MAYOR THAYER'S CHANGES
Mayor Thoms Gives His Views on tho
 Coming GubeTnadonaI Contest

AS the time for holding the state democratic convention draws near. interest in gubernatorial candidates increases, especially this year when 1t Is admitted even by republicans that with the right man at the head Of the ticket the democrats stand a good show to win the coming state election. Viewed from the road one would immediately conclude that Thayer will be the man, but of course nobody can tell for sure. Mayor, Thoms is confident that the Water pury delegation will be for Thayer. Speaking on the matter to-day, he said:
 T think that the Waterbury dele gation to the democratic state con vention will favor the nomination of Mayor Thayer of Norwich for gov ernor. As far as I am concerned shall do what I can to bring this about, not for any personal reasons, for 1 am not acquainted with him and wouldn't know him if he came into my office this minute. Two years ago Waterbury was opposed to him, but democratic sentiment here has radically changed since then. Certainly my own has. If there is any one thing the state of Connecti- cut needs, it Is some one at its head strong enough and honest enough to shake the powerful hold that the public utility corporations have upon legislation and judicial appointments. This is an issue that should be above politics, but it isn't It will be the clear cut issue of the state election this year, and Mayor Thayer, radical as he is, better than any man in the state represents the general feeling that the interests of the public should be studied more at Hartford. and that of the transportation, lighting and telephone companies less.
 Waterbury is very little interest ed in the question as to whether Mayor Thayer is closer friend of Bryan than some one else, or wheth- CT he is acceptable to the state com- mittee or not, and I feel very sure that Mir Bryan vii not attempt, nor will the democratic state committee be able, to dictate to the state conven- tion who its candidate for governor shall be.
 'I say all this without any person. al end in view. I am not a candi- date for any state office and shall not be. For the next year and a half my place is here. The responsibilities and duties of my present office are enough for any man, especially with the great public improvements we have on hand. Nor do I know of any one in Waterbury who is "a can didate for any such office. B ut do believe that the democratic delegates from Waterbury. representing the largest democratic city in the state, should and will have some influence in the state convention. and that this influence vii be exerted in favor of some one who represents something besides check book"

WANT 10 SEE LINE BUILT
Then Advocates of Town Plot Line
 Will Know it is There.

Once more the people of Town
 Plot and Brooklyn are on the anxious seat over the promise made Saturday evening by General Manager Sewell of the c. R. X l. company that he would have local line built on Town Plot before July l, 1907, providing the Brooklynites would agree to aid the company obtain other improvements that it is after The proposition was made to Attorney James NJ. Lynch and is suitable to the people across the bridge, but until something defi- mite is done the Broklynites will not take much stock in promises. Attorney Lynch was to meet Mir Sewell this morning to draw up the agreement, but up to II o'clock the trolley mag nate had not appeared. The company will build a line on condition that it be allowed to double track Bank street from Wards Flats to James street From Bank street single track will be laid on James and Clark street to the Town Plot school. The line will be about one mile in length and the max mum grade will have to be s per cent. It is understood that this proposition of the company is based on the grounds that the city will agree to the company's terms in regard to Robbins street, the double tracking of E Main street. Whether the mayor will agree to this remains to be seen. The Brook lyn people or at least those that have been dickering with the trolley com pany are not so sure of the line as 1t would appear from some reports. Mir Lynch said this morning that he would not feel certain of line on Town Plot until he saw it built. So many promises have been made in the past by the company that the residents across the bridge feel somewhat du- bious about these promises. Besides there are persons to reckon with now. other than the trolley company and if the people in the east end imagine that they are to be left in the cold, they are sure to make holler. If everything goes through" said Robert Walker in Brooklyn this morn- ing. we will buy up all the fireworks in town and headed by band will march to the mayors house to sere- made him. Whether there will be any chance to use red fire is yet ques- tion, but at any rate the Town Plot ters are more hopeful than they have been in some time.

THE BLAKESLEE FARM
We'll Known Business Man Has One to Be Proud of.

