RepaMkaa
There was a bantag excitement alt
this week at to the outeonie of the Re
publican caucus, which met Wcdnes
0»s ui«ht—the Lilley amt Lake ftxm
belntt well organised ami each beaded
by the brightest ami moat influential
young Republicans of the city. The
>|U«ry was. “'■t hat would happen when
both were lined up for the decud it
testing struggle' " Well, nothing but
w hat should make every citizen proud
of the Republican party of this town,
(everything was courteous and eordial
ly pleasant, that would have made a
stranger imagine the crowded gath
ering were working in hearty accord
for a united purpose. And when the
end tame and the contest closed, there
was no way to decide who were the
victors, aud who the defeated.
The caucus was one of the last the
Republicans were to hold in the State,
it was held in Artuory Hull, which
was tilled full, ami before the vote was
counted it was believed the vote would
be the largest ever polled at a canons
in tlie town. However, when the vote j
was counted the estimate fell oil'—|>er
1ih|j» because many were present who
had no vote or refused to vote.
Al s o cluck the gathering was called
to order by Archilmld MacDonald, the
chairman ol the Republican town oom
: mittee, who read the call.
J. F. Carpenter arose, and being re
cognized by the chair, made the state
ment that the representatives of the
Lake and [alley forces had mutually
agreed upon K. li. V\ right to i>e |ht
manent chairman, also that the voting
should be by check list, that there
should la1 no preliminary remarks, and
I that no other motion should lie enter
I tuined until the sole for the Slate con
vention had been declared. These he
I offered as a motion, which was carried.
H.J. Thayer was elected secretary,
and the chair ap|«>inted three tellers.
The voting then commenced, and it
took an hour and tise minutes to |hiII
the whole vote.
The Lake delegates put irt nomina
tion were Messrs. Jerome Tourtellotle,
Silas M. Wheelock, K. L. Kelley and
Philip He noil.
The Lilley delegates were: Messrs
John F. < 'ari>enter,Archibald MacDon
aid. I.. Xorrey and Hector Duvert.
The vote resulted as follows:
Whole nunil>er of votes cast, "s4
Lake delegates recclx ed I T
i.illey delegates. —47
The I.illey delegates were then de
clared elected.
The next delegation to !a‘ elected
were those to the Congressional conven
tion
J. K. (.'nriK'uler put in nomination

A ballot was then taken, of which

Mr. ( arjtenter then staled ttiat it
had Uen agreed tliat the remaining
delegates tie eleeted by acclamation and
pul in nomination the names of Isaac

portant they may be, and (or that nee
son we hardly expected. a law gather

last Friday evening. Ami for another
reason also, the leading clliaens have
been trying to arouse a deeper interest
in the great political contest that is
impending, ami which justly iteniamis

I met your president til tin* Until n
few day s ago, amt lie asked me a few
(jUeslions, Mini then asked me to give
you the answers.
Now, ju»t h word at the start hUhiI
organization names. New Haven hus
IonK had a Chamber of Commerce, and
now Inis also a liusine's Meti s Vssocito
i lint;: Most Connecticut cities have
| either Hoards of Trade or business
j Men s Associations or lailh. W hile
some of these organizations may lie
broader in their aco|a* than others, the
(It (Terences, so far ns I know .are small,
1 and they are all patriotic associations
I designed to further the la*sr interests
| of their res|a*oti\e localities.
The State Hoard is composed of dale*
1 gates from local boards, including Hie
: New lla\en Chanioer of ( omnicrce
nml some ltnsiiiess Men’s Ass jcialinn*.
I The Stale Business Men's \ssoeialion
! is composed of tiie local associations,
mid it also invites Hoards of Trade to
join it.
As my jiersonal ex|>ericneela limited
! to the Norwich Hoard of Trade, 1 shall
| use the name Board of J'> do in my
I talk.
I read with Interest the address of
vour President at tin lir-I meeting af
I ter his election. I though! il covered
; the ground very fully. In it every
thing was said that needed to lx* said,
and it was well said.
: Yon all reinemlier that when the late
i coiner at a meeting asked il everything
I had l*een said ami done, the old lady
teplied that everything hud been said,
i tint nothing had been (lone. Now, all
. I am to do is to give you my opinion ol
what a patriotic local organization
I should do and how they should do it.
j The object of a Hoard ol Trade and
Business Men’s Association Ik tiie fur
thering of tile last interests of tin* com
munity. These tew words mean u \
great deni: The iiest interests of the j
eoumnmilv.
Ho\V < V\ THK1 !»' Tills*
1. I)y encouraging mimiiiaeturing j
industries, new nml old. Tile kit liter j
part of the monev tlial come* into your
town from elsewhere eomes from tile
sale of inanu aclurtd gissl*. The main
stream of incoming money is the jury
roll, ami the money mines from the.
great trade center*. It hints its way '
imek largely through your merchants I
In exchange for those tiling* llial are j
esse ntial to your inmf-it l ami happi- i
ness. \\ in le lilts money i- coining ami ;
lliiinit it helps sup|s>rt all ehi***-*. The j
tel tint in of gissl new lint mines is one j
of the most important iluties of the of.
! gani/allmi and the most dittieult. The 1
work must Is’ attempted with Liter j
| greatest rare. It is l**tler to turn down I
j two gissl industries than to liar sir and

