The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-09-30
STAMFORD

Political runors in town are to the effect that this evening, at the caucus, Town Clerk Stagg will decline to be a candidate for reelection he having served for thirty years. When he took the position he kept the hard ware store where MT. -Beardsley now is, and as it was close by the Town hall, he could give the clerkship such attention as it needed. Of late years he has devoted all of his time to the office. The position needs a man who can be in the office from in the morning until 3 in the afternoon, and who has not too much other business to distract his attention. If MT. Stagg should decline the town will lose an old and faithful officer who has serv ed the public interests well and eff c1ently Thirty years is a long time and Stratford should not let the res- ignation pass without some suitable token of its appreciation.
 It is stated that MT. David Rhoades will be a candidate for the position of Town clerk. Mfr Rhoades is a gentleman of intelligence and leisure, and can be depended upon to discharge the duties of the office properly and to the satisfaction of all who may have business with him.
