FAGAN IN ASSEMBLY RACE Democrats at Large Caucus Reach Choice Unanimously WOMEN'S CLUB PLANNED Party Plans to Organize Feminine Votes—Kensington Church Holds | Annual Reception — Church No- tices—Wells Running Dry. Following the republican caucus | of Thursday night the democrats! held theirs last night to furnish com- petition on November 4, at which time the state election will be held. Daniel Malarney, chairman of the democratic town committee, called the meeting to order at 8 o'clock at the Berlin town hall and George W. Sullivan of Kensington was elected temporary chairman of the meeting, with W. J. Fagan as clerk. W. W. Fagan of Kensington was elected as the nominee to carry the democratic colors into the election in November. There was very little opposition to this selection, and the democrats seemed well pleased with their choice. George W. Sullivan, Raymond Dyer, John A. Moore, and Robert Fagan were elected as nom- inces for justices of the peace. There was an unusually large at- tendance present at the caucus last night and both rooms of the town hall were filled to capacity. This proved interesting after the large republican turnout of the night be- fore, and it seemed to indicate that interest in politics was rising in Ber- lin. While the democratic party is admittediy weaker here than the re- publican is, it was looked on as a good omen by the democrats th. their own caucus went almost unan movusly in favor of their candidate, whereas the vote was rather close hetween the two republican candi- dates. Plan Women's Club At the closing of the caucus at 2:45 o'clock it was announced that the democratic ladies would give a whist party in the near future to Telp defray expenses of the caucus.
