The re- publicans pretend that they are con fident of victory, but those on the inside are we'll aware that they are very much in doubt of the result and the wise heads admit that they can not win without thorough mix-up in the democratic party and labor or independent democratic party which will catch a lot of honest but misguided working people, who may not know that i'll supporting 1t they are lending helping hand to the party that has the price of flour and other breadstuffs so high that almost anything fit to eat will soon be q lux ury on the table set for working man and his family It is hardly probable that the scheme will be made to work in Waterbury. but in case 1t should be tried, democrats and others who are not too shortsighted altogether will not be likely to bite at the bait.

THE. AGE QUESTION.
Military Enrollmsnt nen Get nany
 8 Cold Shoulder.

The persons who are engaged in talk ing the military enrolment are finding 1t no easy talks. The chief difficulty is encountered In trying to secure tho ages of the men whose names are given them. The mother or wife pleads a surprising ignorance on this point. One woman told one of the canvassers that she couldn't give the ages of her children if she were given $100 She might make guess if sucn a sum was given her. Another iI- quired in an angry voice when asked her husbands age why the canvasser didn't call at her husbands place Of business and find out. The age ques- ton is certainly a ticklish subject to the women.
