VOTES FOR HUGHES
Casts First Ballot tn Sixteen Years
Lieutenant Ambrose |. Moriarty Carried
 10 the Polls

Lieutenant Ambrose l. Mortarty, 9th U. S. Infantry, retired, of Bradley street, Putnam, was carried to the polls Tuesday that he might east his ballot.
 The net of Lieutenant Moriarty may well put to shame those who, able bodied and well able 10 walk, will mol take advantage of the great privilege of expressing choice of candidates of men to head the aftaiis of government.
 Lieutenant Moriarty's chair was lifted into the small truck of K. II. Bradley and accompanied by his nurse, Miss Elma B, Martin, and two men, Walter A. Wheaton and John E. Daigie, the trip was made to the mu nicipal building and return. Arrived at the building Lieatenant Moriarty was carried inside the hall in his chair and his ballot was cast, the first in sixteen years.
 As be was reclining in his chair in the truck he smilingly greeted those whom he knew. The act was one that made one wish to touch his hat in salute a such Il display of Ameri. canism and Patriotism.
 The case of Lieutenant Moriarty is a most unusual one. Horn in Putnam fifty.three years ago, son of the late Mi- chael J. Moriarty he attended the pub. lie and high schools. He went 10 work in the office of the freight depot and one morning, pie king up a paper, he Saw that there wns an examination to be held in Norwich the next day for entrance to the West Point Military Academy. That night he told his mother that he thought he would try the examination. Without any pre- liminary preparation young Mofiarty went to Norwich, passed successfully and received the appointments MT Moriarty graduated from the academy in 1887 and was assigned to duty in Arizona @s second lieuten- ant. While stationed there he con tracted rheumatism from sleeping on the alkali ,soil and was soon forced to retire from active service.
 l Lieutenant Moriarty then took up ] the study of law and was admitted to l the bar. Today he is member of the l Essex County bar, New Jersey, and of the Win dham County bar, Connecti- | cut.
 The rheumatic trouble developed into rheumatoid arthritis. He has little use of his limbs and is practical ly helpless. He is Il great reader and is exceptionally we'll posted on affairs of the day. He reads by having rack | placed in front of him to hold paper or book but his condition is such that he is unable to turn the pages himself. A nurse is in constant attendance.
 Notwithstanding his great affiiction Lieutenant Moriarty is cheerful and happy, more so than many who are blessed with strong and healthy bodies. For sixteen years he has been con fined to his chair and during that time has not been in the business section of the city except as he passed through when removed from his former home on Woodstock avenue. Lieutenant Moriarty enjoys having his friends drop in for a chat sud a discussion of affairs. He has keen mind and keeps in touch with current events.
