Under Cleveland the Democrats OF

HIS CASE. FIRST TRIES TO PROVE

ESSAYS TO PROVE 1T BY ELIAS
ALARiD, A CONVICTED BURGLAR.
DAVE DAY, THE LAW BREAKER,
KNOWS HOW TO GET ANY STATE.
MENT HE WANTS OUT OF OTHER
LAW BREAKERS.
In the month of June. 1906. there
was tried in the county court of La
Plata county, case No. 2379. upon in.
formation filed by James A. Pulliam,
district attorney entitled "The Peo.
pie against Elias Alarid." and the de.
fendant was duly convicted of the
crime of burglary, charged in the in
formation, which consisted of his bur
glarizing a watch from a man by the
Durango, shortly before said trial. and
by reason of the fact that the defend
ant was a minor the court sentenced
him to an indeterminate sentence at
the state reform school at Golden,
Colo, and he was accordingly taken
and imprisoned at that place, and after
serving time there was discharged by
the board of control.
This youthful burglar has come into
a new field OF importance and dignity.
Dave Day has found use for him. He
tie thief, to a frazzle. His known
reputation as a debaucher of young
boys, in his dive up the valley; his
law breaking propensities in selling
liquor in violation of the law, has
long made decent men shun him.
But he discovered this ex-convIct-
this burglar and in his dull mind
failed TO recollect that there were rec
ords of the crime his new affidavit
maker had committed, and he calls
in Alarid to swear to new lies.
The candidates on the Democratic
ticket deserve to be beaten This man,
Dave Day, claims to be their spokes-
man. They have not the courage to
deny it. This man, Dave Day, is will
ing to prostitute every principal OF
honor and decency to the end that he
crafty his venom and spite. John
w. Morgan failed to get his acquies-
cence and consent before he dared to
be a candidate on the Republican
ticket, and yet he poses and stands as

he fails to tell the people that "the

Greene Kendrick. formerly mayor of Waterbury, who made & strong speech at the opening of the meeting, was nominated for warden.
 There was considerable apathy shown in accepting the nominations, several declining. The nomination for the position of tax collector was offered to several, who declined. It was then moved that this place left to the borough committee to fill. The borough committee is to be- named by the warden.
 MT Kendrick, in his opening talk, spoke of the important duties of the warden and other officers. He said that borough like West Haven is just the same as corporation and taxpayers should vote along such lines regardless of politics. He said that all should vote for the best man He criticized the fact that the bor. Iough report was not made a week before election, and that it ought to be-

Manila, Nov 24.-A conference be- tween the naval chief of staff and the fleet reception committee of this city was held to-day at which it was de- termined to begin the entertainment of the men of the Atlantic fleet on Thursday, November 26, the enter tainment to continue from that date until Monday, November 30. The whole five days included in this pe- riod during which the men will be ashore, will be taken up with many forms of entertainment. The big mill itary hippodrome which is to be a feature of the reception will take on Saturday and many of the sailors will be present.
 The people of Manila are greatly elated over the announcement that Admiral Sperry has decided to land his sailors and have enthusiastically entered upon the work of preparing for the reception which has been so long abandoned that the plans for the entertainment must be reformed.
 The Army and Navy club will give reception in honor of Admiral Sperry and his officers on Saturday night, the event promising to be one of the social events of the year.
