ALLING Democrats Hold Enthusiastic Qaucus and Nominate Officers INDIGNANT AT REPUBLICANS Have PDemocrats Claim That They Been Slighted—Teachers Meet Daily —Sheriff Clark Helps Catch Mur- | derer—Drowned Man Identified. Norman L. Beckley was last even- ng endorsed by the democratic vot- ers of this town in caucus at the Town hall for first selectman and John T. Molumphy was selected as his running mate. The caucus was one of the largest attended in years and enthusiasm ran high. Tht meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock by the chairman of the democratic town committee, John A. Moore, and George W. Sullin was chosen chairman of the meciing and James E. Corr, clerk A strong drive was made to place the name of Lewis A. Westcott of East Berlin at the head of the ticket, but because of the strenuous objec- tlons of Mr. Wescott this proved un- successful. Although he has been a staunch democrat all his life and al- ways willing to aid his party in any manner possible, Mr. Westcott de- clared that he would rather remain a private cltizen than a public official, ! proclaiming that he could accomplish it he were in office. The name of Norman L. Beckley was placed before the voters and was at once heartily endorsed by those Dresent. John T. Molumphy was named for selectman, receiving the manimous endorsement of his party, A5 did Mr. Beckley. Both Mr. Beckley and Mr. Molum- phy are well known in this town where hey have resided for years. Mr. Beck- ley \has served the town as constable | ffor & number of years while Mr. Mo- | lumphy at present is on the school board of which he is president. With hese two men heading their tfeket a democratic victory will be looked for t the polls by democratic leaders. Mr. fBeckley should give Judge Willard I Alling, the republican nominee for selectman, a hot contest while Mr. olimphy should show George B. larter that he is in the race. The other nominations are as fol- Thomas C. Fagan. Board of Rellef—John McKeon, Sr. Town Clerk—Francis H. Shaw. Town Treasurer—Francis 1. Shaw. Auditor—George W. Sullivan. Collector of Taxes—Jokn A. Moore. Cgnstable—John Hackett, F. J. Buckley and N. L. Beckley. Registrar of Voters—Harry McKeor. Town School Committec—Willlam Ny Democrats Indignant. Much indignation was expressed by the democrats last evening because of he unfair manner in which they claim Rey were treated by the republicans i death. iof the at the recent caucus held by the latter party. According to the democrats under a new law recently passed by the legislature the party in power is allowed to nominate three men for the board of relief and three for the board of assessors if it so desired. In former years the law allowed the suc- cessful party but two members on the board, the third being chosen from the minority party. At the republi- can caucus held last week three men were nominated for each board thus giving the democrats no representa- tion unless they are fortunate enough to be successful at the polls. Many democratic voters last night claimed that they had been slighted by the republicans and that only two men should have been nominated for each board, the other place to have been given to the democrats as had been done in years past. Teachers Meeting Daily. All local teachers gathered at the Kensington Grammar school yester- day morning where Superintendent J. W. Dows outlined the plans to be car- ried out during the year. The teach- ers will meet every morning of this week at the Grammar school where lectures will be given.

Sheriff Clark came into the lime- light last night when he assisted Sheriff Hudson Hurd and Officers | Daley and Walsh of Haverstraw, N. Y. to capture Felix Coleman, a ne- gro, at Murray's brickyard in Clay- ton, on the charge of murder.

CAUCUS TO BE HELD THURSDAY | Expected Selectman Johnson Will Be Renominated | MAY SELECT HART TONIGHT License Petition Filed. Chairman Edwin H. Hills of the re- publican town committee today issued the call for the caucus to be held in the Town hall Thursday evening at § o’clock when nominations for town offices are to he made. The caucus will confine itself to the selection of | names for the town ticket, the nomi- nation of candidates for representa- probate, who will not be voted on un- 111 the November election, being de- ferred until some future date. Leaders of the party claim there are no indicatlons of contests for any | of the offices and the caucus Is lia- ble to be a harmonious session. The nominatioon of William J. Johnsan to succeed himself as first selectman is; generally expected. The republicans spemingly are well satisfled with the manner in which the present incum- | bent of the selectman’s office has con- | ducted the business and he is liable | to be named without opposition. | Charles H. Calar will be selected for | his running mate, providing he s willing to continue a member of the! board. The renomination of R. C. Usher as town clerk; W. J. Hemingway, tax collector; Charles W. Hird, treasurer: 1. P. Newell, registrar of voters, and & S, Gwillim and S. P. Willlams for grand jurors is a foregone conclusion. It is also thought probable that Con- stables Marino, Anderson and David will again be selected. 7 Little interest is taken in the cau- cus because of the absence of contests and the attendance may not be large. Democrats Tonight. Local followers of Wilson will as- semble in the Town hall tonight at 8 o'cock to make up thelr ticket foT the | town election. As is the case in the | G. O. P. camp, contests are lable to. be conspicuous by their absence and the meeting will be in the nature of a love feast Willlam C. Hart is expected to be made the nominee for first selectman and the leaders do not anticipate there will be any opposition to the cholce. Mr. Hart earned the right to make a second try for the office a year ago when he made a splendid showing In the contest against the re- publican nominee. The gession will be called ta order at 8 o'clock by Chairman H. A. Cas-, tle. License Petition Tn. Asking to have the vote taken on the license question at the tawn elec- tion next month the prohibitioh forces yesterday filed a formal petition with the town clerk and the selectmen will include the matter in the call. The “drys” declare that they haq little difficulty in getting the required num- ber of signatures and the petition bears several more names than the law Tequires. The anti-license forces are making preparations for an active campaign during the next few weeks and they have planned far rallies and other rueetings in the Interests of prohibi- tion, Floped With Friend's Wife, Charging that his wife ran away with Tony Cascella, a friefd of the family, Dominic Marchesa of West Main street has asked the police to aid him in locating the pair. The woman took her infant baby with her | tributions for the garden party | ing voters for the October cording to his story. Hence quest of the police. Cascella, Marchesa told the author- ities, had been friendly with his wife for some time and there has been trouble in the family over their rela- ticn Last week Mrs. Marchesa dis- appeared while her husband was at work and when he investigated he discovered that Cascella was also missing. | The people involved | came here but recently from Water- | | bury and local Italians know but lit- | tle of them. | ' Lois F' ; Miss Lois his re- in the affair ceman the Winner., Freeman was the winner contest conducted a number of local merchants, according | to an announcement made today. The | contest closed on August 31 but the votes were not counted until yester- day, when a representative of the campany which inaugurated the cam- paign early in the summer, Miss Freeman's victory was very | decisive. She had 1,892,750 votes to | her credit. Her nearest rival was Samuel Castle, who polled 829,935 votes. Others in the contest finished as follows: John Gladis, 335,405; | Fred Callen, 330,980; Leonard Cas- | sidy, 131,890; and Walter Wood, 112,- 085. The winner of the contest is to be | presented with a pony and cart by | the merchants under whose patronage | it was given. General Committee Plans for the garden party to be! held in the Town hall during the lat- | ter part of October for the benefit of | the library fund are being perfected by the Woman's club under whose | auspices the affalr is to be given and | the members report that they are | greatly encouraged over the interest | manifested in the arrangements. During the summer they have spent considerable time- attending to the preliminary details and the plans are now well developed. Many of the townspeople interested in the efforts of the club to build up the library fund have made con- and it is hoped a large additional num- ber of donations will be forthcoming: during the next few weeks.

The board of selectmen and Town Clerk Usher have made arrange- ments to hold an all-day session on September 23 for the purpose of mak- election. Because of the probable contest on the license question it is expected an effort will be made to greatly in- crease the number of names on the voting; list. The registrars will meet Thursday from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. to receive the names of those who wish to be made. Only those whose names have been filed by Thursd. night will be eligible to take the elector's oath when the selectmen meet. Cray For Senator. Bristol leaders of democracy have started a boom for the nomination of James Cray, former mayor of that city, for senator from the fifth dis- trict and if he can be persuaded to make the run the convention will doubtless glve him the opportunity. Mr. Cray is extremely popular in Bristol and would get a handsome vote from his fellow townsmen, He is also well liked in Plainville and it is conceded that he would rnu well here. The district is overwhelmingly republican but with Mr. Cray for its senatorial ocandidate the democratic party should make a creditable show- ing. The republicans will Plainville Friday to nominate their | candidate. Throughout the district the impression seems to prevail that | Representative Rogers of Southington will be selected. Plainville 1s anx- | ious to get the place for A. H. Con- dell but the Rogers supporters claim that they have pledges for more than enough delegates to insure the South- gather in when she left town and Marchesa is anxious about the child’s welfare, ac- ington man’s selection, The convention will be held in the IS THE WEDDING IN OCTOBER?

PASTEURIZE DMILK VICTORY. None of Children Fed by Strauss Depots Tl With Paralysis. ew York, Sept. 1.—Nathan Straus, who for twenty-five years has been iving pasteurized milk daily to some 2,500 babies in New oYrk, made public today a letter he had written to Sur- geon General Rupert Blue, in which he declares that nénee of the children fe dby his milk depots has contracted infantile paralysts. The condition of these babies, sald Mr. Straus, “is in no way different from other babies in this city, except that they receive milk that has been made safe food by killing the germs likely to be found in raw milk.” | | Det’s Have World-Ttme!

Suppose, when the sun is verticall to the 180th meridian from Green- wich, every clock and watch in the world should point to the hour 0 at| the beginning of ‘‘the day.” When vertical to the meridian of Green- wich it would be 12 everywhere. When approaching the 180th meridian the clocks would be approaching 24. Every locality would settle its most convenient time for breakfast, ete., e. g., 6, 8 12, 14 or 28 o'clock.
