Republican CAUCUS IuFns D0Wh posed Progressive Nominee = Hot Words from Standpatters to Seceders -Arr,ington and Kelley Unanimous Iy chosen---Probate Judge Getty Re nominated.
 A sharp line of division and separa- ton between the republicans and the progressiyes of Killingly was drawn at tfle republican caucus Wednesday afternoon about the snappiest af1alr of it's kind that has been held in kll- lingly in many day, and after ao- tournment had been taken there could be no doubt in the minds of the pro standing pat and are not making any trades in this town this year The flash and fire that marked the caucus came about as the result ol an attempt to nominate Cosmer A. Young. already nominated for repre- sentative on the progressive ticket in Killingly, for the same office on the republican ticket. The plan to do this has been in the making for several days, but those in charge met with severe rebuff in trying to put 1t over. William H. Putnam, chairman of ehe town committee, called the meet kg to order Sabin s. Russell was Sosen as chairman, and w. F. Ben btt of Dayville for clerk.
 After the reading of the call, Chair nan Russell asked for nominations for kpresentatives. Immediately Abner koung arose and named Cosmer A. foung, without making any speech. Judge Milton A. Shumway arose to point of order and asked for ruling on the matter of the caucus voting to nominate any man who would not by himself or anyone vouching for him agree to support Taft and Sherman in the November election This was re- ceived with applause. MT. Young said that he could not vouch as. to who Cosnaer A. Young or an yotler man would supports in the coming election. Judge Shumway then moved that the nomination of .Cosmer A. Young be temporarily tabled, which was done.
 Judge Shumway {. then prepared a resolution to the effect that it was the sense of the caucus that no per son be nominated who would not state or have stated for him that he would support the republican presidential electors at the November j elections. The resolution was put to a vote and declared passed by the chair though a minority of the caucus voted against its passage Judge Shumway then
 
 nation of Mir. Young be taken from thS table.
 Abner Young again explained to the caucus that he could not vouch as to whom Cosmer A Young would sup port in the coming election.
 At this point Alma Forcier, mem Der of the republican town committee. took hand in the proceedings. which were getting warmer every minute. He took issue with Abner Young. pointing out that Cosmer A. Young. had already accepted a nomination for representative on the progressive ticket and had participated in a caucus of the progressive party. T think the demo- crats would be as welcome as the pro- gressives in trying to secure a nOnli- nation for one of their candidates in tnfs caucus" said Mir. F0rcier. We have no quarrel with the pEogressives, but if you want to be progressive, be one. but don't coma here begging for q republican non1ins ton for your can- didate Mir. Young can't answer for this candidate Why should we accept {, him r 'Fr 'fg,
 MT. Forcier's peppery words started q roar. What he said evidently hit the progressives hard, for instantly Cor don A Johnstone as on his feet and was recognized by the chair,
 On MT. Johnstone's own statement, In opening, as to where he stood, Judge Shumway at once raised the point of order as to his right to ad- dress the caucus, and what MT. John stone went on to say was drowned in . hubbub of stamping feet catcalls and yells. The hall was in an uproar, but Mir Johnstone stood his ground. When the turmoil subsided he stated to tho meeting that the name of the progress sive nominee, Cosmer A. Young, had been presented in the republican cau- GUS at the instance of members of the republican town committee, who had made overtures to the progressives to bring this about in order that the re- publican candidate for senator in this district might be saved from defeat. More tumult followed this announce ment, and Timothy E. Hopkins, show ing considerable feeling, claimed the attention of the chair. insisting that Mir. Johnstone should not be allowed to occupy another minute of the time of the caucus. MT. Johnstone sat down and the storm subsided as quickly as 1t had begun
 F. L. Darbie then nominated Amos A. Huntingdon as 8 candidate for rep resenLative from the First district of Killingly, and MT Huntingdon was unanimously selected. as was likewise done when the name of w. P. Kelley of the Second district was presented a minute later. Judge Oliver E. Getty was unanimously chosen as the party's nominee to succeed himself for judge of probate. The nominations for jus tices of the peace were as follows: Harry E.. Back, A. e. Bill, Oliver E. Getty, Sabin S. Russell, W. F. Wood ward. Frank T. Preston, E. l.. Darbie, ~-TI A L. Pray.
