Democrats Name Their Complete Ticket

Without the slightest bit of friction be- ing evident, the democratic ticket for the town election in October was nominated at the caucus held in the town hall Fri- day evening. The caucus was very har- nnonious and there was notable absence of long speechmaking in which it is cus- tomary to extol the virtues of the demo- cratic party and the reasons why the people should vote the ticket
 William H. Callahan chairman of the democratic town committee, called the meeting to order and John J. Corkery was chosen moderator and J. A. Desmond clerk. MT. Corkery, in taking the chair, said that he wished the 6S who were present, six of whom were women, to come forward, as this was a get-together meeting, and the democrats should hang together. MT. Corkery went on to say that it always gave him great pleasure to preside at a caucus, but he regretted that since the last time two active men- bers of the party had passed away. These two members had long served the party faithfully and well. Both men were of splendid character and are greatly missed in the community and in public life. Their genial ways and pres l ence here and on the streets and at the | freside of their homes is greatly missed These two men, Thomas A. Robinson and | Joseph T. Tanning, were always held ir | esteem by the citizens of Norwich, and | everyone here extends their sympathy tc their families.
 | Also since I presided at caucus con. | tinued MT. Corkery, the women have SC cured a voice in the government Every 1 family in the country contributes to tn, | support of the national government. The, also contribute to the local government which is most important. When one part,
 gets in rut it is difficult to get out, ana | this has been evidenced in the republican administration when the present incunl bents have failed to satisfy themselves a
 well as the community. I refer to tn
 action of the towns representatives ii
 the last session of the legislature and t
 the water board controversy. It woul
 be sad loss if the democrats were no
 elected. and it is urgent that these be re
 turned at this coming election.
 The caucus then proceeded to th
 naming of the ticket T. c. Murph
 nominated Errol C. Lillibridge for frs
 selectman.. Edward T. Burke then aros
 to nominate P. T. Cornell for second st
 1ectman. MT. Burke before nominatin MT. Connell indulged in some caustic re marks about reporters being supposed

 The Bulletin would be fair minde enough to quote the good things we den
