not figure to any great extent In the in

men employed in the industry is 2327, of
which 273 are non-union men. The number
of workers outside of the tonnage men en-
ployed at tin plate plants is 3265, and a

At the last moment petition asking that the question, Shall license be granted for the sale of intoxicating lio uors?" be inserted in the call for the annual town meeting, was received by the selectmen. The consequence is that an extra sum for box-tenders, etc, will be added to the election expenses.
 The republicans should turn out this evening to the caucus and nominate clean ticket, as no doubt they will, and on Monday make it a point to get out and vote. If they do, there is no ques- tion that the entire ticket will be elect ed by handsome majority. The name of W.

The name of Theodore F. Lane is favorably men toned for town clerk. The other off, cers will be chosen at the caucus, and it is safe to say that they will be all right.

Constitutional Amendment Ballots Go

 The manner of voting upon the pro- posed constitutional amendment has been the subject of some little discus sion here and in surrounding towns. Many contend that as the law does not expressly stipulate that a separate bal lot box be provided for the votes in favor of or against the amendment they should be deposited enclosed in the official envelope furnished for the cleo tion of town officers, while others have claimed that a separate box was neces- sary. To settle this question, Town Clerk J. c.
