Fairfield, Sept. 10-Though the pow CTS that are supreme in dictating inc
 affairs of the Republican party in town have promised the Probate judgeship to Justice Bacon Waixeman, they are going to have a stiffer fight on their hands when the time comes for making the final selection than they now see Justice Wakeman has been promised the nomination. and IS
 laying back waiaing for the Repubi- can voters to make the final declara- tion next Monday evening when the
 Republican cuscus will be held
 There are many in town who feel that the justice is well taken care or at the present ime and that fat fees are coming his way in his present po- sition. Very seldom, if ever, are court | cases heard before any other local justice though there are others will Dave Burr, deputy sheriff during the
 latter part of. the regime of sheriff Sidney E. Hawley, is being pushed by his numerous friends to make a run for the nomination. Burr is unwill- | ing but his friends will not stand for his pulling from, the race now that 1 they have pushed him into it. Burr l is lined up with the forces that have
 promised the position to Justice Wake
 man and for that reason in view of the fact that there might be better things to hand out later on, Burr is unwilling to run. But as stated De- fore, his friends will not take this Tor an excuse and are determined to place him before the caucus

 the justice, he evidently knows what he is talking about.
 All is not serene in the Republican ranks, there will be scraps for other nominations than thac of Judge of Probate It is rumored that there will be something sprung within the next few days that will affect the oc- cupants of the selectmen's office. It is stated that Second Selectnlan- John c. Lobdell has tired Of the office an:i desires to step down. Also 1t IS =-u- mored that First SelectInan Charles A Rowe feels that he has given too
 much of his time tending to the lead ing duties of the. town and is also WlIlng 10 Sl0p dS4Oe or dAOl34SA- I1C will, it is stated, consider running sec ond on the ticket.

 Warden John E. Boyle, though ha has not made any arrests, is accom- p1ishing very effective work in carry i ing out his duties as deputy game and 1 fish warden. Warden Boyle feels that I the less arrests an official makes the | better his work. He has been watch fu1 Of all hunters who have been around these parts, and has yet to 1 find one of the many he has ap- l preached who has not the legal right | to hunt. But two com mpla ints have i been made to him since he was sworn 1 in as deputy, but in neither Of these was arrest necessary. Because of the many laws governing game and other 1 birds, there is apt to be much con fusion among hunters. Warden Boyle
 states that should there be any doubt i in the minds of any of the nature of | the laws in which he is now familiar l he will explain their operation He 1 states that the law rail will be off I on Thursday of this week, and will not be effective again till Dec 31. | The law on quail woodcock cartridges 1 and phesants is off. from Oct .. to
