As predicted, the republican cuuvusE held last evening in the town hall; was the tamest staged here in the past ; fifteen years. The surprise of the| evening came when Judge Willard IL.! AXing was unanimously nominated | for the office of first selectman in &pite of the fact that a boom to place | Newton W. Baldwin at the head of the ticket had been in progress for gome time. When nominations were | deemed in order by Moderator Claude | W. Stevens only Judge Alling’s name | was presented. Evidently anticipat- ing defeat the Baldwin supporters of- | fergd no apposition. Due to the more perplexing prob- lems confronting the country at the present time, a very small represen- tation of voters was present when ‘the meeting was called to order. The eaucus resembled a “love feast” more than a competition of hungry office #eeks. The only rea]l excitement of % evening occurred during a spirit- ed debate lead by Prosecutor Willlam H. Gibney to have Constable Andrew Lawrence of East Berlin renominated after his name had been dropped by the nominating committee and substi- tuted by that of Charles Nelson. The reason offered for dropping Constable Lawrence from the slate after twenty- sif years of strvice was given as his infirmities, the nominating committee believing that a protector of the pub- lic safety should be physically capa- ble of holding the office. After much | this procedure. Merton W. Webster clerk. The first office to receive attention was that of first selectman. Oscar Bensen of East‘ Btrlin presented. the name of Judget i Willard I Alling to the voters. He | was unanimously nominated. Colonel Charles M. Jarvis offered the name of George B. Carter as a ! running mate for Judge Alling on election day. He too was unanimous- Iy nominated for the office of second | selectman. Charles F. Lewis was | shown that the voters have confidence in his ability when he was unanimous- ly . venominated for tax-collector. Town Clerk ahd Treasurer Francis H. | Shaw was also unanimously renom- nated. When the sugzestion was offerel to have the moderator appoint a com- mittee to make up a slate for tho balance of the ticket below the office of assessor, Frank P. Day objected to He stated that such action would not give each candidate a fair chance. This did not meet with the approval of the voters and the following committee was appoint- ed to make up the slate: J. M. Taylor, Newton W. Baldwin, George E. Green, Francis Deming, Frank N. Bacon, Oscar Bensen, Max Edelson and William Fisher and George Alling. At this juncture, Third Selectman John A. Moore appeared and asked that his party he given fair play, re- questing that the democrats be given representation on the board of rellef and the board of assessors. Major Frank L. Wilcox*offered the follow- ing resolution: “That the chairmen of the repub- lican and democratic town commit- tees confer and consult counsel if necessary for the purpose of provid- ing for minority representation on the board of assessors and on the board of relief and report to the cau- cuses in the fall of 1918 for action at those caucuses.” Mr. Gibney opposed the resolution on the grounds that if such a pro- cedure were illegal this fall it would be just as illegal next fall. Richard Murray also took the floor on the be- half of the democrats. Mr. Moore again addressed the republicans say- ing, "All we want is fair play. We do not want to be turned down cold for anather vear. Even though we are the minority party we want a | chance. We can select men for the office who will give you just as good if not better service. When we con- ceded the election to Mr. Alling last fall we were promised representation on the board and we are entitled to Y discussion Constable Lawrence was finally renominated. ! The meeting was also enllvened when John A. Moore, chalrmen of thes democratic town committee ap- peared In the enemy's fold and reg- {stered a strong protest against the G. O. P. for not giving his party rep- resentation on the board of assessors and the board of finance. In the past the party having the mafjority con- trolled the boards which consisted en- | tirely of republicans. When this fact was called to the attention of the re- pudlican leaders last fall Mr. Moore wak assured that the democrats would be gtven representation this fall. When the republicans, forgetting this promise nominated Fred Hubbard for ‘mssessor, Mr. Moore appeared and lodged a‘ strong complaint. After much argumentation during which the legality of such a move was dis- tussed in length, matters were finally brought to a peaceful close. It was AMR1ly decided to allow the demo- cratic representation on the board of relief, the republicans failing to nom- | Inate a candidate for this office. The meeting was calied to order at 8 o’clock. Ex-Senator Claude W. 3 was chostn moderator and William H. Whster called upon Mr. | Moore to bring forth the names of | the democratic candidates for the | offices hut was reminded by Mr. Gib- ney that ““this is a republican and not | a democratic caucus.” Harmony pre- vailed when it was decided to allow | the democrats representation on the | board of relief.

Mr. Gibney offered a resolution that Mr. Lawrenoe’'s name be substituted for Mr. Nelson's and it was carried by a rising vote of 46 to 40. Mr. Law- rence was then nominated for the of- fice. A collection was taken to help defray the expenses incurred by the ! town committee in having the notices ) of the meeting printed and the meet- | ing adjourned. Democrats Nominate. After watching the tactics of the republicans, the democrats adjourned | to the court room and held their | nominations for the town offices. The meeting was called to order hy John | A. Moore.

Plainville News SCHODLS WILL OPEN MONDAY, SEPT. 10 Half Day Sessions in the Kinder- garten and First Grades FULL CORPS OF TEACHERS Political Ball May Be Started Rolling in Near Future—Surprise Party Tendered Rev. and Mrs. J. G. Ward By Parishioners—Briefs. According to an announcement made this morning by Orrin L. Judd, principal, the graded schools of Plain- ville will open next Monday, Sept. 10. A full corps of teachers for the en- suing year have been engaged and will be present at the first session Monday morning. Owing to lthe fact that the new ad- dition to the school building is not completed and until this is ready for use there will be half-day sessions in the kindergarten and first grades. Only children five years of age will be admitted to the kindergarten, which will have its sessions mornings. Children promoted from the kinder- garten to grade 1 C, will attend after- noons anly from 1 to 3:30 o'clock in the kindergarten building. Pupils whose certificates read Grade L B, will attend mornings only in room No. 1 in the old building, and puplls whose ocertificates read grade No. 1 A will attend afternoons from 1 to 3:30 o’clock in the same room. Because of the large number of primary children this plan will be fol- lowed only until the new building can be occupied. Completion is looked for about the first of October. The school committee has by per- sistent effort been able to secure a full staff of teachers to fill the va- cancies of those resigned. Two extra teachers have also been added to the faculty for the coming year. In this respect Plainville has been very fortunate. Many other schools in neighboring towns and cities have been unable to secure a complete corps of teachers and in some in- stances have received the greatest shaking up of the teaching staff in years. That the town is growing steadily 1s evidenced by the fact that several new families have moved into town during the summer. This will mean that more scholars will be present this year and that strange faces will appear among the flock. When the schools open Monday a record attend- ance is looked for. Up She Goes? s has been the custom for several ve the political balloon will re- safely grounded unless unfore- scen developments occur within the next two weeks. It takes a certain amount of heated atmosphere known as political “hot alr” to inflate the mythical dirigible and at present there is none of that substance in evi- dence. Everything seems serene and quiet in political circles. No date has vet been set for the democratic or republican caucus and judging by the ‘‘don’t care” attitude the officeholders assume these affairs will probably prove to be very tame. As the caucuses have to be held | eighteen days before the election the date will probably be set as the lat- ter part of next week. Although First Selectman Johnson main ! has made no statements pro or con i he is keeping the town he will probably be chosen to succeed himself. The present incumbent of the office has found favor in the pub- lic eye since he was first elected to office and his report for the year printed a short time ago showed that well within the bounds of propriety as regard financial conditions. Who will be the democratic cholce for first selectman is unknown but it is thought that Willlam C. Hart will be favored with the nomination. He is one of the well known men of the town and has a large number of friends. He opposed Johnson at the last election but was defeated by a small majority. Joseph McKernan, who at present is serving as temporary registrar of voters because of the death of Isaac P. Newell may be nominated by his standard bearers to continue in office. It seems to be the concensus of opjnion, although he is a staunch re- publican, that he will reecive the ald of both parties. All other republican office holders will probably continue in office. A few democratic nominees will neces- sarily have to be elected to fill the number of offices. Another republi- can landslide is looked for this vear unless the democrats spring some- thing out of the ordinary At the Churches Advent Christian church, Rev, J. W. Dentor, pastor. Preaching services will be held at 10:45 a. m. and at 7 o'clock in the evening. In the ab- sence of the pastor, the pastor's father, Rev. J. Dentor of Brook- lyn. N. Y. will preside at the hoth services. The murning sub- ject will be “Christian Fellowship” followed by the communion service. In the evening he will give one of his Bible studies on the tabernacle, illus- trated by a large chant. Plainville Baptist church.

Commensurate with the thirty-fifth anniversary of thelr marriage Rev. and Mrs, J. G. Ward of Whiting street were tendered a surprise party at the parsonage last evening. The affair which proved very successful was arranged by members of the Baptist church, of which Mr. Ward is pastor. During the evening H. D, Spellman gave an address of congratulation after which he presented Rev. Ward with two paper hearts each of which contained a gold piece. The happy couple were also made the recipients of other gifts. Later in the evening music and solos held sway after which refreshments were served. Another Surprise Party.
