 Attempt to Lead Responsibility on Deputy SheriR Only Part of Petty Annoyance. Especial to The FaTmer) Stratford, May 27-The attempt to lay the responsibility for the recent
 burglaries at the door of the Demo- cratic deputy sheriff Sis so silly that it is not worth considering. There would be as much reason in making providence responsible for the sin which exists in the world. The truth of the matter is that the Republican administration of the town has not in any way made the Democratic deputy sheriff in the town feel that he is a part of the town government.

The Republican deputy was always furnished with a key to the town lookup so that he could incarcerate his prisoners there. This courtesy
 has been refused Deputy Sheriff Will up some one who has a key or to take his prisoners to some neighbor- ing town to be locked up.
 The present crop of burglaries IS nothing unusual. They have occurred with as much frequency In the past during the administration of the Re publican deputy sheriff.

It IS the same old game which the Republican party has worked all the way from Washington to aStratford, and the bold ness of the thieves is due entirely to the immunitys which they have. enjoy ed in the past. Names and dates or these transactions can easily be ob- tained if the Investigators want them.
