 L. A. Wolfe, president of the l.. A. ". Acceptance Corporation of this city, stated yesterday that land ad- joining the Morse mill.

 The land and tenement houses, for which the purchaser Is reported to have paid Si4o, ,00u, were acquired from Edward Padding and B. Dexter Aldrich, both of Providence, who bought the real estate in question from the Nightingale Morse Mills Inc. T few weeks ago.

Hartford, Sept. 25: If the people of the four northeastern counties, which make up the Second Congress sional district, desire to have the Republican nomination for governor go to their district next year they should support the candidacy of Major John Buckley of the town of Union. The major has not said he is a candi- date but, there is quite a strong senti- ment-and it is growing-for his nomination at the next convention He has youth, courage, high intelli- gence and infiexible integrity. He is known for his downright candor which he practices, sometimes to a degree that seems imprudent. But oandor always pays and whether 1t does or not it is an essential attribute of reliable character It is doubtful if there is any person in the state who would more sincerely rejoice in Major Buekley's nomination than his vener able official chief, ex-Governor Mar GUS H. Holeomb, under whom Major Buckley served the state, and the na- ton too, during the trying period of the World War.
 Chairman Rorabaek Neutral
 It is not likely that Chairman Rora- back will identify himself with the aspirations of any candidate for the nomination for governor but he would welcome the nomination of his friend and fellow worker at Republican head quarters, Major Buckley. with a great deal of complacence. The two have been together in many a campaign
 .4H haas srHa sfaI agreed on details, they have been in general accord on the methods to be employed to bring success to the Re publican state ticket. The chairman knows the majors worth and his re- liability. This is not saying that Mr. Rorabaek. if be departs from his at- titude of neutrality will be with the major for the Republican nomination for governor, but it means that Mr. Roraback will be well satisfied with the result of the convention if Major Buckley heads the state ticket
 The speech of Senator James W. Wadsworth, of New ! ork state, at the outing at Compounee last Satur- day, under the auspices of the Third Ward Republican club of New Brit ain. was not a keynote speech in the
 
 technical sense. l. would perhaps, be considered an infringement on the prerogative of the chairman of the Republican state convention in the spring of next year, to accept it as the keynote for the campaign of 1924. It was a singularly able speech and it rang true to the higher ideals of the Republican party IL was an exposi- ton of Republication as the ism is best understood The theme of the speech was the Federal constitution and the necessity of protecting 1t from the insidious efforts of some people to make t aa instrument ot tyranny, a menace to the personal liberties of the citizens of the country and danger to the very existence of the Republic. He called attention to the aim of propagandists to change the constitution little by little and to the fact that these propagandists had unlimited funds at their disposal
