Mr. Woodworth resigned the position of assistant city clerk to ac- cept that of sealer of weights and measures, and to make room for his co-worker to take that position, so that the assistant could slip into the nomi- nation for the clerkship. Now as that move failed, 'perhans Mr. Grout mav, in his magnanimity, resign and make way for Mr. Woodworth to as- sume that post of honor again, es- pecially as the former already has membership in the board of school visitors. A man has been suggested as a suc- cessor to Mr. Woodworth as sealer of weights and measures who is well devote his time and attention to the duties and bring the office un to the standard; and where the benefits would be apparent, the buyers and sellers being satisfied that they are receiv- in the exact quanity of goods pur- chased, and are given a sauare deal, just as Alderman James F. O'Leary anticipated when he succeeded after parsistent _effort in havin> the or- dinance adopted by the court of com- mon council. The man suggested as Mr. Woodworth’s successor is George he | equipped for the position and would ! to their comfort and brought to them pleasure and realization that life, after all, was really worth the living. t _The result of the city and town elec- | tion was a surprise to the managers of both parties, and the fact that one of the ~democratic candidates for | selectman led his republican opponents, and received 294 republican votes: in the face of the returns, has. caused the aforesaid managers to do just a little figuring and examination. At this victory the tally sheets of four of the five wards have been examined and it was found that 184 democrats had voted for all the republican candidates except for selectmen, but did vote.for orie selectman on the democratic ticket. If these 184 votes were taken from the republican totals and added to the democratic figures, almost- the entire democratic ticket would ‘have been elected. The fact that so many tickets were marked identically, coupled’ with' the actual strength of the republican party vote, indicate that the. result | was achieved through organized effort to elect the selectman even at the cost of defeat of every other candidate on the democratic ticket. Suspicion | was aroused by the abnormal number ! of republican votes credited to a,dem- ocratic candidate of only ordinary prominence, and the investigation .fol- lowed. This is an old political trick played in a new way with the Australian { ballot, its object bejhg to impress that { the party is working in harmony and for success of the whole ticket, which would notr obtain so well by scratchine or by voting the opposite ticket with the exception of a single candidate. and Charlie Budeit, Jr. ceeds were $4.50.
