Mr. Bar- stow has Deen an active worker in the republican ranks for years and he will make & canvass for nomination for the office he seeks. Of special interest to many demo- srats in Killingly was the anrounce- nent by James Kent, Eimville, Tues- iay that he is a candidate for nomi- nation as selectman by his party. This, of course, will require the holding of 2 caucus that everyone ma know about in advance. Mr. Kent's friends will see that this is done. Last year Mr. Kent was a demo- sratic candidate for selectman and >nly missed election, over a democra- te t, by a few votes. This rear his friends will work harder than ever to see that he wins a place on be ticket, for they hold he repre]senls ac and is,not merely an e secker, put a man who piaces he interests of his party of above his >wn individual political interests.

Judge Reed, Who was to have held court returned —_— tures of the campaign. He is mighty strong with his party, especially in the first and second districts of the town ‘and by _electing him the demo- cratic men who are backing him hope 10 express effectively their disapproval of the present control of their town organization. i For the present, the license question, which is going to be fought out here four weeks from next Monday as strenuously as ever, is_overshadowed by the sheping up of the party tick- ets for the race for place. The gum-shoe brigades are alreade on the job and much may be “heard by approached voters that they may as well at once be ready to set down as pyre buncombe, designed to help some’ deserving patriot into office, re- gardless of what injury such talk may indirectly do to someone else.
