SECRET ballot bills multiply. Out of the inventions discussed we hope the best results will be evolved. The secret ballot will mol only lessen vote buying and selling, but will increase independent voting, and thereby in. crease the responsibilities of the nominating power. There are voters who would secretly rebuke the making of an unfit nomination bJ the party caucus who would hesitate to openly do so. The proper thing for the voter to dt is to see that his efforts are given to the mak ing of fit nominations, but it is also his righ and duty to discourage the making of unfi ones.

Edmund Watson, an East Windsor Hill justice of the peace, to show his contempt for the game law, some time ago adver- tised for game to be delivered out of sea- son, and also for game birds eggs, con- trary to law. He was arrested at the in- stigation of the Connecticut Association of Farmers and Sportsmen for the Protection of Game and Fish, was arraigned before Justice Seth Vinton, of South Windsor, and a complaint containing fifteen counts for violating the game law was preferred against him. Only two of the fifteen counts were pressed, however. Watson was found guilty, and fined the total amount, in. cluding costs, footed up nearly $50.
