THE CANDIDACY OF
 MIR. VOIIIER

Judging from the absence of criticism Of the nomination of MT. VoIImer for Sheriff of Fairfield county by the Democratic convention, and from the high comm mendatfon given his candi- dacy by the newspapers of his home town. he stands high ia the esteem of a1f who Know him, whatever their party affiliations. He has ever per formed his public duties conscientious ly; he has always limited his public activities to the duties of his position; his personal character stands above reproach-
 MT. Vollmer has never been an ac- tive participant in machine politics, and has no personal machine; he has never "dabbIed in politics.; he has not at any time endeavored to name candidates for Governor, U. s. Senator, etc, against the preponderant senti- ment of his party in State, county or town; he has not f'butted into" every contest within his own or the other party; he has never usurped the posi- tion of boss in politics. In all such ways he is the exact opposite of his Republican competitor Sheriff flaw ley. In ability and competency to the duties of office, he is fully the peer of his rival.
 There is an excellent prospect of MT. vollmer's election. It will not re- quire any greater humber of changes

 FOR FLETCHER'S GA S O RfA A
CONSIDERATION OF ST. PATRlCK'S CATHEDRAL
 NOTABLE CEREMONY

New York Oct 6.-In accordance with the ritual which has come down through ages, St. Patrick's Cathedral was copsecrated yesterday by Arch bishop Farley. The ceremony began soon after sunrise, and was not over till an hour before noon, and during all that time none but the clergy of the Cathedral was present.
 Afterward there was high mass, at which three Cardinals, eleven Arch bishops,. forty Bishops, and 1000 other ecclesiastics were present, to say noth- ing. of the vast throng which filled every seat in the structure, but. in ac- cordance with the custom of the fChurch the actual consecra tion was almost a private ceremony
 , At the high mass, ecclesiastical cere- mony and pomp was carried to it's highest degree. For half an hour the long procession, headed by the uni formed Knights of Columbus and closed by the three Princes of the Church. Cardinals Vannutelii, Logue and Gibbons, defiIed slowly along Forty-ninth street from the CaDhedral College to the west door of the ~Cathe- dral.
 The habits of every order of the Ro- man Catholic Church in this part of the country, from the red cassocks and short lace surplices of the altar boys to the brown cowls and rope girdles of the Fran nciscans, from the plain black cassocks and white bands of the Christian Brothers to the purple robes of the Monsignori were to be seen- The latter, too, had their place in the procession. Some wore merely the silk hats and frock coats of ordinary life, but those more honored in councils of the Church formed the guard of honor to the Cardinals and displayed on their coats the emblenls of the Papal orders of St. Gregory and St. Sylvester.
 The actual ceremony of conservation emphasized to the Roman Catholic the unity of the Church in twentieth cen tury New York with all the years which separate it from the days of St. Peter.
 Dawn had hardly broken when Arch bishop Farley, attired in the purple robes of his office, came down from his residence. He was attended by the Rev. Father Luke J. Evers as dea- con and the Rev. Father Bernard F. McQuade as sub-deason. Preceded by cross borne by the Rev Patrick N. Breslin and two acolytes carrying can dies, he went to the Cathedral College at Fifty-first street and Madison ave nue to venerate the relics, which had been guarded all night by members of the laEmen's organization.

than might naturally be expected from existing conditions. His special pop ularity in the southwestern section of the county, and the very special un- popularity of Sheriff Haw1ey in the same section. and indeed throughout the county. should alone suffice to elect MT. Vollmer. Add to this con dition, the leaven of general dissatis- faction with National Republican poli- cies, and the defeat of Sheriff Hawley seems doub1y a certainty.
 If the Democrats of the county will but poll their full vote, completion of the task of defeating Sheriff Hawley may b safely and confidently left to Republicans who have had more than enough of his off1cious and pestilent overturning of their wishes, and who also believe that sixteen years of feed ing at the public crib is ample for even the most greedy of men.

Children Stone Deer.

Five deer were seen Friday morning. playing about Pine Hill, Thomaston. They were quite tame, and were only frightened into the thicket by school children who threw stones at them. One deer, buck, turned about, and it appeared as if he were about to make a charge on the children, but evidently changed his mind and bound ed away.
 Supreme Court Cases
 In the Supreme court at Hartford, Tuesday, Chief Justice Hall spoke to Samuel A. Herman of Winsted regard ing the nature of the pleading he had filed in a case in the Superior court of Lftchfie1d county. The case was being argued in the Supreme court on the nlaintiff's appeal. In the lower court MT. Herman filed demurrer and it appeared that the court was of the opinion that he should have plead ed the statute of limitation instead of filing the demurrer. The case before the court was that of Marquis L.. .Sharkey and his wife, Sadie E. Shar- key, both of whom live in Brooklyn,

BRIBERY TALK
 STILL RAMPANT
Congressman Higgins Declares Someone in Authority Should
 Issue Statement
PUBLIC OUGHT TO KNOW
Rises Above Partisan Discussion Refers Especially to Second Congressional District

