Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-09-27

in attendance and talked at some length on their love for the Italian people and promised to do nice things for them in case they get con- trol of the city government. Of course the meeting would not be worth attending If the portly form of Hon Abner P. Hayes could not bs seen among the distinguished guests. MT Hayes talked on the importance of the coming election and empha-s sized the necessity of putting John Selwell at the helm.
 The party organ announced this morning that Sewell had taken the stump. That is true, but If his words do not sink deeper into the hearts of his hearers than they did last night he'll never get there. MT Sewell and all the other nabobs who expect to have the trolley magnate pull them into office dropped into Senator Hurleys cafe last night and made merry for season. Of course they were treated courteously and got something good, but they didn't make any converts and it is doubt- full if they changed anybodys mind in the rounds they have made in other places, either. To be sure they are jolly good fellows and can whoop them up all right and conse-. quently any business man would ola int ,NIo Say, MT Sewell, why in thunder don't you announce your line of march in advance so that folks may have chance to get around and meet you?
 The board of registration will be in session tomorrow from o'clock in the forenoon to [ in the evening for the purpose of making new vot- CTS. If your name is on the list you should make it point to be on hand as early as possible. The board will meet in the police court room in the City hall building
 It seems to be understood that James c. Writings successor on the board of agents of the Bronson E- brary is to be Lucien F. Wolff, brother of Captain Alfred Wolff, who was identified with the old school system for years, long before consoli- dation was thought of MT Wolff is considered to be a first class man for the place. But there are others men, toned, among them Attorney F. P. Guilfoile and Attorney T. F. Car mody, both capable young men.
 A republican member of the board of aldermen, whose voice is heard at almost every meeting, told a Demo- crat reporter to-day that Mayor Thoms will De reelected for one req son, that MT Sewell is not the popu- lar choice of his party, bu. of the machine. And for another reason which is, that Mayor Thoms gave tue people firso/ class administration, far better than any of Mir Sewell's most ardent supporters expect hs could give.
 James C. Whiting is not candidate for either the board of education or the board of agents of the Silas Bron- son library. He so stated this noon to Democrat reporter. He said he has been about twelve years in the harness and he proposes to take a little time to himself in the future but whenever the democratic party has use for bis voice or pen, both as l eloquent as pen or voice could be, they shall always be at the service of the party. MT Whiting is busy man these days. The clock shop where he is q general foreman is running over time and he does not have time to attend meetings held in the night time. MT Whiting will be missed from the board of agents of the Bron- son library. He was the means of es- tablishing some good features ill that institution and he took more interest in it on behalf of the reading public than many of the older members. Ev- erybody regrets that he is not a can didate for the board of education for it is well known that he is just the kind of man needed there
 It appears that the $500 which was up ready to be placed on Sewell did not materialize yesterday. The only big bet of the day. said to he record ed was that of Charles Egan and Tim othy Brennan, the former taking Sew ell's end for S300. The bet was made at even money. The $500 which was said to be going begging in Brooklyn Wednesday could not be found last night, and the supporters of Thoms says it is stage money.
