View ON Campaign
FOR NEXT PRESIDEN7

ecutive and the Legislative and the
judicial functions of our government
municipal. state and national
must be kept distinct: and when A
city executive or state executive
or state attorney presumes TO say
what laws shall and shall not be- en-
forced. he is breaking through the
first principles OF our democracy.
and he becomes as great a danger
TO our country and To our liberties
and. indeed a greater danger than
the most predatory corporation in
the nation. And that vlstal fact is
TOO often forgotten"
There were no half measures
about this governor and his views
were not watered by timldity.
And what OF Mr.. Taft for presi-
ient?"
Il think the country trusts Mr..
Taft we'll. His speech seemed TO
me not 50 much the declaration of a
new policy as the Endorsement of an
old one. But Mr. Taft. of course. Is
"a man in whom the country has
great confidence: only "
Well. governor"
MAY BE MANY A SLIP.
"You see, he said, "a great many
things may happen fore next
July"
But supposing The con lit'on ana
temper of the country are then what,
they are today"
Then, said Governor Dawson. 81
think President ], oscvcli will a..
put in nomination again. If hc will
accept It, He has Initiated "a great
policy that this country In lorses.
and think this country believes he
is the best man to carry n thr1neh
TO a successful issue"
With Governor Dawson wer.
Charles w Swisher. his secretary OF
state; Upshur HigginbOtham. an at
torney AZ Charleston. w. Va: s. V.
Mathews, a state bank examiner.
Dr. \. b Herring a North Caro-

 Haesche.

RELIABLE MUzzLEs.
Standard English Ones of Wire for
 Hartford Dogs.

Hartford, Oct. 17.-Dr. c. P. Botsford, superintendent of the health board, and Chief of Police Gum had a conference to-day, concerning the kind of mug zles to be used when the new dog muzzllng order goes into effect. They decided 1t would be wise to adopt an official muzzle, one which would se- curely muzzle the dogs, and give ade- quate notice to that effect, so that per- sons would have no reason for improp- erly nuzzling their dogs. After in- specting nnu2zles of several makes they agreed upon what is known as the standard English muzzle, and only this muzzle will be recognized by the police as @ proper muzzle.
 The standard English muzzle Is a wire basket muzzle which completely encircles the nose, going over and un- der. This is the only muzzle which does this. There are many wire mue- zles which go over the nose only. The new muzzling order will go into effect at noon Sunday, and for the next day or two the dog warden will have to work overtime, and will probably need a wagon.
 Dog Warden Rustemeyer says that he believes that the effect of the order will be that great many people will keep their dogs tied up most of the time.

But Turned Up After Fourteen
 Years.
 Willimantic, Oct 17.--Mrs. Timothy Brennan of this city, a few days ago had a much unexpected call from a brother whom she had believed dead for the past fourteen years. When he rapped at the door of her home few nights ago and she saw him the shock was so much that she collapsed and a physician had to be called. She was i'll for a few days as a result
 Mrs. Brennan had received informa- ton from New York hospital fourteen years ago that her brother, Dennis Long, had died at the hospital and that his body had been buried. The letter gave the name of the cemetery and the number of the burial lot. As a matter of fact Dennis Long was very far from being dead all these years. He has been leading an active life in the south and it was while visiting an uncle in Denver, Colorado, that he heard his sis ter was living here. He decided to come east and visit her.

ROWE VICTIM OF MISTAKES.
Cost Him Nearly 200 Votes Through
 Counting Errors.

Mistakes In counting the vote in the last city election have been discovered which while they do not seriously affect the result, go to increase the majority by which one of the candidates was elected. The recount of the ballots in the Ninth and Tenth wards show that Controller Rowe was shy just 100 votes in the Tenth and 99 in the Ninth ward. The addition of, these votes brings Rowe's plurality over Lynch up to 3,o75 votes instead og 2,S76
 On account of the mistakes which have been discovered it is said that many of the candidates are asking for recounts of the votes cast for them to see if there are any mistakes af- fectinE them.

NEWS OF SOUTHINGTON
Development in the Lease CaseFareweI Reception to Rev. and Mrs. PeaSe-Notes.
Especial Journal and Courier News service.>

southington, Oct. 1.-The latest de- Nelopment in the supposed lease mat ter at the town hall is to the effect the three year leases have been grant ed the occupant of the south front room ever since 1874 when Orson w. Stow was first selectman. The lease is made out from the town of South tngton to Charles N. Hall for the pur- pose of running dry goods store. The lease Is given for three years from Aug. 19, 1874, and is signed by Orson w. Stow. This is certainly proof enough the recent report circulated that present instrument held by. Ed win G. Lewis is one of correct date and one which is antedated as most people believe. The fact that the first selectman is the agent of the town snakes his agreement binding upon the town.
