Waterbury Democrat., 1902-09-12

time Mayor Charters and Mir Stiohel had the honor of an introduction to each other, notwithstanding that they have been reported as holding confabS about one thing and another on and off for several years past. The session was said to have been brought about through the efforts of Senator Ken nedy, who is said to have dogged Mayor Charters so persistently during the past few weeks that the Ansonla man saw his Naugatuck neighbor at every turn of the road, and received ip- vitations to meet him almost any place. Woodmont. the summer resi- dence of the senator from the fifth senatorial district; Waterbury, the home of MT Strobel, or Naugatuek, which senator Kennedy delights to call his native town. But the Ansonia man turned deaf ear to the appeal for a conference until recently, when he con- sented to have a talk with q few of the boys in Naugatuek. they had a conclave. but what transpired while the doors were closed is something no body knows for sure, though alleged minutes of the meeting are common property about town to-day. Of course it is not necessary to introduce Mayor Charters and Chris Strobel to the pub, U G. atty nomination on the democratic ticket. Another gentleman, a fellow named Tomlinson of Milford, is in the race. too, so that we have three-cor nered fight on, and, although Mayor Charters was rather tardy in getting onto the track and has no barrel. still he seems to be neck and neck with his competitors, and there are those who take the ground he will win out at the conyent.on.
 But that's different matter. It is said that the Naugatuck conference de- veloped the fact that Charters has about thirty-iye delegates pledged to stand by him no matter what happens, while all MT Strobel can bank on is twenty-two. It was hinted that Stro- bel can secure some additional men, but that he does not care to do this un- less he can be assured that Charters will -ssist him in swinging Waterbury, Ansonia, Derby, Wallingford and any other forces he-may have into line It seems Charters didn't see things through the same spectacles as MT Stro- bel and his friends and instead of re- tiring and helping Strobel he insisted that he thought things should work the other way, seeing that he had more delegates than the Waterbury man. He was reminded that Strobel could add to his strength while in all probability he (Charters) had every man he could muster up at the present time, and some w1iom he was counting on might be induced to change sides. 1t is said that this nettled Charters and he de- claimed with such vehemence it was feared outsiders might catch on and soon after the door was unlocked and 6A ioz rc1, <a4xf ferent ways.
 One of Mir Strobel's henchmen said to-day that Charters was little short ,sof baby in politics. He claims to ex- ercise no influence with his delegates and frankly admits that they are not at his disposal.
 This is bare outline of the story The rest of it would not look just right in cold type.
 Norwich, Sept 12.--Martin D. Jen- sen, democrat, was elected city treas urer here yesterday, receiving 206 ma Jority over Charles D. Whitaker, re publican. The election was made ne cessary by the recent resignation of Henry W. Tibbits, republican, who had held the office for II years.
 
 County Sheriff Dunham was in town to-day with the glad hand. The pur- pose of his visit was to look after his fences
 As proof that Candidate Tomlinson has not all that he claims, he Is re ported to have been in Wolcott yes terday feeling the pulse of the dele gates from that town.
 Mfr Morse of Meriden wno is a can didate for the democratic congress sional nomination for this district. was in town to-day calling upon the delegates to the convention.
 This is an opportune time for appli- cants to be made electors to get about getting ready for the meeting of the board of registration which will be held on Friday, October IT and adjourned from time to time un- til Friday October 24 Parties who will mature after October 24 and be- fore election day, can be made on the day preceding the electors meeting. In order to be eligible one must have his name on the list ito be made'' HIS dpplieS lO peOpie W0O were born here as well as to others. All must be registered. It is not any too soon to take hold of this matter and see that every man who is entitled to the franchise is put in possession of it before the state election takes place.
 Regarding the democratic guberna- torial nomination. says the New Haven Register, it is conceded by the most impartial and obsryant democrats that Melbert B. Cary will be the chosen one, notwithstanding that as this pros peet becomes daily more evident the supporters of. Mir Thayer claim that his nomination is assured. The latter with characteristic modesty, say they have secured more than half the dele gates from New Haven county, a large minority from Fairfield county. Wind ham county solid except Windham town itself. New London county all but New London town, and so on. Cary men laugh at these claims and with evident reason. but one thing can be stated positively, that Mir Thayer is a candidate for no other than the guber material nomination. Congressman-a at la'ge or attorney general has no charms for him.
