hour to cast the vote. There were
2S2 ballots found in the box, of which
Byrne had POS and Richard II. Byrne
was declared nominated.
The fact that the Republicans had
given warning that they would hold
their caucuses at 8 o'clock and the
Democrats that they would hold their
caueuses fifteen minutes later, caused
the voters to gather about half past
seven. Late corners had difficulty in
crowding through the crowd of those
waiting in the corridors of the build
ing. Ward caucuses were held in the
council chamber, selectmen's room
and city court room. These went of
in short order as there were no con-
tests arssag tke Republicans. The us
ing of the check list on the ballot for
t-large by the Republicans
caused the Democrats, who had held
their ward caucuses, to wait until the
Republicans had finished. Many stood
in the rear of the accembly room and
watched proceedings.

by Hermon G. Carver, chairman OF
the Republican city committee. John

Darkness When Lights Went

Had Failed to Pay Light Bills For
Three Months

J Twenty-four families in Putnam
wegs like unto Moses one night this
week when their lights were turned
off by the Putnam Light & Power Go.
1t is a rule of the company that
subscribers who do not pay their light
bills after the third notice by the
tenth of the third month viii be shut
off from the source of supply. Twen-
ty-four such delinquents found their
homes in darkness one night this week
and there was busy time at the Office
of the company.
In one family there are several chill
dren and as there were no lamps or
candles in the household the home
was in utter darkness and it was with
difficulty that they finished their eve

lesson and will realize hereafter
that the little warning stamped on
their light bills by the company is not

The large gathering of electors in
attendance at the caucuses for the
nomination of city officials, held at
the municipal building last Friday
night, debates the passing of the leg
arthy existing for several years in
city election politics. This large at
tendance of the voters has but one
signifieance-that there is to be an
animated contest waged on election
day, Monday, December list. 1t is ap-
parent that the Republicans are to
make strong effort to wrest the bal
ance of power from the Democratic
party which has been in control for
the past four years.
The Republicans nominated Mayor
Allie w. Marcy for another term,
while the Democrats We're unable up
to the time of the caucus to produce
a candidate to head their ticket. The
party left the space at the top OF their
ballot blank but empowered the city
committee to fill the vacancy.
The most important contest that
'eveloped was that between John b.

MILE. VERLET ARRIVES
Eminent Prima Donna to Sing At
Bradley Theatre Recital This
Evening

Mile. Alice Verlet, who will be
heard in recital at the Bradley the
atre this evening, arrived nj Putnam
this morning and is at the Putnam
Inn. Her recital, to be given this
evening at the Bradley theatre, under
the auspices of the Putnam Music
Shop, will undoubtedly attract large
audience.
Mile. Verlet is one of the most
eminent prima donnas now on the
American stage. Shortly after the
beginning of the war she came to
America and began concert tour
which is the head and fount of all that
and the records which she has made
under the direction of the Edison
company are among the most popular
on the market.
Mile. Verlet is representative of the
best colarature in vocal art. She is
no newcomerto Connecticut, in fact,
one of her first appearances in this
country was when she replaced Mag
gle Teyte with great success in con-
cert at Hartford, when the former
prima donna was too i'll to sing. On
that occasion, having just landed in
this country, she sang a most difficult
program before a critical audience,
and one which was somewhat disap-
pointed over the failure of Miss Teyte
to appear, but the plucky little Bel
eian singer met with the greatest sue
cess.
Mile. Verlet has had career of
which any singer might be proud. Her
first appearances were made at the
Theater de la Monnaie, Brussels,
which is the head and font of all that
is excellent in French operate art.

