Webster, Nov. 6.-Tonight Webster,
the centre of the Worcester county
seventh representative district, which
includes the other towns of Dudley, Ok
ford, Charlton and Southbridge, is alive
with enthusiasm over tomorrow's cleo
ton.
The strife will come only in the rep
resentative contest. The nominees
who will be voted for at the polls to-
morrow are Joseph P. Love, democrat,
Webster; A. Frederick Putnam, repub-
Hcan, Charlton; Samuel r. Barton,
democrat Oxford; and William r Her
ron, republican, Southbridge.
During the past week all manner of
wagers have been posted as to the res
suit of the election, but the odds ia
vor Mr.. Love. There is not the least
doubt that he will poll big compli-
mentary vote from Webster Oxford
and Dudley where he is intimately
known. Charlton will also give him
good vote, but some of the politicians
think Southbridge will cut him some

So lively has been the interest in poll

Leicester Nov. 6.-John P. Ashley,
chairman Of the republican town COM
mittee. said tonight he was certain that
Charles H. Allen would be elected rep
resentative tomorrow by a good ma
jority. Prominent democrats seem to
be very confident of Eugene D. Mar
chessault's reelection tomorrow Two
bets of $50 to 500 have been placed in
Cherry Valley in favor of Marches
sault's election. Still, the republicans
anticipate a republican majority in
Spencer, with such a small majority
for the winner in Leicester that Spen-
GERS choice will win the fight
They expect the democratic rejoice
ings to be like the republican jollifica-
ton last year when eight cords of
wood were bought to help along enthu-
siasm over Mr.. Boardman's victory, and
the bonfire was never built.
