Names of Many
 Democrats on List
(Continued from Page 1)

Acting on this authority, the town clerksto-day declared only 167 signatures on the socialist la bor party's petition proper and struck off the remainder. Many persons signing gave their business ad- dresses rather than their residence numbers, under which they are registered on the regular voting list.
 A similar checkup is being made of the communist party's petition. Both petitions ask that the tickets of the respective parties be placed on the voting machines in the com- ing, November election.
 Several persons whose names ap- peared on the petitions stated to- day that they did not know what | they were signing when they af- fixed their signatures. It was ex- plained in one instance by John Cronan of Beecher avenue that he and others were approached at the railroad station and asked to sign a petition to help out the unem- ployed. They did so and were con- siderably shocked when they saw their names published as support ing either of the parties.
 The bad feature is that many democrats who, signed the petitions can be removed from the regular democratic primary list by the registrars because they have signi- fled allegiance to another party. AS a result of this many visited the registrars office this morning in an effort to rectify matters but, ap. parently. without any success as the law gives neither the registrars nor the town clerk any power to make such erasures or changes providing the signatures and addresses are or the regular voting list.
 A checKup. however, is expected to further remove many names. In the meantime those who signed unknowingly are worrying and storming the offices of the town clerk and registrars of voters.

Town Chairman T. B. Conway and Congressman D.. W. Goss are expected to head the state delegation to the party's con- vention in New Haven next month.
 As predicted yesterday, efforts on the parts of anti-wets and in- dependents to block the election of delegates to the state convention favorable to Senator Bingham failed hopelessly. Up and down the Naugatuck valley, Waterbury in- vorable to Bingham. The discussion on the maks.up of the rest of tho ticket was left until 6 later date.
 In this city there was only one ticket of delegates up for consid- eratlon. hence the peaceful prI- marieg. The same was the case in Torrington. Naugatuck. Winsted. Watertown, .W0lcott. Thomaston. Litchfieid. Harwinton, Bethlehem, Bridgewater, Norfolk and 70 forth,

Senator Davis
 Should Resign
(continued from Page l.)

(Continued from Page 1.)
 The governor said that In the event Davis refused to resign. the republican committee should pre- empt the ticket and run another republican against him.
 Pinchot predicted that in the event the committee fails to oust Davis, the senator, will be defeated for reelection. He added that should Davis be reelected the U. s. senate would refuse to accept him."
 The governor referred to "cer- tain stock transactions of which Davis was accused. and of accusa- tions that Davis received favors from industrial concerns in return for his support on tariff questions which were of vital interest to them.''
 Pinchot said 1t made no differ- ence whether these rpeorts were true or not "but 1t is important and true that Davis has just been in- dicted by a federal grand jury"
 "The charge is 8 particularly un- pleasant one," he continued. "It is alleged that he not only broke the law by actively engaging in an illegal lottery, but that he also re- ceived at least $100,000 from the proceeds of the lottery, and thus converted to his own use funds that should properly have gone to children and others in need"
 Pinchot pointed out that, the re- publican party "can not afford to run a candidate who is under sus- picion."
 If Davis should be convicted, his conviction would leave Penn sylvania republicans with no one of their party to vote for, and | would be equivalent to handing the Pennsylvania senatorship over to the democrats"
 "The whole country is aroused against racketeering in all forms Davis stands indicted as a lottery racketeer," Pinchot charged.
 "In the face of the situation there are but two things for the re- publican state committee to do.'' Cleveland. Aug 26--(UP)-Unit- ed States Senator James J. Davis. here for the 44th convention of the Moose lodge, refused to comment today on teh request of Governor Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania that he be asked to resign as a candidate for reelection. T never make statements" !" Davis said.

Miners Attention

Possibility of the silver situation
being remedied through some re-
monetlzatlon program by congress
was being widely discussed in Arr
IONA mining circles during the last
week.
The silver question was brought
up several times in discussion by
committees of the two houses and
in informal talks by representatives
and senators.
In many instances they have
pointed out the remedy for the
present period of depression lies n
silver reconciliation and it is de-
clared by many mining men The
metal has gained numerous sup

/ In one instance the plan of in

the present crisis but it is believed
by the majority the reconciliation
of silver would prove a more sat-
