Sebago, July 2O-The Democrats did
not ATTEND the caucus yesterday which
the town committee, represented by
the VIM. G. Poor faction, called for the
purpose OF choosing deleg ates to district
and county convention. This is the
second time the Democrats have called
caucus this year that was not attended
by the patty. The first was called by the
Edwin L. Poor faotien and the one called
Yesterday was by the VIM. @. Poor fac
ton. The caucus OF last January which
elected the now committee was called by
only one Of the mem beTs Of the commit
tee, Walter S. Martin, and Edwin l..
Poor claims that ii takes a majority OF a
political committee TO call a caucus as in
The recent case OF the Bangor Republi-
cans, and that the majority has the power
not only to decide theI1nanner Of calling
them but also the time Of calling them
and therefore the new Democratic COM
mittee that was chosen at caucus called
by only one member of their old regular
town committee canno6 be legal any more
than the Bangor Republicans can have
q legal caucus except 1t be called by a
majority of their committee. 1t seems as
diffioult to unite the Democratic party
of Sebago as it is to unite the gold stand
ard and FREQ silver coinage Democrats
together. It is impossible tostell what the
Dmocrats will do until it is known who
the Republicans will nominate for their
cand idate as representative,
