High Sheriff Geddes
 Warns COP. Group
Defeat of County Ticket This Year Will Make Current Sheriffs "ShOe Lace Peddlers

That the 10000 democratic
 county majority in the last state election must be wiped out and a
 substantial g. 0. p. margin be set up also, was the salient warning is- sued last night at the banquet of
 the Young Mems Republican club of Wolcott, held at Lakeside tav- ern. The figures and data were given out by High Sheriff James Geddes, who declared that if the county ticket is defeated this year the sheriffs now in office and him.
 self will have to go out and ped dle shoe laces'. He stated that if there is no victory for himself he has a route picked out for himself also.
 McGrath Speaks
 Other speakers at the banquet, which was the largest in the his- tory of Wolcott, were Judge John
 F. McGrath, of the local city court, former Judge T. V. Meyer, Repub- lican Town Chairman T. 10. Con- way of Waterbury and Mrs Harry
 B. Dow, also of this city.
 WOlcOtt Unti COmplimentcd Judge McGrath, in his usual
 witty way, kept the gathering en-
 livened. Attorney Meyer and Mrs Dow urged continued work among the republicans and complimented the Wolcott organization on it's fine
 showing. Greetings from Water bury were also brought by Peter DeCicco, president of the local Ital- ian Republican club.
 Urges All To Work
 While the talk that former
 Judge Meyer delivered to the gath ering was most inspiring one and also that of Town Chairman Con-
 way, High Sheriff Geddes delivered a talk that breezed of warning.
 He informed his listeners that the
 votes of all people, Wolcott or else
 where, must be obtained for the re-
 publican party this year if the
 county as well as the state are to
 go republican, The 10000 major ity of the democrats in the county
 last election, he declared, was something to think about. Vol colt, with its 250 votes in the re- publican column, must be main tafned, he stated. He urged each
 and every young man and woman
 of Wolcott to go out and work for the success of the s. o.p. because,
 he explained, without this effort in every community throughout the country the district of which he is
 high sheriff will go into the demo-
 cratic column, forcing change in
 rule and the release of all g. o. p.
 appointees.

i Parker, assisted by Patrolman Harold Bowling.
 Patr0Imen Testify The two patrolmen testified to- day that Archambault was under 1 the influence of liquor, that he staggered and that he talked inco-
 herently. Sergeant William Dug gan, on the desk when the man was booked at headquarters, said that he could smell liquor from his breath but that he spoke sens- ibly. After repeated questioning, the sergeant said that in his opin- ion a man whose breath smelled as strongle of liquor as he said Ar chambault's did should not drive an automobile.
 Eyewitness Story John Gibbons, of Baldwin street an eyewitness, stated that he saw Archambault's car, as it proceed
 ed up North Main strete. graze Barbieri's car and continue on. A few minutes later, he said the car came back.
 Barbieri testified that Archam- bault had returned a few minutes after his car had grazed the parked machine and had agreed to settle for the damages. He said he did not believe the man was under
 the influence, but believed he had been drinking.
 Admits Drinks
 Taking the stand himeslf, Ar chambault admitted that he had taken three drinks, one in Bristol. before coming to Waterbury, and two in Waterville. He denied that he was drunk.
 Describing the accident. he be- came confused and was questioned at length by Judge Mascolo. The judge then declared his intention of deferring judgment.

Piles Go Quick
7 Without Salves or Cutting


 Thousands of sufferers from itching, bleeding or protruding
 piles have learned that quick and lasting relief can be accomplished with an internal medicine. Neither salves nor cutting remove the cause. Bad circulation of the blood in the lower bowel causes piles. The ! veins are f1abby. the bowel walls weak-the parts lifeless. To end Piles an internal medicine should be used to stimulate the circula- tion, heal and restore the affected parts.
 Dr J. s. Leonhardt was the first to discover a real internal Pile remedy. He called his prescription HEM-RO-D. and prescribed it for hundreds of patients with a mar velous record of success and. then decided every Pile sufferer should be able to get HEMROID tables from his own druggist with a rigid money back guarantee.
 So why waste time on external remedies or worry about an opera | ton when Apothecaries Hall says No matter what kind of Piles you nave, one bottle Of HEM-ROID tablets must show you the safe clean way to- get rid of your Pile misery or money back.
