MUNICIPAL SALOON PAYS
BIG RETURNS AT SlSSETON

sisseton, S. D., March 27.-The sue
cess Of the municipal saloon at Sisseton
has caused many of the towns in the
state to investigate the proposition
for urposes of enlulating Sisseton'S
example. The investigation has re-
vealed the fact that two men, interest
ed in the regulation of the liquor traf-
fic, joined together, took up the two
licenses granted the town under the
900 to l" law, merged their interests
and have been conducting a most prof
table business for the community.
The result has been that within six
months checks for 81, 900 have been
urned into the city treasury, and an
other check for $4,000 has been turned
into the good roads fund of the town:
this III addition to paying the $1,000 for
the two licenses. 1t is estimated that
fully $4,000 will be cleared up by the
venture the first year, all of which will
go into the public treasury.

The recent republican field day and sheep roast, at Bridgeport, will soon be reproduced in the movies, according to an announcement in the Moving Picture World, the festive event having been photographed by movie artist. The film will show. the state committee in session, with J. Henry Roraback presiding; the parade, Gin which more than 5000 men with 20 bands and drum corps took part, and the sheep roast and picnic at the Aerodrome. "In the pictures, says the announce ment, "are the leading and lesser re- publicans from all parts of the state, :" and the films will be booked in all the movie honses in Connecticut.
 It will be an attraction worth watch ling for, where there are moving picture houses; and not the least exhilarating feature will be the discernment of the beholders in distinguishing between the leading" republicans and the lesser republicans, and the readiness of the "lessers" to recognize themselves under that head, in the pictures. Those who were present at the festivities will be 10th to admit that there were any "lessers" in the crowd-unless they were democrats.

THE CONVENTION.

Today the republicans will assemble in the Hyperion Theater in New Haven to nominate candidate for Governor and select candidates for the other state offices, including the United States Senatorship. There seems no reason to doubt that Senator Frank Brandegee will be nomintaed to succeed him; in fact, no other candidate has been seri- ously mentioned.
 In the matter of the governorship, it appears to be 8 toss-up between several logical possibilities--Judge Marcus Holcomb, Judge W. F. Henney, former Lieutenant Governor Dennis A. Blakes- lee and Speaker Morris O. Webster are apparently the most conspicuous targets for the gubernatorial lightning, and many reputation for prophecy will be crippled if one of the four doesn't get squarely hit. Howell Cheney, of Man. chester, and Jonathan Godfrey, of Bridgeport, are also running, and the names of Judge Silas A. Robinson, of Middletown, and Mayor Clifford B. Wilson, of Bridgeport, have been brought into the speculative discussion within few days, Our own state sena- tor, E. B. Gaylord, of Winsted, has been suggested by Senator Mayro Keeney as one who would make a strong candidate for governor.
 The assurance has been given that the nomination will be made by the convention, and not dictated by any boss; which is calculated to justify the inference that no one name has been decided upon, nor will be decided upon until the tellers of the convention count the final vote, though there may be a lurking suspicion that at the gathering of the clans last night, for the prelim- inaries to the big event of today, the perspective may in some way have focused on some particular shining mark for the lightning. A few hours will tell the tale.
