The Muddlc Over the Independent
ticket Likely 10 BE Solved Today.
THE NEWS BUREAU.

THE NEWS BUREAU,

Telephone s9l1
The Independent tickets which have
caused so much confusion are now being
considered by Town Solicitor Tillinghast.
Town Solicitor Tillinghsst instructed
Town Clerk Joseph Cough TO call the
representatives of both tickets, and a
meeting was held yesterday afternoon.
The town clerk presided and Attorney
l.. l.. Angel appeared for the Budlong
party, together with Mr.. Budlong and
other members OF his party. Mr.. Bennett
was supported by Messrs. Walker and
Fenner.
Mr.. Bennett told them that he was not
satisfied with the Republican caucus and
joined with Others in meeting in
Mechanics Hall TO frame an independent
ticket TO nominate Richard Arnold against
Mr.. Hoibrook. Whey anticipate filing
nomination papers under the title OF
.Citizens Ticket" They had So sigma
lures, the law requiring 80. When they
proceeded to file their papers the town
clerk suggested that they could enter their
ticket as the Independent, and dispense
with the nomination red tape.
The Independent party had polled over
two per cent, OF the vote for town SER
geant last year.
Mr.. Cough said that Budlong told him
on that day that there were going to be no
Independents.
Mr.. Budlong admitted telling Mr..
Cough that the Independents would not
enter the field this year, but said
ne meant not general ticket
TO night nominations of
the other caucuses. He issued verbal
call on Friday night and eight persons
assembled at his home and they framed
the ticket. Two of these had not even
been with the Independents before.
The Bennett party indicated a willing
ness to file the nomination paper sigma
lures as they originally intended. Town
Solicitor Tillinghast is inclined to believe
that this makes IL easy TO straighten out
the muddle. The law does not state that
the nomination paper signatures shall be
formally filed with the certificate, ?, and has
thus far found nothing in the ballot law
to prevent the clerk from giving differ
ent title to one of the two confusing ones
Both tickets will be used-one called
Citizens and the other Independent.
Special Meeting of Town Council.
A special meeting of the Town Council
was held yesterday and the town clerk
was directed to have calls issued Tor the

other places that have been proposed.
