Westport, Sept e-In the matter of slipped it over on their friends the Repupllcans- In years past, the Reps aId the slipping over, but this year as in other things, they are letting the other fellows get there first. It was i've bunch of Democrats who as- su1ned charge of the town affairs prior to the elections a year ago. When the ballots were counted, the workers did not stop there but be- gan laying the wires for this year The first cable they put through was the securing of the Town. Hall for their primaries on Tuesday evening, Sept. i7 1912 That are. just ,21 days limited by law The Reps cannot very we'll hold their primary at the town nall on the same evening, and there fore will probably come together on the 16.s They could make it the F if they see fit to dig down into their jeans and hire a hall. There are but few ready to do those things tn ese troublesome days.
 The holding of the. primary after the other fellows is considered big beat in that it will keep the first out aguessing- The. Democrats sure have their Rep friends on the hip this year. The latter have about made up their slate but are up: 3, tree on the selee-. tions of the Democrats. Especially is this true in the matter of SelectInan. Robert M Co1ey is still in doubt about aee aeeep5iag tin 1 re1nomination which
 
 mates will place on the ticket an equally efficient vote getter. In either event the Republicans will be compelled. to exert every known means to give their candidate a look in. The Democrats this season have an. effective working organization, 3, much Democrats into office last year. There, is no reason why the success will not be repeated, even more so, this. year, With conditions around the country 6Rnnffne a DHnonPr3fiP and with the split in the local Republican forces, there is eveEysreason to believe that victories this year will be numerous
