L. Beckley and Ed- As announced cent issue, both asserted that they not accept the nominations for the offices ta which they were chosen | by democratic caucus. Mr. Beckley said He was not present at the caucus when he was elected and, even if he should be successful at the polls, he could not spare the ‘time from his business to flll the position. . Mr. #Steyens has no desire to act'in the capacity of second selectman, plead- | ing that he has enough work of his ‘own to keep him busy. The democratic town committee met on Monday evening to consider < the resignation of Mr. Bekley and [+ after a short discussion Thomas C. ‘Fagan was chosen in his stead. = As Mr. Stevens had failed to send in a written resignation, it was decided to ;leave his name on the ballot. Yes- iiferday chairman W. W. Fagan of the | called ! ¥ democratic town committee Town. €lerk Shaw on the ’phone and requested the latter to place the name of Thomas C. Fagan on the ballot in the space occupied by that of Mr. Beckley. ~ Mr. Shaw was unable to notify the secretary of state yester- v day on account of the lateness of the % hour when he received the request. Town Clerk Shaw, on opening his mail this morning, found ‘the ballots from the state’s secretary and conse- guently could not accede to the wish- es of Chairman Fagan. “ As the affair now stands, the democrats have two men up for the impartant offices of sélectmen, who are'not at all. anxious to' gain the honors and n~ there are three positiens to be filied ' of four nominations one of these 1 ust noces- sarily be elected. ~ There is no douht ! that after the election the successful candidate will resign and thus givo the republican members of the board | democrat who will be acceptable to them. . From this muddle arises the fact that the present holder of the first _selectmanship, W. H. Gibney, will fill this office for another term in spite S of democrats and those of his own p who are desirious of over- throwing him. X : "Rumor of Factory Pleascs.

The re- moval of that plant from the towa caused the grand list to be depleted | by one-half and a few years - after- ward, when Peck, Stowe and Wilcox shut down thejr shop, the list was again lessened by a third, Tradesmen, | town and frcm their rapid outflow, it seemed at one time that KEast Berlin was an apt :llustration of Goldsmith’s | “Deserted Village.” Property values. dwindled and land could be had for the proverbial song. No less thana three mcnths ago, a Berlin man could ! town for $1,000. During the past| summer muny people from neighbor- ing cities have purchased residences for use as summer homes. Real es- tate values began to increase anid when the man referred to above, sought the price of the same property, 'he was infcrmed it was not for sale at present. This with the vicit of the strangers to East Berlin last week in- formed the people something astir. It became known this morning that the men who looked over the Bridge shop also inspected the factory form- erly occupied by Peck, Stowe & Wil- cox and one of them said it is possible they might try to gain eontrol of that as well as the former shop. Everyons hopes the factory will soon be started, for there is no doubt but it will be very beneficial to the town of Berlin. Athletic Association Plans.

