 So ought I not to feel proud and 400, GOO such men? I do feel proud, a pride which will enable me to per form my duty so that at. the end of my term of office the humbIest in the ranks may take my hand and say he is satisfied with my stewardship.

MUCH FOR VOTERS TO

Especial to The Farmer.O

Stratford, Oct 12-.The annual town meeting which was adjourned be held Wednesday night. If indica-- t1ons are accurate there will be some thing doing. The voters of the town have had time to read up the report of the town officers and they have not given universal satisfaction. The information contained in the little book which the taxpayers are obliged to pay for is as meagre as usual in these volumes, which are annually handed around to bewilder the gen eral reader. The officials are safe because they know that it would re- quire weeks of persistent effort to go to the bottom of the items which ap- There is a strong feeling in the town that the. books sho ouId be looked over by an expert. This is especially true of the school committed. Bridgeport is to have an investigation of the doings of its board of education and Stratford might gain by 1t. There is only one objection, and that is the attendant expense. The town has been asked to throw away money so many times for useless schemes that the voter has become disgusted. There is a, general desire to know who re- ceived the $500 which was appro- priated to survey the town for sewers. was made or that the work cost the amount appropriated. The library board asks for an addition of $500 to their appropriation. This will be de-

The voters of the town have become suspicious of the library and one man said yes terday, f'I will not vote for any more money to maintain a gossip shop which is run in the interest of any class or portion of the community. if the library is to be supported by the taxpayers of the town every one in the town is entitled to equal rights there. There's lot of favoritfsn shown in the management of the in stitution. A working man who has occasion to visit the place to obtain information he needs is made to feel that he is out of place The general public don't get a chance at a new book until the select set at the Centre is done with it. We are asked to u. in our hard earned dollars and then are told that we have no rights that are worthy of consideration There are other who feel the same way.

BEDDING DEMOCRATS
 COMPLETE TICKET
TWO ABLE MEN ARE NOMINATED
 FOR REPRESENTATIVE
Present Capa1e Judge of Probate is Renominated-Stron Speech By
 IL. o. Peck.

Bedding, Oct. 12-The Democrats o1 this town completed their nominations for the present campaign at a well attended caucus held on Thursday ev- ening these candidates being named Representa- tives-T. Marvin Stocking ot Georgetown and Emory P Sanford of the east side; judge of f--probate,. Jona- than R. Sanford; justices of the peace J. L. B1ackman, Walter F. Rowland William A. Lounsbury, w c. Sanford. Rufus A Lyon.
 The Republican nominees for repre- sentatives are. William E. Hazen and William H. Hull, and for judge of pro- bate, Herbert S. Barnes.
 At the Democratic caucus Michael Connery was first named for represen- tatfve by acclama tion but declined and MT Stocking was then nominated without dissenting voice. He is a merchant and a man of character and nigh standing in the community. E. P. Sanford was at first disinclined To accept a place on the ticket, but yielded to earnest persuasion when he found that no one else in his section of the town desired. the nomination He was a candidate for the same off, flee several years ago and although de- feated made a remarkable rum coming within fifteen votes of election at a period when the town had the habit of going Republican by about 100 ma jOrity. As in recent years the town has shown a steadily increasing tend ency towards the Demo ocratic side the success of Messrs. Stocking and Sam ford would seem to be pretty we'll as- sured
 The nomination of J. B. Sanford for judge of probate is a deserved recogni- tion of the ability and fidelity with which he has filled the office dur ing the past two years. That he will be commissioned for another term hardly admits of a doubt
 After the caucus had made it's se- lections two rattling good speeches urging loyal and unanimous support of the candidates were made by L. O. Peck and D. $. Sanford MT Peck laid special stress on the duty of all good citizens to vote for representa- tives in the Legislature who would the public interests for hire subser- vient to the wishes of party leaders aetuated by improper motives. A Con- necticut legislator, he said, was likely to be subjected to strong emptations and it required strong moral fiber as we'll as good intentions to keep in the straight path of duty.
 Both MT. Hazen and MT. Hill have been mem bers of the Legislature, the latter serving several terms The last one brought him an unpleasant exper- fence in the shape of a bench war rant arrest for non compliance with the provision of the Corrupt Practices Act requiring candidates to make re. turn of their election expenses. There were many other prosecutions under the act but MT. Hill was the only leg islator among them and the only one among the defendants for whom g bench warrant was issued.

JACK BRETON, 27, IS
 FIGHTING LIKE A CHAMPION

jack Britton the lightweight who has been whipping every man he meets of late, will celebrate his twenty-sev- enth birthday tomorrow, having beKn born in Clinton, N. Y. on Oct. 14, 1885
 In private life Britton is William J.
 Breslin. He is of Irish descent, stands five feet eight inches, and on his fighting clothes tips the beam at 133 to 135 pounds. Brittons manager has been trying to get match with Pack ey Mcfarland on any old terms, but Packey has shown no great enthusi- asm for another set-to with the lanky boxer. Early last year, in Memphis, Packey and Britton went eight rounds to a draw, but a majority of the fans of the Tennessee city believed that Jack made the better showing. Last month in New York Britton took on the clever Eoosier fighter, Jack Red mond and beat him all the way Red mond's hoIdin-on tactics and ability to stand punishment enabled him to stay the full ten rounds, although he was once sent down for the count of nine. Britton commenced fighting seven years ago, and his. record for three years was one continuous string of victories, until in 1908 Leo Houck held him to 8 draw. In the follow ing year he whipped Houck twice, and defeated Jack Curley, Kid Farmer, Patsy Hogan and Jim Dasher in bouts in Savannah, Ga. In March, 1910, he defeated Mike Memsic at Atlanta. The following month he returned to Sa- vannah and fought Dummy Decker. In the first bout the Dummy manage to get a draw but a little later was deeisiveIy beaten by Britton. Brit ton suffered his first defeat, aside from

bout he had lost on a, foul to Kid Farmer, when he met Ray Bzonsou In New Orleans, June 90, 1910. Next he defeated Jack McGuire and Bert Keyes at Savannah and Kid Farmer at Mem phis, and fought draws with Young Saylor, Frankie White, Ray Temple and PacI1ey Mcfarland. At St. Joseph he fought fifteen rounds with Jake Ba- rada, winning the decision. BrittOn's first trip to the Pacific coast resulted rather disast trolLsIy. He was defeated by" Jerry Murphy and Willie Etltchte at San Francisco, but celebrated hlG birthday a year ago by winning tlse decision over the clever Johnny Mo Carthy in a ten round bout in Sacra- mento This year, under the man agenent of Dan Morgan, Britton has been better than ever, and his adTr1tr- CTS believe he could make things live ly for Champion Ad WoLgaSt or Pack ey Mcfarland. the Chicago wizard.
