THE REPUBLICAN, PRIMARIES

Last Saturday saw the largest
vote ever polled in this county at
a Primary Election. In fact, Mr..
Lippincott, the nominee for
Sheriff received as many votes
as were necessary but few
years ago to elect Sheriff at the
general election. This does not
seem to show any lack of interest
on the part of the Republicans of
the county. The ticket named
is, without exception, the strong
est possible to have been made.
The nominee for Prothonotary is
a we'll known Attorney of Will
mington, in every way competent
for the position. Mr.. Browns
record in the Levy Court for four
years is a voucher for his capac-
ity for the Office Of Clerk of the
Peace. The denomination of the
present County Treasurer and
Comptroller is evidence to the
people that these departments of
county government will be well
taken care of. For Coroner, Mr..
Gaynor is we'll fitted and his large
vote gives evidence that he is 50
considered.
The nominees for Levy Court
Commissioner are particularly
strong, and this is the important
office, after all. With competent,
honest Com missioners, to see to
the assessment, collection and
expenditure of the large sums of
taxes raised every year, the tax
payers will be better satisfied
than with men of whom they are
suspicious. Every one of the
seven men named last Saturday
fills all these specifications, and
have proven by their successful
management of their own bust.
ness their capacity to manage
the public's. 1t is fairly safe
rule that successful man will
succeed in a position of this kind.
The ticket chosen by the Re.
publicans of St. Georges Hun
dred could hardly be improved
upon. For Senator, Mr.. Cor
bits term in the lower brar CT of
the General Assembly will be of
use, and with the exceptionally
weak candidate named to-day by |
the Democrats, there can be no
doubt of Mr.. Corbit being elected. |
Mr.. Pharo will make as good a
Representative as did his prede.
cessor, Mr.. Corbit. No higher
praise can be accorded.

town the past couple of days endeav. bring to organize the, colored voters into a democratic organization They are MT Sheldon and MT Mar tin sent out by the democratic na- tional committee. They are meeting with much success throughout the state and In New Haven this week had big rally The colored voter. in Waterbury have been for the most part republicans, but 1t is said a large number of them will vote the democratic ticket this year. They may hold rally before election day.
 On the evening of Saturday, Octo- Der S1. just three days before cleo tion there will be another rally of the democrats when Burke Cochran will be heard here on the issues of the day. Mir Cochran has been heard in Waterbury few times. There is also possibility of bringing Frank s. Monett here before the campaign closes. Mir Monett was att torney general of the state of Ohio and as much as prosecuted the Stan, dard Oil in that state for accepting rebates. In the Democrat a few days ago he stated that the reason he left the republican party was because the republican party in the state of Ohio allowed the Standard Oil company to name the judges for the courts and when he found this out he joined the democratic party. Mir Monett speaks in Hartford oL Friday evening October 30, and is possible he will come to Waterbury before the campaign closes.

Lenaon Rskere In 1910.

In 1910 we find the following Bow bakeresses accused of selling halfpen- ny loaves deficient in weight: Sarra Foting, Christina Terrice, Godiyeva Foting, Matilda de Bolingtone, Chris tina Prichtt, Isabella Sperling. Alice Pegges, Johanna de Countebrigge and Isabella Pouveste.. One wonders why the husbands were not summoned. In a similar case in 1916. when Agnes Foting's bread was seized, 1t was "ad- Judged that her bread should be for feited and given to the prisoners in Neugate because her husband did not come to avow (own) the bread" Are we to assume that in the absence of the husbands the bread was merely forfeited without the infiiction of a fne? An indication of the importance of the breadmakiag business is also found In an enactment of the reign of Henry III. to the effect that severy cart of Bremble Brombley by Bowl or stevenhethe Cstepney) that comes into the city with bread shall pay each day . halfpenny."-et James' Gasetts.

So lively in fact that items of news are distorted. of course for party reasons. A rumor was publish ed that number of democrats in a certain shop formed pool of $50 to bet on Lilley.
