Guesses as to Who VIII Succeed Prose-
cutting Agent Hoiohan.
The article in last nights DEMooRAT
relative to the positions of jailor In New
Haven and deputy sheriff of Waterbury
has set many of the republicans thinking.
As consequence attention has been
strongly drawn to that other political
plum, the position of prosecuting agent.
OF course the present incumbent is good
for somt months yet, but that does not
stop the number of aspirants for the
office The two leaders for the position
in Waterbury are Attorneys Wilson ii.
Pierce and William Il. Madison. Rumor
has II that the chances of the latter are
tine better. The appointment will probably
come through the recommendation of
representative republicans of the city. 1t
is said that Attorney John NJ. Sweeney of
Naugatuck is the favored one in that re-
spect. 1t is intimated that Attorney
Sweeney has been promised the position
if he makes Waterbury his home.

LETTERS FROM THEPEOPLe

Editor of the DEMoCEAT:
Will you please allow me little space
to deny n statement in a recent issue Of
the Enterprise. The charge that the
police hang out in the night cafe and that
free lunch is :, rived there to the chief is
false. The only foundation for the con-
temptible story is that some IF the police
men have been in the habit of calling at
the cafe late at night for a lunch. which
they always paid for.
Yours respectfully,
MICHAEL OCoNNELL.
