titles Him to d Second
Term.

Clinton, Oct Us. Ives Wallace is
IN the field as a candidate for repre-
sentative, running as an independent
republican. Mr.. Wallace is representa-
tive and town chairman of the republi-
can party He selected The Spy as the
medium of his declaration that he
would go into the field, which was an
nounced Sunday morning.
The following day a Worcester morn
ing newspaper had stories of its own
that Mr.. Wallace would not run and
nau not authorized the statement that
ne would run. This paper reproduced
the assertion this morning, and it's
readers were wondering whether to
pelleVe or doubt at the time when Mr..
Wallace handed to the correspondent
OF The Spy his formal appeal to the
voters for vindication:
Mr.. Wallace addressed his appeal to
the republican voters of the eleventh
district, and says:
After giving the matter careful con-
Slderation and having received num-
berless appeals from good substantial.
tax paying republicans, urging me to
stand by the guns in the interest Of
clean and honorable politics. | hereby
announce my intention to file nominal
ton papers for the office of representa-
tive to the general court from this dis
trict
Quoting the words of one of the
delegates whose name appears on Mr..
Davis list, l feel sure that Mr. Davis
is being used as a catspaw for some
ones personal spite
THE method of conducting the can
vass was entirely the reverse of fair
and open.
'Numberless petty Instructions as to
my political honesty, business integrI-
ty and private morality were cautiously
spread abroad, while at the same time
careful avoidance Of open charge was
strictly maintained. Any honorable
citizen with a clean political and com
mercial record, past or present, fears
no honest canvass of his votes, his ac-
counts or his habits
Il only ask my opponents to be as
open and honorable in their methods
as l have always endeavored to be in
mine.
1.-THE unwritten law that a repre-
sentative has the right to his second
term still holds in this locality, and
unless a man is proven politically or
morally corrupt during his first term
the party who elected him should rally
TO his support.
81 have received ample testimony
during the past week that the majority
of substantial republicans of Clinton
repudiate such unfair and unjust
methods and I have also received am
pie evidence that jusctice will be done
at the polls Noy7.'
(signed) S. Ives Wallace.
Mr.. Wallace is certain to poll large
vote. The republican vote in the dis
trict will hardly exceed 800 ballots, and
the democratic vote not more than 1400
LOT HOLDERS TO MEET.
The lot holders committee Of st.
Johns Cemetery association will hold
a meeting Friday evening to determine
what it is best TO do. John F. Philbin,
chairman Of the committee, thinks that
before Friday night, a large majority
of the lot holders of the parish will have
given their power Of attorney to the
committee.
The membership of the committee is
as follows: Rt. Rev. Bishop Thomas D.
Beaver, Rev. w. C. Mclaughlin, Hon.
John W. Corcoran, DR.. Philip T.
O'Brien, ]. F. Dervin, Bernard Nc
Laughlin, ]. ]. Collins, John F. Philbin,
DR.. P. A. S. Grady j. B. O'Toole, Will
lam H. Fay, Henry McQuaid, J. J.
Joyce j. E. Harrity. J. w Mcnamara,
William F. O'Toole, Luke Oils and JOS
eph Whalen.
Mr.. Philbin said this evening to The
Spy man that he does not know what
arrangements can be made with the
metropolitan water board about moving
the bodies. This, he says, will be known
when the committee, entrusted with
authority by a majority of the lot hold
ers, approaches the water board to talk
business.
1t is possible that the water board
may decline to deal with the committee
and may go to the Legislature for an act
giving it power to seize the land and re-
move the 1000 bodies in the old ceme-
terry with certain stipulations.

the other witnesses to the assault. But
the court fined the prisoners $40 each,
which they promptly paid.
