Der of the republican party at

An objection to the jurisdiction
or said committee by said DUMAS

According to Section 700.
The said committee was con-
stituted according to the provis-
ions of section 700 Of the Gen.
eral Statutes of, the state Of Con-
necticut as aforesaid, which pro-
visions set forth that whenever
the registrar Of voters of any
political party shall be of the
opinion that any person on the

party which such registrar of
voters represents, Is not affiliated
with or In good faith member
of that political party and does
not intend to support its prin-
ciples or candidates, such regis
trar shall cite such person to APP
pear before himself and the
chairman of the town committee
of such political party or before
himself and the chairman of the
same party committee OF the
ward or voting district, II in
town divided into wards or voting
districts, or when there Is no
such chairman or In the absence
or disability OF such chairman,
before himself and any enrolled
member of the same political
party chosen by such registrar to

the registrar OF voters duly ap.
pointed Vincent A. Miller to take

said Vincent A. Miller as his al
ternate was received by the re-
gistrar and duly recorded in the
records of said hearing. The COM
mittee as NO constituted fulfilled
the requirements set forth In said
section TOO of the General stat
utes Of Connecticut.
Objection Number 2.
The second objection set forth
IN behalf OF the said Peter II.
DUMAS was to the effect that no
substantial grounds had been set
forth for action by the regis
trar, in view OF the fact that
no proof had been shown OF an
active affiliation with any other
political party than the repub-
lican party OF Waterbury. The
contention of said Dunais lie also
without effect. Section 7Ol,
General Statutes of the State OF
Connecticut specifically sets
forth that enrolment In any
other political party or organiza-
ton, active affiliation with any
other political party or organ
ization, knowingly being can
didate at any promiary or eau
Gus at any other party or poll
tical organization or being a can
didate for office upon the ticket
OF any other party or organiza-
ton within the period of two
years prior to the date of the
notice as hereinafter provided
shall be prima facie evidence
that any such elector Is not af-
Hated with the party upon the
enrolment list Of which his
name appears and that such
eiector does not intend to longer
affiliate with such party or or
ganization and upon reasonable
proof of any one of such acts,
