The Democratic town committee at
meeting in the Council chamber last even
ing adopted resolutions endorsing the
independent legislative nominees, Messrs.
Hughes and. Heaton. This move has. been
anticipated since the Democratic caucus
referred he nomination of candidates to
the town committee. Ii was the only
resort left for the party TO adopt IL they
were to be considered as factor in the
present canvass.

the Democrats were shut out from max
ing nominations, as they had no nomi-
nees last year and consequently failed to
poll the necessary per cent. OF the votes
TO entitle them to caucus nominations
this year.
Their endorse nent will increase the to-
tai vote of the Independent ticket, but
what proportion of the Democratic voters
will follow the manifesto OF the commit
tee IL is difficult to forecast. The normal
Republican majority in this town is about
$50. That the result of this election will
show any material change from these
lgures is not anticipated by the party
leaders.
