New Britain herald., 1916-09-29

man most fitted for the place is Rich ard Murray and I shall endeavor to have him fill the place. MT. Murray was graduated from Columbia Law school and studied for two years in the district court in New York city, when Governor Whitman was the dis trict attorney. This is not final, how ever, and I shall wait a few days to consider any other man, desired by those who are not pleased with MT. Gibney''
 Inquiry as to whether Richard Mur- ray would accept the position, at his home today, brought the answer that Mr. Murray was away.
 MT. Gibney has been prosecutor for eight years and has practically filled the position since the founding of the town court about twelve years ago. He has always served the best interests of the court and is considered one of the best lay prosecutors in the state.
 All Is Politics.
 The democrats are indignant over the action of the republican caucus in nominating a man for a place on the assessors board this year. At the caucus Carl J. Mueller was nominated lO lll lll0 SdCdllCSs dlll Ill6 lOllO W SI D of Jefferson claim this is unfair for it leaves their party without a repre- sentative on the board. Formerly there was a minority representation, but the action of a recent legislature is wrongfully understood, claim the democrats. A prominent member of the party said this morning: '"The action of the republicans in taking everything is wrong. The fact that we are not allowed a representative on the board is nothing but taxation without representation A similar condition arises on the board of re- lief.
 John A. Moore. chairman of the democratic town committee, was asked this morning why his party had failed to make any nominations for grand jurors, and he said: There is no reason why we should. The local town Ncourt can take care of all cases and it is merely an empty honor to be a grand juror. We discussed the mat ter and decided not to have any, rather than be laughed at by many citizens. Our republican brethren have placed E. W .Mildrum's name on ; the list, but we fail to see how he can serve. MT. Mildrum is a member of the finance board and when that board was created, a rule was made that @ member could not be a candi- date for any elective office.'
 The republicans claim that MT. Mil
 drum will get around this by not l qualifying for grand juror
 1 Both rarties are still working hard
 for their tickets and it seems as
 though the election Monday will be very close. It is said the republican nominee for first selectman is visit 1 ing every doubtful voter in town while the democratic nominee be-
 lieves with Wilson: that the office i should seek the man. rather than the man the office, and consequently is | not doing much healing. Several din- ncrs of an informal nature have been l given to different groups of voters | within the past week and it is ru- mored that more are in progress. The license question is also coming 1 in for considerable interest, it being | said that both the ''drys' and 'wets' 1 are making a strenuous campaign fol l votes. | Chautauuuan Lectures.
