GLOOM IN TOWN
Candidate Tsii VIII Never Be Forgiven For Giving Wslsr.
 bury ibs Throw Dews
PLANS ALL SMASHED

The republicans in town have not as yet recovered from the shock caused by the announcement that Candidate Taft would not visit Wa terbury after everything had been been planned to give him a big hand. It was hard on Congressman Lilley but the reception committee was also a bit disappointed.
 The committee had amde arrange ments to have Cornelius Tracy erect . temporary platform at the railroad station. t was to be SO erected that MT Taft would simply have to step from the car onto the platform. More over the republicans had arranged with some of the factories, so 1t is understood. to have them close for one hour in order to give the em- ployes a chance to hear MT Taft pro pound republican doctrines.
 But in view of all this the candi- date wa safrai1 otake the chance. He knew that Liliey had put his foot in big hole in Connecticut but he never for a moment imagined that 1t was as large as 1t really is. He thought he could make the trip all Tight, but such howl was made from so many prominent republicans of the state that the trIp was aban- doned. Was it only coincidence that. the Connecticut trip was aban- doatl only after a conference with President Roosevelt | few days after the Lilley-Rooseve,l. letter writing episode?
 There are a few SO called demo- crats in town who are said to be working for Lilley But they will pc able to help the republican candidate very little. The republicans tried this same method in the last campaign, endeavoring to procure votes through the saloons, but the overwhelming deefat at the polls showed their eff forts were fruitless.
 The French Republican club ex- poets to make hit on October "A, when David E. Lavigne of Woonsock- ct will speak here for the g. 0. p. Mr Layigne, who is now prominent it. torney, spent some very cheerful hours in Waterbury, and will be remembered as son of the late l.. J. Layigne of Fuller street, for many years an employe of the Brass City Lumber Co. The fact that the Woon- isoekek limb Of tH6Ef&W Is ! former Waterbury boy may prompt some to goand hear him, but that Is all there will be to it.
 The betting has begun in Water bury on the state election, Last night several hundred dollars was placed at eyens that Lilley would not carry. his own city and there is a whole lot more waiting under the same conditions Some of it belongs to republicans who cannot see where Lilley has iook-in. There is anoth- CT bet awiting for some enthusiastic if he is confident that Lil- ley will carry the state. $250 of democratic money will be bet against $500 republican coin that he will not carry the state. As there is a big majority to overcome, the republicans if they believe in their man at all, should give the odds asked for, two to one. If there are any republicans around who want to wager few dollars here is their chance It must be understood. however, that the $250 will not be bet in piecemeal. It must all go up in bundle against the $500.
 At o'clock to-day twenty-five new voters had been made, bringing the total including the opening day

LONGB0AT ON WAY
TO PLEAD WITH A. A.. u.

Tom Longboat, the great Indian dis
lance runner, has at last come to an
understanding of what an amateur ath-
lete should do. and in order to make up
for his past deficiencies viii go to New
York and apply fer reinstatement as
an amateur. The officials of the A. \.
L. heard of this yesterday and Will be
prepared to take up the Indians case
as soon as he reaches thai city. Claude
Allen. the champion pole vaulter, will
leave Canada with LongLoat and ac-
company him there.
Somehow or other Longboat has never
had a very clear idea of the meaning
of amateur athletics, ard tho rules of
the A. a. u. were about as foreign to
him az It would he for him to lose u
race. Wien he was chosen by the
Canadians to go to London as a rem-
Der of the Olympic team. however. il
was impressed upon him that he would
have to be in good standing in the \.
\. L., of the United States. which had
suspended him principally for having a
manager. The Indian insists that he
WAS never paid for running and be-
lieves that he has not wilfully violated
the amateur code.
