Archibald Mo Neil Jr.
Democratic Candidate For Sen
 atOr in the 22nd District

Archibald McNeil, Jr., Democratic candidates for senator in the 22nd
 district, is the son of former State Senator Archibald McNeil. He re- sides at 203 Golden Hill street. He is a native of this city being born in the heart of the Seventh district which is in the 22nd Senatorial dis trict. His early education was re- ceived in the public schools of the city and he was graduated with hon. ors from the Park Avenue Institute in 1901. While at school he showed
 a predilection for debate and he was ever uppermost in all movements that had to do with that part of the curri- culum. At the Park Avenue Institute he explained several debating classes and was frequently adjudged the best debator in the institution. His na- tural bent in this direction gradually

him say word in favor of his own candidacy, in the numerous addresses which he has made. On the contrary MT. Nobbs is out for himself only. noticed in tonight's Post, an adver- tisement in favor of the present Re nuhIican incumbent of the office stating how he alone of the Republi- can candidates can be voted for on election day.
 sIn addition this man has employ ed in his office two clerks, whose chief qualifications are supposed to De their ability to obtain Democratic votes for him on election day. Their only argument is, that by electing MT. Nobbs. they will continue to share in a meagre way the profits of the of- flee.
 ."This argument is addressed to you, Fellow Democrats, that you must de- feat this splendid candidate and oe- priye the Democratic party of this office in order that a couple of good fellows may continue to enjoy the crumbs that fall from Judge Nobbs' table. I say to you, that if these gentlemen have allied themselves With the Republican party when 1t was Tn the ascendary and possessing all the offices and have continued during that period to enjoy the salaries attach ed thereto. that they should be will ing to stand or fall with their party. Do not be persuaded to defeat an irrenroachable candidate who will ap- point as his clerks men whom you can equally approve of, and who may perchance be closer friends Of yours in order that these two gentlemen who are about the town soliciting Democratic votes for MT. Nobbs may continue to enjoy their small salar- ieS.
 "The Republican party of the City of Bridgeport has long been anxious to nominate some other candidate on the Republican ticket for the position of Judge of Probate but owing to the manipulation of the machine they have been unable to do so and feel that their only hope of getting rid of him is by defeating him on election day.
 T know this to be so. Now Eel low Democrats give them a chance to defeat Judge Nobbs and the Repub- lican machine and do not counteract their votes by handing to Judge Nobbs Democratic votes which he does not deserve and which no argument can show him to be entitled to. His clerks may be good fellows around election time-personally they are good fellows at all times-but they should be game enough to share the fortunes of their party and stand Or fall with their candidates. DO not my friends, like the dog in the fable, go after the shadow and lose the bone. The Re- publicans are always willing to give your friends the crumbs if you will give them the yeast.''

| brought his mind into close contact with affairs of state, with the result | that he has given to the paramount | questions of the day much thought and study.
 l He has shone more than once upon | the public platform. His most not | able achievement in this field was | four years ago when he made the | speech nominating Mayor Charles F. Thayer of Norwich as governor on l the Democratic ticket. His address | on that occasion demonstrated his l worth as an orator.
 His talk appealed to the hearts of | his audience, while his eloquence won | him the plaudits of his fellow dele gates and the auditors who packed the auditorium where the convention was held. That the young man had | brilliant political future before him was the prediction of such men as | ex-Governor Waller who heard him in | his maiden effort.
 The local Democratic leaders se- lected him in the Democratic city convention of 1905 to nominate May or Denis Mulvihill and his effort then plainly indicated the talents which | make public speakers.
 MT. McNefPs gift of public speak ing is natural and not acquired. His l method of delivery is graceful and
 he has a voice which while lacking nothing in its carrying effects is pleas ing and capable of the meditation
 essential to the successful public speaker.
 Socially MT. McNeil is one of the most popular young men in the city. He has been honored with the posi- tfon of Exalted Ruler. of the Bridge port Lodge of Elks. twice with the presidency of the Calumet club, is a member of WOwompOn tribe, I. O. R.
 M., the Arion Singing Society, Brook
 lawn Club, Seaside Club, and many other social organizations.
 MT. McNeil is in favor of all of the advanced legislation proposed by
 the Democratic party. He stands for

