Thinks Committee Did Right.

A. D. MARTIN, ESQ.,,
Dear SRI have read with interest
the controversy as to your Domina-
tion by the Executive Committee.
The sole real question is whether the
election, or rather nomination, of Mr..
Farr ended the contest for School
Commissioner. If so any man or any
number of men could come out as
candidates. But, in my opinion, if
Samuel B. George or Frank w. Shealy
had put himself out of the way as Mr..
Farr did, then the Executive Commit
tee would have declared another con-
test between the survivor and J. T..
Buff. If thiseis the proper conclusion
then there was no use for you to run
the race over as you have had no
competition. It would be unjust for
you to have to face new man. If
there are any who wanted the Office
why did they not come out at first? 1
think the County Executive Commit
tee took the proper view regardless
of the reasons for their sction. Ex-
cuse my seeming oficiousness if offen-
siye to you.
Yours very truly,
J. F. LYLEs.

Executive Committee Upheld.

The action of the County Demo
cratic Committee in naming A. D.
Martin for County Superintendent of
Education has met with practically
the unanimous approval of the voters
of Lexington county. Of course there
are always those who oppose any
movement. The kicker has his place
and there is one qualification which
he always displays and that is to kickA
Mr.. Martin has every quality to make
him an ideal superintendent and we
predict that he will do so. But few
less than majority of the voters
spoke in his favor at the close of the
high toned gentlemanly campaign
against the lamented Farr, receiving
:at his home precincts a handsome
vote. This speaks well for the man
where he is best known.
It is the opinion of all whom we
have approached that Martin would
have Overwhelmingly defeated any
man who might have offered against
him in an extra primary. Then why.
put the county to the expense. and A.

 Winsted. Aug, 21--Nothins can be said which has not been said about the ag- gressive anti-Lilley movement In this town, but a new phase of the situa- ton has arisen. It did not have it's origin In Winsted. It is not surpris- ing, however, that 1t finds hearty sup port among those actively interested in the local campaign.
 Ii was learned today from source of unquestloncd authority that there Is movement on foot to place cit izens' ticket in the field if George l.. Lilley Is nominated. Those interested In the movement are not ready to con- cede Lilley's nomination, but In order to he prepared for such possible con tlngency the preliminary steps are be- ing taken to place an Independent tick ct before tho people of Connecticut,
 Those interested in the movement do not believe that Lllley can be elected if nominated, and they are anxious to furnish the republican voters of Con nectlcut an honest protest which shall have individuality and character. and they believe that the best means to do this Is to nominate an Independent ticket. They know that the sentiment against Mir.

To-day Australians had an opportunity to see the men who brought the ships in safety thus far on their voyage around the world. They were met by the prime minister, Alfred Dcakin, and the other minis ters of the commonwealth, the prem fer of New South Wales and his min isters, the lord mayor of Sydney and members of the corporation.
 After greetings had been exchanged a procession was formed, the lord mayor and officials and the American admirals with their staffs occupying carriages.
