Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-08-25

hel dto-morrow and it goes without saying that they will attract cons1d- erable attention. The primaries are the proper places to get an expression of opinion from the party regarding its choice for public officials, and aIter this opinion has been rendered ana made public 1t should be final. Men who cannot abide by the will Of ma- Jorities have no business in any organ ization. Everybody who will go to the polls will know who the different tickets were put up for so that there will be no opportunity to deceive any body, even if people wanted to. Ihe {caH issued by, Chairman Burns ot tpe town committee is as follows: Notice is hereby given that the democratic primaries will be held on Friday, August 26, 1904, for the pur- pose of electing delegates to conven- tions to elect delegates to the stare, congressional and probate conven- t1ons, and to elect delegates to the town and senatorial conventions.

 The democratic, town convention at Norwich passed this resolution: "Re- solved. That the delegates to the state convention. chosen by this caucus, are instructed to work for the nomination of Hon Charles F. Thayer for gov ernor, and to continue to vote in favor / of his candidacy until the nomination is determined by the convention"
 There is lively race for the demo- cratic nomination for registrar of voters There are three candidates in ; the field, namely, John Flanagan, the present incumbent of the office; James A. Hynes, who formerly held the posi- tion, and Henry Corners, who was as- sistant to former Comptroller Michael Russell.
 Fourth ward democrats are some what displeased at the order of things which puts them at the mercy of the fifth distIdct with reference to the nomination Of candidate for senator. They would much prefer the direct Tz4 .olr wards state at the polls the man or their choice. Probably that would be an Improvement over the present plan, but until after such an arrange n1ent has been reached the ward should take things as it finds them 3and work tooth and nadl for some { thing better. It would be a good way out of the trouble if an arrangement could be arrived at which would give the senate to the fourth and fifth wards in their turn and probably that is what will happen. If the fifth takes 1t this time 1t would be but fair to give the fourth show next time.
 Who'll be the republican candidate for senator in the fifteenth district? The republicans are not concerned about the other senatorial nomination because they can't get look in at it. Many want to see MT Tracy re-nomA snated for the senate in the repuDli- can district, but this proposition is being stubbornly opposed by men who prefer H. Fl. Peck and others who are bound to trot out Judge Cole. T G1ope,a said a gentleman tlnis morning who is in the thick of the fight, with Cole as his standard bearer, 'that our man will win Iout. Cole is the best man we could send there To be sure, I know that the first thing the whips fwould do would be to try and get him to take the oath Of obedience. He wouldn't do this and then you might , expect to see a little sport. Cole \ would be worse than a bull in ch1na shop in the senate. The republicans know this and are not letting grass Angrow under their feet in their mad dance about town to keep him out Talk about Harry Durant, but he isn't ln it with Cole and they know 1t. He
 loesn't care rap for the Kelloggs or Burpees and would jusr as soon take "a fall out of George Ldlley as anybody else. Tell every democrat you know to vote for his delegates at the repub.
 ican caucuses."
 The republicans are a very gene1. Ous set of fellows with each other and as result of this good fellowship nearly all the members of the board of aldermen will be ex-mayors before their present terms of office expire Mayor Elton went to the mountains some time ago and Alderman Blakes lee stepped into his shoes and the people doffed their hats to him as Acting Mayor Blakeslee. When MI Blakeslee got pain in his arm hand shaking and a crick in his neck bow ing he pulled for the shore and start ed off on a cruise along the Sound His absence sent Alderman George M
