Ferris Turkington, according to reports, is not going to look for the republican nomination for Judge of Probate. Friends of Turkington tell me however that they will compell him to run, if such is the proper word to use. Huntington has large following in Litchfield County.
 Ernest E. Novey, mayor of Tor rington for years, is still actively campaigning for the Republican nominatin for high sheriff. Novey is considered, by those in the know, to have the best chance of securing that coveted nomination which has turned into a three cornered battle, between Novey, Harry Morse of Litchfield and E. R. Kaiser of Thomaston.
 Should E. R. Kaiser, First se- lectman of Thomaston fail to re- ceive the Republican nomination for high sheriff, he would make a good bet for the state senate. He is a good mixer, a good talker and certainly knows the game of pol itics.
 J. Warren Upson chairman of the Waterbury Republican town Committee denies this week that the Republican state central com- mittee has before it a proposal, reputed to have been sponsored by one of the leading members of the committee, to the effect that the Republican party endorse Governor Cross.
 Apparently J. Warren, was not consulted, because such action was talked over by some of the members.
 Foolish though the idea is, it is not improbable.
 The Democratic town commit tee in Winsted is certainly losing no time in going to work in his preparation for the coming cam paign in which they hope to be successful in turning the city Cor is it town) of Winsted into a Democratic city.
 The next meeting of the Beck with for Sheriff organization will be held the 28th of this month in Marbledale. Marketable just in case you don't know it is located over near Washington, and not far from New Milford. The meet ing, will not attract many from the northern part of the state, as the distance is too great, but it certainly will start things moving over around New Milford. The Democratic state central commit teeman's home town from that district is Washington.
 I am told that Max Winzner and Joseph Howard both prom inent members of Thomaston's Democratic town committee are being groomed for the office of registrar of voters. It will be hard for the voters to decide whichc of the candidates to vote for as both are among the hardest workers the party has in the clock town. Winzer, has a large bloc of Polisf voters, right under his arm.
 The Polish and Russian voters of Terryville are certainly work ing along very tremendously and if this continues it is very likely that they will pile large major ity for the Democrats on election day. Every Polish person in Terry vile is we'll pleased with the ac- ton of Governor Cross in ap- pointing Frank s. Coskey as ath- letic commissioner.
 You will find the Republican town committees in Litchfield County now endorsing Attorney Blodgett for the Republican nom nation for the United States Sen ate, this is what meant when l promised you last week that l would reveal the reason for all the secret meetings of the Re- Dllblican bio wigs in the county.

 Blodgett recently came into the news when he demanded that Governor Cross explain why, in view of new heavy state tax rev. enues, he was obliged to cut 10 per cent from the budgets of state departments, agencies and institu- tionS.
