FOR THE ELECTION.
Republican Town Committee Have
Naught to Rally Against.

Grafton, Oct. 2S--The republican
town committee held meeting in the
court room last evening for the purpose
of talking over and deciding on plans
for getting out the voters on election
day. There are 1910 polls in town and
the number of names on the printed
voting list is 765, leaving AIS voters in
town who have not registered. 1t is ex-
pected that about 100 win be added to
the list before Nov. s, and the repub-
lican committee is endeavoring to get
as large q vote polled as possible, as
many will only vote part of a ticket,
thus reducing the total number of votes
counted
The democrats are considering the
advisability of having a rally meeting,
but the republicans said at last night S
meeting they did not have need of a
republican rally, as there is almost
naught to rally against. A democratic
rally attended largely by republicans
would be interesting to the latter.
John T. Simmons, attorney Of the
Grafton, Upton and Milford Electric
Railway Company, was in town last
evening to consider some points with
reference TO his road, but owing to only
two of the selectnen being present the
matter was postponed until this even
ing, when a regular meeting of the
board has been called for the purpose
Of getting out a town warrant. The
