Connecticut Taft Victory at State Convention
The Connecticut Republican State convention heavily endorsed President Roosevelt’s administration and instructed few delegates toward Taft at the national convention. Uninstructed delegates hail from the First and Third districts, with Hulkeley and Uvandeger withdrawing as delegates at large. Delegates at large are Charles F. Bronker of Ansonia and Michael Kenegly of Stamford. The platform calls for prompt reform of the art of 1997 and protests monopolistic can tonations raising item prices to boost producer profits. The Lay Republican faction favors Taft, directing delegates to vote for William H. Taft of Ohio.