 supporting a real Compensation act designed to provide for the mainten-
 ance of families of working men, in-
 jured in the performance of their

 should not be measured in dollars
 and cents, therefore he will support
 bill which will do away with the
 law making S5,000 the highest amount
 which may be obtained in an action
 for damages under the present law
 in this state.
 MT. McNeil comes of Democratic
 stock. His distinguished father dem

 men of repute could be found to &C.,

 cause it was deemed a forlorn hope,
 the elder McNei1 became his partys
 candidate for representative. The
 younger McNeil in addition to
 his knowledge of politics has had a
 splendid business training. It is the
 duty of his party associates to see to
 it that his majority is in Keeping
 with the Democratic strength of the
 district he is destined to represent in
 the senate of the next general as- sembly.

CONTESTED BALLOTS
 DEFEAT PEOPLES
 CHOICE IN NORWALK

Following the long drawn out re- count of the ballots cast in the recent Norwalk election, Charles A. Quintard, Republican candidate for Councilman, is declared elected over D. F. Toomey, Democratic candidate. On the face Of the returns given out on the evening of the election, Toomey was the win ner 533 to 532. The recount shows that Quintard leads Toomey 541-53S Counsel for Toomey have taken excep- tion to the courts rulings, and will take an appeal.
 Qufntard now takes his seat in the Norwalk council. thereby making that ruling body of the city a tie with three Democrats and three Republi- cans. Party workers in that city can see deadlock when the times comes for the election of a council president Because of the death of Mayor Leemon M. Brundage. reelected at the last election, the president of the council board becomes Mayor of the city. There are a number of political plums at the appointment of the Mayor, nat urally both political parties making a great fight to maintain the office.
 When the counters had finished their recount there were 402 votes for Quin- tard and 3S6 for Toomey, all uncon- tested. Twenty-one packages contain ing in all 3H disputed ballots were submitted to the court for decision. These were all for various questionable markings of the ballots and alleged in Judgements of the ballot laws Of the number passed upon Quintard re- ceived 139 and Toomey 152, the remain der being thrown out.
 After the ballots had been passed upon, the court ordered that they be placed in the ballot box, sealed and locked, and placed in care of the sher- ifr until the matter is finally settled should an appeal be acted upon.

NOBBS FIGHTS
 FOR HIMSELF ONLY
His Chief Aim In Politics Is to Look Out for No. l. Why His Clerks Are Ac- tive.

No candidate on either ticket has made a more favorable impression by his manly attitude during this cam paign than has Edward F. Hallen Democratic nominee for Judge of Pro- bate in the district of Bridgeport Attorney John Cullinan struck a re- sponsive chord in his hearers at the Democratic rally at Timko's hall in the Third district last night when he said regarding MT. Hallen:
 hour listening to MT. Hallen's mag nificent address and I have heard his words of commendation in favor of about every other candidate upon the ticket and not a word in regard to himself and his own candidacy. therefore desire to fill in this void in Mr.. Hallen's remarks by saying something to you in regard to the Democratic candidate for Judge of Probate.
 "The Democratic party in this nom- ination presents as its candidate a man of which the party can be proud, a man of exceptional ability, a law yer of fine standing at the bar and a. man of wide experience, who has devoted many years of his life to public service in honorary positions and never occupied a salaried office.
 ''If elevted I can assure you that the office will be better administered than it has been before in sixteen years, and we will return to the conditions of the Democratic admin istration of that office under Judges Morris B. Beardsley and Albert M Tallmadge.
 'The Democratic party could find nowhere in its ranks a man better qualified for the position to which he has been nominated. Mir HalIen has devoted his entire time during this carnpa; gn for the election of the whole ticket and l have never yet heard

