MIR. WRIGHT BACK
 FROM CONVENTION
Delegate We'll Satisfied With Resuits.-ias Belief In
 Harding and Coolidge
els How Gonnecticus Turned t Harding When Losgden's Case
 Was Hopeless

Fayette L. Wright of Pomfret, who was delegate to the Republican Ma tional convention at Chicago, return ed on Tuesday, completely satisfied with the results of the convention and confident in the belief that in the choice of Senator Harding as candi- date for the Presidency, the party had selected an excellent man and one who will unite firmly the various fac tions which made the convention of 1920 one of the most exciting in the history of the Republican party.
 The Connecticut delegation at the convention with one exception stood for Lowden until it was evident that the deadlock between the Illinois gov ernof could not be broken, then it was the first to turn towards Harding and rave him the first support that led to the landslide of votes which landed the examination. Only one of the Connecticut delegates stood out against Harding until the end.
 In speaking of the convention on his return, MT. Wright said that it was the general opinion after the first days balloting that none of the lead ing candidates could get the nomina- tion. When the Lowden candidates were released without instructions, and when it was evident that no amount of argument could change the iron-bound determination of the Wood supporters to hold together regardless of conditions, then it was evident that a practically new name must win sup port. It was in this way that Hard ing, given the first support by the Con nectieat delegates, came rapidly and victoriously to the front.
 MT. Wright found the convention excellently conducted. He praised highly the poise of Senator Lodge and was high in his compliments of Mrs. RooSe1 cit Robinson and Miss Alexan- dra Carlisle, both of whom went on record as making practically the best of the many speeches that the dele gates were forced to hear. On the whole, despite the desperate fighting of the many factions, MT. Wright was of the opinion that it was an excellent convention and one whose results will 20 far in solidifying the various sec tioRs of the party, which, he does not feel, could have been completely unit ed nnder any of the so-cailed leading candidates.
 Whle in Chicago, MT. Wright was forced to undergo slight operation for carbuncle, but he recovered rap idly and was able to attend all of the sessions throughout the week.

FRESH AIR CHILDREN COMING JULY 9TH Chance to Give Little Ones Breath of Real Country Air
 and Good Time Many Have Never Seen Wild Flower
 Or Cow

If one has ever lived in 9 city, es- pecially in a city lodging house, even in fairly good locality, then one may realize what summer heat burn ing up from city pavements, waiting many nauseating odors through the open but almost airless window means. Probably there are none in this locality that have experienced the summertime heat in the crowded tene- ment districts, almost unbearable and seemingly uncomfortable. But there are thousands and thousands crowded into the novels and incarcerated in hot brick walls on New Yori East Side. Thousands of these are little children who have never seen a wild flower, a COW, a bit of garden or a corner of blue sky, except up above the house tops through haze of smoke.
 Some years ago the New York Fri bune started a Fresh Air Fund" |" through which activity hundreds of these little ones from the city's crowd ed tenement districts get two weeks outing in the country Three years ago the first attempt was made in this locality to provide places for some of these children 1t was an instantane- ous success, for in Putnam and sur rounding towns homes were thrown open and many of the Tribune's fresh air children were given their first sight of real country. The enjoyment was mutual, for while the little city folks marveled and remarked in their quaint way on all they saw those who gave them the opportunity were delighted in watching the joyous faces and in seeing the physical improvement that only few short days could make. In some instances children won the hearts of those who took them in and several are now permanently residing on farms hereabouts, receiving educa- tious and building up litle bodies to health and strength.
 The children are transported to and from the city by the Tribune's fund and there is not q cent of expense to those who volunteer to take some of them. Those unable to meet the chil- dren at the train may have them brought to their homes. The local committee will see to that. It is plan ned to have the children arrive on July 9th so that the committee is anx- ious to get the names of those willing to take one child or more as soon as possible.
 Mrs. W. J. Bartlett is chairman of the committee which is made up of the following members, each church being represented.
 St. Mary's church-Mrs. c. T. La marche, Mrs. Joseph Gagne; Congre- gational church, Mrs. H. L. Pease, Mrs. s. Nikoloff; Methodist church, Miss Helen Devine, Mrs. Harry Wal len; Episcopal church, Mrs. Russell Bowen, Miss Rachel Miller; Baptist church, Mrs. G. c. s. MacKay, Mrs. Henry Converse.
 Any information will be gladly fur nished by the chairman or any mem Der of the committee. Money will be acceptable to pay. board in homes where people are willing to take chil- dren, but can not afford the extra ex- pense.

Harding Enjoyed
Adventure Off

David Lawrence. veteran. wash
ington newspaper correspondent.
who accompanied Harding on his
trip to the Minnesota state fair this
week. In his story OF the trip said
In part:
"sennto. I5ardinF off .thc front
porch. mingling with the folks In
the crowd. exchanging tests and
telling stories. II ae likubic n por-
rOnallty as has ever leaned over the
rail Of private car.
Ills trip from Marion was inter-
iupted by two-back-platform talks.
Perhaps they should be called con-
vcisations. They weren't speeches
They were not about campaign Is
sues, but about general things like
the wonders of America and the op-
portuuities OF our country, about
rural life. and boyhood rcminis-
ccnccs awakened by the sight OF ru-
raj folks--a sort OF rustic anthol-
ogy.
Anybody travcllnp from Marion
TO 81. Paul with senator Harding on
this his firtt adventure OFF the front
porch, coUldn't but wonder why the
republican managers consented to
Senator HArdingsS modest program
of front porch speeches. These same
managers are hoping that tho effect
Of the Journey on tile Senator him

OF the ncccesity Of making more
trips. He found himself fascihA ed
10y the experience. He didn't intend
to make any speeches or talks en-

against back -platforming, yet the
appeal OF the crowd was irrcsiati-
BILE.
And when senator Harding
comes out and shakes hands and
manages TO have suitable greeting
for everybody, whether the indiH-
dual be the leader OF band or a
farmer or a laborer or a war vct-
erun. the sum total OF his effort
IL ~ good as any campaigner's In
recent ycare.
The republican managers think
this trip Will settle the thiug-that
Harding win make more trips hcre-
after. Of course, the truth is. Som
ator Harding always was a good
campaigner. In other years he has
stnmped the country for the rcpub-
lican ticket and he knows how to
handle crowds.
Fundamentally. the objection to
big campaign trip has been the
necessity OF making numerous
speeches. and Senator. Harding has
bocn firm believer in the idea
OF preparing carefully few ad-
dresses that rouid he distributed to
the newspapers IN advance and ex-
amined deliberately In the editorial
offices of the country. This trip
shows that Hsrdipg can. meet the
folks and make h good impression
and keep his campaign discussions
Tor the larger meetings.
