ASSOCIATION HONORS DELANEY Local Man Is Elected President At Annual Meeting New Britain receivea recognition vesterday when, at the annual meet ing of the Connecticut Postmaste association, Postmaster William F Delaney was elected to the presi- dency of the association, the selection being reccived without a dissenting voice. W. F. DELANEY. The meeting and banquet of the as- the first of its kind ever held in this city, was 2 signal success in cvery respect. Retiring President Philip Troup of New Ilaven presided at the meeting in his usual capable manner, injecting plenty of snap into his remarks. With the appetites of more than fifty members of the association ap- peased with turkey and fixin's, the | meeting settled down to routine mat- ters. President Troup briefly covered the events of the past year and ex- plained the reason for the postpone- ment of the customary summer meet- ing. Secretary Teevan reported that receipts for the year totaled $137 and expenditures were $94, leaving a bal- ance of $43. Flection of Officers. President Troup appointéd a nom- inating committee to bring in a list of officers for the ensuing year con- sisting of Postmasters Callahan of Branford, Cox of Wallingford and folans of Seymour. The committee later presented the names of the fol- lowing officers: President, William ¥. Delaney of New Britain; vice presi- dent, M. Har! Walsh of Middletown: secretary-treasurer, D. T. Teevan of Shelton. President Troup reported inability of Mr. Ellsworth of Washington, D. C., who was to be the principal speak- er to be present on account of pres- sure of sgovernmental business. He also read regrets from Congressman Augustine Lonergan and ex-Congress- man Thomas L. Reilly of Meriden. He reported a telephone message re- ceived several days ago from Post- master M. Harry Walsh of Middle- town who stated that on account of ill health his presence at the meet- ing would be impossible. Mayor Quigley Speaks. Mayor Quigley was the first speak- a reception. He extended to the post- masters a warm ‘welcome, assuring them that he would not connect them 1in any way with the events of last evening. (laughter.) It was the first time, the speaker said he had ever had the oprortunity of addressing such a “hand-picked” bunch of dem- ocrats, but after looking them over he regretted that some of the repub- lican postmasters were forced to leave the association. Observation of the gathering assured him that the | business of the government was be- ing cared for in a very capable man- ner and that, in Postmaster De- i laney, the city has onc of the best { postmasters it has ever had. He be- jlicved the time was near when poli- { tics would be entirely severed from post office affairs. Mayor Quigley eulogized President Wilson, saying that he was deserving of the support of every loyal American, which brought forth applause. President: Troup said that the talk was what he would call a “first class democratic speech.” Civil Servioe Faults. Postmaster John J. Bohl of Stam- democratic vice presi- dent of the association, told how he made his advent into office with the remainder of the members republi- He also gave some very point- iews in regard to the civil ser- vice rules, whereby many appoint- ments are made because students out of school have knowledge at their finger tips, whereas, many men more inclined to hustle and work fall low- er in the tests. He thought this was a matter that should receive the earnest attention of all members of the association. He also believed that politics would he discovered from the postmaster positions in very few years. Postmaster Greene of Bridgeport, the office which has attained such Great success in the past year in its postal savings and money order de- partments, told of conditions in the Park city relative to the post office. The enormous growth of the ' postal savings deposits led many to believe that it was entirely due to the im- mense foreign population.

Applause that lasted minutes, accompanied the acknow- ledgment of the introduction of the new president by the presiding officer and when it abated Postmaster De- laney said that he was proud to have | the postmasters gather in this city far their annual meeting, and in selecting him as their president, he believed that the association had honored the city rather than the recipient of the honor. He thanked the mayor for his attendance at 'the banquet. He said that the threatening crisis which hung over the city for a few hours would be thoroughly eradicated, be- cause “that’s the way Gearge Quigley does things.” The speaker said that he believed the mayor was a good | democrat because the democrats had much to do with his election, more so than some of the republicans. Speal- ing of Georges, Postmaster Delaney said the city had had three of them, the late George Corbin, George M. | Landers and George A. Quigley. The first has been rémoved by death; the second, a republican while in office, had seen the error of his way and had come over on the right side, and he believed that there was yet time to save the present George,—Mayor Quigley. Postmaster Delaney assured { his auditors that Mayor Quigley was mayor of the city, and nobody else, and he wanted the visitors to carry that idea home with them. Retiring President Troup, com- menting on the speech, said there was some doubt in his mind whether Mayor Quigley would came over on the right side or Postmgster Delancy come Quigleyized, Makes a Good Start. Postmaster George Iorster of Rock- ville, made his maiden speech before a postmasters’ convention and ac- duitted himself with glory befitting a halo. He spoke of the manner in which the republican legislators are conducting affairs at the state capital, | characterizing it as *riding rough- shod” over the people. He said that although the republicans believe that it is decreed by divine right that they shall hold office the present post- masters are proving their capabilities in carrying out the work entrusted to them. Postmaster O’'Brien of Waterbury, “the” youngest postmaster in Connec- ticut,” although somewhat bashful, offered congratnlatory remarks. Postmaster Bohl spoke of sugges- tions offered by Postmaster Meaney of Greenwich, whereby each member would prepare a paper on a subject for the betterment of the service, the same to be read at the annual summer outing. Postmaster Meaney proved to be a live wire postmaster, when he pointed out that in his town at present a new federal building is being erected and recently by measuring the dis- tance.from the office to the railroad several be- Yast Siturday in The Fcbruary Furniture Sale.

The final speaker of the day was John Jay Daly, editor of the Herald,; referred to by President Troup asj “ane of the best types of journalists in | America, and a credit to Connecticut.” Mr, Daly gave a very interesting talk, concluding with an original poem. At the conclusion of the meeting, a) vote of thanks was extended to Caterer walsh and Postmaster Delaney for the excellent menu and the capable man- ner in which arrangements were made for the affair.
