NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, .1916. [OLCOMB LANDSLIDE ENDS || G.0.P. STATE CONVENTION B s e + man Despairs of Naming Healy and Fairfield Coun- ty Swings to Governor, Bringing State Around to Nomination By Acclama- tion. New Haven, Sept. 7.—For the first joe in recent history of the republi- n perty in this state yesterday aft- oon at the conwvention here it re- pminated a governor, Hon, Marcus Holcomb. Governor Holcomb was actically unanimously chosen on the h beldlot, after the convention had plloted from about 1 o'clock in the orning until 4 in the afternoon with- b vecess, and seemed to be in hope- ss.deadlock. There seemed no possi- ty of breaking the deadlock and fouring the necessary number for a hoice, 291, though Healy, of the three didates, led with 195 votes. Gov- nor Holcomb followed with 186, and lakeslee brought up in the rear with P6. Though no official count was ade on the fifth ballot, Colonel Ull- han moving to make it unanimous for olcomb be: the count was taken, e governor would have gained prob- bly 50 votes, bringing his vote up to 6, which would have brought him hto the lead. The break in the tenso deadlock at existed came almost like a light- ing bolt, and much excitement pre- jailed at the guick turn in the tide f battle. When National Commit- bemen King announced his vote for fiolcomb the excitement started for presaged a new phase in the situa- on. When Colonel Ullman moved to lave Governor Holcomb’s nomination hade unanimous the thunderbolt hit th full effect and the situation that nsued for the next few minutes was ne seldom witnessed at & convention p this city. King Starts Avalanche. John T. King, leader of I “olonel Isaac M. # New Haven can take considerable redit focr the dramatic coup which ve the choice to the present gov- hor. It had all along been expected the decision of Fairfield county lehen it swung away from its persist- nt ce, Clifford B. Wilson, would rov crucial point in the balloting, & when on the fifth ballot, following jons that, King would swing \tes on the fourth, he per- onally declared s chotce for Hol- Lomb loud applause greeted the an- ouncement. When the chairman of he New Haven delegation which had Lupported Healy on £fhe first four bal- ots, announced that be wished to have second roil call of the New Haven lelegates to register them for Fol- omb, several small owns in the coun- on’t Be a Slave To Your Nerves Good Advice To Nervous People.

Little Enthusiasm at Convention, The convention was singularly de- void of enthusiasm, but it broke loose when in the silence of anticipation which fell over the noisy hall at the call of the Fairfleld delegation on the fifth ballot, King answered “Hol- comb.” Delegates Become Restless. The balloting which began at about 10:80 o’clock proceeded without in- terruption to the fifth, when decided restlessness became apparent among the delegates. They were coming no nearer to the conclusion of the vote. lee was still third in the rac on’s vote had decreased to si five vote g trength ad been thrown elsewhere, and one vote had been registered for Frank B. Weeks by a del , and to all ap- { pearances the deadlo looked likely to continue unless some sudden break appeared and it e in the fifth from John T. K At the con- clusion of the roll call on the fifth ballot,sbefore the tellers had a chance to count the vote, Colonel Ullman arose and asked that, inasmuch as Governor Holcomb was in the lead, a vote of the convention be cast for him as a nominee. Chairman Brandegee ruled that this vote was not in order. Labor Commissioner Hyde, an ardent Healy worker, asked that unanimous consent be given for a vote on the Ullman motion. Chair- man Brandegee ruled that he could not recognize anything but the roll call of the New Haven delegation, Colonel Ullman said he was author- ized by the New Haven delegation to cast its second ballot for Marcus H. Holcomb, striking out its previous ballot. The previous roll was then recalled and the New Haven delegation shifted to the Holcomb column. In quick orders the towns fell in line, and after the applause engendered by the New Haven delegation’s action had died down, Orange asked to reglster its vote for Holcomb., Then followed in quick order the same action by Derby, Suffield, Pomfret, Meriden, New Lon- don and Glastonbury. Then Colonel Ullman moved that, as there was an undoubted majority for Holcomb, that he be made the unanimous choice of the convention. This was done and Holcomb was officially nominated. Burnes Not Candidate. After the nomination of Governor Holcomb had been made, General H. C. Dwight, of Hartford, moved that the present state officers be remom- inated by acclamation and the names of the present officers were placed be- fore the convention. John T. King, of Bridgeport asked for the with- drawal of Secretary Burnes’ name, saying that Mr. Burnes was mot a candidate for re-election. He moved that Lieutenant-Governor Wilson be nominated by acclamation. At this point i1t was moved that a committea of two, which subsequently was made to consist of Charles F. Brooker, the original Holcomb man of Amnsonia, and Morgan G. Bulkeley, of Hartford, the Hartford county leader, be named to notify Governor Holcomb of his nomination. They found him not far away, for it was said he had been on the convention floor a short time be- fore, and brought him to the hall. The nomination for secretary of state was then made by Harry Sher- wood, of Westport, who named Fred- eric M. Salmon, of the same town. Mr. Salmon is a member of theistate prison board. John