/ Norwich, Oct. 6.-Congressnan n Higgins of this city, when interview ed concerning recent reports the Republican congressional convention for the Second district and on the general situation in the state said:
 ''It seems evident that the people generally, and they ought to, want to divorce special interests from po1i- tics. The state and the Second dis trict congressional conventions in the Republican party seem to convey the idea from the despatches and hear say one picks up that money was the prime consid iteration in the selection of a candidate. The safety of this re- public lies in an awakened public conscience above all else. This ques- ton rises above partisan discussion. Whatever may be the facts or merits of this particular case, do not pre- tend to know or say, but I do think the repeated accusations that are made ought to be met by some state me11t from somebody that ought to be in a position to state with accur- acy. explicitness and utmost definite ness. It is borne in upon me that the people who are called upon to elect ought to know something about how the nominations were made in view of the widespread statements ''

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

The Courant finds that in 93 towns, the Republican total, taking the votes for registrars as the basis, fell off about 4,800, and the Democratic vote about 1900, and congratu1ates it's party upon it's finding that the. figures do not reveal "any\tidaI wave or any sinister omen.'' If Republican losses in the remaining 59 towns show a pro portion like that in the 93, the total will be in the neighborhood of seven or eight thousand, and this does not include cities which, like Bridgeport, did not hold elections on Monday and in which Republican losses will prob ably be heavy.
 Mondays elections show a very con siderable Republican slump, although only town issues were directly before the voters. If it be claimed that these town returns furnish no indica- tion of the ttrend of public sentiment on National and State issues, then Republicans must admit that their party's conduct of town affairs is as faulty, .or worse, as it's management of National and State affairs.
 The returns give solid grounds for Democratic satisfaction. They indi- cate that the popular xdissa tisfaction = alent in Connecticut as in Maine and that the people art beginning to un- derstand the real Republican policy which is promotion of -'the interests'' at the cost of the general public, and protection of the few against the many There can be ne doubt of election re- suits when the people are fully in formed. and they are better posted now than in previous campaigns
 The high cost of living has served to inform the public as to Republican iniquities better than any other exist ing condition. They understand that the Republican Congress not only did nothing to reduce that cost but act ua11y appointed committees to defend it upon spacious grounds. Such a concrete fact as the high cost of liv- ing cannot be obscured by abstract reasoning. It stands up monument ally as a proof of conspiracy against the people by Republican leaders and fft1e interests

Representative Gillett of the Second Congressional district of Massa chu- setts, declares that he will not sup port Cannon for Speaker but he evil dently means that he will not vote for him in the House Republican eau GUS, and does not say that he will re- fuse to support Cannon if renominated by the caucus. This statement by MT. Gi1ett parallels the position taken by Representative Hill of this district
 Neither of the two has said that he will refuse to support Cannon if re- nominated, which is precisely the point upon which the voters desire informa- tiorf and is the all important point in connection with the Cannon candidacy. MT. Hill has said, in substance, that he would vote for John Doe'' or Richard Roe'' if either of these myth icaI personages were regular Repub- Hcan nominee for office. He spoke in reference to the contest for Sheriff of this county, but the principle applies equally to the speakershib of the Ma
 tional House, and it is evident that MT. Hill will support Cannon if re- nominated by the Republican caucus. Messrs. Hill and Gillett evidently
 hold political regularity above all
 other considerations. It is not a cemz mendable nor a popular position in
 these modern days. Voters are de- manding that officials, particularly leg islators, shall place the principle of right or wrong above the matter of partisan regularity and act according ly. They are aware that the chances favor the renomination of Speaker Cannon, Sand they desire pledges | against his reelection as well as his renomination.

 hope of taking the case out of the and he charged ''wi1ful and unlawful
 conduct on the part of the driver of the automobile. A second demurrer was filed, this demurrer was sustained.
 MT. Sanford gave notice of an appeal.
 Should the justices decide that MT.
 Herman should have pleaded the stat ute of limitations instead of filing a demurrer, the case may have to go back again to the Superior court

Cranbury Fire Stricken.


 Cranbury Fire Stricken. n In Cranbury, Sunday afternoon, a roaring fire spurred on by the strong wind burned over several acres of woodland on property just north of that owned by George VanHoosear, and threatened to reach E. L. Gre gory's house and store and several other places, before it could be check ed The fire was so hot that large trees were set on fire and killed, and a great deal of damage done. Fully thirty men turned out and after two hours work managed to beat out the flames before any buildings were reached. The fire was started by some boys who were in search of chestnuts.

Dr. Wilson, Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey, states that if elected he will take every important legislative matter and stump the State with it.'' That is, he proposes to bring upon the Legislature the pres sure of public sentiment for the en- actment of worthy laws. This was Gov. Hughes policy in New York, and it was generally effective Legisla- tors who dare to affront public senti- ment openly, are few.
