The general belief that after the Re-
publican caucus in Johnston made selec-
tions, the nom>nees were as good elect
ed, was verified at the pclls yesterday.
Mr.. Kenyon has the distinction of being
the first representative TO the Legislature
chosen in years from this town without a
single ballot In opposition.
Messrs. Beane and Luther received sub
stantial majorities over the united oppo-
sition The sdherents of the "Indepen-

to hear the result and retired contepted
tnat they had won, awoke this morning to
the fact that it was only dream and that
their idols were not the chosen OF the
people.
BY the decisive vote OF 72O to 29r the
plan for the election OF board OF health,
as endorsed by the town council, was
adopted.
The vote to divide the town into four
voting districts was 594 in favor TO 449
against. That 1t was not more decisive
was owing to the feeling that three dis
tricts were preferable to four. But four
II is to be.
The appropriation for $1,000 for high
ways yesterday pending the reg gular fnan-
cial meeting is ample at this time and
many express a belief that the Legislature
should have the law regulating the time
Tor making the highway appropriation
changed to the financial meeting when all
matter pertaining to appropriations are
made. This Is practically necessary now
since, with the division of the town into
four voting districts, the financial meet
ing in May Is the only time the electors
OF the whole town Will be called together
at one polling place; hence 1t will be i'm
possible to make any.appropriation at the
time of the State election hereafter.
Johnston is one OF the last towns in the
State to change from the old town sys-
tenn OF a single polling place.
Representative Covell of the 10th Ward
carried his home district in that Ward by
