\ TIP FROM MASSACHC SE1TS

When the Msssa chusetts delega- ton reached Kansas City 1t was not there long before there came tele- gram from Governor Fuller.
 The telegram was pithy. It called attention to the fact that Massachu- setts expected its delegation to vote for Hoover; that Hoover had carried every town and city in the state primaries; that no funny business with respect to other candidates was expected.
 That comes from having state primaries.
 In Connecticut, where there ar. | none, tine delegation belongs to J. Henry Rora back and in spite of the strong Hoover sentiment in the certainly as staunch as in the ton holds out on the people and in- I sists on thinking the President does not mean what he has said. If there Were state primaries Tn
 Connecticut it would rob J. Henry
 l;oraback Of his power and put q
 crimp in the entire Republican ma
 chine.
 We are for the state primaries.
 and the quicker the better.

nomination

presidential nomination: DO Senator Walcott'e friends wish the Connectjeut delegation to antasonize Hoover's boostersp It looks to the outsider as though Connecticut was against Hoover. and especially so when it will be remembered that Senator Walcott, Hoover's right hand man during the World War, was jockeyed into remaining at home during the convention while the others who attended readily fell in line for Coolidge at the self-evident dictation of Mr. Roraback.
 When delegations heretofore wish cd to mark time. without getting in wrong with their home state voters. they trotted out favorite son to yell for. This idea of sticking to the re- nomination of MT. Coolidge seems to be new wrinkle of Mir. Rora backs to bcfuddle the Republican voters of Connecticut.
 The question asked at Kansas City, and by independent voters with Re publican leanngs in Connecticut, will have to go unanswered, but the action of the Connecticut delegates will be q topic of discussion for some time.

4 question frequently asked k,
 ''Does the Connecticut d' legation
 represent the rank and file of the Republican party in Connecticut ''
 When the delegates were elected at Hartford, the question of Presi- dent Coolidge accepting renomina- ton didn't take up much Of the delegates time. Now. under the vatchful eye Of J. Henry Koraback It al., President Coolidges $ re- nomination seems 10 be the wish of he delegates. Would the rank and file of Connecticut Republican sot"fe want those delegates 10 hide bH- hind a forlorn hope? Do Mir. I'll son $ admirers.

THE WOES OF WALL STREET

THE WOES OF WALL STREET
 Wall street. poor old lady, is upset. The wind is blowing 70 hard that she can't keep her skirts down and there is an awful exposure of weaknesses going on.
 Herbert Hoover has not been liked by group Of financiers in Wall street, especially the international bankers. Mir. Hoover also has the hostility of the president of q great railroad who has influence with the New York G. 0. P. and with other elements of the old guard. Wall street also docs not like MT. 1 Hoover beca use he is credited with having a mind and way of his own and will not listen to the dictation Of Wall street. His mind is too active, 1t is said, and Wall street fears he migh do something" if elected President.
 Of course. there have been some other factors in the downward course of the stock market, but the fact that the deluge came on the day when Hooyer's nomination was certain is significant. Wall street recognized it's master.
 Whether Hoover or smith reaches the White House, the occupant will stock market. As for the real bus mess of the nation. that will be as safe and sound as ever.

"WON-T VOTE FOR TlLsOA"

According to a statement credited to Governor Trumbull in Kansas City. the Connecticut delegation to the convention probably VIII not vote for Representative Tilson for yice-president regardless of his chances.
 This. If carried out. will be very poog tactics. strategy and politics.
 It indicates factional fight with in the Republican party among those who are for Tilson and those against him.
 The Roraback clan is against him 10 a man. The wounds of the sena- torial fight when MT. Bingham was named to the Senate instead of MT. Tilson are not yet healed.
 J. Henry is commonly credited with having ditched MT. Tilson at that time. Mir. Tilson has friends and 
 admirers throughout the state and the party and their total probably surpasses the admirers of MT. Rora- back, if there are any outside of the power interests and the inner polltl- cal old guard.
 Mir. Tilson is a species of favoritc son. Yet in spite Of his high stand- ing in Washington, which certainly made of him the logical candidate for the Senate at the time of the vacancy, the Roraback organization insisted that Mir. Bingham, in spite of the fact he was elected to the post of governor, be shunted 10 Washing ton after he had served as governor one day.
 The logical thing vas 10 have kept Mir. Bingham in the governor chair and to have sent Mir. Tilson into the Senate. But the Rora back machine said nay.

