Berlin News RICKEY NOMINATED FOR ASSEMBLYMAN Defeats Mrs. Hooker in Close Republican Caucus Yote NEW PLAN WORKS WELL & Time Saved, Confusion Obviated By . , . Balloting Deny System — Democrats Rumor of Endorsement Plans—Enumeration Complete. The exciting campaign between Mrs. Jean Hooker and Pardon C. Rickey for the republican nomina- tion for state representative culmi- nated last night as the votes cast at the caucus were counted and Mr. Rickey was found to have won with 480 votes to Mrs. Hooker’s §51. Staid Berlin did not break traditions to nominate a woman as representative on the republican ticket, and once more a man will carry the colors into the election on November 4. The nominees for justice of the peace as result of last night's cau- cus are Franklin N. Bacon, Peter Georgini, Arthur H. Bushnell, Elmer 'W. Stearns and Jason M. Taylor. The new caucus system worked well and there were more voters at the town hall last night than had ever before attended a caucus in Berlin. The Kensington box was situated on the floor, while the box for Berlin and East Berlin voters was located on the stage. Steadv lines of voters formed to march up to their recpective ballot boxes, and at no time from the opening at 7 o'clock until the closing at 9:30 o'clock was there the last sign of congestion. Curiosity to see the im- proved caucus system in action, in- terést in the two candidates, and a night of perfect weather drew voters out en masse. A total of 831 votes was cast last night. The chairman of the republican town committee Henry C. Deming, called the caucus to order at 7 o'clock, and his brother, Lester T Deming, was elected temporary chairman of the meeting. The offi- cials at the two ballot boxes were: Berlin and East Berlin box, chair- man, Arthur Benson, and checkers, Louls Goodrich and Olof Benson; Kensington box, chairman, Royal Morse, checkers, Royal Morse and Mrs. Adele Bassett. At 9:30 o'clock the votes were counted by Louis Goodrich, Arthur Benson, Lester F. Deming and Mrs. Adele Bassett. They were not counted by separate districts, but & were pooled and totalled all togeth- e er. Iess than half an hour was re- quired to count the votes, but, while a few remained to hear the returns, mosts voters took advantage of tho new system which allows voters to leave as quickly as they cast their ballots. All the political leaders were on hand last night busy greeting voters as they approached the town hall. Mr. Rickey wore a winning smile, while Claude W. Stevens carried a handful of Hooker ballots. The mill- ing throng gave little evidence that there was a competition going on and scemed more like a large social gathering than a primary election. Automobiles were lined along the street for a quarter of a mile each way from the town hall. An exca- vation for enlargement of the man- hole in front of the hall made driv- ers exceedingly careful as they pass- ed the busy place of voting. Rumors False Tt has been learned from credit- Able sources that certain rumors that Tan, Ruby, Tone, Etc. Misses’ — Second Floor ‘ Wins Caucus Fight ] — - —————————————— PARDON C. RICKEY had been circulated to the effect that the democratic caucus to be held tonight would have endorsed Mrs. Jean Hooker had she won the republican nomination last night, are false. Regardless of whether there is a big chance of winning at the election in November or not, the democrats will nominate a member of hteir party tonight to oppose the republican candidate, Pardon C. Rickey. Visiting New York Miss Marion E. Cashman, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. C man of Worthington ridge, left today for New York city where she will stay until Tuesday.

The correct date is Tuesday night, the regular meeting time of the club. Coping Stones Repaired The coping stones of St. Paul's church have given away of late and are now in the process of being re- paired. The under-pinnings of the piers have also required attention.
