Hartford. June 3. 1924

HHrffOfl. June O. lt-f.
 state Treasurer c. Harold Gill ..tyir is sensible in taking the position iset ii is vet too soon to discuss candi- sae;ee for places on the state ticket. A. inc present time the importance .t the national conventions oyershad- o,ys every thing else in politics. The panubliean national convention will bs held in June and there will be time enough 10 discuss the state ticket ,,ben that adjourns. About three ,,onths will intervene between the sdiournment of the national conven- ion and the opening of the state con yention. A great deal of water will run under the bridge in these three months. Early promises of support are soon forgotten is an axiom Of nolitics which has wisdom that Is at tested by experience. There is not a reason, based on consideration for inc welfare of the state, which can bs urged for change in the incum- bepcy of the office of treasurer, and many reasons could be given to show that in the interests of the state a change would not be desirable. The fact that Mir. Gilpatric will have serv- cd six years at the end of his present term does not furnish an argument in favor of a change. 1t proves that by a hawless record and conspicuous efficiency in the management of the treasurer's office, he enjoys the con. fdenee of the people of the state. He has been in charge of the finances of Connecticut during the most criti. tt ~tnl haafA af the state since the Civil War and 1t IS due to his policies that the state has been able to finance it's activities in the World War and to solve the financial problems which faced the people when the armistice was sign ed. The solution has been a success. In addition to the achievement of this success the state, on the reeommen- dation of Treasurer Gilpatric, has relieved the towns of Connecticut of Q state tax of s500,0o0.
 Fitzgerald For Governor
 There is no longer any doubt that Mayer David F.. Fitzgerald, of New Haven. k in the field for the Demo- cratic nomination for governor. But there IS strong and growing doubt that he will land the nomination. He had his chance two years ago when the Democratic state convention ig- norea the prior claims of Roland U Tyler of Haddam. and nominated Mr Fitzgerald. Two years previous ly in 1920, when all the Democratic leaders. including Mir. Fitzgerald and Gonefessman Lonergan, had refused to acrept the nomination for gover. nor and when 1t looked as if the cleo.
 ton for the office would go by de
 fault Mir Tyler, from his home in
 Hsdiam, accepted the nomination ana led the forlorn hope of the Democrat. Of the state. The Democratic tiekei vas defeated. It was the year of tn, Harding landslide and the Democratic state ticket was overwhelmed by | Republican plurality of over 1000

SHOULD VETERANS PAY7
Tax Problem Is Discussed By Mayor
 and Common Council

Should war veterans. who are en- titled to exemption of taxes up te fixed amount, enjoy this distinction fl they do not apply at the time and iii the way required by law?
 This is the question that was dis. eussed by the mayor and common council at the monthly meeting on Tuesday, when Tax Collector Mac donald presented list of people against whom taxes had been levied which taxes Mir. Macdonald asked to have abated. Included in the list were the names of war veterans whose taxes had been abated by the town and who asked the city to do the same thing. These men did not file the customarv petition. After some discussion the council voted to abate the taxes, but it seemed to be agreed that it would not be done an other year, unless the veterans made the formal lawful request for exemp tion.
 By vote of the council Tax Collee- tor Macdonald and the corporation counsel were empowered to proceed by suit, for the collection of taxes due the city and still remaining un- paid.
 Mayor Chapdelaine presided at the meeting which was attended by all of the aldermen except Mir. Rogers and Mir. Pigeon.
 Mir. and Mrs. c. U. Miller asked for a street light at the junction of Se- nexet road and Woodstock avenue on the ground that the corner is a dangerous one and without a light is a menace to the lives of automobil. ists. The matter was referred to the committee on street lights.
 David Breault of Mill street peti- toned for permission to erect a house on Church street. Leonard A. Rous- seau of Farrows street also asked for 4 permit to build four room bunga- low on Church street. Both petitions were referred to the highway commit. tee.
 The monthly report of the captain of police contained the following facts total arrests 6e; fines and costs. $951.57; cause of arrest, drunken ness, l9; liquor law violation, 5; fre- quenting 40. A total of twenty-two tramps found nieht's lodging at the police station during May.
Putnam patriot., 1924-06-06

Not even the high character of Mir Tyler for the office of chief execu. tive, and his admitted fitness for it. could save the ticket. Two years lat CT when the chances were more favor able to the Democrats 1t was expected that the services which Mir. Tyler had rendered his party in 1920 would be rewarded by a renomination. But Mir. Fitzgerald desired to head the ticket and the claims of Mir Tyler were set aside. The Democrats of the state felt that Mir. Tyler was shabbiiy treated in 1922 and that the treat ment should be redressed this year But the wishes of the Democratic voters as whole-and there are over l50, 1000 of them--are not worthy of consideration when they are op- posed to the aspirations of ambitious leaders,
 Democratic Bossism
 It is now beginning to dawn on the Democrats of the state the reason why the movement for the endorse ment of the candidacy of Governor Smith for the presidency, at the re- cent Democratic state convention, was vigorously and ruthlessly suppressed. The suppression was in the interest of National Committeeman Cummings with McAdoo for second choice. Most of the Smith delegates-andt they rep resented ninety per cent of the con veTrtion-were lulled into acquJes- cence by the statement that 1t would be against the precedents of the h. s..Ns. . struct delegates to the national con- vention. That announcement was not made from the platform but was whispered among the delegates with the assurance that. at heart, the dele gation favored Smith. If there had been a test vote the result would have shown that the sentiment was over whelmingly for Smith. If there was ever bossed convention in the state. at which the delegates were given no opportunity to express their views and where they were looked on as so many automatons to be operated by bosses, 1t was the last Democratic state convention. 1t was a travesty on democracy It is now said that the delegation to the national eonven- tion stands ten for Smith and four fof Cummings. The latter hopes to win over the ten in due season. There is one delegate who. if he is able to attend the convention will not be per. suaded to misrepresent the Democrats of the First District and he is former Mayor Richard J. Kinsella. His first vote will be for Smith and his las, one too if he stays in the contest until fha final haiiaf fe counted
