Especial Correspondence to The Putnam Patriot
Hartfard- santemher la.


 Hartford, September i5.
 There is, perhaps. no Republicans in the state Wao are more entkusias- tie for the state ticket, nominated at the Republican convention in New Ha- ven, than John I. V Waon4ms, Of Go= sheH. and the many throu ghout the state who had hoped that the name ot Mr. Waanams would be at the head of the ticket. The unanimous nemiz nation of Hiram Sin gham for gover- nor was tribute Co the personal popularity of the nominee and 8 proof Of the solidarity of the Republican party. As a matter of fact Mir. Mad- hams was never in the iieid for the nomination for governor if he had been nominated, but he did not see@ < and ne positively refused to allow anyone to create an organization to secure the nomination for him. Mir. Naanams did not think that presi- densial year was the time to create a division in the ranks of Connnecti- cut Republicanism. To him the tgi- umph of the party in the state was of more importance than his indi- vidual success. Mir. Wadhams set an example of loyal partisanship which will be remembered to his cred a. He could have easily torn the Repub- lican party asunder in the state by announcing his candidacy and organ izing for it's promotion. but if he had done so. even though he mighL have won out at the convention. he would have left the party mass of discordant clements without cohesion or without mutual respect. The re- suit of the convention was not a triumph for the machine. but a vic tory for political commonsense and for the forebearance of Mir. Wal hams. The ticket is welcomed by the people of the state and the Repuoli. can voters will give 1t the loyal sup port which it deserves. Nor will the support be confined to Republicans
 Republican State Record
 The reference which Hiram Bing- ham has made to state affairs and ths emphasis on them by Congressman Senuyler Merritt in his speech as temporary chairman of the convea ton indicate that in the Republican plan of campaign the importance of state issues will not be overlooked The Republican party has been in power in the state since 1915, per iod of practically ten years. During that time t has been in complete ehlrge of the state government in all its branches and 1t must be held re- sponsible for the results of it's decade of control There is no disposition 70 repudiate the responsibility nor an unwillingness to stand on the record made by the party. The Republican party has had complete charge of the finances of the state during the try-
 Ing war period when the situation de manded an enormous increase in ex penses. Today the state is out of debt. and no one complains of tax atioa burdens. At the last session If the general assembly the state tax on towns was reduced by one half mil

due Oct. 20. the second Nov. %, the third Dee 20, and the fourth and last on Jan. 20, 1925. Official notice of this assessment will go to stockholders in a day or two. Receiver Coffin is further authorized Go collect the as sessment by suit or otherwise.
 That it would be a hopeless and un- wise task for the stockholders of the bank to attempt to reopen the bank, is the assertion contained "a q letter sent Co them by the protective commi- tee of stockholders. three of whom ex- amined the assets and liabilities of the institution by permission Of Mr Me kee. The statement was as follows;
 Protective Committee Reports
 The Protective Committee of the stockholders appointed John B. Byrne. Nathan D. Prince and John r. Car penter to determine the condition of the bank. They examined the sch edule of notes as submitted by the representative of the Comptroller and made report to the Protective Com mittee that in their opinion, based upon the limited examination they were allowed Co make, the defalca- tions together with doubtful and worthless loans amount to such sum thft it will be very unwise for the stockholders to make the venture of taking over the assets of the bank under the method offered or suggest ed by the representative of the Comp troller. especially as there may be further liabilities which have not as yet been disclosed.
 The actual defaloations seem to be greatly in excess of the doubtful and worthless loans. A very con siderable recovery might be realized from the questionable loans, but the defaleations, as reported by the rep resentative of the Comptroller which the committee did not have an ops portunity to examine, are stagger- ing.
 Finding Purehaser Not Practical
 Your committee is informed that the estate of Mir. Gilpatric may be turned over to the bankruptcy court for the benefit of all his creditors in- cluding the bank. The actual value of his estate is problematieal, and we do not believe it practical for the committee Co find a purchaser of hiH estate. subject to the equities of credi- tors, as suggested by the represents tive of the Comptroller.
 Your committee believes that more than s60e, ,0e9 additional funds would be required from the stoekhold- CTS to rehabilitate the bank and put it on satisfactory basis, and many of the stockholders can ill afford to even raise the l00D, assessment re- qnired by the National Bank Act which is inevitable.
 It Is impossible for your commit tee 10 make a reasonably accurate statement of the present condition of the bank other than the statement already submitted by the rspFesenta- tive of the Comptroller which shows an approximate deficiency of S700,- GOO.
 Your committee finds no practical way to reerganize the bank and be- lieves that Il must be iiquidated by the receiver.

