A Consolidating Power Plant Project.
Klectricity for heat, light ami power:
electricity at low cost tiny where in this
section « f Windham county, up-to-date
-er\ ice and an abundance of supply—
, ,t.ins assured if a plan now under w ax
can t>e successfully worked out.
Interests identified with the General
Klectric Company have secured an op
tion on the Danielson Peoples Light
and Power Company, and arc also ne
gotiating with a marked degree of suc
cess for tlie control of the electric light
ing plants at Putnam, Webster and
Southbridge.
Tue water privilege at Daniel - xil
lage. near ISallouxille, has passed, by
purchase, into the hands of the com
panv promoting the plan, and there, it
i, understood, will be constructed a
plant for elexelopiug electricity.
Partial agreements, it is said, airea
dy exist whereby the cotton mills in
the north end of the town cf Killinglx
wilt use enough power to insure the
feasibility of making the improvement.
In connection with options now he.d
in this vicinity, the compressed a.r
Plant at Taftville is also considered as
desirable to include in the chain of
power plants of the new company.
This consolidation of electric power
plants has been pending for some time.
Delays due to xarious causes, such as
securing control of stock, getting op
tions and the general financial condi
tions during the past few months, arc
responsible for slow progress.
The working out of the proposition
has been carefully pursued, however,
and it seems assured of becoming a

Political Items.
The most important |h>!iin-al event
of the pa*t week was the nomination
of Governor Hughes, of New York, for
a second term. A coterie of half a doz
en Republican party leaders undertook
to defeat his nomination, and would
have succeeded, notwithstanding that
nine-tenths of the party voters desired
to have him Gov enior for another term,
but for two reasons: President Roose
velt* expressed himself so strongly in
regard to the ittt|s>rlance of nominating
the Governor, that the people of the
State, and Republicans throughout the
I'nion, were aroused to indignation
against the half score of obstructionists
so that they got frightened. The other
reason was, that no influential Repub
lican would consent to l>e their tool.
At the convention, held at Saratoga,
last Tuesday. Governor Hughes was
nominated on the lirst ballot, receiving
a plurality of s2T to I'd for other candi
dates. It will lie a lesson that the jieo
plecf that and every other Stale should
nev er overlook.
On learning of the renomination of
Governor Hughes, Judge Taft sent him
the following telegram:
• i sincerely congratulate you on vottr
well-deserved renmninatlon. It not
only makes the stale < : New 'i ork safe
in November, but it greatly strength
en'the national ticket in every State
in the I'nion. I hope that you will
la- able to give some of your time in the
campaign to the West."

To the claim by Hryan that he is |
heir to the Roosevelt |M>!icies instead of
Judge Taft, the President sends out a
stinging letter of denial, saying that
Taft stands in an es|>ecial sense for all
