ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY
 FOR PROBATE JUDGEsHiP.
FIasg Promises to Make Lively Canvass For Office.

Town Clerk and Treasurer David Flagg on Tuesday announced his can- didaCy for election as judge of pro- bate for the district of Putnam. MT. FIagg will seek the republican non- ination for the office.
 The office of judge of probate in Putnam became vacant last February, upon the death of Judge Edward G. Wright who had faithfully and sue cossfUlly administered the duties of the office for long period of years. Following Judge Wright's death there was some talk of holding a special election to name his successor, but it was finally decided to cite in Judge Henry T. Child of the Woodstock court as acting judge for Putnam and he mas since discharged the duties of the office.
 The election of a judge, therefore, for Q period of two years. will be one of the matters for the voters to de- eide at the election on November '. The names of candidates for the office will appear on the state ticket.
 MT. Flagg has been clerk of the pro- bate court for Q period of IS years, during all of the time that MT Wright filled the judgeship.
 In discussing his candidacy Tues day afterESon. EIr. Flagg said that he believes that. in view of the fact that the office of the town clerk is now
 
 Church street and that he is required to be at the office six hours each day, it would be well that he also hold the OfnCe of judge of probate. The com pensatiOn that he receives as town clerk is not heavy, considering the time he is required to give to the duties of the office and the keeping of the records. By holding both offices however, he feels that in such com- bination the remuneration would be more adequate. in relation to the ser vices performed.
 Mir. Flagg says that he will be an active candidate. He has already talked with members of the republican town committee relative to receiving the endorsement of that body and will make canvass for support. MT. Flagg has made a record as a very efficient town clerk and his records are among the best kept in the state, he having introduced and personally maintained a typewriter loose-leaf ledger system that is re- garded as among the model sets of town clerks records in Connecticut.