OSTEOPATH TREATMENTS k By Appointment DR, THOMAS J. RYAN, Kensington, Conn, ing for some time Irom ailments inci- dent to old age and his death was not unexpected. ‘While the funeral arrangements have not as yet been completed it is expected that the scrvices Wwill be held Friday morning at the Church of Our Lady of Mercy with burial ip St. Joseph’s cemeter Mr. Prior was a native of Ireland He came here while 1 in his 'teens, making his home with his uncle, James Prior, one of Plainville’s oldest residents. For thir:v-twvo years he was employed as teamster for the E. N. Pierce company, retiring a few years ago. He was a man of splendid character, honest and industrious, ané greatly admired by =l who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was eighty-three years of age. Besides his widow, he leaves five sons, James E., of Iiristol: Willlam of ‘Waterbury, and Frank, Charles and Edward P. Prior of Plainville. He is also survived by a brother, Peter Prior of Canal strcet, Conducts Evangclistic Services. Rev. J. W. Denton, pastor of the Advent Christian church, is is Brook- lyn, N. Y., where he is conducting a state was satisfied with the imposition of a fine rather than a sentence to the penitentiary. Utilities Commisgion Satisfied. That the public utilities commission does not object tc the practice of | hauling freight cars over the lines of the Connecticut company through the sireets of the town is evidenced from a letter from that body sent to George S. Babcock, clerk of the board of lectmen, in answer to his query re- garding the corporation’s legal rights. Mr. Babcock had asked if the law per- mitted the houling of the freight cars on the trolley tracks, and the com- mission in replying specified the sec- tion of the statutss in which the prac tice is declarcad legal. A committce from the Business and Improvement Association is also un- derstood to be investigating the mat- ter. There is strong objection here to having the cars hauled through the streets, especially in the daytime, but it is evident that the company offi- clals can continue to chuckle whiie the populace howis .over what it re- gards as illegal. Little Doing Politically. { [ series of evangelistic services .n the Church of The Second Advent. His father, Rev. Joshua Denton, is pastor of the church. Mr, Denton at one time was secretary »f the Bedford branch of the Y. M. C. A, in Brook- lyn and was connected with otner church activities in that city. He is regarded assan evangelist of excep- tional ability and he is in great de- mand where religious campaign are being conducted. His father will have charge of the services in the loeral chrch next Sun- day and will precach at both morn- ing and evening meetings. On the following Sunday the pulpit will be occupied by Rev. J. W. Davis of Bridgeport, a former pastor of *he church. Will Speak at Frambull’s. Rev. F. L. Grant. who is among the leaders of the faction working for no license, announced today that Rev. Walter E. Lanphear of Hartford will speak on prohibition issues in front of the Trumbull Electric company’s fic- tory tomorrow at 12:45 p. m. Mr. Lanphear is a representative of rhe Connecticut Temperance union and is giving addresses in mazny towns where the license vote is vxpected to be clos: this year. He will also be principal speaker at the teriperance rally to be held in the Town hall Friday even- ing. It was also announced today that the temperance peoplo will make an- other drive against the saloons Sat- urday night, when an open air meet- ing will be held at Central square. 1t is expected that there will a he speaker from Bristol. Although ther2 does not appear to be as much conddcnce with the “drys” as there was last year, the leaders do not seem disheartened and they plan to keep up the izht until election day. They are doing much - uiet work this this year and they evidently are pin- ning their hopes in the silent vote. Picrson Gets Off With Fine. Martin E. Pierson of Bristol, state enator from the fifth district, was ned $500 and costs in the superior court in New Haven county, yester- day, after he 'had entered a plea of guilty to manslaughter, the charge made against him following the death of Kenneth Doolittle, a child, who was run down and killed by the de- fendant’s auto early in July. Through his counsel, Senator Pier- son at first cntered a plea of nolo contendere, but the state’s attorney objected and the accused changed his response to the reading of the war- rant to guilty. In cxplaining the case to the court the state’s attorncy declared that the evidence showed that Senator Pierson was inattentive rather than reckless The Original MALTED MLK CO- INE, WIS, U.S. A Not in years has the political situa- tion been so quiet the week before election as it is at the present time and were it not for the fight on the license question many of the voters would probably forget that they are expected to cast their ballots next Monday. The party leaders report everything is peaceful and they seem- English Tape, 10-yard rolls: The 6ec the 18c¢ size for 15c. Waxed Paper, Sanitary bands: the 26c grade for 20c¢, 15¢.

The republican leaders are confi- dent of the success of their ticket and there does not appear'to be a dispo- sition on the part of the democrats to question the predictions of victory which the G. O. P. is making so freely. Seemingly the election on Monday except for a ssttlement of the license contest, is simply a gathering of the voters to formally endorse the repub- lican candidates and to decide which of the democratic candidates for con- stable will be left out in the cold. That First Selectman W. J. John- son will be re-elected appears to be the consensus af opinion, although it is expected that he will run behind his ticket by probably fifty votes. W. C. Hart, his democratic opponent, or rather the democratic nominee is ex- ceedingly popular, and agdinst a can- didate other than Mr. Johnson would stand a good chance of election. The present wearer of the selectman’s toga has given the town two good administrations and has done few things to injure his standing with the voters. His party has a good ma- jority and the surface indications are that he will be returned to office by a substantial plurality. The candidacy of George S. Bab- cock, who is running independently for the place, is taken seriously by Mr. Babcock. With the rest of the voters his efforts to land the place are interesting only insofar as they cause speculation as to how many votes he will get, the estimates rang- ing from ten to twenty-five. The candidate himself, however, seems confident that he will be well supported and he expects to at least nose out ahead of W. C. Hart, get- ting the third place on the board. Sample ballots have been received at the town clerk’s office and Bab- cock is having a number of circulars printed explaining how to vote, but principally the methods to be em- ployed in casting a ballot in his favor. They will probably Be distributed to- morrow. The election of the republican nominees for every cffice named on the ballot is practically tonceded gven by the most ardent democrats. Brief Items.
