W. E. ALIEN WILL BE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE
 FOR REPRESENTATIVE
Conventions to Be Held After Town Election-Democrats Have No
 Candidate As Yet.
WESTPORT


 1 former. member of the state house of representatives will undoubtedly be the nominee of the Republican party when the members of the Representa- tive convention convenes after the coming town election. MT. Albin is about the strongest candidate remain ing among those who have not de- is even admitted by those of the op- posite faiths, who believe that even with the split party, the former rep resentatives will poll the largest vote. His is the only name mentioned on the Republican side.
 There may be some among the Dem ocrats who want to be sent to Hart ford but they are not being talked about. As this is undoubtedly Dem ocratic year, there ought to be flock Of candidates. A member of the Dem ocratic town committee stated to-day that just now the workers were busy with the coming town election and that nothing had been done about the representative nomination He did not think anything would be done in this particular before that time. He had not heard of any candidates. He gave out the information that his crowd being on the offensive now could let time shape the candidate, great deal depending upon the outcome of next Mondays contests. In those he expected, that with the big split in the Republican wing, most of the Demo- cratic nominees would pull through
  resentatfve will most likely be the choice of the Progressive convention, Rep. Burr, besides having the full support of the members of the new party will secure many Democratic and Republican votes, representing those who believe in the man who had the courage of his convictions and ably declared himself Rep. Burr might not be on the best of terms with those who have enjoyed the Repub- lican pap but with the rank and file1 Of @ S norfect accord.
 It is almost settled that Robert w Post will be the Democratic nominee he will be opposed on the Republican side by Judge John H. Perry of South port. Who the Progressive candidate will be is still a question.
 Most all the towns that represent this district, Fairfield, Stratford, Nun roe. Huntington, Weston, Newtown, and Westport will push forward the candidacy of favorite son for the nomination, but 1t is now conceded that MT. Post will be the Democratic nominee. and that Judge Perry, if he vention, will be the RepublicaA choice.
 Judge Perry has not yet declared himself. He has but to say the word and the delegates from each of the towns will follow his standard. Should he decline to run, there are signs of a Sherwood would like to be a member of the upper house and will be a candidate if Judge Perry refuses. In the meanwhile Attorney Sherwood is booster for Southport's favorite son.
