers. In my judgment Roraback is as good a leader of the party as could be obtained and I don't know anyone who has felt the Roraback axe any heavier than I have. They have a tight machine in Bridgeport and you can't get into it with a jimmy and that's why they are now trying to disrupt the whole state. I move that Mayor Wilson's motion be tabled"
 Amid considerable of an uproar Col. | UI1man finally withdrew his motion to permit of further discussion of Mayor Wilson's.
 | Rogers of Manchester next took the floor, stating that he had no axe to grind but that tACol UNman is in no position to talk because he persists in | delivering the Republican party to the Democrats,'' and that ''the Big Four ! 7I Charles H. Clark of Hartford all de- liberately turn the party over to tho opposition"

 : John T. King never tried to in . f1uence me when I was in the Legis } lature but Roraback did. Ffftee minutes before the vote on Woma 3 Suffrage came up Roraback came me and told me to vote against it.
 At this point Col. U1lman objecte
 but was overruled by the chair.
 Following a speech by Frank Heal!
 attorney general, who stated the will
