 Leary, the present incumbent. and one of the most useful members of the present city government. He has not only aided in guarding well the interests of the ward, but has led in several matters of vital interest to the whole city. He is worker rath- CT than a talker and measures up well with his associates
 Down in the fifth ward there was quite a fight in the republican eau GUS for the aldermanic nomination, with Lieut. William Baseley as the op- ponent of Alderman Robert Small, but Small wen out. He has been Q conscientious member of the council of the office. His democratic oppon- ent is Leroy A. Nash who makes his debut into local politics.
 Both parties have nominated ea- pablo candidates for the other offices, perhaps the most important being the selectmen as three of the four nom mated win be classed as aldermen at-large of the court uf common coun- cil. The republican candidates are Elmer B. Kennerson the present in cumbent and Byron A. Zones, form erly city clerk and who declined to continue in that office as it interfereG with his business. The democrats have nominated William L.. White the present incumbent and first selectman by reason of having a larger vote than any of the other candidates for selectman.
 The only contest for nomination in either the republican and democratic l city conventions was between Alfred H. Pollock and Wallace Johnson, re- publicans, for the nomination as as- | sessor. MT. Johnson is the present in | cumbent but Mr. Pollock won the | nomination. The democratic candi- date for the office, for third time l Is Thomas R. Murray, who has al- ways made a remarkable run for the place, leading his regular party vote and coming within a few votes oi winning. It will be third time in oI | out for Mir Murray. MT Pollock is not new in the political game hav- ing served several terms as selectman He, too. like many others. was ar ardent supporter of Mayor Armstrong and was retired from office.
 | The prohibitionists of New Londor have nominated a complete city ane town ticket, and 1t is a noticeable fac that among the list of candidates there are none who have been candidate: for office in any other political party with the exception of Irving U. Lyon who is candidate for alderman from the Third ward. MT. Lyon has rep resented that ward as a republican and a very progressive one at that and at a time when progressivenes: had no special political significance John S. Nolan, the candidate for board of relief, was clerk to a former re
 publican mayor or something of tha
 sort, but has been prominent in re
 publican caucuses. There are severa
 others among the list of candfdatei who have been training in the repub
 lican ranks. Therefore, the ticket l.
 made up of respectable men. the grea
 ma tority of whom were educated polit
 ically In the republican school and i
 now utilizing that political learning
 In the advancement of prohibition pol
 itics, Come 10 think it over, it i
 extremely difficult to recall a demo

 with the ballet under the banner @
 the prohibition party, Net that dem oerats are more loyal than republican
 to party, but they are entire stranger
 to anything that tends toward tn
 prohibition of the manufacture an,

 texieates. Perhaps the strongest nom inee en the whole ticket and who vii probably get a vete of democrat o 1 two. is Mrs. Eenner one of the can
