Edward E. Stevens Is the democratic candidate for warden to be voted fer Mon day, May 6 Mir Stevens Is about 35 years of age, a son of the late Hon Hiel $. Stevens, d practical business man and one that can be depended on to conduct the affairs of the borough on business princi- pie if he is elected. In a word he is honest and capable. The citizens of this borough want a change of officials and the demo crats hit the mark when they nominated Edward E. Stevens. He has lived here all his life, was educated in our public schools and commenced in business quite young. He has made a success of his own business and tf .. is fair example whether he is capable of standing at the head of our borough government.
 The stories circulated that the demo- cratic warden and burgesses would remove all the present officials has very evident been born in the republicans camp. and Monday will tell the story whether such reports will have the effect of causing all the present officials appointed by the re- publican warden and burgesses to work for F. F. Schaffer O: not Mir Stevens has
 made no promises. Not one democrat asked him to. In fact the chairman of the democratic town committee, William Ken knedy, has openly declared that it was the Eduty of the democrats of Naugatuck to turn out and work for Edward F.. Stevens and secure his election without being
 pledged to any man. or set of men, and let Mir Stevens use his own judg- ment on the appointment of borough off, cials. That is business and is the true and correct democratic doctrine. Vote for
 Stevens, elect him and have our borough l business conducted fer the interest of the
 taxpayers.
 The democr.ts have taken r
 burgesses James Glynn. a moulder by
 trade, man of good education. and Rob- ert Cleary, a boot maker at the new rubber shop, and both of them are friends of the working people. But the working people must remember that it is their duty to see lthat Mir Stevens is elected for warden. and every friend of James Glynn and Robert Cleary should vote for Stevens because their services on the board will be of little
 use without Mir Stevens is with them. D,
 P. Mills and J. Howell Jennings will vote with Mir Schaffer every time. They have done so in the past and will continue to.
 Jeremiah H. Dunn. democratic candidate m the first ward, Is a contractor Tn the stone mason business and will make an able burgess.
 Vote for Stevens. He will be our next warden.
 Hugh Hesrns. the d. mocrstic candidate for town clerk, will certainly be elected. He is one of the best town clerks Nauga-
 tuck ,Her had and is very attentive to the duties of the office. Every friend of his 1 should vote the democratic ticket from top
 to bottom and turn out and work for him, l H. H. Schofeld, the republican candidate
 for town clerk, Is making an e&sfa sffsrt te bs sleotsa1 ss

DURANT TURNED PALE
More Evidence That He Committed thf
 Emanuel Church Murders.


 Emanuel Church Murders.
 SAN FRANCISCO May 4.-The prelimi, nary examination in the case of Theodore Durant charged with the murder of Blanch Lamont in Emanuel church, was damaging to the defendant. Some new and startling evidence was introduced and still further connected Durant with the crimo.
 O. Q. Oppenheimcr a second hand deal or, testified that between April 1 and April 10 Durant had offered for sale a lady's diamond ring. The witness was shown three rings He positively identi- fed one as being Offorud by Durant. The ring was one of three returned to Blanch Lamont's aunt wrapped in n newspaper. the day before Minnie Williams body was found. When Oppenheimer identified thiS ring. Durant started violently. turned pale and exhibited more uneasiness than at any time since his arrest.
 The defendants counsel tried to break down this witness testimony and that of three other witnesses who repeated the evidence given by them at the inquest on Wednesday. They were Martin Quinlan, the attorney who saw DurAnt and girl resembling Blanch approaching Emanuel church at 4:20 p. m. on April ,; David Clark, who COrroboratcd Quinlan's state mont of his whereabouts on that day, and the janitOr of Emanuel church, who testi- fled that there were no defects in the gas on April 3, and that therefore therc was no reason why Durant should have been fix ing the gas pipes at the room that after noon. The janitor's evidence was for the purpose of discrediting Durant's explana- tion to Organist King of his appearance when he came down pale sick and weak as the prosecution maintains, from the belfry where he had just murdered Blanch Lamont

 A Bank street merchant says the DEM ocRAr deserves the credit of forcing the charter committee to show up all the amendments of the original draft. He said it was no republican scheme and that the fellows who are behind it would find that that they are cutting the ground from un- der their own party. He believed that the opposition to the proposed new charter is stronger and more determined among the republicans than it is anywhere else. There is not district in the town, he said. that is not opposed to 1t. The people Tn the city don't want 1t and what seems to be puzzling everyone is what makes those fellows think we need such an in strument.
 A resident of Town Plot told a report CT of the DEMOCRAT this morning that the largest tree in the town of Waterbury is now going to decay at the junction of South Wilson street and Sunnyside avenue. ''There is a history" he said, connected with that tree. which would make an in- teresting novel Father used to tell me ludl luc plhCc huCLc ~ bkhhNo "uo OhNo NIC site of an Indian camp and that this tree gre to its usual size because of the rich ness of the soil about it. for when he was q boy the people who used to go hunting in that section often picked up the bones of human beings which had been killed on that spot. It was there. too. that the tribe met to crown their chief and descendent of one of the Indian families that fingered about here until some time towards the close of the civil war still lives in the town of Southford. When Sunnyside avenue was being cut through the workmen found several tomahawks and other instru- ments of warfare rolled in a bear skin several feet under the earth.

 The circulation of the DEMOCRAT in Naugatuck is now larger than that of any other daily paper. The Nauga;uck News of this week says:
 I've are c-edibly informed that a repre- sentative of the circulation department of the Waterbury American has given some newsboys of this place an ultimatum: They must quit selling the DEMOCRAT if they wish to sell the American. That's another mighty small specimen of muswumpery, and don't you forget it
 The little newsboys are striving to earn an honest penny and We can only say. so far as the DEMOCRAT is con- cerned, that our regular boys may sell the American or any paper thelr customers de mand. The DEMOCRAT will print all the Naugatuck and Union City news it can ob- tain and the price is two cents. Tell the newsboy to leave it at your place of busi- ness or residence every day.
