confer with the different parties in regard
to getting certain of their members in

that they had made overtures to the two
parties, but had received no reply to their
communication. The names suggested by
the committee in their communication to
the two parties were Josiah Williams, Jr.,

be proper for them to select the best cam
didates available. In consequence OF this
sentiment the following ticket was placed
in nomination for the Town Council:
Henry Franklin, James Samuel Wild,
Josiah Williams, Jr., Michael c. Ryan and
David Thompson.
In the meantime the Democratic town
