ELDERLY WOOER
 TAKES REVENGE

Stamford. Sept. 16!-John F. Buck bout. an aged real estate dealer of Springdale, a suburb of Stamford, who was convicted and fined here last June for an assault on Herbert daughter Gladys Van Sciver, has hl- ed papers in an action to foreclose mortgages for sI, TOO given by Hem rietta Van Sciver, the wife of Her. bert Van Sciver,- which are held by Buckhout onN the property the Van Scivers occupy.
 At the time of Buckhout's convic- ton it was said that he was paying attention to Gladys and that the Van interest in the young girl eliminated in the trouble which led to the pros- ecutfon of the aged man, who vehem-. ently denied anything more than a father1y friendship for her.
 The papers in the suit reveal that Mrs. Van Sciver gave Buckhott mortgage for s1.2O0 on Nov. 25, 1909. and that .5ilas E. Hoyt, Buckflout's son-in- Jaw, gave another $500 On the paid on demand; the smaller in ten fragments of $50 each every six months They also show that Hoyt transferred the $500 mortgage to his father in-law on Sept. 13.
 Mir Bucl1holIt when asked about the foreclosure said he wanted his money and meant to get 1t.
 q couldn't consistently have any money dealings With people who treat ed me as the Van Scivers have" he declared

 South Norwalk, Sept.

 Every form oe pollution will be at tackled by the. Norwalk association, including all kinds of sewage from the regular systems maintained by the municipalities, dumps, factory sewers, etc. and the oysternen are going in to the fight with 9 full realization that besides being case of win or get out of business, they have right on their side It is pointed out that such as is being done to their busi- ness by pollution would not be to1er- ated in any other industry.
 An organization has been formed to further the movement headed by William F. Hoyt and Edward F. Hurl bert.

THE REPURIdCAN PI.aTFoR1.

The platform adopted by the Repub- Iican State convention cornmen1s the Tart Administra ton and refers favor Rb1y to tariff revision lsy single sched- Hles and scea ks of sneeded changes. D 1t virtually apologizes for extravaga State expenditures by referring to good roads, mote public buildings. etc. but promises neither reduced expendi- lures nor abandonrnent of the direct State tax upon the towns.
 With regard to the public utilities question. it pledges the party to the adoption of practical nneasure''. so constructed ssthat these indispensable utilities shall be conducted alike for tfe benefit or the public and their shar reholders.'. The principal differ- arcc between the Democratic and Re-, publican blanks upon this issue is that the former declares for fsan effective public utilities commissioner while the latter faYors eta practical measure. 7, Tn Demoeratic belief, the commission must be 'seffectives'-tf1at is. accom- pIfsh the objects sought in RepubH- can belief. the measure must be ttprac- tfFaT'-that is, susceptible of execu- ton. We much prefer the former as the better calculated to promote the pSpular interest.
 The platform advocates abolisIment of the $5,00O limitation for death dam ages, and the enactment of an employ era' liability law. for both of which. the party has neglected previous op- portunities. thus establishing prece- dents which will quite probably be fol- lowed this time.
 t brings up new question. viz. Inc adoption. of q conHtit utfonaI amend ment fncreasing to two thirds the vote needed sto override a veto from the Governor. That the same majority which p4sses measure. can override a veto of it. as ~at present.. is rank absurdfty ana makes the veto a farce It also advocates redistrfcting Of the State. which should have been done 10 years ago. but was not, lest the pro cess give the Democratie party at least one representative in Congress.
 Platforms are apparently to count Tor little this year. The election will evidently turn upon the nominations.

HOW WAS IT DONE ?

The Republican State convention win go into history. if correctly recorded as marking the adoption of new meth Dds by that party and as the begin ning of a factionaa feud of enduring . character. It aE1ouuded in features Hennanding the attention of thinking men.
 The night before the balloting the Lake managers retired in the happy belief that they had the nomination scinched'' by 7S to 100 majority: then he Goodwin managers went to work and by as yet unascertained methods put a new aspect upon the contest which culminated in a Goodwin ma Dority of 10 on the first ballot That ballot was, however, set aside because pf an excess of two or three votes oyer the total number of delegates upon the roll. It was not exactly bal1ot-box Btuffing, though of similar effect. when viewed in connection with the roll. Two delegates names did not appear on the roll. and the ballot found under The tellers' table may have been placed There, and then found opportune1y, for she>purpose of invalidatipg the vote. Referring to these peculiar occur rences. the Hartford Courant, leading Goodwin organ, says: asI
 The regrettabIe. features of the Re- publican convention were that a vet eran politician should slide in as a. teller. when not a delegate and ssfinds' a convenient ballot on the floor after It was known that the full 589 were on The table; and that an official of the convention should turn in a roll of delegates without any explanation while he knew that it lacked two mem bcrs whom he knew to be opposed to s.ae candidate he had been working for.
 Which statement is. in effect. a charge of very sharp practice. or worse on the part of the Lake man. agers. E The professed apprehension of the Goodwin managers. before the conven- lion. that more or less of his delegates might be persuaded, or worse. from him, was not realized. In the belief of the Lake managers, the persuasion, or worse, was worked upon his sup porters after Tuesday midnight and changed a. Lake majority into a small excess for Goodwin. Possibly the originally professed apprehension of the Goodwin managers was designed as a cover for raids upon the Lake delegates We do not understand the statement of the Hartford CouraIat that eft was the differ ence between

New Haven, Sept. 15.-The Denao- crats of Connecticut were not slow to- day to claim for their state ticket a heavy advantage as the result Of yesterdays, Republican convention in Hartford which nominated Charles A.

"Did they nominate any body in Hartford for Governor ?'' he asked. T did not suppose they would go to the useless trouble after they

 Voters who wish to become excited over the merits of the Payne -Aldrich tariff will find just what they are looking for in the congressman's talk to the politicians in Foot Guard hall last night. But those wbo wish to khow whether it is best to keep the institutions we have got or to let Theodore Roosevelt supply us with new political outfit will, we fear, find this harrangue rather dull reading. sf All those Connecticut citizens who take their meals at expensive restau- rants will be delighted by MT. Hi1l's demonstration that only chocniate ec1airs, sweet cake and port wtne sauce have increased in price since the new tariff went into effect. But 3 great many people, including res- taurant keepers, who never voted the denocratfc ticket before. will feel in c1ined to do so, after hearing all that the Hon. E. J.

It says that if when the confusion began Everett Lake had reached the stage and asked his friends to overlook any technfea1ities and make it unanimous for the other fellow, who had the majority, he would today be getting as many congratula- ,tions as Goodwin will he try again two years hence?
