Fitzgorad to At tend Senatorial Convention JACOB NESSLER ARRESTED Local Man Held For New Jersey Authorities on Charges of Selling Automobile Not C'wned By Him— Drum Corps Will Open Carnival, The old guard of the Democratic party gathered in the town hall last evening at the caucus wWhich was held for the purpose of nominating candi- dates to the various conventions to te held in Hartford and Plainville this month. Although a mere hand- ful was present at the caucus, those present were enthuslastic followers of the people's party. It might be men- tioned, before the story becomes en- larged, that the democrats had wom- en at their caucus. Tt is also a true fact that the women were on time. (Does it sound reasonable?) and were ready to answer “present’” when the chairman’s gavel, a nice name gen- erally applled to a big fist which pounds for order, sounded the blows which opened the meeting. Unlike | thelr republican sisters, the democrat- ic adherents of the opposite sex were permitted plenty of time to take part in the caucus and, before they step- ped lightly over the threshold of the court room in which they had assem- bled, registered a victory for all wom- ankind by naming Miss Mary M. Fitz- gerald to be a representative delegate at the session of Democrats to be held when the district convention is Iheld in this town later in the month, The election of Mis; Fitzgerald gives the we!ll known Piainville young woman the honor of having been the first local woman to be elected by the democrats of this town. The cholce of Miss Fitzgerald to take an active part In politics will meet with favor both from the republicans and democrats as she is known as a zeal- ous and ardent supporter of any cause she upholds. Her activities in supporting the recent carnival of the Brock-Barnes post; her interest dur- ing the war in the local Red Cross division; her whole-hearted coopera- tion in aiding such affairs as were conducted by the former Boys' club, the annual firemen's fair, and other similar activities; all these - have stamped her as an active worker and one who is to be counted on for much whenever her activities are sought in support of any campaign. While her nomination as a delegate to the local convention Is but the first step in her political career, it is not too much to predict that the democrats will bear her in mind when the town caucus ar- rives in another few days and the posts for the various town offices are being filled.

Not only does Mr. Stevens want to be Berlin's next representative in the legislature, but also wants to be chairman of the house appropriations committee. . In o formal statement today, Stevens safd: “‘You may say that I am a candi- date for nomination and election as Mr. representative from the Town of Ber- op- | Iin.

The Kensington candidate has been in the legislaturc three times -serv- ing ‘as a representative in 1011 and 1919 and as a senator from the fifth distriet in 1918, Mr. Stevens has been a resident of this town for many years and is employed in the sales depart- ment of the Stanley Works in New Britain. In the 1911 session he was a mem- ber of the appropriations committee and the chairman of the committee on the congressional and senatorial dis- tricts. In the 1013 gession he was a genate member of the committee on agriculture, woman suffrage and sale of lands. When he returned as rep- resentative in 1919 he served as chair- man of the claims committee and was bothering with the affairs of the town. Although the Independent Political association was founded last year with the interests of the town at heart nothing has been heard from the or- |zanization this year.

While the town elec- tion is still about a month away it is| known that the local Jeffersonians will itry and put a strong ticket in the i fleld this vear, belleving that local | people are anxious for a change in town government. No hints have yet been dropped as to the popular choice for selectman but it will not be sur- [ prising if the party leaders come out of their state of coma and hunt for a vote-getter as well as an efficient |leader. There has been considerable Italk about the streets within recent months in regard to the local town offices and some dissatisfaction has been heard.
