 The Economic league of Waterbury met yesterday and sat down hard on the third ticket side show inaugurated by the republican party heelers in the interest of Alb Dunham. The demo- crats of Waterbury supported Char ters because they were led to believe that he was an honest representative of labor, but now that he has turned tail and will run on split ticket and thus make of himself a tool in the hands of the republican machine the people of Waterbury have no use for bim. What changes a few weeks bring around! A short time ago Mayor Charters could have anything the democrats of Waterbury could give him. To-day some of the best men in the party wouldn't care to meet his honor lest they should be tempted to lay violent hands upon him. The invitation to take part in the thlfd ticket convention was brought up at the meeting of the league yester- day and was indefinitely postponed by unanimous vote. To offset the in- dlgnat1on of democrats towards the man from Ansonia the republicans are coming to the rescue and declaring that Charters is all right Huff sed." The league voted to indorse John Flanagan as candidate for democratic registrar of voters.
 The democrats held an enthusiastic neeIng yesterday and appointed q committee of five from each ward to look after the interests of the ticket to-day. Another meeting will be held next Sunday afternoon. Peter B. Reeves presided and NJ. J. Ryan act ed as clerk.
 ne republicans will not hold their senatorial convention tomorrow in this city. In conversation with the lights of that party it seems to be inc general opinion that MT Schaffer. s11- perintendent of the rubber trusts fac tories i'll Naugatuck will be the nomi- nee. ' --1e.
 The statutes is plain regarding the penalty of printing or handling bal lots continuing the names of parties other than the regular nominees of the party mentioned on the head of the ticket, so that it remains to be seen whether the law means anything or not. Both tickets voted to-day by the democrats cannot be right The managers of whichever shall be de- clared illegal as we'll as the house that printed the ballots, shall be liable to fine of $500 or imprisonment for q year.
 During his visit to New Haven. Fri day, for conference with party man. agers on the political outlook, the Hon Melbert B. Cary said that as far as he, had any information the prospects are favorable for the election of the demo. cratic state ticket. Referring to the announcement that the republicans are to bring Secretary Shaw and Senator Hanna to Connecticut to explain the claims of the republican administra, tion for continued support MT Cary remarked that it would be interesting to hear their excuses for the doIngs or he trusts.

 John P. Kellogg, chairman of the republican town committee, and half dozen other nabobs of that party d. most tainted on the green this morni .g when some one said that in case John l Flanagan and James A. Hynes should l each receive more votes than John | Blair. the republican candidate for ] registrar, both would be elected and ! MT Blair would have to step down and | out. The remark staggered MT Kel- | logg and his friends and it was some time after hearing before any one in E the crowd was able to speak As f soon as Mir Kellogg caught his breath he hurried off to look up the law on the question while the others leaned against one of the mighty elms and awaited the return of the attorney E with much interest. Finally MT Kel- logg reported that the country was safe The question is covered by statute so E that no matter what way the vote E goes the fight will be confined to the [ democrats When the crowd heard E this they went on their way rejoicing.
 Notwithstanding the fact that we are f on the eve of state election, very lit E fle is being said about the question
 
 do the voting. The electors are too much taken tip with rhe battle now raging between capital and labor OH the coal fields and have no time to con sfder the political situation. Every | body is pleased with the showing made E before President Roosevelt by Presi- dent Mitchell, who stated the case for the mine workers, while on the other hand one hears nothing but harsh words for the mine owners, who stub bornly refuse to submit the case to ar bitration by the president or anybody else. Why they practically told the president to mind his own business and that they would attend to theirs. The conduct of the mine owners to. ward the head of the nation shows what we are coming to and should be a warning to every man 10 use his bal lot at the coming election in opposition to the candidates of the party that is responsible for this condition of affairs The capitalists have now reached point where they can afford to show their teeth to the president of the United States as well as to the hum blest mine worker in the country, and rv71Qfa fhffpc havra raachod thai afaoa
