Direct Nominations Lost By Close Vote New Haven Democrats Will Name Ticket In Con-
 vention
Especial to The Farmer.)


 New Haven, Aug 12-The New Ha- ven Democrats will name their ticket this fall by the convention plan it having. been so decided in preliminary primaries held last evening. Those who favored direct nominations were outvoted by a. small plurality. It is estimated that 46 delegates will favor the convention system out of T elect ed.
 Senator Jacob Frolich and Frank Kenna were the leaders in favor of direct nominations. The town com rnittee was divided on the question.
 The opponents of the direct non1i- nations worked untiringly while the advocates of the principle appeared to allow the matter to go by default.
 Even at that the advocates of direct nominations came nearer to winning than appears from the result. They carried six wards, lost another by on y four votes, another by two votes and a third one was lost to them by their failure to have their ticket named in time
 Many who voted for the convention system said they favored direct nonaf- nations but would not favor it where only one political party used it.
 +It is the best system for it gives every voter a fair chance to. vote for his choice for every office instead of de1egating the power to clique that can do as they please after they are chosen, but it can not be rendered effective until all parties are eorapel1-. ed to make the nomination in the same way and on the same day" That above is the view of one ofNthe Demo- cratic town committee who voted for the convention system.
 It is understood that John J. Lane, a member of the Paving commission and one of the leading young busin ess men of the city will. be the Demo cratic mayora1ty nominee.

Byron and Pagan, two top notchers were re- mem bered from former appearances. They have lost none of their clever ness and as for class this pair are the real essence of refinement.

EMPIRE THEATRE DISPLAYS GREAT
 MOTION PICTURE
Miss Helen Gardner Seen in the Title Role of "The Wife
 of Cain''

At the Empire theatre this week there is being shown a picture which is not along distinctfvs from the fact that at least one of it's participants belongs in this city, but from the fact that it is probably one of the most artistic in it's conception and scenario which has been projected in local house for some time past
 This picture is the product of the pen Of Charles [. Gaskell, a well known writer and 'dramatist and is en- titled 'SThe Wife of Cain.' Foremost in it's enactment is seen Miss Helen Gardner, of this city, whose dramatic force, graceful movement and facial characteriza ton of the part are a worthy tribute to the years she has spent under the most eminent tuti- Iage.
 In three reels, t'The Wife of Cain" is classical in its treatment of the subject. and can only be ikened in it's environment to "A Midsummer Nights s Dream or Peter Pan.'' It is teem- ing with action and through the beau tifuI t1ocations'' selected by the direc- tor gives that open-air action which nghtens the production and gives 1t a warmth seldom seen in the made by-night'' dlns-
 The theme is neither historical nor theological, though it apparently deals with that period when Cain and Abel thrived in the Garden of Eden. With the love of a beautiful woman (Ad1ss Gardner) one brother kills the other and becomes an outcast. Pledged to marriage to a tyFannoits chieftain, who tmprisons his first wife, the girl seeks refuge in, the wilderness with the slay- CT of the brother. She returns to be- come the bride of the tyrant who is killed by the first wife on her escape from a. rock-hewn dungeon. Both girl and fraticide are imprisoned, later to be rescued niracu1ouslv -ough the accidental hanging of the first wife, and they live to found a great city.
 The scenic effect is startling in or igina1fty and beauty ana sas whole stl1is picture will. mot only prove lin-, terestfng from it's local perspective but will give great pleasure to the low CT of art in the motion-fllm.

PARK THEATRE
WATsON sIsTERs.

Kitty Watson declares that the sue cess of an actress is due in a, very large manner to the care with which she dresses lon and off, as the phrase goes. There's more character in dress than most people imagine" she de- CIares There is a great difference between the well dressed man and the well dressed woman. You never no- tice that the well dressed man is dressed at all, while you feel instinct lively the moment she dawns upon your delightful vision that the well dressed woman is the latest thing in beautiful clothes And yet if one were put into a witness box and cross examined as to the precise reasons why a certain woman is perfectly dressed it would be a difficult matter to explain in de- tail It may be a plume in the hat, or a curl falling over the ear, bunch of A0ft f1oWery lace around the swan like neck, or a knotted ribbon, or, in fact, anything that gives the touch of perfection and picturesqueness
