E. L. Dabie, Republican Nominee Will Not Late
 of Filing Nomination.

Mrs. Dorothy Jones Bartlett's name will appear in the Democratic column ii the state ticket on election day as nominee for senator from the Twenty tight District. The nomination of the candidate from Putnam comes as a surprise as 1t was not believed that the Democrats had made any nomina- tiau for senator.
 That Mrs Bartlett's name has been received at the office of the Secretary of state for printing on the official ballot was learned in Danielson, the heme of Attorney Ebert l.. Darbie, Republican nominee for senator, Wed nesday.
 i Patriot representative made in- auirv about the situation. Thursday. Mrz. Bartlett said she had been ap- prnached and asked if she would con- sent to become a candidate and had said that she would She said that, while she realized there was little or no hope of being elected. she felt it the duty of her party to make a nomina- tion. and her own personal duty to take the nomination if it was so de- sired that she should.
 No Nomination
 While The Patriot learns that on Saturday October 8. few Democrats gathered at the municipal building in senatorial convention. no nomination was made at that time. l. was voted ,o empower the chairman. Lawrence J Keegan of Wilsonvlle to make the appointment. Mr Keegau could not be reached on the telephone. Thursday

Attorney Darbie. ae- eurding 10 the following item appear ing in a Norwich newspaper from Danielsen. is not going to question the validity of the belated nomination:
 Will Not Object
 Attorney E. L. Darbie is to have some opposition for the senatorship from the 28th District after all, not that he could not be rid of it if he SO desired. but being good battler, be- cause he rather relishes it. Mrs. Dor othy Jones Bartlett of Putnam is to be a candidate against him. He was so informed from the office of the Secre- tray of State at Hartford and told that if he wished to file a remonstrance against Mrs. Bartlett's candidacy he might dc so. for her name arrived for printing on the ballots after the time for filing the names of nominees had long expired Mir Darbie said that he understood that Mrs. Bartlett's name as candidate for senator from this district was received at the secretary's office either Tuesday night or Nedues- day morning.
