PUTNAM

Study during Wednesday of the election returns shows that the republican organ ization of Putnam made good in greater degree than did the party's workers in any of the larger towns hereabouts.
 All candidates on the republican ticket in this city were elected by sub stantial majorities, a similar margin given for candidates on the state ticket, while a surprisingly large vote was giv- en G. Harold Gilpatric state treasurer, who received majority of 1868 in this his home city. This is the largest ma jority ever given a candidate with op- position in Putnam and attests the popu- larity of the genial treasurer in his home town. The record shows that more than half of those who voted the democratic ticket in the local election split their tickets so as to give Treasurer Gilpatri. vote.
 Up in Thompson the democrats man. aged to break through the republican line for gain of one representative, Fred A. Munyan, democrats, being elected along with Fred L. Hutchins, republican. This was forecasted for the past three weeks and was due, it is said, to certain operations within the republican party that did not appeal to the voters in the industrial villages of the town.
 Pomfret elected two republican repre- sentatives, J. Fred Ash and Joseph Stod- dard, Woodstock two more. Eastford will have one republican and one demo- cratic representative in the next house. As usual, Ashford was democratic
 In Windham county as a whole the republicans normal ma jority was ma l'teria1ly reduced and party leaders re- alized on Wednesday that they must work and work hard to bring the voters back irf,, 1tVA kafA so1 .1a of 1924. | The. refusal of the school committee of the town of Killingly top ay transporta- tion to the state trade school in his city for any person no considered child has raised an interesting point and the attor- ney general of the state has been asked to make a ruling on what the word chill l dren means, as to age, in the statute un- | der which provision is made that trans portation shall be available in towns where no state trade schools are located for persons whowo uld attend such 1 schools in other towns of the state.
