Political interest in Plainville is
being focused upon the state cleo
tion In November almost to the ex-
clusion of the town election to be
held on October /. and the local
balloting has aroused practically no
attention In spite of the fact that
both parties will hold their caucuses
on Monday night.
The republican town committee
met last night and devoted its en-
tire attention to the state election
when it is hoped to turn out a
larger vote than has ever been the
case In the past 4 great effort will
be made TO line up as many new
voters as possible for that election
and to see that all the ito be
mades" are made" For this pur-
pose house-to- house canvass will
he made by the majority party.
Chairman Ralph L. Seymour of the
republican town committee stated
today. Plainville has again been
honored by having Governor John
II. Trumbull renomlnated for the
highest post in the state, and 1t Is
hoped by the republicans that the
voters of the town will back him
as they have in the past and help
pile UP majority for him and the
national ticket
The democrats are marking time
at present, waiting for the end of
the state convention in New Haven,
where Ernest J. Millerick and
Frank j. O'Brien are attending as
delegates from this town. They have
also been planning a more active
campaign than in the past and hope
to cut down the G. o. p. majority
even If they cannot wipe it out en-
tirely.
Nothing has developed yet re.
garding announcements of candi-
dacies for representative from this
town. When questioned this morn.
ing. Robert b. White. the present
asseniblyman. said that he had not
yet given thought to the matter. His
predecessor, John j. kimmel, has
expressed himself as unwilling to be
candidate for any office in the
future, having decided 10 retire from
politics.
Both parties will hold caucuses
Monday night at 5 o'clock, the re-
publicans In the high school audi
forum and the democrats in the
Town hall, and will nominate can
didates for the town election. There
seems to be general feeling of sat

holders, and it is expected that both
parties will again place in the field

various offices and on the several

BY refusing wage workers funda-
mental rights accorded other citizens,
the injunction judge rejects govern
ment by law and sets up court of

The injunction process is neces-

that it be used as originally intended,
and not to curtail human rights, and
to establish man government.
The workers will continue their
agitation against this wrong, confident
that an enlightened public opinion will
overcome the power of the compara-
tive few who profit by cour usurpa-

National holidays in America call

this rule.
The first Monday in September is

rather to attract us to their prob
lens, their triumphs and their wrongs.
Labor Day is milestone that

Labor Day is an American institu-

1t was adopted by the American Fed

BATHERS BEWARE
Alexander's Lake Again Closed
to Clandestine Swimmers
BY State Board

The edict has again gone forth that
clandestine bathing in the clear water
of Alexander's Lake must stop. DIR.
Stanley II. Osborn Of the State De-
partmcnt of Health is determined 70
rid the lake of bathers. Members Of
the state department have put up signs
warming against bathing and prosecu-
tions will follow if the warning is
disobeyed. II is said that the cottag-
ers around the lake will cooperate with
the health department. A number of
Putnam people are included. The mat
ter was brought TO head a year or
two ago and ii was claimed that test
case was to be made to see if author
ity existed for closing the lake TO bath
ers. The case never came to trial, but
for some time there was little or no
bathing. The lake is the source OF
domestic water supply for the village
Of Goodyear.
Gradually, il is understood. the Gus
tom Of bathing by stealth, both by cot
tagers and by automobiles. has re-
turned. Most of the bathing has been
in the very early morning hours OF
after dusk in the evening. The in
creased number Of bathers has again
brought the matter to a head. It i
said that close watch will be kept "a

James was taken 10 police head

closed his identity, giving TO the officer
his correct name, James kiidea.
