Berlin News PRIMARY SYSTEM MAY BE ADOPTED Stevens Sees Caucus Crowd Too Unwieldly 50 ATTEND MEETING Morse-Nye and Huck-Kulper Wed- ings—First Selectman George E. Carter Thanks Suporters—Vital Statistics for August—Other Items | That the primary system of nom- { inating the town officers will be P 1’ used by the republicans in the near « future, was the opinion of State ite- . presentative Claude W. Stevens last evening during the republican cau- cus, Scveral other prominent repub- licans agreed with him that if a crowd as large as that of last night ! turns out regularly at the republi- Y can caucus it will be necessary to desert the old caucus system which has been in vogue in Berlin since the town was founded. Berlin is not equipped with a hall large enough to take care of the large crowd of approximately 500 who try to gain éntrance at a cau- cus and in the face of this handi- cap it may be necessary to adopt the primary system which would al- low about two hours a day for vot- ing. Considering the fact that prac- tically 500 were present at the cau- cus last evening and the new voting list shows over 400 names, the qu s- tion of handling the caucus next year becomes a serious matter. 1t took more than an hour to take care of the crowd on one first selectman last evening. were necessary for a second ballot, a matter whickl would be brought about if none of three candidates received a majority, the caucus would have lasted until the late hours of the evening. With two such contesls on tie state the people would not be able to leave for their home until near midnight. This would be inconvenient for many be- cause of the great distance they have to travel and it would dis- courage many from exercising their voting privilege. Republican leaders expressed sat- isfaction with the interest taken in the caucus and one in particular, Charles F. Lewis, urged the voters to continue interest in the national clection and put Hoover, the repub- lican nomine=, in the White House. Thanks Supporters First Sclectman George B. Carter, who was defeated last evening by Leon Hall for re-nomination as the republican candidate for first select- man, wishes to extend his sincere thanks to all the republican voters who supported him last evening at the caucus and is high in his praise of the voters who worked hard to put him across for the nomination. Mr. Carter extended his congratu- lations to the successful candidate last evening and goes out of office in October with a splendid record behind him. He feels that he ac- complished all that was expected of him during his terms as Mrst select- man and is proud of the people who supported him last evening at the caucus. Vital Statistics The vital statistics registered at the office of the town clerk show little change in comparison to those of 1927 for the month of August.

COMING ALONSG WITA TIS CIRCUS IDEA OF MIS ?

W. Furrey for the past several years a member of the Plainville constabulary, failed of renomination at the republican cau- cus held last night in the Plainville High school auditorium. The action came as a distinct surprise because no efforts were made to nominate him and his name was not even brought before the assembly for consideration. The deputy sheriff recelved his county appointment from High Sherift Edward W. Dewey. He was formerly night patrolman for the town until ke was supplanted a year or more ago by the present pa- trolman, George Schubert. When the time came to nominate candidates for the constabulary, a committee of three was chosen to bring in four names. The commit- tee consisted of First Selectman James E. Simpson, Fred Bullen and C. R, Sherman, When these report- ed to the caucus that they had se- lectcd George Schubert, Ernest Far- rar, Willlam Buys, three who are already constables, the caucus was startled to hear the fourth name as that of Barr J. Wadsworth. News of the dumping of the dep- uty sherift spread like wildfire about the town. The deputy sheriff failed to make any statement but in the popularity, there was reioicing. Late into the night, he was receiving tel phone calls from all the surround- ing towns, congratulating him on Lis defeat. He was formerly a con- tractor but deserte’! this business to take up police work, .

For the last year and a half he has labored over his manuscript, completing it while re- siding in Plainville. He was advised to have it published. ‘Through his studies at the Boston art school he was enabled to work out the sepia steel engraving eon the wrapper, the picture suggesting the idea of the story. The book was conceived and atarted while he was serving in his first pastorate in Corry, Pa., and it was concluded over a year in Bev- erly and thoroughly revised in Plainville. While pastor at Corry, Pa., the evening audiences, for some un- known rcason, began to diminish in winter. To correct this, Mr. Cleve- land conceived the idea of a re- ligious romance. Thus the book was begun and two chapters were read each night for 12 consecutive weeks.