T. King sald that Fairfleld. county should receive recognition or the ticket, hecause of its increased population, but Colonel Ullman pro- tested that New Haven county is the largest county In the state, and that Fairflell county hed two splaces-on the ticket two years ago. He said: “I ask you if WNew Haven is not entitled to one place on | the ticket?” and cries of *Yes, it 1s,” | came from several delegates in the vicinity of the Fairfield delegation. Colonel TUllman then nominated Frederick L. Perry, whose nomination was seconded by Omar W. Platt of Milford. Mr. King withdrew the nom- ination of Mr. Saimon, and Mr. Per- Ty was nominated by acclamation. Morris Webster was next nominated for controller, and the names of pres- idential electors were presented. Colo- nel Ullman presented the name of Professor Hiram Bingham of Yale, who had been one of the delegates-at- i large to the Chicago convention. The others nominated were Willam Park, of Btafford and Thomas I». Watson, of Bridgeport. Frank A. Hagarty of Hartford, was nominated but declined to serve. Iiucius C, Whiton, of New London, was the last nominated and it was voted that the other three electors be chosen by the state central committee. Connecticut is entitled to 2 tote) of seven. To those Without their Piece of Land O you realize the position you occupy in Life? Can you comprehend the meaning of Land-Owner- ship? Are you taking a real interest in your own .. welfare, as well as that of your own country? pap it be said of you, that representation without taxation is just? Do you realize that 2 per cent. of the people of the United States own 60 per cent. of its wealth? 33 per cent. of the people own 35 per cent., and that 65 per cent. own only 5 per cent. of the country? Do you belong to the latter class? What a terrible condition to contemplate! Do you know that man without land is a mob, and that land without man, is a wilderness? The reason for this condition is not the lack of op- portunities, but because you fail to embrace opportunity when it presents itself. The 65 per cent. that own only 5 per cent. of the coun- try, are dreamers of some kind. Whatever their dreams may be, it is a well known fact that a cessation of the 'busl_ness of the country for 30 days, would make them efficient candidates for the soup and poor houses? The slightest stagnation in business produces its pro-rata an- nually who depend upon the charity of friends or public institutions for food, clothing and shelter. My advice to you people is that you make a real home on earth first. Here you live and must live, until you pass into the Great Beyond. You move from house to house, flat to flat, each year. You are at the mercy of the land- lord all the time; if he chooses he can put you in the street, and the police will put you in the lockup. Both the land- lord and the police can chase you off the streets, and out of jail to the work-house or .the open sea, outside the three-mile limit. This is the domain for the non-land owner to which you have uniimited title, but as extreme- ly inaccessible and uninhabitable. MAKE these remarks so broad that it is impossible for you to misunderstand me. I want to bring the Message of Private-Ownership-in-Land, so strong, that you will come to this sale and listen to what I have to say about that which I am going to sell. Remem- ber, it is only the “humanity-instinct” and Your Money, that makes the land-owner tolerate your habitation of his property. Legally he has a perfect right to all these things men- tioned. But remember that people livinb on the pave- ments and in tenements in the large cities are apt to de- generate. Man can no more live apart from land, than can a tree, The ownership of even a small plot of ground steadies life, lends balance to existence and is a Bond for good behavior. The reason people have not more land, is be- cause they do not want it. Fresh air and sunlight are free; but the average individual does not know it, and would not use land, if it were given to him. There is a very large class of people, to whom land and a home, would be a positive Paradise. They are forced into flats and-tenements simply on account of present eco- nomic conditions. Land to a great extent is monopolized and held by men who neither improve it themselves nor allow others to do so. They hold it awaiting a rise. This anticipated increase in value is not on account of anything they may do, but rather from the enterprise, thrift and multiplication of Mankind. Opportunity comes sometimes disguised and sur- rounded by hard work and adverse circumstances. Truth- fulness dees not alone consist in telling the Truth but more often in doing it. The following is an extract frem a letter I received, dated August 29th, 1916, from a purchaser at my last Auction Sale in Staten Island on August 24-25-26. In making his final deposit by mail he concludes his letter as follows:— “Permit me Mr. Baker, to express my esteem of your fair dealing; you have particularly impressed me as a man of word—rather exceptional among Auctioneers. I wish you success which no doubt will be your inevitable reward.” (Name and address upon application; many others.) I want the confidence of the People of New Britain and everywhere, for the simple reason that I merit it. The gentleman wno wrote the above, evidently came to my sale with apprehension, but found me on the “dead level” and appreciated the “SQUARE DEAL” I gave him, just as thousands of others in my 20 years’ land selling have appreciated it, and just as you will appreciate it if you attend this sale.
