 Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 The vote removing George Hosford as chief of police of the borough of Naugatuch gives entire satisfaction to a large number of democrats and also quite following tt republicans. It has been expected fol
 some time that this move would be made
 as Chief Hosford has not only been very
 aggressive as police officer but also very
 aggressive in working for the republican
 party. A reputable citizen will be electt Lone who will see that the law is enforce
 at least as well as it is now, and one that will prove gentleman. The talk that Hos
 ford IS 8 good officer and should not be rU
 moved would apply to nearly every official
 Thomas Kane made an excellent superin
 tendent of schools and gave satisfaction tc
 some of our best citizens and to the schoo
 chillren. Still 6 republican committee re
 moved him, or refused to employ him
 Why should the democratic warden or bur
 gesses hesitate a moment to select demo
 crat to the office of chief of police? Th'
 best people in the town will uphold thu
 stand that has been taken in removing
