HELPING AND NOT HURTING THE TICKET

ct may be true course that the Connecticut delegation
failed to give Mr. Tson the support that his long ana me
career urging him upon the convention for the
Presidential nomination. Mr. Tson did not get the nomination.
and with Herbert Hoover definitely nominated il fairly evil
dent that Mr. Tison hopes for nomination were over may
also quite that the general convention performance o.
the Connecticut delegation help to the party as whole
That can hardly be upon the delegates themselves SO
much upon the bad strategy Of leaders hitherto renowned o
the methods of party politics The TACT remains
that Mr. Hoover nominated and Senator Curtis and
in the week followed the convention the general con-
census opinion that both highly acceptable to oppose
any that proposed at Houston AL Smith or no AL smith
If there are any criticisms follow the convention they should
be taken up and locally and should not be made matter
of national discussion.