j Ire well done dry the organimation ns a
I whole, hut can best Is done try rijinli
) cions committee w ho can thoroughly
investigate all applicants and do all
they can to aid those that are desirable.
\Vhat is a gissl industry? A gissl
industry i* one that ts rail t>y a man or
men who know how Of course it
must make gissis that are in demand,
it must have capital, but the men who
run it are Ihe main thing. Capital ami
a patent won’t do you any good with
out the brains of the |ieculiar ijualily
I necessary to buy material at the low
: est market price, make the good* at
the least cost .foresee the kind ami style
of good* that will Ire in demand ami
then keep the grssl* sold at a price
yielding a gissl profit including itepre
ciation and renewal of plant. If your
Hoard can bring one new man to Put
| nam eacii year such as the men who
I are now conducting your successful in*
j dustrie*. it will fully justify its exist
ence. Every business and professional
man in Putnam can afiord a due of
five dollars or ten dollars for every
man of that kind brought here. 1 be
lieve this work should Ire done without
publicity. If tire committee find a
gcssi thing,-the !e*« said the belter till
the mailer is settled. If Urey turn

Nothing omitritmtes more ui the popu
larity of the meelinits of a Hoard of
Trade as optimistic report* in loeai pa
ja-rs
The interest ill the Hoard in one of
the largest cities in our state lieeatne so
low that at the llrsl meeting alter the
appointment of a new president there
were present two intrsnn*,thv president
and secretary. they did all the roll
tine business unanimously At the
street disir they lingered talking. A
reporter came, “Oh, by the way, ' said
lie, “Was there a hoard nu-eiing to
night'.*" “To te sure," said the presi
dent, “and a very harmonious meeting
we had bs>. It was great. We diil a
lot of business." And lie went on to
recount il. the rejmrler taking rapid
notes. The next meeting was well at
tended and was reilll.v interesting The
iit-xt was more so, ami the Imard was
on Us legs again and ran well.
i. liit'e organizations (iirnisli (lie

4. We itutsl spend no time on the
'tuestion of what is legal or parliamen

ings is legal where there is no protest

wlooli kickers can ail llieir grievances

the grlev mice instead ol removing it. j
Tcrsonal amt antagonistic remarks are
always nut of order. The cuilivaUnn

one ol tlie most impor tant nlliis s «f the
Hoard. Have rui interesting program,
put it through lively and adjourn.
Then stay aid talk nflcrw an Is as long
Iis you pleaae.
What that isiard really did I will re
ter lo briefly . It appointed a large
number of standing eomiutllee*. There
was a eommlttet ihi every kind at ne
gunUallon work. It was a gloat help,
l-'iral, liecanse every nne had an office,
and we all like that. Second, It was
really some one’s business In do each
thing that could Ire done At the.Ural
meeting a debate on the dealrahiltty of
consolidating our city and tow n gov -
ernments was so entertaining that It
was voted to continue It at a later
meeting. Then there was a Iranspor
tation evening, representative* of all
the trolley road*, steam roads ami
steumb >als lieing gut"*!*, sitting on the
platform amt making a Id losses Much
tally w as imtulged in, lire jie iple had a
chance for |*r*onal aei|uainlance, and
good feeling was engendered. In the
meantime the lrans|K>rtatinn commit
tee arranged privately for two addi
tional trains. At as many meetings as
practicable there ware Intormal recep
tion* for new comer* to the city- Some
tine s they were business men, again it
w as a new pastor, Hi another time a
new official.
At one meeting the local hydraulic
compressed air plant was dcacrrls-d
with the aii| of lantern views py its
promoter. Another meeting was Hd
dressed by Clinton Ungers Woodruff
of the National Munclpal league. An
! educational evening was he'd when we
listened to addresses by Mr. I iced e of
New llaven, Mr. Aldrich of lirookllue,
Mass., and Mr. Keyea of Hartford.
The latter two gentlemen held oppo
site opinions and their wit and humor
was as entertaining as their ideas were
Instructive. *
One evening ttie architects gateau
lllust mled ihseriplion of the new SihU*
Hospital at Norwich. Another eien
ing Health Mini Hanilallon whs llie
subject, Hint addresses were innile by
health officers. There was h tire de
|iartinenl meeting aiblresseii by men
connected with the New York fire <le
partment.
A meatier who had spent riiuehtlme
on the Pad lie coast gate an interest
ing address on ila cities and why tliey
grow. A moot interesting meeting was
spent iii listening to educators from
our own and other cities on the h\e
and growing i|ue*tion of whether we
ought not, in our grammar and high
schools, teach more atsjut commerce
and trades, and less of those su<(jecla
necessary to those who ex |*et U> go to
college.
At one meeting tiiere was exhibited
in an anteroom iiefore and after the
meeting samples of the gissls mmu
factured hy industries reoenlly started
in town- rilx new companies exhibit
ed their goods and tire display was so
tine.and the interest produced ao great,
that a committee was apjsHnlod w hich
resulted later In an Industrial K*|W*i
tion. It lilied the large new armory,
and no ei|tul space in the great ex|*>*i

piav w as wholly of good* made In the
town, not simply sold In town, it was
not a merchanl’a display but a manu
