Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-09-20

harp Fight In Third Ward Machine
Force Won.

The republicans tried their hand at
lolding primaries last night in the
anne manner as the democrats have
cen conducting them for years, and
hey had lively time at the business,
4 iotably in the third ward, where the
ehir6 Ward Republican club, under
he leadership Of Generals Wood and
Syrne, gave battle to the machine
forces in command of Major Kelsey
and Lieutenant Peasley. 1t was a
sharp fight and there were times dur
ng the contest when no prudent man
would care to wager much which side
would come off victorious. Pastors
we're used freely, even Mayor Elton,
whose name headed both tickets, not
being spared. In the rounding up the
Hub fellows were routed horse and
foot and the machine was left in pos
session Of the field, even Adam Callan,
d valuable member of the present
board of aldermen, whom everybody
wanted to see returned, being saugh-
tered with all the others who went into

The mistake with reference to the
name of Michael E. Bowe on the
Hurley fifth ward primary ticket, has
been settled up in most satisfactory
manner Instead of Michael L. Bowe,
his brother, Edward H. Bowe clerk
in the employ of j. NJ. Burial & Co,
Bank street furniture dealers, will
make the run. He is a good, clean
fellow, well liked by all his neighbors
and will make an honest, efficient pub
lie servant
1t is said that everything is settled
Fnmong the democrats with the excep-
ton of the race over the nomination
flor city sheriff. This rests with the
tsecond ward and somebody who is in
Ia position TO know what the delegates
of that district will do say enough of
them will vote for NJ. ]. Smith to land
him. On the other hand, friends OF
iJohn W. Mcdonald feel confident that
he will be In 1t at the finish, and there
you aae. Leaving this place in dis
Ipute. 1t appears that the ticket will be
as follows: Mayor, w. E. Thoms; city
clerk, John e. Crazy; comptroller, NJ.
ID. Russell; town clerk, F. p. Brett;
lcollector, F. 7. Reeves; treasurer, z.
L. futile. OF course nobody can tell
what may turn up between now ana
Friday. James r. Lawlor has host
iof friends back of him, some Of whom
have by no means given up hope OK
getting him into the race for collector.
