Representative S. Ives Wallace is con-
fident that the Clinton bill, so called,
has an excellent chance of passing. The
visit the representatives and senators
paid to this town has affected the minds
of some or most of them favOrably.
Few of the members of either commit
tee realized the extent of the damage
Clinton suffers until they went over the
ground They were especially moved
by the threat that exists in the north
dixie. Several of the visitors expressed
the opinion that Clinton should be COM
pensated literally, and pledged their in
f1uence and their votes to that end.
Among the representatives from
whose wide experience and influence
this town expects much, is A. S. Pa
ton of Leominster Mr.. Patton is pres
dent of the Leominster and Clinton
Street Railway Company and a direct
or in the Worcester and Clinton Street
Railway Company. He has had a large
experience in the House, and has been
able to get as much for his district
as any representative the district has
had. The visitors expressed them
selves as much pleased with the kind
ness and hospitality extended to them
by Clinton people. They were also
pleased with the fairness of the citi-
zens in presenting such facts as they
had to offer in the towns behalf.
