Victory For Mrs. KiImartin

Congratulations are being received to- day by Mrs. Mary Coughlan Kilmartin for her splendid victory in the city cleo tions, succeeding Miss Dora A. Egan, town clerk, over period of many years, to this office. Mrs Kilmartin ran far ahead of her ticket, her vote the most outstanding of any member on the ticket This is acknowledged significant victory since her opponent, Miss Egan, who previously had carried her office on the democratic ticket for so many years, was, this election, the coalition candidate. Also significant in the victory of Mrs. Kilmartin is the fact that this was the first time she ever ran for office.
 The new town clerk-elect is a native Waterburian. She is the widow of the late Dr. Thomas Kilmartin, and has been all her life staunch supporter of the democratic party; always participating in the work of campaign, lending her assistance at all times unselfishly, but never before running for public office Her victory last night, in the face of Miss Egan's excellent record in the past in that office, shows that she has the confi- dence and the esteem of her fellow citi- zens. Hers was the top victory in the democratic party last night, with a majority of over four hundred.
 Mrs. Kilmartin carried on her campaign for town clerk in thorough and upright manner. Her friends of years standing when she, as Miss Mary Coughlan, was teacher in the local schools, and all dur ing her married life, gave her loyal support. The general concensus is that she made splendid run and deservedly won, in her first campaign for public office. She deserves the honor bestowed on her and it is foregone conclusion that she will conduct the office in the efficient manner of her predecessor. We join in the congratulations and good wishes extended to Mrs. Kilmartin today.

Everyone's Talking

Everyone's talking about yesterdays municipal election in Waterbury and they have perfect right to, for if ever history was made, it was then. Even right now definite and positive statement as to the outcome of the election should not be made Probably a number of them have been made and will be substantiated by later findings. But in the main 1t can only be said that the election was mighty close and if Mayor Frank Hayes is re- turned to office, as last nights results and early morning tabulationS still showed, it will be by the narrowest ot margins.
 On the strength of Waterbury Demo- crat tallies which in past years have borne up and been substantiated by the official figures from the Registrars of- flee Mrs. Mary C. Kilmartin was the leader of the Democratic ticket, running well ahead of her fellow candidates and scoring a victory by more than 400 votes over her veteran opponent, the incum- bent Town Clerk, Dora Egan. Whether or not these figures will stand, depends entirely on the official check of the mod erators' sheets, which, we presume, will be conducted today
 Oddly enough in this battle of the defending Democratic administration against the combined forces of the Repuo- lican and Independent-D Democratic tickets 1t was the Democrats who picked up more votes this year than either of the two minority parties The Democrats gained 2,326 votes over 1885, whereas the republi- cans dropped 697 votes from what they gave John Burrall in 1885. The 1ndc- pendent-Democrats on the other hand picked up 1851 votes to record the rather imposing total of 4,672, the highest vote probably ever boiled by an Independent ticket.
 Partisan feelings are rather forced to the background today as individuals and groups discuss what occurred yesterday and what is to occur in the days to come. We doubt if the city will ever see situa- tion to compare with that which existed this year in the biennial election. There may have been closer elections, but we don't think we ever had one where with the issues so clearly defined there was such an expression of opinion at the polls that it resulted in the hodge-podge of results that we are apparently confronted with today. Anyone is entitled to just opinion on the outcome today. Yours is as good as the next mans.

Guarding a President

Because cranks and murderous fanatics have way of appearing when you least expect them, the secret service has to guard American Presidents with unsleep- ing vigilance. This hems the President in more than he usually likes, and also works hardship on innocent people yet it seems utterly unavoidable.
 When President Roosevelt drove through Hood River, Ore, the other day someone on the sidewalk tossed pack age at his automobile. Alert secret service men instantly knocked it down. When they opened it, they found that 1t con- tained flowers and a hand-embroidered handkerchief. An elderly woman said that she had thrown it; she meant it for present for Mrs. Roosevelt.
 Her charming little gesture came to a sad end, and the woman doubtless felt bad about it. Yet what is the secret serv- ice to do? There are just enough homi- cidal nit-wits on earth to justify them in fearing that such a package, sailing out of mixed crowd might contain bomb. They were right in doing what they did. But one can't help wishing that such care was unnecessary.

