FAIRFIELD

The people of this town are more than pleased with the strong and clean ticket put in nomination Tues day night Cby the Democrats. Espec- ially is this the case with the nomi- nations for representative to Hart ford. There is a feeling that these important positions have been occu- pied too long by mem bers of what may be denominated the Republican ring, and now with Messrs. Brothwell and Burr for candidates, there is an unusually good chance to change the order of things. MT. Casella Broth well is a gentleman universally known and liked. He resides in the Strat- field district, and will poll all the votes of his neighborhood, regardless of party names. He is a man of pre- possessing appearance, above re- proach,, and one who can be depend- ed upon to legis1ate in the interests Of the people: The same can be said of William O. Burr, the other candi- date He is well known for his inte- gritty, his wish to have the finances economically administered, and for his honesty. Neither of these gentle men is a professional politician, which is the bane of so many other men,
 Both of these gentlemen are known to all the citizens of Fairfield, and have the confidence of the comnun- fty. They deserve to be elected by large maj jorities. This is the year for Democrats, and everywhere they are putting their best men forward. The victory of Charles Fox, first select
 man, shows which way the wind is blowing in this town. He must have

TEDDY FOR SURE IS
 ONE BAD SPELLER
Forgets How He Ordered P. O. De@ partnlent When President to
 Designate WfIkesbarre.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 2O.-Col. Theodore Roosevelt is to get a letter from the Wilkesbarre Board of Trade because he does not remember how he ordered the Post Oh1ce Depart rnent when he was President to spell the name of this city.
 When he visited here in 1905 sew eral prominent people told him how annoying it was to have the name of the city spelled in various ways with out any general agreement as to how it should be spelled.
 He said in his usual vigorous way that he would arrange that as soon as he got back to Washington. The citizens decided that they would like it spelled as a hyphenated word and with a capital B, Wilkes Barre, and Col Roosevelt ordered the Pbst 'Ofhce $ Department to declare that the official spelling.
 Recently Secretary Ralph w. Fer rell of the Board of Trade and City Clerk Fred Gates received letters from Col. Roosevelt in which he spelled the city's name Wilkesbarre without either the hpyhen or the capital B. much to the surprise of these officials.

WELLMAN BALLOON
 SUPPOSED TO BE
 AT SEA BOTTOM
Especial from United Press.)


 New York, Oct. 20-The abandoned airship, in which Walter Wellman and his crew of five attempted to cross the Atlantic. is not an aerial dere- lict, afloat between sky and water, according to Melvin Vaniman, chief engineer of the ship. Vaniman de- clared today that he made certain that the airship would not remain afloat. Vaniman said:
 Just before I released the valve cord to allow the America to blow away, tied a five gallon can of oil to it and when the America floated off. the can was dangling from the cord to keep the valve open and per init the gas to escape"
 Vaniman declared that unless the woodwork of the big dirigible was ex- tensive enough to keep 5afloat on the water, she was now at the bottom of the sea. Vaniman is planning already the balloon in which he hopes, with Wellman, to make another attempt to cross the Atlantic.

Lake Mohonk. N. Y, Oct. 2O-That the Philippines have gained but little and have lost much under the protec- torate of the United States, was the trend of an address delivered before the Lake Mohonk peace conference to-l day.
 Professor H. Parker Willis of Geo. Washington University, said that un-I der the old Spanish regime, the an-1 nual cost of government to the Philip-' pines was only $7.OOO00O annually, un-I der the Americans this has risen tol $10,O00, 900. The cost under the Span-l ish rule included also the maintenance] of the army and navy, while if that were added to the cost under the American rule the total would bel nearly $30OOo, GOO annually. He furth-i CT insisted that what gain there has been to the Fi1ipinos in trade. has been offset by advances in the cost of all necessities of life.
