Waterbury Democrat., 1902-09-13

much to elevate the character of that body. No lobbyist would venture to approach him. His election would honor the district and be of great val ue to the state''
 MT Cary has large farm near the village of Ridgefield where he has built an old-fashioned colonial house on the highest point, which is land mark in the neighborhood and where he makes his home, surrounded by his family and friends, and is widely known as man of integrity, strength and character, and universally liked by his neighbors for his courtesy and justice to all.
 Judge Hubbard of Wallingford was the guest last evening of George Lil- ley.
 Notwithstanding the determined op- position of the republican organs to MT Lilley getting the nomination for con gressman-at-large anyone who cares to put up any money on it will get all he wants in this town. 1t is said there are thousands already wagered that he will get the nomination.
 A lively canvass is being made by local democrats for the place to be filled on the state central committee this year. There are several in the race, but the ones who are said to have the largest following are H. M. Rig ney and James Bohan. w. J. Weary is the present representative on the committee from this district, a very competent, honest man, but some of the boys think he doesn't do enough hnstling.
 The suggestion that the coming town election go by default and the present board of se1ectmen and constables hold over until next year, does not meet with much favor. While all agree that it is unfortunate that the election can- not be held on the same day with the state election, still the general opinion seems to be in opposition to letting the election go by default. One man who has no special interest in it said this afternoon that Waterbury does not want to establish such a precedent. He thought it might be repeated some time when there would be a great deal at stake. Well have to hold pri- maries," he said, Ito nominate repre- sentatiyes and it will not cost large sum of money to do the rest, a few hundred dollars, He said he didn't suppose anybody thought seriously of holding no town election.
 Things are bordering on open war in the republican camp over the turn ing down of F. ". Chesson for re- election on the town committed MT Chesson's friends are very indignant over the matter and declare that they will have Dan Daviss scalp at the first opportunity. It is said that Chesson was chastised because he was charged with voting for a democratic member of the bureau of assessment some time ago and in so doing repub- lican board of aldermen was forced to admit that it had elected a republican bureau of assessment. This is not considered anything among democrats, but it is an unpardonable offense on the other side of the house and the man who offends in that way is very apt to Joe made to feel the lash. Outside the machine operators, a little thing like that isn't minded among republi- cans no more than elsewhere, and to show Davis and his cohorts that they do not approve of what has been done, the rank and file of the party are talk ing of nominating Mr Chesson for rep resentatiYe.
 The political correspondent of the Hartford Times must be touring the state. The latest is from Essex and here is what he says about our towns man: That George. l.. Lilley of Wa terbury has put in some very effective work in this county is plainly evident. All the republican town delegations so far nominated are shouting in uni- son that Lilley is their choice as a candidate for the republican nomina- t1on of congressman at large, and there is not the slightest doubt but that the republican leaders in every town in the county are pledged to support the fortunes of the beef trust candidate from the Brass City, Hon | MT Frisbie of Hartford knows the above statement to be a fact, as- his personal representative who has been through the river and shore towns this week, had everywhere to face the statement: You're too late, we are pledged to Lil1ey.' MT Lilley has worked the newspaper press of the county to further his own candidacy with the skill of an old campaigner. The Shore Line Times of Guilfofd, the New Era of Deep River (Saybrook) are in every issue publishing wood cuts of MT Lilley, together with dou- ble-headed fulsome and hattering arti- 1 cles in which Mir LilleY's, claims for the coveted nomination are convinc- ingly related The articles are very similar in tenor and lead the keen ob- seryor to the conclusion that one and the same hand wrote all of them.
