THEINDEPENDENTv VOTER

The independent voter is becoming each year more of factor to be reckoned with in the election of men to pubic office. He represents the higher class of citizenship, the man W ho cares more for men than he does for the party. He be- lieves the town, county, state and nation should choose the very best men to administer public affairs. He be- lieves in voting for the candidate best fitted to occupy the office for which he is nominated, whether that candidate be a republican or democrat. ..
 And the reason for the independent voter being looked upon by the politicians as an unknown quantity and a dangerous factor is that men who line up with the independents carefully and consider ately form their opinions, preserve secrecy as to their intent and cast their votes in accordance with the conclusions thus deliberately reached.
 Just how numerous men of this type will become cannot be determined but it is fact that they are more plenty to- day than ever before. ..' -

 Stillson. formerly with the Cornwall Bridge team, is pitching for Danbury and is doing good work.
 All the teams but Canaan and Lake ville have been materially strengthened since the beginning of the season.
 Had Sheffield started the season with the team it has now, there would have been some changes ill the standing.
 All the teams have good word for George Traver, the elongated slant artist of the Lakeville ball tossers. He is ono best pitchers in the league, reliable batter conscientious player and a gen. tleman at all times.
 Canaan, Sheffield, Lime Rock, Falls Village. Salisbury and sharon are ready to enter the league next year. President Norton intimates that Lakevllle will not enter but this, we trust, is not final. If the Lakeville management should decide not put team in the fold, however. it would not prevent league formation as one and possibly two other teams are ready to enter. But we'd like these two teams and Lakeville also.

THE COUNTY FAIRS

The season of, county fairs is in full swing and, despite the business depres- sion, it is said these exhibitions promise to be more than usually successful. The attendance at those already held has been large. the races have been well filled, the exhibits of various kinds have been extensive and, taken all in all, the expositions have been very satisfactory.
 Rightly conducted, the county fair will never lose it's charm and it's mag netism. It is both entertaining and ed ucational. In a sense it takes the place of old home week for the people living in the fair territory. It is here that those whose paths in life diverged in former years, meet annually to renew their acquaintance and talk over old times. it provides holiday for the hard working farmer and his family, in fact the fair or cattle show, call it what you choose, is attractive to all sorts of people as it's diversity provides something of interest to all.
