HAVING AN AUTOMOBILE DELIVERY FOR NEW BRITAIN YOU OAN DEPEND ONX PROMPTLY RECEIVING ALL DRY GOODS PURCHASED OF (8 Beriin News POLITICAL POT IS AGAIN' SIMMERING Gibney, Jarvis, Deming and Mildrum for Representative P. S. McMAHON IN LIMELIGHT Eries to Oppose Officials at Fair and Not Hav- Auctioneer is Arrested for ing License—Hannon-Hall Nuptials i *Announced—Farmhand Injured. With Friday, October 13, having been set by the republican state cen- tral committee in session in Hartford yesterday, as the day for caucuses for Tepresentatives and justices of the peace, the political pot in this town has again begun to simmer. The rep- resentative from this town this fall will be chosen from the Berlin dis- trict. Dr. R. M. Griswold of Kensing- ton represented Ber#n at the last legislature and it is an unwritten law In this town that the representative phall be chosen from alternate dis- tricts every two years. Four prominent citizens are being mefrtioned for the position. They are Belectman Wildam H. Gibney, Col. Charles M. Jarvis, Francis Deming, gll of Worthington Ridge, and E. W. Mildrum of East Berlin. Mr. Gibney, Js the belief of many, would make an Jdeal man for representative. Al- though he has not as yet announced pudlically whether he will accept the tffice if it is offered to him, it is re- ported that his fallowers will make a ptrong drive to have him consent to yun, For the past fourteen years, Mr. Gibney has triumphed at the polls as first selectman only to be defeated at the republican caucus recentl® by Wudge Willard 1. Alling. The reason for his dawnfall is attributeq by Mr. Gibney’s friends because of his lack of eampaigning. It was not known efinitely whether Mr, Gibney would Rgain enter the political ring to suc- teed himself untll the day of the cau- cus. The political workers of Judge lling in the meantime did not allow iny grass to grow under their feet and lwhen the caucus was held the results of their efforts were plainly visible. t is~doubtful whether a better in- formed politician can be found in the ftown than Mr. Gibney, and should he | come out definitely with the annaunce fnent that he is a candidate for sentative, the others will have to hus tle to defeat him. Col. Charles M. Jarvis, pre the Berlin Agricultural society 2ady said to have thrown his hat into fthe ring and will actively appose Mr. dent of is al- repre- the bank and on the finance commit- tee has gained an enviable reputation about the state as well as in Berlin as being a level-headed business man. E. W. Mildrum of East Berlin, al- ways a staunch republican, has taken interest in every movement for the Detterment of this tawn. He has served on the finance committee and his associates in business as well as on the board have nothing but the high- of words of praise for him. “P, S.” In Limelight Again. Patrick S. McMahon, the well- known theater magnate of New Brit- ain, came into the limelight again yes- terday when he attempted to oppose the officials of the Berlin fair, and Prosecutor Willlam H, Gibney, who has charge of the policing of the grounds. Mr. McMahon, it appears, was given permission to have a drove of cattle auctioned at the grounds yesterday. It is claimed that he over- stepped his rights when he had the bovines driven into a large ring in back of the grandstand, where cattle are tested for their strength. The test was to be held at 11 o’clock ves- {erday morning, but when the cattle dealers attempted . to exhibit their beasts it was found that the ring was slready occupied by Mr. McMahon’s animals. The secretary of the fair, Leland W. Gwatkins, was summoned and he expostulated with Mr., McMa- hon, but to no avail, the latter refus- ing flatly to remove his cattle until after the auction. Prosecutor Gibney was called by Mr. Gwatkins and when Mr, Gibney asked Robert M. Refd of Manchester, who is Mr. McMahon's auctioneer for his license to auction the cattle he could not produce it. Prosecutor Gibney ordered Constable Bradbury to place Mr. Reid unde¥ ar- rest, and despite the protestations of Mr. McMahan, the auctioneer was confined in the police tent on the grounds. At this, Mr. McMahon sud- enly changed his demeanor and de- ded to obey the commands of Mr. Gwatkins, and removed his cattle from the ring and also secured the necessary license, Mr. McMahon also came in for fur- ther criticism from the officials when it is claimed he fed his cattle wit® the hay provided for the exhbltors. It is feed to the exhibitors for their cat'4 &nd as Mr. McMahon is not an ex “Now I know” said Mr. Roberts, “whyyou didnot buy candy with your ten cents—mother promised tomake D&C doughnuts —didn’t she ?” “Yes” said little Bobby— bney or any other candi for the office.