25 Kears Ago Today

A Herald reporter was permitted today to glance over the plans for the new power house In Back Rock, and 1t appears that the new struc- ,ure will not be an unattractive one.
 The rainstorm of last night was accomp panied by a strong wind which
 blew down several trees. Fire alarm
 wires were crossed and a false
 alarm sent in.
 Charles Miller called at the city
 clerks office last evening and secur- cd a petition blank whereon he and
 numerous other residents of Arch
 street will draw up petition pro- testing against the famous bologna factory on that street. MT. Muller is a man of fine aesthetic taste and
 has a natural distaste for the odors ,marating from the plant. The residents of the neighborhood may resort to an injunction.
 i A committee of 45 citizens was appointed today by the mayor to
 work with five appointed by the se- ectmen in taking charge of the "Old Home Week" celebration which is i being worked up. Among the com- | mittecmen are A. J. Sloper, J. R..
 Andrews. E. F. Gaffney. Charles J.
 Parker and F. H. Johnston. The railroad has issued new reg 1 ulations regarding the crossing gates in this city The gates at Main and Elm streets have heretofore i been operated 24 hours day, but 1 from now on the gatcnan will be present only from G:30 a. m., to 11:3O D. m. On the Berlin line, where the tenders have stayed only l until the last car has passed, they ! will now observe the above hours.
 which will also be observed at all
 other crossings.
 It is apparent that Frank H. AL ford drove d mighty sharp bargain with Alderman o. r. Curtis in leas- ing the building used as an isolation 1 hospital. He was to receive s1,0Oo
 if case of smallpox broke out there, and one did. Further. when line city tried 10 sell the property, i if was discovered that if had title 10 : only 3 small strip of land about the building. Nobody wanted that. so Mr. Afford has the house back again.

THE CASE OF DAWES

So they are considering Charles G. Dawes as the leading contender for the presidential nomination. All fronts will thus be placated, is the reasoning.
 Being a sterling McNary-Hau9en- i,e. Dawes is expected to please the farmers.
 Being from the west, he will please the west.
 Being a rich banker, he also is ex- pected to please the east.
 Yet what influence has MT. Dawes as vice president shown himself to possess in helping to shape the Presidents policies? The answer is none whatever.
 He started out to reform the rules of the Senate, but even these rules have failed to be reformd.
 Mir. Dawes has been out of harmony completely with the Coolidge, Mel lon or Hoover policies.
 Why should he be considered a good running mate for Hoover?
 When Hoover is nominated his wishes as 10 the running mate may have some influence with the con- vention. or at least the moguls who guide it. There is a chance at this point that Hoover will not choose to l.have Dawes as a running mate. Dawes has been an incongruity in the administration; he has been against Its major policies. He has been a farm bloc man, a spokesman for the westerners against the east erners. Eastern bankers probably like him for no other reason than that they think at heart he is with them and he is merely playing all aslute kind of politics. If that is SC then it is merely additional proof that he is not the best kind of a vice. president.
 ! How Dawes became the vice-prcsi- dential nominee in 1924 is worth considering at thie time. On the first ballot for vice president at Cleveland Lowden got 222 votes. Kenyon 112 ! Burton 139 and Dawes 149.
 On the second ballot Lowden re- ceiNed 779 votes, was chosen as the nominee, but refused to accept tho nomination by telegraph.
 The delegates by this time were anxious to depart for their home: and on the third ballot Dawes go 6Ss 1-e votes, to 334 1-2 for Hoo, CT the administration through Chair man Butler throwing its weight fo Hoover on the third ballot.
 Not much care usually is taken i, selecting 8 vice president candidat' and Dawes was chosen merely to fiji a gap and allow the delegates t' catch trains.
 If little better care IS exercised this year John c. Tilson will b. found to be the logical contender fo the nomination.
