Attorney Rich was urged by friends to seck the nomination two | years ugo but he refused to seek the office at that time. Four years ago Mr. Quinion lost the nomination by it margin. Judd, when inter- viewed this morning, stated that he was not secking the nomination. His friends, however, point out that his record as a member of the council would make him a formidable can- | didate. I"or the office of state senator the name of Iuller F. Barnes has been mentioned frequently. The republi- can party in the city feels that it is entitled to name the next candidate for the reason that no Bristol man 1s held the office since Martin E. Pierson was elected over 20 years H. Hall, father of 1t Hall of this city, served as state senator in 1907. Mr. Barnes is one of the city's most prominent business men.

During the past two years there has been considerable discussion re- garding the establishment of a local airport. Several months ago, the city council appointed a special com- mittee, of which Major Willlam J, Malone is chairman, to look into the advisability of such a move. Bever- al sites have already been considered but all were too far removed from the center of the city. It is prob. able, however, that some definite ac- tion toward the establishment of an airport will be taken early next |summer. | Fined In Souf Michael J.