MARTIN HAS
 POOR ADVISERS
Untruthful and Absurd State ment Concerning His De-
 mocratic Opponent

For want of any more conyincing campaign material, William Martin the Republican candidate for Senator from the 22d district, has set forth the claim that Archibald McNeil. Jr., his Democratic opponent, is a carpet bagger, and not entitled to election for that reason.
 MT. Martin may have been intensely in earnest when he authorized an in- terview to the above effect in the Standard of Thursday. But he was sadly misinformed as to the real facts.
 His registered. home is in the 21st," says Martin. 'He pays rent for a room in the seventh
 The facts are these: MT. McNeiI was born in the Seventh district, in Golden Hill street, 27 years ago, and for 20 years out of his 27, he has lived in the Seventh district. All the associa- tions of his boyhood and early man. hood are centered in this section of the city, where he received his public school education.
 A few years ago his parents remoy- ed to 1000 Fairfield avenue, in the Fist district, and the candidate, who had not then attained his majority, ac- companied them to their new home. Nearly two years ago MT. McNeil de- clueu to IotuIh lo the vicinity Of hlS early boyhood. During the last mu- nicipal election a year ago MT. Me- Neil played a prominent part in the politics of the Seventh Even then he was registered voter of the Sev- enth district.
 MT. McNeil has always been a staunch advocate of Democracy His election to the Senate. which is assur- ed, means the sacrifice of valuable time from his many business cares. but he consented to become the candi- date in view of the strong demand. and was the unanimous choice of his party.

son whose name is so written
 If an elector should desire to vote for one of the candidates to fill the office for governor, without voting a party ticket, he may do so by writing the name of such person in the title of governor" and such ballot shall be counted for the candidate whose name is so written.
 This illustration may serve for all of the candidates for the several of- fees named on the ballot.
 How to Vote When the Number of
 Names on the. Ballot for a Parti-
 cular Office Do Not Equal the
 Number for Whom an
 Elector is Entitled
 The law provides that where the names of two or more candidates for the same political party and for the same office appear printed on said ballot, and the number of names on said ballot for such office does not equal the number for whom the elec- tor is entitled to vote, he may make the cross mark ''X" in the space at the left of the name of any candi- date of any other party column for whom he desires to vote or he may write in the proper space in the blank column the name of any per- son, not printed on said ballot, for whom he desires to vote.
 This provision covers a case where, for instance, a. party has failed to make nominations for representa- tives. An elector may vote for one or both of the representatives of an- other party by making the cross mark 'X'' in the voting space at the left of the name or names in any other party column for whom he de- sires to vote, or he may write in the space in the blank column the name of any person, not printed on said ballot, for whom he desires to vote,- a candidate who has not been nomi- mated by any party.
 How to Test the Legality of a Ballot.
 The law provides that
 ''If any ballot shall contain any mark or device other than as herein before provided, so that the same may be identified in such manner as to indicate who might have cast the same, or shall be folded otherwise than as delivered to the voter by the ballot clerk the ballot shall not be counted, but shall be kept by the moderator and returned to the town clerk in the ballot box in a separate 2ackage from the ballots counted 9. such election"
 In passing upon marked ballots the moderator should keep in mind the language of Chief Justice Hall in the case of Coughlin vs. McElroy, cited above, that marks upon the face of ballots which appear or are shown to have been made accidentally, and not for the purpose of indicating the vot- CT, and changes for the existence of which a reasonable explanation con- sistent with honesty and good faith, either appears upon the face of the ballot or is shown by proof, should not render the ballot void.
 I am of the opinion that modera- tors in the discharge of the duty of construing the ballot law should keep in mind that an elector should not be deprived of his vote except upon a plain and unambiguous provision of the law.
 Respectfully submitted,
 John H. Light, attorney general.