Ralph Coolidge Mulligan, the
genial, harmless Bostonese, was
happily encountered by Us in our
stroll through the White House
grounds yesterday a. m.
Ralph Is one of the few men
who can look comfortable in a
new straw hat, but he was wear
ing the same strange kind Of
black and white waistcoat which
we thought the sole property Of
Stoddard Taylor.
Maybe it's the same one, is our
fear, although we did not say as
much to Ralph.
Cap Greenwell,. Of the War
Dept, may be seen riding horses
around bride paths, and some
may wonder why he is not attend
ing to his job of helping our poor
overburdened Gecy. Weeks.
The answer Is that the Can Is
spending his vacation in the d. c.
and the idea for the annual sum-
mer stay-at.home,and-spend-your-
money campaign Is hereby Sug.
gested to the Merchants and
Manufacturers" Association.
Geo. Dorsey was Fostering Ye
Ed yesterday to say that \ GER
tain well-known photographer was
the only one in the D. C. who
photographed the surrender of
Lee. But we wouldn't say any
thing like that-because we like
him too much - about Artie
Leonard.
Brooke Johns, who might Just
as well have fired his press agent
when he got into our fair city,
is back home.
Whenever the board of direc-
tors of the Cap. Traction Co. hear
his name they give one long sigh,
remembering the summer evenings
when Brooke used TO pack the
Chevy Chase cars when he was
out at the lake.
We have heard some vaguY
Pumors from n. Y. about Brooke
and a lady named Miss Ann
Pennington getting engaged or
married. and intend to find out
the truth about It.

what the we'll built closed car will

From a safety standpoint motorists
are beginning to demand speed abil-
fty in their cars even though the time
may not yet be ripe for general use of
such speed. When the modern driver
steps on the gas as a means of avoid
Ing another car he wants definite re-
suits. He likes to feel that If there
comes a time when he must race
against time he can.
1t Is not enough today that a car
be able to accelerate quickly. 1t must
be speedy as well. When you try to
pass car that is going 80 miles an
hour, so as not to collide with one
that is approaching at the same speed.
your motor must be capable Of accel-
Grating to 40 instantly. When cars
travelled at 20 miles an hour. the
average opportunity to get by slow

one must have an excessive amount
of road space, or be able to get by
quickly. One is forced to prefer the
latter owing to highway congestion.
If cars are to travel at higher
speeds new engineering principles
must be adopted. Superchargers.

The thing everybody has to keep in

Tire Repair Kit
As Insurance Is
Recognized Need

When high quality tires Con the best
road in the world) meet up with a
single nail
The chance of puncture is there.
External conditions are infinite and
can never be controlled wholly. Iron
and glass may cut rubber: a. momen-
tary lapse of attention results in alb
normal shocks. No matter how ex-
cellent a tire or tube, a great deal of
tire trouble may descend all at
once
And it's only the frailty of human
nature for vexed motorist to blame
his ofttimes abused tires or tubes,
even though the fault may be his
own.
Consequently it is essential that
every motorist be equipped with a
tube repair kit.
Even though the tube repair kit
is not called upon for use in a year,
the mental satisfaction of knowing
it is available, IS well as the insur-
ance against annoying and often cost
ly delays, more than makes up for
its very nominal cost
