HOT TIMES.
Three Caucuses to Be
Held in Millbury.
MUCH INTEREST
Manifested in the Coming
Town Meeting.

Millbury, March 6.-The political
struggle begins tomorrow with citi-
zens' caucus in the town hal. Just
who the candidates are is matter
which will not be brought to public at
tention until the meeting Is called to
order by the chairman, John Waters.
The object in holding a citizens eau
Gus is to break UP both the republican
and democratic rings, and the leaders
of the movement are confident of the
fact that they will succeed this year,
as they will put up candidates who
are big vote pullers and are favorites
among both parties.
The following night the republicans
will hold their caucus in Blanchard
Hall, and it is expected that there will
be many dark horses in the race, as
there are many candidates for the po-
sition, and all are candidates for the
position of selectmen. 1t is said that
II. w. Hakes had declined to run, but
this is a hard blow against the repub-
lican party, and as the citizens eau
Gus Will weaken the party somewhat,
many of the republican party will try
to induce Mr.. Hakes to allow his name
to be used for a candidate again this
year Another candidate who will
probably receive the nomination OF oil
three parties is DR.. Robert Booth, who
has served the town faithfully for
many years Another one men
toned is w. e. Horne, who has
very large party of followers and who
would probably be elected if he should
accept the nomination at the caucus.
The next night the democrats will
hold their caucus, and il is expected
that there will be a hot time on that
occasion. The strongest candidate of
the democrats is DIR. Robert Booth.

Webster. March 6.-About two thou
sand operatives of Skaters mills in this

they learn through the columns of The
Spy that there will soon be an increase
in wages.
Word was received from Horatio N.
Slater Saturday to the effect that a
raise was contemplated, and the COM
panE is now engaged in fixing the
schedule by which the increase will be
made as general among the employees
or the plant as possible. At first the
increase will be made in departments
which will be signaled out, these being
the ones wherein the depression in the
market during the past few years has
in any way affected the wage SEIZED
ule.
The advance will rise to 10 per cent
III some departments, being a great
deal less in others. The action in max
Ing the increase will be hailed with
great satisfaction by the EMPLOYEES of
the mills controlled by the Skaters. The
new schedule will probably go into eff

Webster, March 6.-The politicians
are laying their plans. They have now
practically decided on the slate for the
coming spring election. While inter-
estis not red hot in some of the offices,
the direct fight will be between the
candidates for the offices of selectmen
AMI road commissioner.
t is anticipated there will be a bit
fe' contest for these offices by the ca z.
diaates of both parties. 1t is certain
that the friends of each candidate will
do all they can toward furthering their
election.
However, the nominations are first in

The retiring member of the board,

Mr.. TAFT WON.
Three-conered Contest in Uxbridge Set
tied by Ballots.

Uxbridge, March 6.-The annual
March meeting, held today called out
large representation of the voters,
and resulted in several surprises. Con-
siderable hard work has been put in
by candidates for the different offices.
Perhaps the most interesting contest
was that for the office of tax collector.
Friends Of George A. Crocker and Sam
uel B. Taft, republican and democratic
nominees respectively. felt confident
that their man would win.
Previous to the meeting, it was con-
sidered about an even thing, with the
odds in favor of Crocker but when the
vote was announced. it was readily
comprehended that politics are uncer-
tain. at best. The band and a number
of the leading democrats serenaded Mr..
Taft at his Office this evening. Cigars
were passed and an hour of congratula-
ton followed.
The contest for the office of assessor
resulted in favor of Gideon M. Aldrich

NO OPERA THIS YEAR.
Lakesides Fear They Haven't Sufficient
Dramatic Talent.

The Lakeside Boat Club has decided
not to hold a dramatic entertainment.
After much discussion, it has been de-
termined to put off till another year
the proposed OPERA
The reasons given are these: The
members feel that they have not at
present sufficient dramatic talent to of
fer a creditable performance. If poor
performance were given, the club, they
think, would lose prestige. On the
other hand if they should enlist talent
from the outside, they could not claim
credit for the success. By another year,
it is thought, there will be plenty of
material in the clubs own ranks to
give a successful dramatic representa-
ton. Until that time the members do
not think it advisable to undertake any
thing.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee will be held tonight. The next
regular club meeting will come Mon
day evening.

democrats. The republicans will place
on the slate Andrew r. Snow, late
member of the state legislature and a
former holder of the office.
Mr.. Dugan, the present holder of the
office, was seen this noon by the Web
ster correspondent of The Spy, and said
he would accept the nomination.
Mr.. Dugan in his capacity as road
commissioner during the past year has
had many serious difficulties to combat,
but he met all successfully.
The local electric road proved a hard
enemy for Mr.. Dugan TO contend with.
Trouble has been continually arising
between the directors of the road and
himself relative to removing the banks
of snow.
1t is said the friends of Mr.. Snow are
going to secure the cooperation of
some of the leading democrats in de-
feating Mr.. Dugan. Mr.. Dugan, how
ever. has his friends in both parties,
as has Mr. Snow.
The contest will be bitter, and so will
the selectman's. Both candidates, Mr..
Love and DR.. Brown, besides being
prominent politicians, are prominent
men of the town. and each can count
a host of friends.
Mr.. Love ran last year on the demo-
cratic ticket, but was defeated at a
narrow margin by Deputy Sheriff Maui