Ralph Blakeslee, who is credited with conducting the largest and best equipped trucking business in New England, is doing something in the farming line, too, and appearing to be making success of it. A couple of years ago MT Blakeslee bought the Jesse Doolittle place on the Frost road, consisting of a neat farm house, several barns and 175 acres of land, about 100 or more of which is wood land and the rest pasturage, meadow land and tillage. More rocks than po- tatoes grew in some of the lots and in other places sumach had the up- per hand of grass. Mir Blakeslee didn't like this and went to work taking out the rocks and hewing down brushwood until he finally suc- ceeded in getting about seventy-five acres cleared so that it looked like rolling prairie land and yields abun- dant crops of hay, rye and almost everything else that grows on the farm. Of course it cost money to do all this and he is far from being
 trough yet. Since he got the farm he has carted 5000 loads of manure on to it besides large quantity of other kinds of fertilizer and has had at times as many as fifty men and as many teams operating there. Rocks that have grinned through the surface since the Lord knows when have been blasted and carted away, swamps that one couldn't walk through have been drained and filled in so that at the present time if MT Doolittle could come back and get a look at his farm he wouldn't know it.
 The garden is the finest in Water bury, and contains patches of all kinds of vegetables. When I had all these things in," said MT Blakeslee to a reporter of the Democrat who went over the place with him Sat urday, instead of shutting up my chickens I concluded to let the birds roam at large and fence in the gar den and as result the chickens do much better outside fence than they would housed and the garden doesn't mind it at all." That is new plan. Usually folks confine the chick ems, but in this case the opposite plan has been adopted and it works like charm, as anybody could see by the condition of the garden truck that smiled inside high wire net ting fence and the happiness of the chickens that basked in the sunshine on the roadside.
 Some of the land is very high and commands a view that enables one to see the surrounding country as far as the eye can carry. The Mad river rattles down through portion of the property, furnishing excellent water facilities for cattle and other pur- poses. MT Blakeslee says he isn't half through yet and that after another year or so he expects to work some- thing in the neighborhood of hun dred acres of meadow land that machine can run over without hit ting against stone, large or small. The property is in charge of con- petent man, who in addition to look ing after four or five beautiful COWS, the work on the farm, and judging by the appearance of things about the place he is no novice at the business.

POLICE COURT DoINGs.
Judge Peasley Had Pretty Fun
 House This Morning.

It seemed as though the lawyers who had business in the city conrt to-day worked by the hour, for the disagreeable temperature of the room did not have any effect on their ora tory. They considerably added to the hot air in the room. Judge Peasley presided. .
 Edward West was committed to the county home, and for intoxication Michael English was fined $5 and costs. Andrew Zaska $10 and Pat rick Calvin, who was released from jail Saturday morning went down again for thirty days.
 The case that took the greater part of the morning was against Patrick Dunphy, Michael Healey and Edward Haggerty for cruelty to a horse own- ed by Edward Bradley of North Main street. Healey and Haggerty were al- so charged with intoxication. The trio were arrested on Bridge street about II o'clock yesterday by Officer Stevens. A warning had been sent out that horse and concord buggy had been obtained under false pre- tences from Bradley's stables. There were two others with the accused, but they got away while Officer Stew ents was telephoning. One of them is James Cullotin and from the evidence 1t seemed as though it was he who got the team. The horse was not beat en. but it was tired out completely. All were discharged on the charge of cruelty to animals, but Healey and haggerty were fined s10 and costs for intoxication. The case against John O'Donnell was settled for $50, Mrs 0'Donnell paying one half the amount.
 There was a shooting affray in Brooklyn last night in which John Maccio, Giovanni Laudati. Orazio Di- Napoli and Rocco and Duigi Capa- dano participated. One bullet struck "a daughter of Laudati on the outside of the left ankle. cutting the leather of her shoe and two struck Laudati himself in the head.
 The trouble began over cards and beer. It was in Laudati's house 1t oc- cured and he is charged with as- sault with intent to kill DiNapoli. The others are charged with assault. Laudati was held in bail of s1,O00 and the others in $500.
 Michael Leonard got out his shoot ing iron last night and began re- volver target practice on Railroad Hsll street. He had fired but one shot when Ofieer Sam Walsh pinched him.

A Word to Election Judpes.

As IL is anticipated that an at.
tempt will be made next Tuesday to
prevent citizens, who are qualified
and registered voters, from casting
their ballots, word to the election
judges will not be amiss. The laws
of Idaho regarding the duties of
judges of election are PLAIN and
simple. Copies of the election laws
are furnished each set of judges BY
the county clerk. These laws are
the sole guide of The officers IN the
performance of their duties. When
they attempt to 60 beyond the law,
they interfere with the rights of
