Eddy, Mgr. for each ward at each primary elec- tion, which place shall be fixed and designated by the republican town committee, who shall cause notice thereof to be published in all daily newspapers of this city in such man- ner as is herein prescribed. The polls in each ward shall be open from four o’clock in the afternoon until eight o'clock in the evening during every primary election. The republican town committee shall designate from the republican voters of said city, a presiding officer for each ward, and such assistance as may be necessary to relieve him in the duty of pre- siding. The republican town com- mittee shall designate also a checker, a ballot box tender, ballot tender and four counters for each ward, and pro- vide the republican ward voting list for every checker, and the checker shall check thereon the names of all persons whose votes are received. A ballot box shall be provided by the republican town committee for each ward for the receipt of the ballots.” Mr. Colvert Denies. “We were with “Bill” Quigley one day last week, I don't remember which one, but had no intention of keeping him from filing his petition in the primaries, in fact I do not know which was the last day for filing petitions,” stated Mr. Colvert, when he was reached via telephone this afternoon. Mr. Colvert was highly amused at the story and laughed heartily, although ‘he did admit that both he and Mr. Mills were with the candidate during the week. Mr. Mills could not be reached, as he was not at his office when inquiry was made for him Chairman Erwin, of the republican town committee said that he did tell Mr. Quigley, some time Friday night, that if he had wished to g0 to the convention he should have said so before. Beyond that he did not go. Mr. Colvert’s statement tha the did not tbink of the primary at all when he was out with Mr. Quigley would seem to be a denial, also, that anything at all was said about voting as Sennorl Klett might dictate. 1 ‘We offer— NORTH & JUD MFG.CO.

There are three real reasons which should stand out clearly in your mind. You do not have to carry a lot of loose bills around with you, with a chance of losing them. 2. You have a legal receipt for every bill you pay. 3. You have a means of building up surplus—which you do not have if you cacry loose money around in your pocket. “Let Us Help You To Make a Start” The New Britain Trust Co. Open Tonight 7:30 to 9 p. m.
