The democrats‘of Westerly, and there are surely a few of the true ang tried variety; held a caucus in the town hall and made nominations for councilmen, and evidently with the, 1 purpose of concentrating their full force in the political battle for su- premacy in the town council. For first councilman as opponent to William Culley, who aspires to the presidency of the town ocouncil, the democrats have nominated . Babcock, who has served as president of the council and who is considered one of the best vote getters in the town of Westerly. In the last election Mr. Babcock was defeated by Albert H. Langworthy, an acknowledged repub- lican leader, by only two votes. This was a remarkable showing in Wester- ly. where the republicans are in a large majority. . In this same last election, Mr, Culley a leader on his ticket, 80 a close vote is expected with Mr. Babcock as his opponent. Maurice W. Flynn, who has served in the council four terms, will be op- posed by Harris P, Chapman. Charles B. Thomas, a member of the present council, will be opposed by Arthur E. B , and the democratic”opponent of cis G. Haswell, another mem- ber of the council, will be Gorton P. Cottrell. - The balance of the demo- cratic nominations for the council are: B.r’g;.:(n J. Christie to oppose Charles G. g, Dwight M. Cornell in oppo- sitfon to Thomas E. Robinson and John A, Farrell town committeeman, Roj ’lgl:‘u.ucua was called to order by John A. Farrtll, town committeeman. Arthur E, Briggs was.chosen chair- man and Charles D. Cornell clerk. There was a small attendance and the nominations were made without oppo- sition. No nominations were made for any of the town offices except councilman, nor were any of the re- publican nominees endorsed. The of- fices left vacant on the tlcket are, moderator, town clerk, town treasurer and collector; members of the.school committee, assessors of toxes and overseer of the poor.
