POP PROMOTED FROM RANKS.

Washington, Aug. 27 - Secretary Daniels yesterday issued permanent commissions in the navy to POP men who won their way from the ranks and served creditab1y as temporary officers during the war. In a state ment he said in part:
 ''Termanent promotion from the ranks was won by these officers by long and honorable records. in which they demonstrated their ability to serve as commissioned officers. It was very gratifying to me to sign the commissions giving naval recognition to the singularly wol&hy men who, lacking Anna polls education, had by devotion to duty and the exhibition of large capacity qualified to serve as commissioned ofAcers along with the Annapolis graduates who had enjoyed better earlier opportunities for educa- tion.
 "It shows that the navy today is spelling opportunity never before, and that young men who come into the service and make good may look forward to rising from an enlisted man to admiral

Especial to The Times

stratford, Aug. 27-With the cards of both factions of the Stratford Re- publican party laid squarely on the table face upwards the Republican voters of Stratford last night in the most sensational caucus ever held in the town elected the delegates en- dorsed by the Stratford Republican club. to represent the town at the coming state, senatorial and congress sional conventions. More than 800 voters of the town were present in the hall, while a large number were com pelled to remain on the outside be- cause of the size of the room which was far too small to hold all who desired admission to the room and hundreds representing both factions of the party were turned away when the vote which resulted in the cleo ton of Abram Wellington as chaiS- man of the meeting over Elliott W. Peck 193 to 1856 because they had neglected to register as a Republican.
 Long before ' o'clock the voters began filling the hall and at 7:30 standing room in the hall was at a premium and when Francis Drew called the meeting to order at 8 o'clock crowds of voters surrounded the building. clamoring for admission. This condition was somewhat relieved when the doors of the town court room were swung open and making room for about 100 more but which still left many standing outside.
 The only nom ents of anger at the meeting was when Chairman Francis Drew appointed as tellers Rex Della cour, David l.. Rhoades, Edward Cur tis and George Bateman. At this point Judge Thomas c. Coughlin, Albert Goodell and Edward Birge demanded of the chairman to appoint two tellers from each faction. This matter was adjusted by Attorney Ivan l.. More house and the protesting members of the Stratford Republican club when 1t was agreed that the Republican club members should have watchers when the ballots were counted. So determined were the members of the Republican club that nothing should be put over on them as was the case last March that when ballot box was installed at the head of the chair mans table they demanded that it be opened to see that there were no bal lots already in it. Town Cler,S liar old c. Lowell was located and the box opened which revealed nothing irreg

PECK FACTION WINS
 VICTORY AT CAUCUS

ular and the ba11oting sbegan, which resulted in victory for the Stratford Republican club as mentioned above. When the encouragement of the ballot was made wild scene prevailed for a short time when a resolution was pre- sented placing in nomination for the state convention Judge Charles H. Peck, Edward s. Birge, Abram We'll ington and Edward H. Beers; for the senatorial convention. Richard J. Stanton, James Donahue, Roland Ak tell and Ollie Tenny and for the con- gressional convention Frank E. Co., nine, James J. Sexton, Clarence B. Palmer and George F. Ashe. At this point Attorney Ivan L. Warehouse came to the front. stating that owing to the heat of the evening and the time it would take for another ballot which would he said, probably result as the first one by seconding the reso- lution which passed unanimously for the above mentioned delegates to the various conventions, the caucus end ing in one of the widest scenes ever known in any Stratford Republican caucus.
 While the voters were filing out of the building some with a look of dis satisfaction and others in a delighted mood crowds gathered about the sue cessful candidates congratu1ating them on their victory and condeming the members of the recognized Re publican town committee who this week caused to be circulated a, letter giving the court records of 191 when Judge Charles H. Peck was disbared from the Fairfield County Bar asso- citation and which letter many claim ed was one of the reasons for again returning Judge Peck and his sup porters into power in Stratford poli- tics.
 The 25 special policemen who were , all on hand at the caucus, had little if any work to do. They were ably supported by the entire menb ership of the regular force whose work was no more strenuous than the special officers. The following were the de- feated candidates:s Chairman of meeting, Elliott W. Peck; state con- vention, E.. P. Bullard. F. s. Boards ley, Joseph Stempel and John Gra- ham; senatorial convention, liar old F. DeLacour, Frank E. Blakeman, B. c. Warner and R. F. Drew; con- gressional convention, J. E. Phalan, Louis J. Hermann, Donald Sammis and Henry L. Porter.
