Political Offices to Be Filled

The usual aftermath of an electloni especially when one party succeeds an- other in power as WAS the case in the recent election, is the number of candi- dates for offices and positions.
 The representatives elected to the general assembly from Windham county towns wlll have three county commissioners to elect. The present commissioners are l.. II. Hall of Wind ham, who has been member of the board for many years and who is re- publican; F. ,. Davis of Pomfret ,dem- ocrat, who was appointed to fill the unex piTed term of the late C. k. Bar Der of Plaintield; and l.. k. Smith Of Putnam, appointed by Governor Bald win on account of the dead.loc in the assembly, this appointment being un- til the sitting of the legislature in 1915.
 As the terms of the other two men expire 1t this time under the law il leaves the three vacancies to be filled, something very unusual Now the re- publicans are again in control all three members ol the new board will with out doubt be republicans. MT. Hall has given long period of satisfactory service to the county and If he desires reelection there Is little doubt but that he will remain member of the board as his past record and familiarity with the duties will have great weight.
 Among the names heard mentioned in this section are those of E. Il. Cort- tis of Thompson who has served on the board for number of years but failed of re election two years ago on account of the disagreement of the democratic senate and republican house. Alderman.at. large, John A. Dady of Putnam, Is also mentioned as a candidate. MT. Dady is a well. known citizen of Putnam and ns successful silk thread manufacturer. He has served the city for q number Of years as a member of the common council and has represented the town in the AlOASN hA AAiN kNliNAAA anoAAiihiNs AsSRh T. Wilson is another named for the po- silion. lie has held the office of city clerk and some years ago made good showing when he ran for the office of county commissioner
 other towns and sections of the county will doubtless have candidates in the field and before the time comes for the election there will be a consid- erable number Of candidates tapping at the door.
 The Putnam city court judgeship will doubtless come in for change ss the present incumbent, Judge ] Harry Mann, was appointed by Governor Baldwin until the sitting of the next legislature, This was also on account of the dead lock. The names of Judge Fuller, whom Mann succeeded, and Deputy Judge Nj. Il. Geissler are being mentioned for this office.

Judge Sabn s. Russell for Clerk Of
 Senate
Is ibe LogrcaI cholce for That Office

Is the LogIcaI ChOlee for That Office
 Judge Sabin S. Russell of the Xiii lingly probate court, will be a candt- date for clerk of the senate at the con- ing session of the general assembly As he had been assistant clerk of the House and for two terms clerk Of that body, he is especially well qualified and fitted, and is the logical choice for this important position in the senate. The office requires q person of experi- ence and ability 10 fill 1t satisfactorily and economically as errors and mis- takes are apt to cog the wheels Of the entire machinery of both branches of the Legislature.
 Not only k Judge Russell qualified through q thorough knowledge ot whut the duties of the office require, but he has the further qualifications of an even disposition, Is accommodating and anxious to help and please others, is pleasant gentleman to meet at all times, and is faithful and conseienu- ous fn the performance Of his duties. Taking these qualifications, together with the fact that the positions he has held are natural stepping stones to the position he seeks, or, To put it the other way around, the position he seeks is in line with the positions lie has already filled and il at once becomes apparent that he is the logical and natural choice for that position and will without doubt be the choice for the place.
