Contest for First Se- lectman Holds Stage Center MANY T0 BE MADE VOTERS Approximately 1,800 republicans ind demacrats will be engible to \otc at the caucuses of their parties in the Town hall and Legion hall Monday night. Of ‘this number 1,- 004 wre registered with the republi- can party, 189 with the democratic party, and the remainder are voters who have not registered with either party. ‘The republicans are registered in the following districts: Lustrict one, Berlin, 330; district two, Kensington, 498; district three, Last Berlin, 176. | The democrats are registered as fol- lows: District one, Berlin, 14; dis- | tric two, Kensington, 146; district | three, East Berlin, 29. These figures | were furnished by Royal H. Morse, republican registrar of voters after he had taken a census of the voting list to the present time. The 451 voters who are to “e made on September 15 will not be eligible to vote n caucus Monday. A hard battle to influence voters is being waged between the three candidates for the republican non ination for first selectman. The incumbent, George B. Carter, has received unexpected support after making known his intention to run and it is understood that the re- ublican organization and all the “regulars” in the party will be out to help him. 1t is also said that Leon Hall, the first to announce his candidacy will be given much eupport from the younger republicans in town, espe- cially from members of the Ameri- can lLegion of which he is an active ) member. John Carbo has the solid backing of Italian voters as well as that of other nationalities. He and several lleutenants have been carrying on an active campalgn which they hope will bring him the nomination. George Alling will not be a candi- date for first melectman he an- nounced this morning. He was being backed by a group of voters and for a time it was predicted by republi- can leaders that 4 four-cornered race for the honor would take place. He is a son of Willard Alling, first | selectman several years ago. 80 far no candidate has been heard of for second selectman, but | it 18 expected that there will be no | contesta for honors other than that | of the highest oftice. The Town hall is expected to be crowded beyond its capacity at the republican-caucus Monday. Democrata also report consider- able interest in their party this yea“ ard the Legion hall will probably have u larger crowd than that | which has attended a democratic caucus in years. Raymond Dyer will probably be the party’s choice for firat selectman and the second melectman will he either Joseph Carbo or Philip Fagan. Tt I8 expected that the rest of the party membhers now in office will be returned to th-ir noritions. {Anna Muecller, M. T.

Political interest in Plainville is being focussed upon the state elec- | tion in November aimost to the ex- clusion of the town election to be held on October 1, and the local balloting has aroused practically no attention in spite of the fact that both parties will hold their caucuses on Monday night. The republican town committee met last night and devoted its en- is hoped to turn out a larger vote than has ever been the case In the past. A great effort will be made fo line up as many new voters as possible for that election and to see that all the “to be mades” are “made.”” For this pur- pose a house-to-house canvass will be made by the majority party, Chairman Ralph L. Seymour of the | republican town committee stated | today. Plainville has again been honored by having Governor John H. Trumbull renominated for the highest post in the &tate, and it is hoped by the republicans that the voters of the town will back him as they have in the past and help pile up a majority for him and the national ticket. The democrats are marking time jat present, waiting for the end of "the state convention in New Haven, where Ernest J. Millerick and {Frank J. O'Brien are attending as delegates from this town. They have also been planning a more active icampaign than in the past and hope to cut down the G. O. P. majority even if they cannot wipe it out en- tirely. Nothing has developed yet re- {garding announcements of candi- |dacles for representative from this | town. When questioned this morn- ing, Robert B. White, the present asseniblyman, said that he had not | vet given thought to the matter. His predecessor, John J. Kimmel, has expressed himself as unwilling to be a candidate for any office in the | future, having decided to retire from | politics, Both parties will hold caucuses | Monday night at § o'clock, the re- | publicans in the high school audi- | torium and the democrats in the Town hall, and will nominate can- didates for the town election. There seems to be a general feeling of at- |isfaction with the present office holders, and it is expected that both parties will again place in the fleld the men who are now serving in the various offices and on the several boards and committees. The most speculation, possibly, is over the as- scssor's berth left vacant by the resignation of Robert J. Coe. Both First Sclectman James Simpson and Second Selectman William Down- ham will be candidates once more and are likely to be named by ac- clamation. Whether the democrats will head their ticket with Third Selectman Winfield H. 1.oomis or re. turn to Edward P. Prior as a ticket leader is uncertain.

P. and the Work It a5 Dong pt. & (P—Herbert Hoover has a way of making sudden decisions and unlooked-for state- ments that takes those around him { by surp This tendency was aptly fllustrat- {ed in his semi-weckly conference with newspaper correspondents late {vesterday when he suddenly left {loose his first bolt aimed at the dem- |ocratic opposition. | In the press room at his general | headquarters, he seated himself be- {hind a large flat-topped desk, and with a smile inquired on what sub- Jects the two score of correspondents wished to interrogate him Greeted by Silence | His inquiry was greeted by silence which he himself broke with the declaration that the democratic na- itions] platform attempted to con- vey the impression that no accom- plishment to the cause of world peace had been made by the repub- can administration, On the contrary, the candidate said, the republican administration contributed the greatest steps in that direction since the world war, and he cited the treaty for the renuncia- tion of war as a national policy, the liimtations of naval armaments and the Dawes reparations settlement. | “May we quote you on that?" jn. quired a reporter. “You may.,” the republican presi- | dential nomince replied with no hes- itation and there was a furious mak. ing of notes as the newspapermen sought to recapture upon paper his rapid fire of words. Some failed ut- terly, but the official stenographer came to their rescue with typewrit. ten transcripts. ‘ In declining to talk for publication except at very rare intervals and in ‘perlll(ln( in what some of his p: [leaders regard as an obstinacy in sharply limiting the number of his |campaign addresses, the republican 'presidential candidate is following a | regime carefully worked out after a 'study of both present condidates and past political history. { The review of the records of cama paigns since the founding of the re. ! publican party has led Hoover to the conclusion that with one or two not- able exceptions the most successful of the candidates have been the ones who made ‘the smallest number of speeches and spoke the least for publication, Careers Wrecked This conclusion has been but- tressed by his own observations dur- g his seven years of public life in Washington. Even in so short a pace o ftime he has seen several promising political careers wrecked upon a sea of words, spoken both untimely and none too well, and he has determined to steer clear of similar political shoals. | Then, too, -he has limited the field to a discussion of the issues of campaign, refraining from personal jattacks, and he holds that no long series of spceches are required to present fully his own ideals as to how the problems of today will be handled if he is successful in his fight for the presidency. }Soihem to Retire | From Stage Shortly New Yor Sept. 8 (A—E.
