“ Eph " Themes got there.
So did Mayors Glover and Coburn.
Only one Republican councilman Was
left by the roadside.
It was a great day for the little
paster.
Monday’s town and city elections fur-
nished mcre excitement in town than
has been witnessed in many years.
In the town election “Eph” Thomes,
the Republican candidate for first
Selectman, was required to make the
fight of his life. The first and third
districts failed him but his own, the
second, came to his rescue nobly and
carried him through with a majority
of 60 for the first place. His old.
colleagues Lyn es and Merrill were also
elected leaving the board the same as
last year with Thomes at the head in-
stead of Merrill.
CITY OF NORWALK.
The Norwalk city election was fought
from 6 o’clock in the morning until 5
at night, the little paster doing such
deadly work that it kept the counters
busy until after midnight to count the
vote.
The poster did such effective work
that Captain Isaac Selleck was defeat-
ed by a majority of 168, Mayor Glover
being re-elected. Mayor Glover’s
pasters were found upon 142 Republi-
can votes and early indicated that
“Captain Ike” would be defeated.
The entire Republican city ticke
was elected, excepting “Captain Ike”
and one councilman, Goold Hoyt, who
lacked 13 votes of getting in out of the
wet.
The only Democrat in addition to,
Mayor Glover to get a seat on the ice
wagon was Grover O. E. Wilson, who
tied Councilman Simons but lead Hoyt
by a bare majority of 13 votes.
. It was a close election and 14 votes
would have changed the result and left
a tied council with Mayer Glover to
east the deciding 'vote.
The result has given the city of Nor— .
walk an unusually good board of
eouncilmen, and if the affairs of the
city are not wisely and carefully
handled next year'it will not be the
fault of the candidates elected.
With Mayor Glover at its head the
new board will no doubt 'find a
competent and satisfactory presiding
Officer and everything will move as
smoothly as clock work. '
SOUTH NORWALK CITY.
South Norwalk’s city election was
“the warmest baby in the bunch.”
It was a fight to the death between
Dr. J. Milton Coburn and Abiathar
Blanchard for the mayor’s chair.
The fight of the day was on the head
of'the ticket, and the party workers
used the little pasters unceasingly.
The Democrats concentrated their
whole fire upon Dr. Coburn, but his
workers were not to be defeated and
largely aided by a most dastardly attack
upon him by a scurrilous local sheet he
was landed a winner by 25 majority.
Nor was this all, for in addition to
Dr. Coburn’s election, he carried ev-'
.ery Republican candidate on the tick
et through to victory with him, and the
Democrats were utterly routed.
The air was so .full of scratching dur-
ing the day that the lady voters of the
Second district caught the infection
and followed the lead of the oldeI poli-
ticians.
’Out of the five ballots cast by the,
ladies in this district, one was a
straight ticket, three carried pasters
and one lady voter in her zeal voted a
Republican and Democratic ballot in
her envelope.
Outside of the fight between the two
political parties the day was unevent-
ful, and the workers were all tired out
at the close of the ballot box and glad
that the contest was over.
Darien.
The Republicans carried Darien,
electing Charles W. Raymond and C.
W. Waterbury by 143 and 115 majority,
respectively. The Democratic select-
: man elected is George B. Gregory. A
determined fight was made against
Newton Crofut, the Republican candi-
date for assessor, but he pulled through
with a majority of 7.

Historical and Memorial.
The formation of a Historical and
Memorial Association for the acquisi-
tion and preservation of valuable his-
torical relics, documents and similar
treasures handed down from the early
Colonial and Revolutionary periods, as
well as the later times of interest in
our local history, has often been sug—
gested in the past. It is believed that
the time has now arrived when an
united effort should be made to perfect
such an organization. The necessity
of a prompt and hearty support to this
movement appeals to every citizen who
desires to prevent the further removal
of large quantities of such relics and
treasures to other states. Clearly
every year of delay renders this ac-
quisition and retention in Norwalk
more and more difficult. Unless the
work is begun at once the opportunities
now within our grasp are in danger of
being forever lost.
In order to promote practicil meas-
ures toward the formation of such an
organization the undersigned respect-
fully invite all who are interested in
the object, ladies included, in all the
Norwalks'and neighboring towns to be
present at a public meeting to be held
at the Central club, West avenue, on
Wednesday evening, October 5th, at 8
o’clock.

Detective Edward Cronan and Police
Matron Hill will sail Saturday for Lon-

Dr. Nancy A. Guilford on the charge
of murder in the second degree and the

The selection of Detective Cronan was
made because he can fully identifiy Dr.
Guilford. Matron Hill will go in order

ford at all times.
I The complaint against Dr. Guilford

to murder in the second degree he-

was decided upon at a conference to
