Looking through the ultra-Repub- lican lens of its speotacles, the super- Repubfiican Hartford Courant finds solace in the silence of Colonel Norrig G. Osborn of New Haven who is be- ing tempted with the Democratic nom- ination for governor. Our Hartford contemporary gloats over the efforts of democratic newspapers to groom the Colonel greater joy AND THE for the race and finds in noting that the Haven newspaper man 1is emulating the example set by Charles Evans Hughes prior that resignation from the Supreme Court. The silence of the Colonel is becom- ing oppressive, remarks the Courant, and notes. “The longer he puts it off the harder it will be for the disap- pointed, and, 1If any unthinkable change in his policy, he should not put it off at all, then the disappoint- ment will not come until November and he will get it himself.” New to candldate’s by are intelligent hold that worthy in any voters here who if Colonel Osborn, of Courant doubts existence, ordains to for entitled the worthy consideration of the He should not defeated until the votes or Democrat, whom the run office he is to people be at least are counted in regular prescribed order on election day. With of Colonel Osborn’s candidacy it is a case of by ‘his old exclaimed to the oflice boy, “Throw this man out, John, the Courant in contemplation the banker, who, touched college friend, he is breaking my heart.” Someone that Democrats of Connecticut are having \di- date for governor as the Republicans of the for has remarked the s much difficulty in finding a nation found securing one The hope is that when the Democrats do produce their cah- in president didate at the State Convention next week he will not prove as disappoint- ing as Charles E. Hughes. Notice in a factory: “No loafers al- lowed except employes.”—Boston Transcript A good many people think you can't pursue happiness now without an automobile.—Kansas City Journal.

So the a hand in such things, firmly believes Courant, which always has Somebody wrote to a press-clipping that when a Republican state con- vention assembles it not only selects the candidate but it choose governor of this This is the only logical interpretation that can be made of the Courant’s own words. Having assembled in New Haven on the sixth day of Sep- the next commonwealth ? tember, in this year of our Lord, the Republican Sthte sisting of some five hundred delegates, chose Marcus H. Holcomb as the next governor of Connecticut. It was hy the veriest luck that Frank E. Healy asd garner the °* Republican thunder or Dennis A. Blakeslee get the nomtnation. But it matters not who got the nomination, the that it is glven by a Republican con- vention insures a tenure of office for the fortunate recepient. This is the Courants’ way of looking at it. 'In warning Colonel Osborn of the that awatts him in November should he adopt an “unthinkable change in his policy,” the Courant extends ad- vice to an old friend to hold off and not spofl the plans. It likes the Colonel and looks upon him as a can- didate too formidable for the Demo- crats to foist upon an unsuspecting Republicanism. The truth of the matter is: If the Colonel should run, the established Republican order of things may not come true. The Re- publican instead of the Democratic candidate might realize the disap- pointment. And this would never do. For, 18 not Connecticut in the mouth of the Republican party, hook, line and sinker? The Courant thinks so. It belleves the state is owned body and soul by the Republicans. But since when have the people renounced all ownership of state government and placed it in the hands of a con- vention that meets under the banner Convention, con- not mere fact fate of any one political party? However rosy the spectacles of the Courant may picture the political view to those behind the spectacles, and however sad and dreary the picture is made for those on the other side of these same spectacles, we, among others, are not willing to believe that the people in this‘commonwealth have given up the struggle.
