as II Watts on the first ballot?"
That sens to be the question Of the
hour in the advance guard Of the Demo-
cratic hosts that are gathering In Wheel
lnS for their state nominating conyen-
tion this week.
In other words:
Can Smith, Ralphsnyder and Bennett
together show rs many votes in the con-
vention as the Kanawha MANI"
The 1ntelllgencer table printed above
says they can. According to the express
sions OF preference secured from every
county in the state Mr.. Watts will have
423 votes. while the three other members
of the guberna.orial big Four will
have 426
But tables are sometimes uncertain
quantities, and the InteliGencer Is not in
n position TO vouch forthe entire accura-
cy of Its table OF standing Of the aspi-
rants for the Democratic nomination for
governor. For instance. II appears that
very probably Mr.. Watts will have a
majority In the Cabell delegation. and
with the unit rule In force this will throw
Cabcll's 70 TO him, giving him enough to
nominate on the first ballot. Again.
the Watts boomers deny that they will
come out OF the Second congressional
district with practically no votes, as Is
claimed by the Bennett and Smith men.
But, on the other hand, the opposition
to Watts claim they possess plenty OF
confidence In Watts inability TO capture
the nomination on the first ballot. They
say II they can prevent his nomination
on the opening ballot, the district attor-
ney's name Is Mud" or something TO
that effect, that delegates from counties
in all parts of the state who feel oblI-
gated to vote for Watts on the first will
desert his banner on the later ballots.
The Watts men appreciate the fact
that they must win on the first ballot,
though some OF them affect TO believe
that their strength can be held ua-
shaken even II there IS no choice at the
start.
1t Is becoming more apparent than
ever that the opposition to Watts will
center largely on Judge Bennett. With
the supporters OF Smith and Bennett,
especially, the cry Is: 3.
Anything to beat the state house
ring"
Colonel Smith has been making an ac-
tive canvass for several weeks, but there
does not seem TO be the spontaneous de-
mand for him that there Is for Judge
Bennett, whose fight with MacCorkle for
the nomination four years ago placed
him prominently and furorably before
the people, 1t Is even now whispered
that the Smith and Bennett forces Will
unite on the latter In the convention.
and that lf,,with RRlphsnyder'G aid. they
cNn prevent nomination On the first
ballot, the succeeding ballots will mark
steady gains for Bennett until finally
he Is nominated. 1t Is seen, therefore,
that the crucial moment Of the conven-
tlon will be when the first ballot for Sov-
ernor Is taken. =.

WANT VOTE RECONSTRUCTED,

Vote of District Meeting Authorizing
100000 Bond Issuance Displeasing to
Some characterization for Special
District Meeting.
There seems to be considerable oppo-
sition to permitting the school district
to be bounded for 100000, as asked by
the board of education, and this oppo-
sltion yesterday took form in a petition
to the board of education asking that
q special district meeting be called to
reconsider the vote passed at the last
meeting to bond the district, and also
to reconsider the vote passed at the
same meeting authorizing the laying of
an extra one mill school tax on the
grand list, the proceeds from the tax
to be used to pay current district ex-
penses.
The petition is signed by number of
leading business and professional men
of the city. The petition will probably
be considered at the regular meeting of
the board of education to be held Fri
day night.

STATE MUSIC TEACHERS.
Plan to Hold Their Yearly Meeting in
This City

Plan to Hold Their Yearly Meeting in
This City.
The principal officers of the Connecti-
cut Music Teachers association have
held several important meetings with
in the past fortnight. and plans for the
coming festival in May have been prac-
tioally settled upon. The dates for the
festival are May II, Is and 10, at the
Hyperion, New Haven. The festival
throughout will be marked by features
never before introduced at festival by
the association. Moreover, the events
will be more meritorlous and on a
much more ambitious and elaborate
scale. There will be an air of profess
sionalism over all, and greater care has
been given to the arranging of each
event than ever before.
The festival will as usual open with
a business meeting. Instead of the
usual organ recital on the afternoon OF
the first day, and which heretofore has
been a rather dull event, there will be
choir and organ concert, one-third of
the time being devoted to chorus
choirs, the second third to church
auartets. and the remainder of the
time to organists. It is probable that
this concert will be in the form of
contest The annual promenade at the
Hyperion will follow and close the first
day.
The second day of the festival will
open with a business meeting to be fol-
lowed by lecture. At II a. m. an I'M
usually good miscellaneous concert will
take up the time left in the morning
session, with a song recital to follow at
three o'clock in the afternoon. A very
beautiful chamber concert will be CIV
en- at four o'clock, and in the evening
symphony concert. similar to that of
last year, will be heard.
The composers concert is set for
Wednesday. All competitors are re-
quested to send their compositions to
the judges not later than March Is.
The lecture in the forenoon will be by
a noted lecturer upon the work to be
performed in the evening. A piano re-
cital is announced for the afternoon,
the pianist to be announced later. The
four o'clock concert will be given by a
chorus of women's voices, the society
to be announced later.
For the evening it is possible that an
operate work by the best company in
New York will close the festival.
Added to these events will be an ex-
h:bition of the newest inventions and
the novelties in musical instruments,
admission to which will be by a coupon
attached to the regular ticket.

fast; then that bearing-down feeling.
Her doctor says, ''cheer Up, you have
dyspepsia; you'll be all right soon."
But she doesn't get "al right" She
grows worse day by day, till all at once
she realizes that distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made mistake.
She has lost faith in him; hope van
ishes; then comes the brooding, NOR
bid, melancholy, everlasting BLUES.
Her doctor, if he knew, should have
told her and cured her, but he did not,
and she was allowed to suffer. By
chance she came across one of Mrs.
Pinkham's books, and in it she found
her very symptoms described and an
explanation of what they meant. Then
she wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice, feeling that she was
telling her troubles to a woman.
Speedy relief followed, and vigorous
health returned.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments
of women. 1t has been the standby
of intelligent American women for
twenty years, and the story recited
above is the true experience of hun
dreds OF women, whose letters of
gratitude are to be found On file in

Oyster Exhibition,
This year, as last, the commission
made an exhibition at the Danbury fair
through the instrumentality of Mr.. ID.
c. Sanford, engineer, who gathered a
collection of exceptional interest and
value, and one that attracted great at
tention. Henry C. Rowe, Esq, of New
Haven, president of the Oyster Grow
ers' association, had also an exhibit OF
great value at the Danbury fair, and
altogether there was a large amount or
interest shown in the business. The
exhibit was subsequently taken to
Bridgeport, where it remained in the
hall of the public library for month,
and was visited by crowds of people,
after which it was taken to Norwalk
for a similar purpose,
1T will thus be seen that the work
on the preservation of land marks has
been unusually large during the past
year. but in every case the commits
sioners are of the opinion that the
work was needed and that the replac-

economically done. The Importance of
these landmarks is great as no buoys
