OI' Man Politic abroad in the land and is stalking east, west, north apd south with seven league boots. One of the most interesting andg startling news features of the week was the story by William Quigley that he had been kidnapped by two alleged hirelings of a dark political machine in an effort to prevent him from filing his name for primary nom- ination as a delegate to the state re- publican convention. ~Quigley’s story was vivid, if nothing else, but poli- ans, at least decline to take him seriousl The parties mentioned as his alleged kidnappers see what they believe is the humorous side of the situation and are said to have joked about the whole affair when they met Quigley. * Whether Quigley ever had a chance of being sent to the state contvention is a matter of doubt. Many believed that he would run far behind the rest of the field and the count of the votes proved this assumption to be true. He was far in the ruck when the successful starters came legging it past the judges’ stand. It is generally thought that Quig- ley destroyed whatever chance he might have had to win by claiming that he was the victim of a kidnap- ping part This assertion put him on the outside and when the repub- lican voters went to the primaries %o vote they almost ignored his can- didacy. Mr. Quigley is a young man and, like most youths, lacks that cau- tious spirit that characterizes the vet- eran in politics. He has much to learn and his first lesson should be Politics los high an- own other who aspires to places in politics can afford the members of his Politics is like many fields” of endeavor, and the good sportsman usually wins in the end while the insurgent oftentimes finds himself alone. that no man to New Britain republicans need have no fear that their interests will not be handled well by the delegation which will represent them at the state convention. It is a strong com- mittee, composed of some of New Britain’s finest citizens. No, we won't mention their names because we dis- like to make people feel embarrassed. It can be said that the delegation is probably more representative of the best elements of the party than for many years past. It is featured by men of good business judgment. It is probable that the New Brit- ain mo’rs will not vote for the nomi- nation df Licutenant Governor Wil- son, who is also mayor of Bridgeport, and who wants to be governor. Mr. Wilson had frequently displeased that faction of the repubiican party with which New Britain leaders of = the G. O. P. are aligned and he must suffer the consequences. While noth- ing formal has been said on the sub- ject, it would not be surprising to see the Hardware City representatives favor Speak James F. Walsh of Greenwich who has been running with the crowd instead of trying to stem its progress. Lieutenant Governor Wilson has a hard fight on his hands in his search for promotion.

Many New Britain mgn are inter- ested in the candidacy of Mr. Wilson. He has spoken here a number ' of times and his pleasing personality and forceful speeches have .gained many admirers for him. But New Britain is well organized by the Roraback faction and even friendships would count for little in a fight for the gubernatorial nom_malion. .. If the republican party is victorious this fall in the state election, Senator George W. Klett of this city will probably sit in the lieutenant gover- nor’s chair. He is about the only candidate mentioned for the position and it would not be.surprising to see him land on his feet although it is hazardous to make any predic- tions concerning the republican state convention which gives promise of being an old-fashioned row with lLondon prize ring rules in force. Senator Klett has won many posi- tions of honor in the upper house of the Connecticut legislature. He has been party leader and chairman of the judiciary committee and has enjoyed wide influence. He is re- garded as being strictly “regular” and never jumps over the traces. Partly because of this and partly ‘be- cause his friends feel he would grace the office of lieutenant gover- nor he may be the teammate of the next party candidate for firSt honors. L 4 The nomination of Representative Edward F. Hall to be senator, at the republican primary, has met with favor and it will be necessary for the democrats to put out their strong- est candidate to defeat him. Mr. Hall has served two terms in the house of repredentatives and has an ever widening circle of friends who believe that he will do even betfer in the senate. Mr. Hall is secretary of Lan- Frary & Clark Manufacturing company, having been with that con- cern many years. His name .will - i strengthen the ticket iocally. But if the republicans are not on their guard they may be swept from power in the state. Up in Hartford, the democrats are grooming a man for the gubernatorial nomination, a man who can usually be relied upon though the clouds look dark. His name is Augustine Lonergan and he has served Connecticut faithfully in the House Representatives at Washington. Lonergan was the only demo- crat to be returned to congress when the G. O. P. overturned the country and resumed sway at Washington. And it might be mentioned in pass- ing. that he did-not lack for support in New Britain which gave him" a handsome majority even though he pitted against a New Britain Mayor George A. Quigley. The tisement that Mr. Lonergan ad- administered to Mr. Quigley in this city will go down in political history as one of the surprises of the age. Consequently, if Mr. Lonergan is named to head the -icmocratic ticket, the republicans may well . prepare their cyclone cellars for eventualities because the Hartford man has the winnigz habit. Not only would he pull well throughout the state but there is a possibility that he might carry the local democratic candidates the legislature along té vietory. presidential vear this would be noteworthy acihievement. According to rumor, Mr. Lonergan will not win the democratic nomi- nation without a contest. Thomas J. Spellacy has stepped aside but it is aid that David E.
