 The demonstration machine, which was supplied through the courtesy of Mayor Hayes, is set up in the lobby of the Hotel Elton through the kindness of Clyde Jen- nings, the manager and new owner of the hotel.
 The machine will be available for instruction until Saturday, October 24th and women well qualified to ex- plain its operation will be in at- tendance each day from. 1l:30 a. m. to 500 p. m.
 "The League of Women Voters is n-partisan in politics" stated Mrs. Coe, land in addition to members of the league, the Women's Water bury Republican and Democratic organizations have been invited to supply attendants at the machine, to insure that the explanations given will be fair and impartial to all parties and to all candidates and measures"

Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy of Hartford does not intend to let the republicans get anything on the democratic party. When Pres ident Roosevelt visits Hartford this week he will speak at Bush nell Park. The park department will provide naicrOphones and amplifierS for the occasion but Mayor Spellacy has directed the democratic organization of Hart ford to reimburse the city for the. use of the same. When Colonel Frank Knox, 6. c. ?. candidate for vice-president, spoke there just before coming to Waterbury the cost of installing the loud speak ing equipment was borne by the city.
 James w. Burdick was made a voter in East Hartford 8 couple of days ago. He is 93 years of age. He cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln. He had pre- viously voted in the town of Will lington. Burdick intends to sup port Landon-Knox ticket this year.

The "reprimand" reported given the deputies is said to have started them worry ing and some fear that shake up in the high Sheriff's staff will take place after the election November 3rd.

the Roosevelt policies are leading to a centralized government which will wipe out states rights.
 The republicans are shocked! They have heard reports that state employees given jobs by the democratic party have been asked to contribute to the organizations campaign chest. It is understood that the contributions range from one weeks pay. upwards. Persons receiving 5000 yearly are asked to donate 5 per cent of their salary. Local major parties see nothing new in this procedure.
 New England is far from lost to President Roosevelt, Attorney John M. Bailey of Hartford feels. He is New England regional young democratic leader. Last Saturday he attended a regional confer ence in Boston. He returned with the encouraging news that President Roosevelt's chances on November 3rd in New England are excellent. Connecticut, he feels, is very likely to go into the democratic column, not only for the state ticket but for President Roosevelt.

through the devasted windows to
thud harmlessly on the inner walls.
Once the whang of Pink Crosby's
rifle sounded, to be followed a mo-
ment later by a shrill yell Of tri-
umph by the excited Pink.
"Pink musta made a bullseye
that clatter," grinned Johnny to
Delevan. 'Shore, I'm-wow! That
was a close one. Holy hen-hawks
what they got out there-a can
none"
Johnn's exclamation was caused
by a deep toned believing report
from down in back Of the bunk
house and by a big bullet which
tore through the log wall, to cut a
neat nick out Of one wheel Of Jim
Delevan's chair, from there to pass
on and splinter one leg Of the table

Johnny nodded and pulled back
the hammer on his Winchester,
Then he crouched at one corner Of
a window and watched the bunk
house with unblinking eyes. A slow
minute licked past before the big
gun thundered again. This time the
slug tore through not a foot from
Delevan's head to carry On and
hopelessly wreck a framed Reming-
ton picture on the inner wall. And
the billow of smoke seemed to
spring from the ridge pole Of the
clubhouse.

I'll go down an throw yore hull on

The doughty Doctor fingered for
a moment to give Ronny some last
instructions about the care of Pod
Fortune so Johnny strolled corral
wards by himself. He led out the
doctors horse and tossed the saddle
blanket in place. He smoothed it
deity with one hand and reached
for the saddle with the other. AT
thot moment a single rifle shot
crashed out, coming from the frin-
&c of underbrush at the edge of the
clearing to the north. Came the
spat of speeding lead meeting flesh
and the luckless bronco went down
in a heap at Johnny's feet. The
slight leaning twist Johnny had
given as he reached for saddle had
saved his life, and the bullet, which
otherwise you'd have torn through
the center of his chest, struck the
horse at the angle of one jaw ane
ranged upward through the ami

went racing for the ranchhouse. It
was far closer to the bunkhouse but
even if he did reach it in safety he
would swiftly be cut off from the
rest of the ranch defenders to be
eventually wiped out ignominous-
ly. All this went through his mind
as he ran, and though he knew hi:
chances of yer reaching the ranch
house alive were slim indeed, he did
not falter. Instead he drew his gun
as he ran and threw shot after shot
at the treacherous underground.

Once he lurched and went head

scream echoing in his ears he was
up and on again. The porch was
close now, reckoning him on. He
tried to fire again but the hammer
of his Colt smoked futifly. The gun
was empty.
And now a cursing figure leaped
clear of the underbrush and sank to
one knee, sighting steadily alony
the barrel of a Winchester at
Johnny's bobbing shoulders. Inside
the big living room a virulent oath
fell from old Jim Delevan's lip.
