JUPITER PLUVIUS
Again Washes Away Hopes of Game
With Taftville.

The Rainmaker, who has had it in

the playing of it would have no bear
ing on changing the championship OF
the league.

are hoping, however, that they will

NEW ELECTION LAWS
Demand Promptness in Every Partieus
lar-Text of the Statute.

In order to comply with the electlon
laws as amended at the last session OF
the legislature, which made NUMBER
of important changes. in the manner IN
which elections are to be conducted,
1t will be necessary for the republican
and democratic parties to do consider
able work from this time until the
middle of October, says the Ansonio
Sentinel. The new law concerns the
preparation form and use of ballots,
and provides that all nominations for
the various offices shall be made and
the lists in the hands of the secretary
of state eighteen days before the cleo
ton takes place.
Heretofore it has occurred where
some of the conventions, such as tho
county, senatorial and probate, and
frequently conventions of either party
were not held until possibly week or
so before the date set for the election.
This was made necessary for various
causes, the most general being that the
parties were not fully sure as to the
candidates decision in accepting the
nomination rendered. 1t has also hap
pened that two or more candidates
were spoken of who had an equal fol-
lowing, and because of this the con-
vention was delayed in the hope that
decision agreeable to all could be
reached.
What the Law Says.
This now, however, will be entirely
done away with, as the section Of
chapter ESQ of the public acts is very
specific. The section covering the
matter is under the caption Secretary
of Caucus, Convention or Meeting to
Prepare Lists of Nominations" and In
as follows:
Whenever any caucus. conventfeA
or meeting is held by the electors of
any party or political organization for
the nomination of town, city or bor-
ough officers. the secretary of said cau-
Gus, convention or meeting shall pre-
pare an accurate list of the non1fne-
lions made at such caucus, convention
or meeting, and delivered shall be Ger :
tilted to by the presiding officer Of
such caucus convention or meetings
and delivered to the clerk of the town,
city or borough, as the case may bes
for which such nominations are made.
who shall, at least eighteen days before
the time for holding the election at
which the nominees named at such
convention are to be voted for, trans-
nit the same to the secretary of state ::
provided, however, that I'm any town,
city or borough having a charter, any
provision of which fixes the time for
holding such convention or meeting for
the nomination of town, city or bor-
ough officers a t less than eighteen days,
such convention or meeting shall bs
held and the names of the nominees
transmitted as herein provided not less
than ten days before the time for hold
ing such election"
