CAHILL

 and there of the outstanding features of that attempt.
 Cahill was supposed to have candi- date but it was runored that the candi date was Cahill the Boss instead of Miles Connolly of Waterbury who was being put forth on the surface. The clever? Boss Cahill and his guardian angel matched out a scheme to throw out all primary applications on technical omission of few words on the applico- ton. To help his plan along he caused to be distributed applicants from which was omitted the words "I am not a member of or connected with any poli- tical party other than in which now seek enrolment"
 With these decoy applications he men and women up to their political waterloo. But alas the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglee and when the applications for enrolment were turned in to the Cahill registrars, 10, as if by magic, the missing words appeared on them. The<law had been complied with to every minute detail but other democrats saw to that The ap- plicants were citizens who were paying to maintain Registrar-Boss Cahill in his throne room. But what matters a fel- low citizens rights between friends Registrar Candidate Boss iCahill was beaten and the chief of staff and subor- dinates held a hurried council of war. It is runored that the chief of staff said If we let them i'll to the primary they've got us beaten. If we throw them out and beat them at the primaries they won't dare take 1t to the courts" It is also runored that an officer in charge of the con1missary pipei up with They won't have any time to take it to court. I'll see to that" and the corps of the little bosses inquiringly said Most Au gust Seer, how will thou bringest this great miracle about ?" And they ga thered around the throne as the chief of staff in attendance upon the czar laid forth his plans as follows:
 List! The lists have got to be filed Friday night, the courts are not open Saturday, we'll call the primary for Monday and then they'll vote on our lists or not at all"
 That plan was followed ort and many hdndreds of democrats prevented from their rights at the primaries. EveTl though thousands were kept off the cry of decent people in New Haven was so overwhelmingly against this arrogant czar Cahi1l as he attempted to dictate from his throne that he went down to a most ignob1e defeat and his henchmen together with himself landed in the courts and the whole. despicable scheme was shown up.
 Regstrar-Boss Wou1d-Be Sheriff ond Candidate Cahill on the night of the ca tastrophe called his followers to. meet him in the throne rooms and it is re- ported said gathered together the frag- ments of my army, less they are all con- surhed." And the chief of staff piped up again "be not disheartened o AL might Ruler, we may yet save the day" And Howl" asked the czar and the chief of staff answered 'by crying 'WolfWolf' and getting sympathy"
 But those words of wisdom did not alleviate their suferings. For without the barricaded entrance to the throne roomed paced to and fro an officer with a warrant. The inside guard opened the wicker and in alarm cried; "the orm of the law is upon Rus." It is also reported after arranging to cut the heads off the whole democratic ticket at the nearby election by not putting the voters upon the lists and by aiding the candidacy of the republican candidate for sheriff, F. w. Orr, and the republican candi- date for governor, Templeton, in dis tributing arm-bands of the republican party to the members of the army, the command was given "open the door" and i'll heroic manner, like Nero as he laughed ot the destruction of Rome, Cahill exclaimed dramatically Boys they'v got me-" and he joined the of fcer on the march to police headquar- ters
 "This IS the second episode of the history of the self-selected, only fit democrat? to represent the democratic party which it is said he sought to de stroy. It is unquestionably true that members of his army openly on election doy worked for and encouraged others to work for and try to elect republicans to office
 Some of those men are now listed as delegates from the city of New Haven to democratic state convention
 Cahill did not do all this alone but it is also true that now some of the very men he set out to knife politically are now among those in the scheme to elect him as a national delegate. To
