Taking the New london Postnatership

Freeman and Morgan were close churns | years ago; but that was years ago, and | so far as 'he knew the tie that binds may | not have weakened. Then Mir. Murray | said: Why these early entries in the field for the postpfsce? They may be dis tAnced in the first heat. Why this talk about what Freeman may or may not dc |? | Haven't said without reservation that I am to be the next congressman from the Second districtz So what's the use?" And Square Deal Murray meant just what he said.
 There are republieAns whe realize that 1t is not question of office distribution that is of special interest about this time. l They believe it is best to find the tree be- fore seeking the persinmons. Overconf-
 dence is not q winning virtue and there fore the wise heads in the party are de- | vising ways and means of getting out the party vote, with the determination to win.
 That's the proper spirit It has been demonstrated right here in New London this week., when the party nominated for representatives to the legislature such vote-winpinE candidates as former Mayor Ernest E. Rogers and Major Morris B.
 Payne. Suoh nominations will increase
 the chances of Cornelius Costello for the Isenate and Incidentally strengthen the
 whole ticket. That's the kind of politics
 
 dates will work incessantly for the gen.
 ersi success of the party ticket.
 Former Mayor Rogers Is an aeccmnno-
 dating politician and is noted for his masnarnity in stepping aside and letting
 other party men step forward. in the in- terest of party unity. He probably could have been mayor of New London for still another term, but he stepped aside for Mayor Morgan, just because three years previous he stated to Morgan that he
 would not stand in the way of his ambi- 1 tion to be mayor. Thus party row was averted. Rogers In turn was promised by 7 the party management that he would bt given the nomination. for senator two , years ago. Then he was urged to steI l aside to make way for Mfr. Harwood He was then promised that the senatoria , nomination this year would be handed tc [ him. His hands were almost outstretched tt receive the ncu1ination when he was agail | asked to step aside for Conny Costello ) | as it was Grutons' turn for the nofnina I 1 tion Rogers acduiesced and he has beer 3 rewarded with the nomination for repre- s sentative. The city is fortunate in thes , times to get man of the character ant
 treputation of MT. Rogers to accept tn : lnoTniHation. It ought to be pleasure fo every elector in New London to vote fo 2 him.
 2 Tie same ean be sAia 6f Major Payne | as he is a most suitable running mate fo n Rogers, a regular blue ribbon niatche A team and once the race is started out t r win out in a cahter. Major Payne befor 4 the world war was connected with tn v coast artillery. corps of the Connecticu . National guard. He went overseas wit il his coinfnand and returned with a credit ! able record.
