POLITICAL POINTERS.
Socialist Orator Entertained a Large
Crowd Last Night.

Henry Jagar of New York was in
Waterbury yesterday in the interest
of the socialist labor party, and spoke
last night at the corner of Grand and
Bank streets. He wanted to expound
his theories in Exchange place, but
Chief Egan would not allow him to
build a platform in that crowded
thoroughfare unless the mayor said
so. Mr. Jagar waited for about two
hours for an interview with his honor
and didn't see him after all, the may
or leaving by way of the front door
while the campaign speaker was oc-
cupying chair in the clerks office.
He suspected that the mayor gave
him the slip purposely and made no
bones of giving his opinion of a man
who treats a citizen in that manner.
Mr. Jagar was asked by a Democrat
reporter If he thought his party had
any show of winning out in this cleo
tion and frankly admitted that he had
not. He admitted that running OF
candidates other than those on the
democratic and republican tickets
helped the republicans, but said that
was something that had to go on un-
til the public got educated up to a
sense Of their duty and turned en-
masse to the socialist labor party. At
ter failing to even get his eie upon
Mayor Elton he finally consented to
content himself with delivering an
address near the big tree at Grand
and Bank streets Mr. Jagar is a law
student and makes first rate spell

ven workers see an opportunity for

about $4,000. Mr. Studley's term,
however, runs to June 1905, and he
may not be the man the anti-Cleaves
