STAMFORD INSURGENTS
 FEAR CASH
Republicans Who Contest Local Machine Hear RumOrS of $1, 100 Campaign
 Fund
Special to The Farmer.)

Stratford, Aug 31.-This town is not as big as Bridgeport, but it has more politics to the square inch, and the Stratford brand sizzles more. The latest scare received by the insur- gents came last night in the form of a runor that the "old guard" forces have been enriched by contributions said to amount to SLIGO of which $500 is credited to one generous giver. This cash is not designed for the cor ruption of voters. But "Old Guard" candidates may be floated, as it were, into office. Another shiver, and perhaps laugh went round, when in the mail of this morning came sev- eral hundred circulars from Judge c. H. Peck, asking the republicans to assist him in retaining a hold to the death on the three offices which he now holds, which are judge of pro- bate, justice of the peace and repre- sentative.
 Said member of the insurgency, this morning, 'The judge is too mod est He doesn't want all the offices. Only just three. Sully of cotton fame couldn't tell the judge anything about corners. The Emperor of Germany hasn't anything on him when it comes to holding offices by providential dis pensation. If he gets them all this time, my hat off to the judge. I'll join heartily in, sHoch the Kaiser of Stratford.'

 MT. Ballinger. it is understood here, is not to receive the exoneration he confidently expects from the Congress sional committee which investigated the conservation controversy Instead. he is to be adjudged guilty President Taft will thus be forced to demand his resignation.
