Acting Governor E. O. Keeler of ment of Charles H. Peix, Jr., of Dan- bury as county commissioner for Fair field county to ill the vacancy caused by the death of James B. Miller. The new commissioner is mayor of Dan- bury and has become quite factor in politics in that city. His appointment is victory for the Fifteenth district, which laid claim to the position, and gives Norwalk aspirants an unexpect- ed setback. Representative Ebert s. Adams of NOrwalk was in the running and as the story went few weeks ago had the call upon the place. Lieut. Gov Keeler, who as acting governor was to make the appointment, was reported to have assured the Norwalk representative that he would be the appointee if it were in his power to assist him. But the thought of Danbury losing the plum raised a ructiOn in the Eff teenth district, and hot battle for the place was precipitated. Mayor Peix received the support of Repub- lican leaders of the county who almost unanimously agreed that it would be appointment. Charles H. Peix, Jr., was born in Danbury, and is one of the youngest men in the state who has been successful in politics. His father l is one of the large hat manufacturers of that city. After graduating from l the public schools in Danbury young Charles Peix took trip around the country, spending some time in Cali fornia and going as far south as Mex ico. On his return home he prepared for Yale and graduated a few years ago. After graduating he entered his fathers office in the hat business and cast an eye politicalwise. Two years ago he was nominated by the republic: ans in Danbury for mayor and carried
 the election.
