Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-09-07

This is very busy day among the republicans of Waterbury. Although there is not much at stake. still they are out hustling and some of them are so busy they have not time to recognize members of their own fam flies. In the third ward the battle lies between the Third Ward Repub- lican club and what is termed as the regulars" The latter claim to rep resent the best forces in the party. while many say that they are nothing more than the henchmen of men high in public places and are working for their own personal ends and not for the good of the party. Durham has some friends in the ward, but they will be very scarce on the regulars ticket provided it wins out. In fact it is said that Dunham is down and out in all the wards. every ticket in the field being for Walter with the exception of the one in the first which carries the name of Albert F. Sherwood. This is a Durham ticket and its packers intend to make a stubborn fight.

POLITICAL POINTERS
Story Comes From New Haven That George Stobel is ShIieYalt Candidate

The New Haven Union of last even- Ing has the following to say about George Strobel:
 The machine democrats of New Ha- ven and New Haven county who have been advocating the nomination of Phil Hugo of this city for county sheriff will have their program thor Oughly upset and knocked gally-west if the schemes of some Waterbury democratic leaders get by all right.
 1t is the plan of these Waterbury democrats to place in nomination the name of George Strobel, one of the hustling young democrats of that live ly town. He is a brother of the late Chris Strobel, one of the most popu- lar democrats, in his time, in the Nau- gatuck valley.
 The argument in favor of George Strobel Is that he is strong politically and that 1t Is time the nomination for this office went to Waterbury or some other locality in the ralley. It was also argued that the democratic party should take up new man for the place and not pick up have-beens in the party. It is also held that the New Haven democratic machine, headed by Senator McGann and Gen. eral Registrar Foley, has been laying pipes to secure the nomination of Philip Hugo of this city.
 There is no objection to Mir Hugo personally. The only cry that will be raised against him Is that he would be the product of the democratic ma chine in New Haven, and not only the town of New Haven, but also the county of New Haven, Is absolutely disgusted with the selfish operations of this same New Haven machine.
 Nobody could be found in the fifth ward to take the field against M. F. Parkinson, and as a result he will have a complete walkoyer. This is far from what he wants. Parkinson is scrapper and would be better pleased to enter the fray with some foreman worthy of his steel rather than win hands down. It is under stood that he is for Durham. John B.. Doherty wants to go to Hartford as representative. but some of his ne!ghbors are not quite satisfied with him and unless the leaders of both sides change their minds he will have an uphill fight to get there, although ne had more friends among the rank and file than some of the so-called leaders. His friends say that his chances would be much better had he come out few weeks ago and taken aggressive stand in the makeup of the ticket.

 Attorney D. B. Kelley presided and John F. Garren acted as clerk. It was very harmonious session, so much so that the remark was made that the democrats of Waterbury were on better terms with them selves than at the present times. The delegates are for Lowe.
 Andrew J. Slater of Wolcott was in Waterbury yesterday and said that he is a delegate to the probate con- vention from his town and expects to be on hand to nominate Judge Lowe, just as he has done since he was first mentioned fort office. Mir Slater is close on to so, but there is lots of fight in him yet and he ex- poets to do a mans work for his party this fall, not only in Walcott, but all over the state.

WOMEN OF NEW HAVEN

realize the value of Paxtine Toilet Antlseptic. and as fast as one woman uses it she is sure to tell others of its value. Nothing has ever been found to equal Paxtine for curing all catarrhal and infamed conditions of the mucous membrane. such as sore eyes, sore mouth, sore throat, nasal and pelvic catarrh. In fact, Paxtine has s1 many uses in a womans toilet that it ts almost indispensable.
 Mrs B J. Trentman of St. Louis, Mo. writes: "The results which I ob- talned from using Paxtine as a local treatment for inflammation were won- derful. The cleaning, healing proper ties of the preparation have made a new woman of me, and in the toilet I never want t. be without it."
 Thousands of women are continual ly testifying to this same fact. Every woman in New Haven should try it on our guarantee to return your money if you are not satisfied. soc at drug glsts. For sample address The R. Paxton O., 75 Pope building, Boston, Mass.

FOR BOYS AND GIRLS; ALSO
 MEN AND WOMEN.


 The dear old friend whom we all love is mighty busy just now gathering his mammoth stock of presents for all of the little boys and little girls and all of the big boys and big girls. And he doesn't seem to oe bit tired. His blue eyes are full of merriment and as he comes across something especial ly appropriate he chuckles until his sides fairly ache and his long white beard gracefully moves around his face and shoulders adding beauty to his striking personality.
 Now everybody knows that we are speaking of Santa Claus, and every body is right. We are speaking about him and thinking about him too. We wonder what he is going to bring us. Most boys and girls are expecting skates and sleds, because it is going to be colder and there will be lots of fun on the snow and ice. And many boys are hoping that "Santy' will bring them a fine tool chest so that they can make things and build play houses in the yard It is getting to be the custom among the wise ones to prefer something that is of real use and benefit rather than articles which are only made to look at. But we must return to "Santy.'' Some big boys say: "Oh, come off: there's no such person as Santa Claus!" We'll, there is. and he is very much in evil dence just now. And a peculiarlty about him is that he is possessed of the power of ubiquity. He is not only alive and kicking but also he can be "here, there and the other place" all at once. And his six beautiful rein deer are also alive and kicking. But they don't kick Santy. It is only bad little boys who find fault with their presents that catch it.
 Now every boy and girl can And a good picture of Santa Claus and his six reindeer In this paper. He is seat ed in his chariot and is just going to alaht from the clouds and go into the famous hardware store of The J. E, Bassett & Co.,, and load up pre9a- ratory to distribution. He and the Bassett company are great friends By looking closely at the picture you can see the smile of satisfaction nn the good mans face. He is reading the list of attractions in the advertise ment. A kodak fiend happened to spy him and drew bead on him. Hence this picture and also hence this article.
