Of course. Spalla will come TO this

that hc mas it in him To develop in;o

the office of chief executive. Indeed. those who have had the opportunity to see the admirable manner m which he has performed his duties of lieutenant governor, particularly during the last session of the gem eral assembly when he left nothing undone to familiarize himself with every proposition for legislation that was before the two houses, believe he Is eminently qualified to fill the office IL is true he has not that re- markedly intimate knowledge of the public affairs of the state that Mir. Wadhams has, but he is deeply in- terested in the welfare of the state and sympathetic with everything cal euiated 10 promote it. The friends of Mir.

 Talk About Templeton
 The talk that has been heard this week, and which has found it's way into the columns of the newspapers. about the intention of Governor rempleton to run for renomination may be- set down as a political ah- sardity and crude one at that. Governor Templeton has repeatedly said that he did not desire another term in the office of governor. His wish is Co get back to the hardware business in which be has been sue cessful. and to quit the official life ef che state ia which he has not given general satisfaction Besides, he desires more leisure and freedom from public cares to give to those studies hieh will secure for hlm an earned degree from Yale. Governor Tenpleton owes his nomination e Ehe acauiascence of the Republican
 state organization and this fact IS uot contradieted by his subsequent attitude towards it. He had beet. bur comparatively short time in office when he said in a public speech that the trouble with Chairman Rora- back was "he did not boss enough. His later course showed that he was opposed to political hossism. He had right to change his mind T. Is not questioning his motives Co say that his course has not been consistent C 5nsistency IS not. however mental quality that is always meritorous. Ii is quite often the refuge of stupi- dity Governor Templeton may have been too sincere to be consistent. But that is all speculation The only thing certain is that there is ahsolu- tely no sentiment among Republicans for his renomination. If there Is a faetional movement within the Repub- lican party for his renomination it is doomed to failure. Governor Fem pleton will be allowed to retire from the position of chief executive next January with the best wishes of everyone for his personal welfare, that will not, however, be aceompan- | jed with a regret for the severance of his official connection with the state.

 There Is no one more conscious of the weakness of the Democratic posi- ton than the leaders of the Democra- tic party in the state. The cause of the weakness is traceable to the pro- eeedings at the state convention in New Haven al which delegates to the national convention were chosen. At the New Haven convention there was no pretenee to afford an opportunity for the free discussion of matters that were brought before 1t. The gavel did very effectively the work of cutting off debate but in a manner So ruthless as to create feeling of disgust among delegates who felt that they were something more than the automatons of the bosses, and if is believed that d counted vote would have shown that these indepen- dent delegates were in the majority. The course taken by some of the deie- gates at the national convention las revived the grievance created at the state convention. The wound iH- aicted in New Haven was reonened in New York and it is painfully sore at the present time. IL is no wonder that there is a difficulty in finding a person to head the state ticket which will be nominated at Foot Guard Hall In this city September IS. David E. FtzGerald. who was defeated by the weak candidate nominated by the Republicans for governor two years ago. may be asked Co lead the Demo cratic party again this year though at The present time he Is showing no desire for the nomination He may De drafted but fl is not certain that he would respond 10 the draft. He cannot be blamed for not desiring two successive defeats. The Demo cratic leaders would be deisifed | Judge Thoms Of Waterbury would accept the nomination. If Governcf Smith had been nominated at NeF York the judge would have willingly accepted the nomination.
 Bingham For Governor
 Some weeks since t was stated in i this correspondence that the nomi- nation of Colonel Hiram Bingham | for governor, but the Republican tate convention, was more than q probability. It can be now stated | that his nomination ts q ceftalnt% %- l. was then stated that the nomina- ton would come to him by default That statement will bear repetition now. John NJ. Wadhams. the chair man of the state board of finances. and who is thoroughly fitted to be I governor. will do nothing to promote 1 his own candidacy or encourage any ] one to take the initiative in the mat ter and his attitude leaves a clear field for Colonel Bingham. In some respects this is to be regretted. I Colonel Bingham would be stronger 1 before the people of the state as the candidate of the Republican party f i the nomination came to him after q contest But no one in the state, who knows. him, will question that Colonel Bingham is qualified to fill
