Leland Gwat- kin, secretary of the State Agricul- " tural society, announced this morn- ing that he will oppose Charles F. SLewis of Kensington, present incum- ! bent of the office of tax-collector, for LELAND W. GWATKIN, renomination. Mr. Gwatkin said that he has decided to throw his hat into the ring after careful deliberation and much persuasion on the part of ~his host of friends. In speaking of hi. Mr., Gwatkin said, good clean campaign . P mud slinging. Within i past few days I have been constantly urged by a large number of people to run. These people feel that although the present holder ‘of the position, has 1 t for a Gone his work in a satisfactory man- | ner, he is at present drawing a lucra- tive salary at the American Paper Goods company and should step asiils -for someone who is in need of renumeration received from collect- ing the taxes: My work has always been. elerical and I feel that should I receive the nomination and be elect- pd I will be able to fill the office the entime satisfaction of all.

Personally I have decision to run | 20 | the | to | no hard feelings against Mr. Lewis. I have decided to run against him not because he is incompetent but be- cause he has a good position which | | requires a large amount of his time | and therefore cannot devote the time to the collection of taxes that I will be able to do.” i The announcement that Mr. Gwat- kin is to be a candidate for tax- collector will be received with pleasure by his large circle of friends. He is one of Berin’s own sons -as | lwell as one of its best known eiti- | zens having been born and raised here: He has been the secretary of the State Agricultural society for ths past nine years and it is mainly through his energetic efforts and | sagacious business judgment that ihe | society is in the flourishing condition that it can boast of today. At pres- ent he is employed as purchasing agent at the White Adding Machine | company in New Haven and is highly spoken of by the officials of the firm. |""This will be Mr. Gwatkin's * first | venture into politics, i | Troubles Aired in Court.

Griswold before whom the case was tried ths morning, until| Saturday at which time Mrs. Balog's | husband will appear in the court at 1 2:30 o’clock in the afternoon on the! charge of selling intoxicating liquors without a license. Attorney Joseph J. Woods of New Britain appeared in defense of Mrs. | Balong dnd Prosecutor William H. Gibney conducted the case for the state. According to the story told by Mrs. Capsticks on the witness stand, -ill feeling has existed for an indefinite period between her jand her alleged quarrelsome neighhdr, Mrs. Balog. | Things care to a head on Friday | ! niorning, Septemper 3, when three of | Mrs, Balogs children trespassed in | Mrs. Capsticks’ vard.

Wil- | liam Hannon of Farmington road is | highly indignant. According to the story Mr. Hannon has been telling his ‘trlends he hus paid for the light in ! ov I eay. front of his home until next May. He gave the money to Mr. Mott, he says, and believed that he in turn had giv- en it to the electric company. It is said that the monev has not been' re- turned to hivi and his light in the i meantime has been removed. A number of other citizens residing on the road ciaim that they paid for their lights until October.

There was not a single the ticket to be used at the October election was entirely in accord with | the predictions of the town commit- tee members. Their suggestions re- ! ceived the endorsement of the voters | and the selection of candidates took | but a short time. William C. Hart was made the | party’s candidate for first selectman Frederick S. Spencer agreeing to be ! his running mate. Mr. Hart was selected by acclamation on the sug- gestion af Minton A. Norton, chair- | man of the town committee. The | opinion seemed to prevail that thej former sheriff will make an ideal | candidate and some of the voters ex- | pressed the belief that he will be elected. The nominations made by the cau- cus follow: Town Clerk—William L. Cafferty. Town Treasurer—William 8. Eaton‘ Selectmen—William C. Hart and Frederick S. Spencer. | Board of Relief—Three years, | Frank G. Osborne; two years, John | one year, Edward P. Prior. Constables—Cornelius Downing, Al- bert Sturgeon, Stephen Leonard and Gaetno Casciello. Grand Jurors—Minton A. Norton and Giles C. Buell. Assessor—Oliver H. Robertson. Collector of Taxes—Giles C. Buell. Registrar—A. D. Cady. School Committee—John C. Gar- rity. Auditor—Frank G. Osborne. Library Director—Rev. Robert H. Burton. The ticket will have a very familiar appearance, practically all the nom- inees having made the run at the election last year.

He ex- | pressed his appreciation of the nom- | ination and promised to da all in his power to win at the polls. Albert H. Dresser served as chair- man of the gathering and William L. Cafferty was clerk. “Couldn’t Be Me”—Peterson. Although Constable Marino testi- fled that brakemen had saved Sal Peterson of Bristol from death under the wheels of a freight train, late last night subsequently asking the policeman to take him out the dan- ger zone, the man himself this morn- | ing denied in court that he had even been on the railroad tracks. BTt couldn’t be me. It must have been some other fellow,” he declared. While in an intoxicated condition Peterson had wandered to the tres- tle spanning the Pequabuck river, near the passenger station, and he was lying prone on the tracks when the crew of an approaching freight discovered him. The accused entéred a plea of guilty in court this morning. He be- longs in Bristol. Last evening when he got through his work he went to New Britain for a glass of beer, in- tending to return in a short time for supper. An empty stomach he thought was his undoing for after two drinks he lost his bearings. About midnight he was picked up on the Southington road by an auto- ist who brought him to the depot in time ta catch the last train for Bris- tol. He waited but a short time and returned to the center, Officer | Marino bringing him back a few min- tues later. He finally missed the train and fell on the tracks. As Sessions Clock Shop where Pet- erson is employed, the superintendent advised Grand Juror S. S. Gwillim that the accused has a good record. Far that reason Justice Condell was inclined to be lenient. He imposed a fine of $1 and costs, amounting to $8.01. Officer Marino accom- | panied Peterson to Bristol, the lat- ter having expressed a wish to get the money to pay his fine rather than go to jail. Temperance People Active. Formal opening of the campaign | against John Barleycorn was made yesterday when the temperance advo- cates put in circulation a petition for a vote on the license question at the October election. The paper was passed among employes of the Trum- bull Electric company and it is said that there was but little difficulty in securing signatures. The campaign will be on in earnest | in a few days and while they have not announced their plans it is be- lieved the no-license contingent will make a determined effort to put the town in the “a column Bristol, Terryville and however, by the re- Plainville, Britain has completed arrangements with the State Agricultural society whereby he is to take charge of the | any longer. | acticn on . caucus Monday. | market on West Main street to Is- | rael Pcuzzner of New Britain.

The mort- gage was for $275 and it was agreed at the time it was issued that im- mediate payment should be made in case the store changed hands again. It was explnined at a conference held vesterday that the actual rale will | not take place until Saturday at which time Mr. Conlon will be pre- | pared to settle the mortgage indebt- edness. This action will result in a withdrawal of the suit. Fountain Pen For Lambert, Richard Lambert will this evening sever his connetcion with the New Haven railroad, his resignation as baggage master at the local depot tak- ing effect at that time. Mr. Lam- bert on Monday will assume his du- ties as assistant shipper in the Bris- tol Brass company’s factory in For- estville. The retiring bagzage master has been employed by the railroad in Plainville for nearly fourteen years. His fellow employees this afternoon presented him with a fountain pen as a testimonial of their esteem and good wishes. May- Drop Conlon. Friends of Constable John E.
