boom, but it didn't last long. Re
publicans of Waterbury, the home
city of Gov Charles A. Templeton,
recently got the idea that the
governor would make a good candi-
date for the vice presidency and his
candidacy for the nomination was
discussed by the town committee and
others of his party. The governor

candidate.
The lack of a contest for the United
States Senate this year will take
some of the roses and sunshine out
of the lives of the politicians of both
major political parties, but it will
give them ample time to devote to
the other interesting bouts which
1924 will produce. There is some
Underwood sentiment among Con-
necticut democrats. but it lacks
leadership, and McAdoo has the pole
and appears likely to keep il.
