Judge Tammany at the caucus in the second district last night
when he learned that the people felt that Judge Gandee should re-
ceive the nomination in place of himself gracefully capitulated and
promised Judge Gandee and the Republican party his heartiest and
utmost support, and promised the support of his friends as well...
Judge Tammany and his workers had been hard at work dur-
jug llm past few days, in fact since he announced his intention of
rulzmng for the post of senator from the 26th, and were confident
that um had the greater number of delegates “sewed up.”
The was [specially felt in the Second where the Tammany
form’s- c;-.pected to deliver a big surprise to the Gandee forces. The
{and tlm the test vote on the delegates showed a preponderance of
almost 2 to 1 in favor of Candee was the boomerang that the Tam-
lll.l.lly forces launched. _7- e -“I'.'
Tonight's convention will be for the purpose of electing four

Wltl: N opwalk firmly for Candee, it is not believed that the towns
of D'll‘l‘l‘ll, Wilton and New Canaan will be strong enough to cause
thn Candee men any fear as these places are also practically in favor
of Jlilzgt: Candee as he is entitled to the post of senator for his past
work and on account of his past record of constructive legislation.

to promulgation of the federal suffrage amendment and then says:

numerous that it will be practically impossible to make them all this