Hayes Still Unbowed

Two years ago when Mayor Frank Hayes was reelected to his fourth term by the majority of 1,7O4 votes, 1t was claimed and rather loudly, too, that he was minority mayor. By that it was meant that the combined votes of his two opponents for the mayoralty, John Burrall and Roger Connor, representing the Republican and Independent-Demo- cratic parties, at the time both of them separate political organizations, totaled more than his, which was true. The two political parties had their chance to unite on the one candidate this year in an effort to spike the administrators guns, but on the face of returns failed to do so by the scantiest of margins.
 There is no question that Mayor Hayes administration is badly bent by this wig orous assault made upon it yesterday, but it cannot be said that it is bowed in de- feat. Knowing the calibre of the men who have guided the destinies of the city for the past eight years we can well imagine their determination today to take the whole and sound timbers from the wreckage and build thereon. Of course, if the mayor was to do the hon. orable thing, at least in the eyes of the Waterbury Republican, he would refuse to accept the mayoralty on the basis of yesterdays returns and graciously hand 1t over to his opponent, Senator George T. Culhane.
 We can't quite understand why if Mayor Hayes is declared the winner of pthe 1887 election, it will be all wrong and only as the result of chicanery and political pressure. Certainly if Senator Clilhane were declared the winner, in the eyes of the Hayes opponents, 1t would be sgomething to thank God for. In view of he circumstances attendant on the close of the election, we think it only proper to extend congratulations to all candi- dates who participated in the Waterbury election yesterday. Every single one of them made strong fight and while, per- haps, all deserved or hoped to win only one can be picked for an office. We accept the 1887 outcome with no feeling of rancor, but with the sense that we did our best and if it wasn't good enough, we'll simply have to try again.

There is no age limit in the de- voted following of Will James, leader of the cowboy artist-writer clan. But his new book, Cowboy in the Making" just released by Scribners ($1.50), is written degfinitely for the younger boy.
 Actually the material is taken from the first part of "Lone Cow boy" and tells of the writer's early riding, roping and gun practice, and his long period of wandering with the trapper, Bopy, from Montana cattle ranches to Canadian fur country.
 Noodle" (Stokes: $15O) is the latest book by that excellent writer for the very young, Munro Leaf. Noodle is dachshund, very long and very low. Low in spirits, too, because he cannot be some other shape.
 "Choo- -Choo," by, Virginia Lee Burton (Houghton, Mifflin: $l.50), is another of the exchanging and lushly illustrated picture-story books for tots. Choo-Choo is a little enc zine that runs away. It runs all over the pages until 1t is finally rescued and taken home to the round-house.
 Add to the list "The Famous Jimmy, by Enid Blyton (Dutton: $1.50). This book IS for the next age-group, the 4-to-8 child who can Understand humor at its best. Jimmy is an impish duckling who ventures where ducklings never should ven- ture.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, Oct. 6-Broadway, too, has awakened to the advent of the chill football season. Sidewalk cafes are being taken indoors with the close of the al fresco season. Ermine already has been spotted at a the- atrical first night. The vest has re- sumed its former prestige as @ vital part of male raininent.
 The number of bus-top swains is on the decline. That hanson cabbie over by the Plaza Foun- tain has recouped his muffler from moth balls and now wears 1t securely around his throat. There is @ general dismantling of formidable "Air Cooled" signs, and down in the Bowery, signs are going up, featuring "Warm Rooms" or beds at the flop houses.
 Two shows already have post poned-a certain sign of fall. Jules Brulatour and Hope Hampton inevitable first-nighters, have re- claimed their places in the first row at Broadway premieres. Fran tic bulletins announce the arrival of "the most Stupendous, Lavish or Novel night club In town Greybeards who have been play ing 0 lifelong chess tournament at the historic Hotel Lafayette have retired from the outdoor rear to 0 screen protected room. The kids in Washington Square Park have quit their daily dunk in the pool and fetching" pen- nies for the crowd.
 Off the Roofs
 That Broadway beggar who pur- sues his trade attired in tuxedo, starched shirt and correct bow tie, has come back after Q summers va- cation, just as natty as ever. The hotel roof gardens, verdant and chilly, are transferring their dining and dancing activities to grill rooms on street level.
 Because of the dropping mer- cury, peeping Toms no longer gape at the partly-opened windows of Radio City Music Hall where the Rockettes change costume. The view Is gone. Long Island horti- cult,irists ply their drawn wagons through midtown in quest of shel-hedges that no longer are needed by the cafe men.
 Top coats have taken Q trend toward sea-green. And they have raised the artificial temperature for the poor fish ct the AQuar- ium. Statesmen have been In to see barkeeps about laying in stock and equipment for Tom & Jerrys @ clear indication that the sum- mer has gone.
 New Yorks finest, the police force, have donned their coats again after enforcing law and or- der In shirt sleeves. The Minskys, aware that the idle iwll find the streets cold soon, have started Q drive to reinstate burlesque to its earlier prestige. But no 90. A supper club in the Forties already has outfitted its doorman with an ostentatious coat adorned by Q fur collar. The Turkish Cof- fee shiek is back again ct most restaurants, after Q summers fur- lough, and crepes suzettes again are in demand, after Q lull of ice cream combinations.

