Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-10-26


 here Father Slocum came here to at- tend number of banquets and con- ventions, and he was always received with enthusiasm. = New Haven Union.
 The news is flashed across Connec- ticut to-day that the state has lost friend and brother. For that is the meaning of the death of the Rev Will liam J. Slocum of Waterbury. That he was one of the foremost clergy men in the Roman Catholic church is a. fact better known but less es- sential. He was a man greater than any church, higher than any creed. The first tenet of his belief and of his practice was the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. To him man was man, and to every man his soul reached out. Simple, unassuming, modest, he saw one of natures noblemen, man whose presence was a benediction. whose personality was an inspiration. To have known him is an experience to treasure in memory. In the un- usual but the best sense of the term, he was great man.
 That these are not mere words thousands of the people of this state, of every church and with no visible church connection, will bear witness. He has been pre-eminently a man among men. Always leader and an uplifter, he has come close to the heart of persons of all sorts and con- ditions and his touch has ever been the seed of love. In public life he has been broad without lowering any standard, in his communion with people aside from his direct church work he has met them as an equal by lifting them to his level. In his presence one forgot that there is such a thing as sect or creed, and recognized only that of the one church universal, the earthly revela- ton of the infinite and eternal good, here was a true priest and prophet. No man in the church history of this state has done more to rage the wall which once existed between Catholic and Protestant, or has done 1t so unconsciously.
 And yet he was eternally true to his own church. He believed in it, and he represented it at its noblest and best. His life work has been in it's ways, and gloriously noble work it is. He has been spoken of as belonging to Connecticut, and so he was. But his fame and love have been far wider than this state, and wider still will be the circling ring of real regret that will start from the knowledge of his passing New Ha- ven Register
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-10-26

The news of the death of the Rev Father Slocum to-day at Waterbury was received in this city with much sorrow. Father Slocum formerly re- sided here and was held in very high esteem, not only by Catholics, but by all who knew him. He was very agreeable in his manners and made a great many friends. Since leaving here Father Slocum came here to at tend number of banquets and con- ventions, and he was always received with enthusiasm. - New Haven Union.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-10-26

A great many citizens of the state |of Connecticut, who never came un- der the priestly administrations of
 her Slocum of Waterbury, will
 mourn his death equally with those
 who knew him both as man and a priest. Through sheer force of char |acter and faithful service to the
 church, which he dignifed by his
 connection with 1t, he rose to a dis tinguished official position in 1t, and
 was held in the highest esteem by all. Father Slocum was man of fasci- hating personality from whatever point of view one approached him. Deeply religious in his convictions and feelings that side of his nature served to bring out the deep, rich Itints of his broad humanity. He was a man of influence and priest of lauthority because he was at all times moved by love of mankind. and a keen understanding of the weakness Iof human nature. He knew himself first and that led to his acquiring knowledge of the men he came into contact with, the two influences working constantly together to widen the sphere of his usefulness and to develop the tenderer sides of his own nature. It was this unusual combina- tion of striking characteristics which
 made him one of the recognized men of Waterbury. force for good and for progress which that city could i'll afford 10 have withdrawn. No singie community has ever been known to | be overstocked with men of the fibre lof William ]. slocum, though they arc ali at times needed for the pub lie good.

CERTIFICATES ISSUED
BY COMMISSIONERS
Certificates of Election Issued to Successful Candidates in
Recent Campaign Error in Addition gives
Certificate to Zamora

correctly added total 1886 votes.
The error shows that Zamora is
elected by a majority of % votes,
when in reality Baca received g
majority of 72 votes. The error
has been called to the attention
of the clerk, but after the COM
missioners had already adjourned
and the certificates of election
had been issued to Mr.. Zamora.
What action if any, will be taken
by the commissioners in the MAJ
ter is not known at present.
Friends Of Baca claim that if tie
certificate given Mr.. Zamora is
not recalled, and given him,
mandamus proceedings will lie
instituted to compel the com
missioners to do so.
The matter is thought to be
merely an error in addition and
no charges of fraud or crooked
ness are connected with tie
matter.

remarks from tourists and trav-
cling men as to the splendid
stock carried.

That paying crops have been
raised in the valley this year is
evidence by the amount Of hay,
grain, beans and other products
now being marketed in the various
towns along the railroad. Of the
one product, native beans, not
less than five car loads have been
marketed to the present time, and
no doubt there are large number
yet to be found among the farm
ers, besides a large amount retain
ed for home consumption and
next years seed.
The Hughes Mercantile Com
pany here in Estancia has pur-
chased from local growers not less
than $4,000 pounds Of this nutri-
tious food. l.. A. Bond has pur-
chased not lees than 100, 600
pounds. The Willard Mercantile
Company has had a buyer out for
some weeks, and had purchased

were: J. w. Dwight, 5000 pounds,
