sTRATFORD VOTERS VIEW

To the Editor of Farmer: SIR
Having seen an article in a recent is
sue of your paper signed sfDemoc rat, .
commenting on Stratford politics and
make a few remarks. The all i'm
portant offices to be filed at the com
ing town election are the FIRST select
man. and the board of finance
Owing to the choice made by the cleo
tors at the "direct primaries it is i'm
possible to go wrong as to the board
Of finance for the reason that the
gentlemen nominated are all well
qualified for the position and no mat
ter what the selection may be the
finance board is bound to be a good
one.
ferent. While both candidates are
estimable gentlemen, one has been
tried out through long years of SER
vice and has always looked after the
welfare and interests of the town. He
is familiar with town business. He
probably knows more about the poor
laws of the state than any man in
town and in this department alone
will save the town thousands of dol
lars over what it would cost the town
under the administration of the other
candidate should he be elected. He
has knowledge of road building ac-
quired by years of experience and the
other candidate has no experience. He
is familiar with the business of the
town in all it's details. knowledge
gained by long and faithful service
are his, and his record for honesty
and fair dealing is above reproach.
The other candidate lacks experience
in public office, knows nothing from
experience of the details of the office,
and while a very estima.ble gentleman
is an unknown quantity as far as his
ability to fill the office is concerned.
My advice therefore is for all citi-
zens, regardless Of party to vote for
the known and tried man rather than
for the unknown and untried.
Yours very truly,

like garbage in q swill barrel. That's
the first step to untold misery-indi-

skin, mental fears, everything that is
horrible and nauseating. A Cascaret

bowels a thorough cleansing and
straighten you out by morning. The.

company. had rs miles of mains and
the Citizens Company, A miles.
The petitioners commended that u is
the duty of a gas company to provide
neither very much more nor very
much less than a reasonable equip
ment for the purpose of supplying its
consumers with gas, and that so far
as the duplication of pipes is waste
full and unnecessary that the invest
ment in them is not a proper charge
for the purpose of making rates.
The petitioners also endeavored 20
ascertain who are the owners or the
$1,OoO,0OO worth of bonds issued b.
the company, which provoked an OBJ
lection from Mr.. Day.
Mr.. Wilson said: THE petitioners
want to show that in this case a trans
action was accomplished by insiders
and trustees of both interests Ter their
own personal profit, by which the as
sets of the Bridgeport Company nave
been unnecessarily consumed
The question was admitted, but the
information was not accessible for the
reason that the interest on the. bonds
is paid over to the Central Trust Com
pany of New York, who pay It 20 the
bond holders.
Chairman Higgins, Of the Comu1ta-
sion, asked the petitioners ana the
respondent company to submit argu-
rnnet by brief as we'll as orally This
being the first case of its kind In the
state he desired the commission TO
have as much assistance as possible
in arriving at a conclusion"

A possibly fatal accident in which
the breaking of steering knuckle on

into a ditch after their runaway car
had made railroad speed down a hill

broke IN attempting to avoid a pool

got beyond control striking tele-

Dr. Herman who gave first aid treat
ment and had O'Connor, who seemed
the worst injured, taken in a team to
Dr. W. C. Kennedy's office. From
there the injured were taken in the
automobile of A E. Brinton to st.
Vincent's hospital in this city. The
damaged car was towed to the side
of the road and later removed to a

Through a series Of condolences 1t
appears that DR. Herman first called
to administer aid was the victim of a
similar accident at the identical spot,
while in Bridgeport a brother of Mark
Holmes, was injured at about the
same hour as the Newtown accident,
when he attempted to step from a
trolley car After treatment for a
