Theodore BIackert and Edward Skinner hace retained the law firm of Kleiner & Quinn, New Haven, to di- rect their battle with the Town Council for a decision as to just W ho will perform the duties of the resis trars of voters. A great many voters took the trouble to endorse the two capable gentlemen at the last cleo ton, but two other tnnocents have been named for the slaughter by the pIomacy for the council to have gone through the "wrigamaroI' of ap pointing registrars, according to the interpretation of the new charter and to have appointed Blackert and Skinner.
 Previously it had been rumored that ex-Governor Baldwin had been retained to defend Blackert and Skin ner, but the rumor was only a rumor.

 With the team work exhibited in Stratford since the war, the town has not had much chance to get out of last place in the Municipal league.
