Stevens at the state legislature recently, has been recefved by the Herald from Mr. Stevens. The letter follows: “My attention was recently called to the fact that the town of Berlin took action on the question of bi- annual elections some six years ago. I askéd Town Clerk Artbur Wood- ruft to furnish me with a copy of the minutes of this meeting which he has done. “In view of the fact that the citi- zens at the above referred to meet- ing turned down the proposition, I shall do nothing about the matter unless a special town meeting is called and an affirmative vote is taken. If such a meeting is not called T 1 appear before the leg- jslative commlttee and ask to have the bill Introduced by me with- drawn, “CL A consen: chances of a special town mecting YTeing called at a low figure and it is probably that the bill will be with- drawn, The last echo of the battle drifted in today when the opposition to the move stated that a check-up of the towns mentioned yesterday In the promoter’y statement showed that each of the towns mentioned had voted the biennjal change in regular assembled town mecting. Stevens stated today lieved in the merits of the bill and that he was willing to sign a peti- tion for a special town meeting but he still held to his original state- ment that he would withdraw the bill it opposition proved sufficiently active. The bill, which called for biennlal elections, to public offices, was in- troduced unexpectedly by Repre- sentative Stevens several weeks ago. Me gave as his reason for the sud- den move the fact that it would be included in this year's ealendar and that he had had no time to announce the intended move before the final date of submitting bills for incluston in the calendar, Recently opposition arose and today marked the en- trance into the opposition of several prominent republicans, the unfavor- able comment coming from local democrats previously. UDE W. STEVENS " The chief argument of the opposi- ' tion was the fact that the town meeting six years ago had voted down the question and that Repre- sentative Stevens would gain by a gurvey of town opinion hefore sub- mitting bills which would affect local politics. The representative had considerable following at the beginning of the fight and it was at first believed that the bill would be adopted with no trouble. Tt is now generally belleved that the promo- ters of the bill will take no action towards the calling of s speclal in the town put the | that he be-! town meeting. Leaves For West Miss Bertha F.
