Democratic Town Chairman John D. Lee Of Hartford brought up a point this past week which Is Of considerable interest, because of the fact that apparently few individuals knew anything about it. Hartford
 Democrats nominated 24 justices of
 he peace, but were only entitled to name 23 and may be forced to have one name removed from the list. But the point Of interest is that there are q justices of the peace elected every two years. The party which wins the previous state elee- ti0n is entitled to the extra justice of the peace. But recourse to local records shows that Democrats have been nominating 23 justices Of uce peace right along, even when they had successes under Hurley and be- g0re him Gross. The same is true, too, on the COP side,
