Cramped For Room,
 Machinists Can't
 Find Place For Home

Plans for the Machinists' Home. funds for which have been raised by the members of the two locals in this city, have been interrupted by the in- ability of the union to find a suitable building which may be purchased for the purpose.
 Arrangements that were being made for a centraliy-located structure failed to result in a deal. A committe is still seeking a building.
 Although the union prefers to buy a structure, it is possible conditions will make 1t necessary to build. The size of the union makes it harder daily to accommodate the present quarters to the needs of the members.
 The rooms at 27 Cannon street are now used merely for the executive of- fees and recreation rooms. \Hibernian hall has been obtained for a tempor- ary meeting place. because the union had outgrown the hall on Cannon street

 LEADERS SCRAP IN TOWN CAUCUS
Younger Element Puts Up Fight For Registrar of
 Voters Job.
(Special to The Farmer.)


 NeUtown, Sept. 13-The Republican caucus for town officers Monday night was enlivened by a contest. Charles G. Peck, who is the warden or the borough, has held the position of Re publican registrar of the town. The gauge of battle was thrown down by Rodney Shepard and the young Re publicans behind him scored 26 votes against 36 for Peck in the largest Re- publican caucus held here in many years,
 The contest is made interesting to Democrats by the fact that it dlsclos- ed a serious note of discord in the personnel of the Republican town committee. Back of Shepard was Will son M. Reynolds, the chairman of the town committee, while the other four members stood pat for Peck. The ex- 'citement reached white heat at one time in the caucus, and timely ad- journment prevented an open break. As it was, the Republicans from the outlying districts are loud in com plaint over the makeup of the ticket, maintaining that the important off, cers nominated are all from the Gen. tre. .
 There was no contest in the selec- ton of nominees for selectmen, but the rest of the ticket showed smolder- ing opposition which almost culminat- ed in revolt over the contest for reg istrar of voters in the First district.
 The ticket selected is as follows:
 Assessor-H. W. Wheeler.
 Board of Relief-R. H. Beers, three years; Charles N. Beresford, to fill va cancy.
 Selectmen-W. B. Glover and N. M. Curtis.
 Auditor-W. Finch.
 Grand Jurors-P~H. Cannon and c. L. Page. /
 Tax Collector-John F. Houlihan.
 Constables-C. P. Johnson, William Gower, E. K. Thrall, Jr., and Thomas Carlson.
 Registrars of voters-First district, Charles B. Peck; Second district, l.. P. 'Briscoe.
 High School Committee-A. P. Smith and H. N. Tiema m, ST. School Visitor-H. N. Tiemann, ST., three years.

DANBURY FAIR DOG
 SHOW PREMIUM LISTS
 ARE UNUSUALLY LARGE

The premium lists for the. Dan bury Dog show are now in the mail, and will furnish the dog fanciers with several surprises. One of them is the liberality of the classification, which has been amplified by the addition of numerous classes, and the providing of separate classifications for several breeds hitherto neglected in making up the list for this show.
 Another factor that will tend to make the thirty-third annual dog show of the Danbury Agricultural society, to be held in connection with the Danbury Fair on October 4, and 6, interesting, is, the amount of money to be won. There is money in every class, besides $10 to the first s5 to the second. and $3 to the third prize winners in every open class. This, in connection with an enlarged classi- ficatiqn and plenty of specials. will give every exhibitor a chance to leave Danbnry with money lin his pocket. Unclassified specials will also be an added feature-there is quite, a list of them, and here, too, the Danbury Agricultural I society gives large number of specials. Radius classes lidNc dISO Deeu pTONlueu, Wrtn UlOn0y for the three winners in each.