Night
Body Discovered by omer Bernier,
Boiler Tender, Thursday Morn

Charles Jackson of South Wood

of the John A. Dady Corporation, Bull
lock street, was found dead in the
mill shortly before I O'Clock Thurs
day morning by omer Bernier, the
boiler tender. Mr.. jackson was 6s
years old and died from heart failure,
Mr.. Bernier said; u came to work
about ten minutes to seven Thursday
morning. The first thing | noticed
was that the lights were still burning
and that the fire in the boiler was
out | thought | would go in and
turn off the lights and as passed The

He was half reclining in one chair
with his feet ON another chair Be
side him were his glasses. bottle of

looks of him. While it startled ME
did not speak to him us | knew he Was
gone. All said was, Poor old man.
| went up to Jackson and shook him.
This confirmed my belief that he was
dead. | called the medical examiner
and he came later"
Mr.. Bernier said that Jackson had
complained of not feeling well. Ber-
nier helped him shovel on some coal
before he, Bernier, left for home, and
jackson thanked him, saying that he
was short Of breath.
1t would appear that Jackson was
tskcn i'll shortly after he went to
work, for apparently no coal had been
put in the boiler. Jackson's lunch
pa,s-was also beside him and the con-
tents had not been touched. All OF
the evidence points to the fact that he
passed away early In the evening. He
had been at the mill but five weeks
and drove to and from South Wood
stock to his work
Mr.. jackson was born in Wood
stock in April, 1851, and has always
lived there He was well liked and
respected in the community He

RED CROSS DRIVE
EXTENDED A WEEK

w. f. Macdonald, chairman of the
third Red Cross roll call, announced
Thursday evening that Putnam dis
trict so far has enrolled 1900 men,
bers. Several of the captains have
not been heard from and it is safe to
assume therefore that this number
will be materially increased when all
reports are received.
The Atlantic Division headquarters
has notified all chairmen of local dis
trlcts that the drive has been extend
ed a week. This it is said is due to
the fact that elections and other ac-

ARMISTICE DAY
Is LEGION'S FETE
Anseim Mayotte Post Observes
Day With Social and
Dance
Bonfire, Bugle Calls and False Alarm
Add to Anniversary

Putnam's celebration of Armistiee
Day was. rightly, in the hands of
those to whom the armistice meant
the most-those who were serving in
the ranks when that most famous
hour in all history=ll o'clock, No
vember 18th. 1918, silenced the guns
of the Great War. As the day was
not legal holiday in Connecticut the
city was quiet until after sunset. Then
things began to happen.
First of all, Anselm Mayotte Post,
of the American Legion-of which
Putnam is justly proud since this is
the largest post in the state east of
the Connecticut River-held open
house in Union hall and acted as host
to a crowd numbering between five
and six hundred guests. Then there
was the bugler who stationed himself
IN front of the railroad station and
RECALLED the city with calls from
assembly" to taps and finally
there was the practical jokester who
built huge bonfire at the corner of
South Main and Front streets follow
ed by false fire alarm which brought
many citizens to respond to the call
sounded at box %. Altogether Put
nam may be said to have held its
own in a first observance of the an
niversary, considering that the day
was not strictly holiday.
The American Legion ball, planned
as the first of such affairs to be held
on Armistice Day each year, opened
at S o'clock in the evening in Union
hail, when the buglers of Pops jazz
band blew "reveille9 and the bali
opened. Members of the post accom-
panied by friends were present in uni
form, indicating the various branches
of the service to which Putnam con-
trIuted. There were sailors and air
men. nurses, soldiers, officers and one
man in the uniform of the British
Forces.
Shortly after 10 o'clock supper
was served, consisting of ice cream
and cake and punch, given to the pest
by The Putnam Patriot. As the I'M
favorable weather kept many from
attending, large amount of the sup
per supply was left and this was sent
TO the Day Kimball hospital with the
compliments of the post. The men,
bers of the committee of arrange
ments were assisted in serving by the
following ladies: Mrs. Mark Lewis,
Mrs. Thomas W Culley, Mrs. David
Carroll and Mrs May Baker.
At II O'Clock all men and women
who had served in the war were as
sembled in the center of the hail,
standing at attention while the or
chestra played "The Star Spangled
Banner" followed by TAPS" sounded
in memory of those who had fallen.
A toast to the health of the post fol
lowed.
Dancing continued until "taps" was
again sounded at midnight, when the
crowd dispersed, the post having the
