tion tomorrow is apt to be a very spectacular affair. The. convention is scheduled to take place in the Fly perion theatre, but if there is an over flow attendance an adjournment will be taken to the New Haven Green nearby. Hon. F. S. Butterworth has requested Chief of Police Cowles of that city for permission to have an proves too small Permission has been granted
 It is said that at a number of con- ferences of regular Republican lead CTS in Connecticut recently, it was known third party adherents off the regular Republican primary lists. In New Haven 1t is claimed that the Re- publican general rigistrar and his dep- uties are already compiling a list of third party names which will be taken off the regular Republican primary lists. As an evidence that there is much truth to this story an investi- gation has disclosed the elimination of Hon. Frank S. Butterworth's name from the Ninth ward Republican pri- mary list in New Haven.
 C. B. Montgomery of Packersville, in the town of Plainfeld. who has been g. Democrat 32 years, has joined the Bull Moose party and the follow ing letter addressed to grangers of the state, has been prepared by him: Dear Brother Granger:
 You are without doubt well posted on the action of our national executive and both houses of congress at the extra session called by Presi- dent W. H. Taft to pass a law that strikes deep into the very vitals of the agricultural population that numbers fully .one-third of our entire people. But lest you forget now is a, good time to refresh your memory. The story of President Taft being defeated by his own party and calling an extraor- dinary session of an opposing party something never before heard of, cer- tainly reads more like Arabian night tales than the act of sane man who had been chosen by your votes to preside over the destinies of 90,OO0000 people.
 ..The eagerness with which the Democratic party jumped at a chance to strike another blow at the fair northland. proves that while Taft in sisted on proving himself your enemy, the opposing party was equally eager to drive the knife to. the hilt
 "As sop for striking blow at the farms and farmers of New England and the great northwest they give us farmers free list bill (so-called,) ) The bill was full of concealed hatred of you and envy of your prosperity,
 
 in the breadstuffs schedule. The bill as passed by the Democrats signed by Ttft read, Admit all breadstuff, cakes. cookies, free. except. (here is the joker) sweetened cookies and those made whole or in part of rice sunny south must not be touched by the great tariff tinkering Democratic party or that tree toad self interest politician William Howard Taft President Taft, signed that bill to ad- init everything free that competes with you and tax that competed with the southern states. zT
 What have you to expect? Sena- tors Brandegee and Mclean and all five congressman voted for that bill of your letters and petitions asking them not to do so.
 "One congressman is alleged to have said: T had thousands of letters burned without opening
 "What have you to expect? Can you expect anything better of Taft than the past four years of mistakes, folly and almost criminal ignorance? !?
 "Can. you expect anything if a man who said three months ago when he was accused of insulting a man who made him: am man of a single track mind.
 Shall you be one of those so deeply dyed in your fathers politics that you will allow both the old parties to run the knife deeper and deeper into your very vitals? Rob you of your right of franchise and they both did it. The Republicans at Chicago one way, the Democrats at Baltimore another, but half dozen bosses did the job.
 "The time has come for a revolt the birth of the party of American ism, new nationalism, independence and honesty, whose motto is Thou Shall Not Steal and whose slogan is Forward to Peace, Happiness and Prosperity
 twill you join us? Don't mind your neighbor. the old parties are rotting away now, get in on the first rush. the promise land lies before you and unless your claim is filed early there may be nothing but standing room What do you expect?
 ''Yours respectfully,
 "C. B. MONTGOMERY"
