to restrain educated Fiipinos within
the limits of his sef-appointed jurisdic.
ton from communicating with the
Americans, even to afresting Encamin inc
and Herrera, two of the most Influen-
tial officials coming via San lsidro to-

submission.

Is What Grafton Wants In
Her Selectnlen.

Grafton, Jan. 31.-The republican
town committee held meeting in the
selectmen's room last evening, to Or
paign and make plans for the same
The principal question which came up
before the committee was whether a
citizens ticket would be put in the field
this year or not
In years past, the caucuses have been
composed of democrats and republicans
who voted for candidates regardless of
the political principles of such candi-
dates, and the only point taken into
consideration in selecting a man to oc-
cupy town office was personal qualifica-
ton for the duties of the office to which
1t was desired to elect him A citi-
zens' ticket will be merely the follow
ing of past years principles under a
different name.
The men whose names will be sug-
gested for candidacy to the board of
selectmen will undoubtedly be all of
the present incumbents of that body,
and there are understood to be several
North Grafton aspirants whose friends
are working against the reelection of
the present representatives from that
section. The chairman of the board,
Francis e. Huckins, has been a mem