Yale University has started in on task that will take until 1850 to finish, so we read. That is the publishing of forty or fifty volumes to comprise the Yale edi- tion of Horace Walpole's letters. Walpole, who is regarded as the best of English letter-writers, was not only a man of let ters, he was a man of many letters. He wrote in any easy fashion of politics, art, foreign affairs and various other topics. The first two volumes of his correspond ence are now off the press and number one subscriber to same is King George V of England incidentally. Walpoleana will

session, he predicted, would bring adjournment by May.
 What will be his final decision depends largely on Chairman Marvin Jones of the House Ag- riculture Committee. The Tex an privately assured the Presi- dent @ month ago that he would have a farm bill ready by No- vember 10. If he makes good on this promise, the chances favor a special session.
 Third Term
 At Clinton, Iowa, first stop west of the Mississippi, an old farmer yelled out: ''We're for you, MT. President, and that goes for 194O tool"
 THE CROWD CHEERED. ROOSEVELT GRINNED AND SAID NOTHING.
 Keen interest in the third term possibility was evident every where. Local newsmen and poli- ticians invariably asked Washing ton correspondents about it. The latter could tell them no more than they already knew-which was nothing. But the subject bobbed up necessarily.
 Roosevelt was well aware of this. Members of his personal staff told him about it and re- ported some of the conversations they overheard. And he eSwas just as interested in what the public said, as the public is interested in what he thinks.
 Merry-G Round
 Mrs. Betsy Roosevelt, wife of eldest son Jimmy, attracted much more attention than her towering husband. After snapping the President, photographers made a bee-line for her. Seattle's labor czar Dave Beck is np shrinking violet. The pugnacious teamster boss tells friends that in 8 few years he will be presi- dent of the A. F. of L. The maritime hiring halls on the &c., attle waterfront are models of efficiency and discipline. Oper- ated by CIO unionists, they han- dle thousands of workers daily with dispatch and rigid iinpar- tiality. Drunkenness and disor- der are strictly taboo, with heavy fines for violations. Con- trary to popular belief about newsmen, the most popular drink of reporters on the Presi- dents train was milk. Dining-car stewards reported that the corre- spondents consume more milk than a train of ordinary paSsen- gers.
