being put on by Webster politicians

until the season closes. There will be a
good deal of work put in from now until
the annual fall election for the offices
that place local men in business, but the
strife that is absorbing all attention
now is the race for lieutenant governor
between Curtis Guild, Jr., and the Hon.
John L. Bates, speaker of the house of
representatives. in Boston.
The Webster correspondent of The
Spy has made a canvass which shows
that the majority of voters in this Sec
ton are in favor of Mr.. Guild. The local
end is being pushed for Mr.. Guild by
the head of the republican party here.
They are Postmaster William 1. Mar
BILE, Deputy Sheriff Maurice P. Glare
and Elmoine d. Clemans.