Hannon—Hall. A romance of several years cul- minated into a wedding Tuesday when Timothy J. Hannon of Kensington and Miss Lillian Hall of East Hampton were married at the home of the bride. The marriage was kept a secret from many local friends of the couple until this morning. Mr. Hannon is em- ployed as a machinist at the Ameri- can Paper Goods factory and has a host of friends in this town and New Britain. Mrs. Hannon is also well known here, where she was employed for a number of years at the Paper Goods factory. It at the fac- tory that the couple first became ac- quainted. While working here, Mrs. Hannon lived at the home of Mrs. John Shorey of Kensington. Mr. and Mrs. Harmon will make their home on Trinity street, New Britaln, on their return from their honeymoon. Farm Hand Hurt. Thomas Smith, who is employed as a farmhand at the farm of Col. Charles M. Jarvis, was painfully injured about 11 o’clock last night when he stumbled over a rope at the fair grounds and received a deep cut in his scalp when his head hit a peg. Dr. M. H. Gris- wold of Kensington was summoned and dressed the wound. Delegates at Conventions. Ex-Senator Claude W. Stevens and Oscar Benson represented this town as delegates at the fifth senatorial dis- trict convention held in Plainville at 3 o’clock this afternoon for the pur- pose of nominating a senator. It is predicted that Elijah Rogers of Sout ington will receive the nomination. J. M. Taylor and Carl J. Muller were the delegates at the convention of the First District Hartford County for the purpose of nominating a congress- man held this morning at Putnam Phalanx hall, Hartford. As no can- didate opposed Congressman P. Davis Oakey for the office, his renomination was assured. Anti-Suffragists at the Fair. A little excitement to the suffra- gist movement in this town was added sterday when the “antis” set up & booth at the fair grounds and began to tell the visitors why the women | should not be given the ballot. The suffragists have had a tent at the grounds since Monday, campalgn- ing for the ballot. Miss Adele D. Murray, president of the Berlin Equal Suffrage league in discussing the movement in this town and the “‘antis” said: The Berlin Equal Suffrage Ieague invites all its friends and the voting guests at the Berlin fair to stop, look, and listen, at the booth of the Con- necticut Association opposed to Woman Suffrage, and urges them to come buy something at the Suffrage booth to help a real cause in its worlk. The ‘Antis they came four e at the fair, but days late. We would respectfully suggest that more wide- awake tactics are necessary for those working to defeat a sure thing.’ “Go, listen to their talks. They are interesting and save us the necessity for offering argument. Youwll go away from their booth convinced of the necessity for universal suffrage. “Are you a good democrat?

The ticket which the republicans will offer at the October election, wWith the exception of the library director- ship which will be looked after by the town committee, follows: Selectmen—William J. Johnson and Charles H. Calor. Assessors—Frank T. Wheeler, Oli- ver H, Robertson and L. B. Tucker. Board of relief—A, H. Condell and James Simpson. Collector of taxes—William J. Hem- ingway. Treasurer—Charles W. Hird. Registrar of voters—I. P. Newell. School committee—L. H. Mills, Grand jurors—S. S. Gwillim and S. P. Williams. Constables—Henry David, Philip Marino, Albert Anderson and John Pease. The caucus was devoid of many of the features which make similar ses- sions interesting. The dropping of I P. Newell as registrar of voters was suggested but failed .of passage. S, S. Gwillim,, who fathered the thought, cxpressed the opinion that the party needs a young man for the position. Mr. Newell, who has served in that capacity for a great many years, Is making his home in New Britain, al- though he maintains his residence here and Mr. Gwillim opined that his successor should be named. A. H. Condell declared that if Mr. Gwillim or any one else cauld suggest a more capable man, he was willing to favor the change, but he belleved Mr, New- ell’s work to be satisfactory and ho thought the party would make no mis- take in re-nominating him. A mo- tion for Mr. Newell’s nomination as then carried. At the suggestion of Mr. Condell, Mr. Robertson, a democrat, was nomi- nated as assessor. Mr. Robertson served last year under a vacancy fill- ing an appointment by selectmen and recognizing the value of his services, the republicans gave him a place on their ticket. Under the law there is no minority representation on the board and the republican majority here is sufficiently large to insure the election of its candidates. < Mr. Condell also spoke for the re- nomination of the present constables. He declared that he has been in a po- sition to know what work the consta- bles have been doing and he is satis- fied with the results of their efforts. No one in the hall could s posi- tively whose term as library directar expired or whether the death of H. A, Fisher necessitated the nominating of two men for places on the commit- tee. Consequently the caucus voted io permit the town committee to make the nomination, 8. S. Gwillim served as chairman of the gathering. Commissioners Named. Judge Thomas A.
