JUDGE POTTS CANDIDATE

Being led TO believe, by the little
effort required to get signatures TO
my nominating petitions, that the
people are willing that | should be
elected TO the probate office for an
other term, have filled the petitions
and announce myself a candidate.
Thanking you most sincerely for the
honor conferred in 1912, by entrusting
the cares and responsibilities of this
important office in my hands, and
pledging myself anew to do my best
in its management if reelected, l
remain, Sincerely yours,
Att. j. Lee Potts.

from which money can be taken for
further extension.
If the city expects to keep apace
with the growth in population steps
must be taken Immediately to meet
the demands of the newcomers. Ac-
tual statistics show that the city has
almost doubled It's population since
1910. In every part of the city sub
divisions are being plated and homes
are being erected. People living in
these homes want the same con-
veniences that can be had in other
parts of the city.
The location of a city power plant
and wells will have to be sanctioned
by the State Board of Health and for
that reason no definite place has been
named. The Church addition is re-
ceiving considerable approval and will
be suggested to the state board. In
discussing the cost of the construction
of buildings, stand-pipe reservoir and
installing machinery, l.. A. Gray, con-
sulting engineer from the w. T. Sher-
man Co., of Toledo, said that $4,000
would be ample for the new system.
He separated the amount into the fol-
lowing items: Building, $4,000;
stand-pipe, $1,000; machinery, $4,000;
reservoir, $4,000.

THE SENATORIAL SELECTION

Mt. Peasant, Mich, July 10, 1916
Editor
The time is approaching when we
must select the candidates for state
senator to b. voted on in November
and they should be chosen with justice
and judgment The candidates on the
Republican ticket are in the field.
Newell Smith of Gratiot county and
myself. | having held the Office for
one term.
Which of us will more nearly and
truly represent the best and most
advanced sentiment of the people in
temperance or anti-liquor legislation
which will surely be prominent fea-
ture in the 1917 session of the legis-
lature? The records in the 1915 ses-
sion shows where | stood The vici-
Gus so-called Home Rule movement,
inaugurated by the brewers and
saloonists, is sufficient proof that the
vets are alive and active and are to be
reckoned with. No man who can be
justly suspected of being in sympathy
with or who in any measure repre-
sents that proposition, whose object
is to destroy all that the people have
gained against the saloon in years of
strenuous efforts, should receive the
support of good citizen, who
believe in advance and not retrogres-
sion in this vital matter. | have no
desire to charge nor to insinuate that
Mr.. Smith is favorable to the liquor
interests for | do not know his senti-
ments. | am speaking in general
terms that apply to all candidates for
various Offices. Furthermore, it is
customary TO accord man two terms
in an Office if he proves to be capable
and faithful and there appears to be
no good reason at this time and in this
instance for departing from this Gus
tom. Another thing the senatorship
does not rightfully belong to Gratiot
county this coming term, fact that
has been recognized by some who
might otherwise have announced their
candidacy. You will remember that
Senator King occupied the Office dur
ing 1913 and 1914 and might have had
another term if he had not voluntarily
relinquished it. Let us look at the
situation just as it is and act fairly
and for the best interests of the
county and district. John A. Damon

factory feature about the house
building boom is that homes are be-
ing erected that are attractive in size
and ARCHITECTURAL design. 1t has been
the experience of most small towns
that during building booms the ma
jority of houses have been poorly
constructed and of style that de-
tracts from the beauty of the city.
While there are few houses going
up in the west part of the city the
actual enterprise is being conducted
in the east end in close proximity to
the factory center. Alma Heights is
getting its usual quota, there being
perhaps twenty homes in the process
of construction in that district. The
second ward has a few scattered
around, but the first ward out number
every section of the city, over sixty
just completed and building.
The construction of homes is be-
ing pushed with all haste, but thus
far has not reached a point where
everybody can find dwelling places
that are suitable to their needs. To
answer the purpose until houses can
be completed one real estate firm has
pitched several tents on its lots in
the east end and several families are
enjoying the pleasure of camp
ing out, although living in the heart
of the city. The families state that
for a short time the experience is de-
lightful.

COLONEL CHENEY CHOSEN
 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTOR
At Meeting Of Republican State Gen.
 traI Committee in Hartford.

At the meeting of the republican state central committee in the Allyn house. Hartford, Thursday afternoon, Louis R. Cheney of Hartford, Arthur E. Bowers of Manchester and Thomas Bryant of Torrington were elected presidential electors in addition to the four appointed at the state conven- tion.
 The meeting was opened at 2.15 by Chairman J. Henry Roraback of the state central committee. The follow ing members of the committee did not answer the roll call: Charles E. Morris of the 12th district, William H. Lyon of the 18th. Jacob D. Walter of the 18th, Martin F. Parkinson of the 17th, c. Harold Gilpatric of the 18th, and Charles A. Gates of the 29th.
 There was d contest over the rep resentation of Middlesex county on the board of presidential electors between Samuel Russell, MiddletoWn, and Hill ton c. Brooks, Chester. F. T. Clark of the 34th district, who was at the meeting, saw MT. Brooks Wednesday evening and learned from him that he had no disposition to enter into a con- test for the position. If no one else in the county had been desirous of the position of elector, MT. Brooks would in all probability have remained in the field for election.
 The committee fixed upon Oct. 13 as the date for holding statewide pri- maries for the nomination of repre- sentatives and justices of the peace.

Wife of Connecticut College President
 Will Occupy Platform.

The Equal Suffrage meeting to be held in Palmer hall, F7itchville, on Sept. 15 at p. m. is one of series of meetings which are being held throughout the country with the most remarkable results.
 Everywhere the suffrage workers go they find the way prepared by the fact that people are already discuss ing the question. The endorsen ent of woman suffrage by the two great political parties and both presider- tial candidates has led the press of the country to give it more space than any other one campaign issue, says local suffrage worker anI this has brought it as a, live question into the homes of people who have never at tended a suffrage meeting or read 6 suffra ge pamphlet.
 There are now ten leagues in the county where there were only five q year ago and three more places are considering organizing. The newly formed leagues are actually setting the pace for the older organizations and are taking up questions like get ting the women to use their school vote, the study of civics and parlia = mentary law, with great enthusiasm.
 The meeting Friday evening will be given to discussion of the "pros' and 'cons' of suffrage. The speak CTS will be Mrs. Frederick Sykes Of New London, Miss Daphne Selden, county organizer, and Miss Katharine Ludington, county chairman.

Cow arrested for streetwalking is the latest entry on the police blotter at headquarters. The arrest was made early this (Friday) morning by Po- iceman Ralph Diveto after a hard tussle on Franklin square. Bossy was sighted some time after midnight or West Main street, headed for the square. Someone telephoned this in formation to Captain D. J. Twomey at police headquarters. Immediately afterwards the green light on Frank lin square called Officer Diveto to the police telephone. Lone COW headed for the square. Watch out for her and if you see her take her ill charge" was the message he received. A few minutes later Bossy hove in sight around the bank corner, ambling along at a gait between a walk and 9 run. She drew up in front of the Capitol Lunch for minute and Off, cer Diveto threw his arms around her neck, braced himself and held on. No use; Bossy didn't intend to be stop ped. She threw in high gear and started off. Result-Officer Diveto pushed along pavement until he Iand- ed on the Yantic spur. He braced his feet against the trolley track and held on. A newspaper reporter gal lantly came to the rescue with a rope he borrowed in the lunch room. The rope was tied around Bossys neck and she was unwillingly led to B1i- ley's stables to await the arrival of her owner.

A SIMPLE. SAFE. RELIABLE WAY.

A SIMPLE. SAFE. RELIABLE WAY.
 People who are overburdened with super1uous fat know only too well the discomfort and ridicule that over-stout people have to bear.

 There is no need of anyone suff ering from superfuous fat. If you want to reduce your weight in simple, safe and reliable way, without starvation diet or tiresome exercise here is test worth trying. Spend as much time as you can in the open air, breathe deeply and get from Lee & Osgood or any good druggist a box of oil of korein cap sules; take one after each meal and one before retiring at night.
 Weigh yourself once g week so as to know just how fast you are losing weight and don't leave off the treat ment or even skip a single dose until you are down to normal
 Oil of korein is absolutely harmless. is pleasant to take, and helps digestion. Even few days treatment has been reported to show noticeable reduc- ton in weight. foo tsteps become light CT, your work seems easier and a light CT and more buoyant feeling takes pos- session of your whole being.

 STONiNGToN S46, ,557.
Sixth Annual Report Of Town School
 Committee Issued This Week.

The sixth annual report of the Stonington town school committee is now available for distribution and will be read with interest by most people who have kept in touch with the towns school matters during the past year. The financial statement shows total expenditure on the schools of the town for the year of $54,954.13 less receipts from state, tuition and all other sources of schools to the town of 6,557.41. The net cost exceeds the appropriation by s557.72. The total amount expended in salaries was S32.114.25 and trans portation changes amounted to S5,573.10. The superintendent's sal ary was $500. and the high school principal received $1,700.
 The committee explains it's action in declining to engage c. A. Woodwork as superintendent of schools for the ensuing year in the following terms: The uncouth and often coarse com ments, the unprofessionaf conduct, the lack of tact. lack of poise and peculiar temperamental character of Professor WooAWOrth convinced the committee, early in the fall (of 1915) that his practical methods were impractical for the schools of Stonington and so advised him. Early last February Superintendent Woodworth was qui- etly but firmly notified that he would not be re-engaged at the end of the school year. and he was also advised that his timely notice was given that he might have time to secure another position. At the April meeting of the school committee, when the subject of new contracts was under discussion the superintendent made the follow ing remark to the five members pres ent: Gentlemen, if youI do not hire me as superintendent the coming year I will show you up.' To this the chairman replied: Very well, Profes- sor Woodwork. if that is the attitude you take. there is no better time than now.'"
 Summing up the situation the com mittee remarks in it's report: ''The past year has been of regrettable lack of snoothness and harmony, but the good sense and strong qualities of the teaching force and pupils made a suc- cessful school year, which, with less sterling material would have been a failure"
 Under the new superintendent, Prof. William R. Snyder, the commit tee anticipates that the schools of the town will be thoroughly organized and syStematiZed
