Mentioned for Legislature PREDICTIONS BEING MADE Registrars Mect Tomnmw—Gunge Fair (‘omlng in September—Many Residents Going Out of Town—No | ‘More About ‘O’'Neill—Other Items. ‘The political pot is once more be- ginning to boil in Berlin. Hot weath- er may have aided it somewhat, but citizens are beginning to consider the possible candidates for the positions of first selectman and representative from Berlin in the state legislature. Among the names heard whispered around in political circles for the state office are those of Miss Marjorie Moore of Kensington, S Chase Coale of Berlin and Robert O. Clark of East Berlin, Miss Moore is one of the town's most active women, politically. She has held the office of postmostress in Kensington and has been active in advancing the cause of the women in politics. She is regarded as a likely republican candidate from the town and there are many who say the town could pick none better. S. Chase Coale is the present chair- man of the Berlin school board and the record of the board so far this year is proof of the good work he is doing. Berlinites seem to be of the opinion that Mr, Coale would make a good man for the position, being well versed in business affairs and possessing the cool judgment of a business man . that is so much needed for the position of representative. * Mr. Clark is well known in town and East Berlinites are rooting for hMm. He iy one of the leading citi- #ens in that district and would he .sore to poll a large number of votes. Tt's early yet, but the political fore- ters are already beginning to talk and it is expected that the campalign this year ‘will wax fast and furious. AMling's Name Suggested The name of Willlard I. Alling of Kensington is being talked of to oc- cupy the space marked “First select. man' on the republican sidé of the town ballot this fall. Mr. Alling has served the town well in the past in the same capacity and his cause would be advanced hastily this year if he woyld consent to run, it is understood. No word has come from the Carter camp as yet, but it is probable that Mr. Carter will agaln be a candidate this vear. The post office politicians predict as much.

Mr. Steels is now on a vacation and {could not be reached this: morning, |but in discussing the matter last [week, he seemed to have the impres- sion that Mr. Conlon's coal did not meet the requirements as the dealer [did not guarantee his product in a |letter with the bid as did the success- |ful bidder s the contract has heen flet and has already heen |started, little doubt is heing expr delivery “De Luxe Auto Bus” PARTIES, TRIPS AND EXCURSIONS Any Place—Any Time Tel.
