Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-08-20

partake of the good things prepared for the guests the club held short meeting and elected Dr E. w. Good enough first vice-president, to suc- ceed the late John Blair. Gordon w. Russell was elected to the board of directors to succeed Dr Goodenough.
 Tax Commissioner Frank E. Healy will take charge of Senator Everett J. Lakes canvass for nomination as
 lieutenant-goyernor.
 Chairman Kenealy of the republican state central committee has issued the call for the republican state conven- tion in New Haven September 19 and 20.
 There will be meeting of the Sec- ond Ward Improvement association
 at the office of John J. Geraghty, Rooms 6 and [, Il East Main street, on Tuesday evening, August 21, at 8 o'clock for the purpose of perfecting a permanent organization, adopting constitution and bylaws and acting | upon any other business that may be brought before the meeting. Prop erty owners and taxpayers ofthe sec-
 ond ward are cordially invited to be present and join the organization. This evening there will be a meet ing of the delegates who favor Att torney James M. Lynch for senator from the sixteenth district. This meeting is called for the purpose of arranging a plan of campaign, as the primaries will take place in about
 two weeks, and as it seems there has been no definite plan of action de- cided upon. Mir Lynch's button is quite prevalent about the fourth and 1 fifth wards.
 If Martin M. Parkinson, who is
 half the republican party in the fifth | ward, is nominated for senator from the sixteenth district, nobody need
 be surprised Either he or Matthew
 Carolin, the other half, will get this
 much coveted plum. Both were at
 the clambake in Lakewood Saturday
 and both shook the hand that shook the hand of President RooseveltI a
 performance which quite delighted them. After the bake was over both were very busy shaking hands, so that the famous handshake should go down to- posterity either from the | groves of Lakewood or the shades of the classic sixteenth senatorial dis trict. 1t is toss up between them for the senatorial nomination and the odds are with MT Parkinson.
 At the clambake given by Con-
 gressman George L. Lilley to the
 Third Ward Republican club and others, both inside and outside of the republican party, 1t was reported that Attorney P. J. McMahon stands very good show of being chairman of the town committee, succeeding At torney John P. Kellogg. Mir Nc Mahon at present is member of the committee from the first ward and is credited with pulling one of the biggest individual political strokes in that district. There is scarcely thing he does not know about the game of politics and of his ability to rule his party committee there is no doubt.
 The retirement of Senator Sloper from the lieutenant-governor competition seems to the New Haven Palladium to clear the field for "a number of worthy aspirants who, while he was possibility, would not be induced to enter" The New Ha- ven paper continues: Among oth- CTS, the name of Frank B. Weeks of Middletown is favorably mentioned for the nomination. He has the re- publicans of his county solidly back of him, and has many friends in New Haven who believe that the place should go to Middlesex this time. This means that they would like to see Mir Weeks get the nomination for lieutenant-governor."
 Sloriff A. B. Durham of New Ha- ven county. in letter published Sat urday, vigorously contradicts the story that in 1902 he promised not to seek a reelection in 1906. He writes: Permit me to say am not candidate of any ring or 'machine,' but am candidate of the citizens and electors of New Haven county. I desire at this time to brand as a falsehood the statement that I ever agreed with any person or persons not to be a candidate for the sheriff of New Haven county. The false- hood should not be permitted to go any further on its misleading jour ney and I therefore say that if is false in every word and misleading to the citizens and electors of New Haven county"
 In another big type editorial arti- Gle. under the truly harmonious cap tion of Turn the Rascals Out" Un- cle Alexander Troup's New Haven paper says fin forcible language that Senators McGann and Shanley should go into retirement forthwith. The article continues: What the Union has to say here about Senators Mc- Gam and Shanley applies with just as much force and with just as much direction to Senator Doty of Bridge port, Senator Phelan of Waterbury and Senator Hogan of Hartford
