SPECIAL to The Spy.
Wooster, Dec. 13.-Although it is yet
some time before the annual spring
election there is already a good deal of
talk as to who will be the candidates
for the board of selectmen. John j.
Love retires this spring from the board.
He has been serving a three years
term for the Democratic party. This
year a new term of office goes into eff
feet The three-year term is dropped,
and henceforth, the town fathers will
be elected to serve only one year.
Next year two members go out and the
following year three members will be
elected for one year each. Maurice +.
Glare was the first man to be elected
for a three years term and he was also
the last, as with his election last spring
the three years term became extinct
The Democrats will probably nomi-
nate Mr. Love as the candidate of their
party. The Republicans will probably
put up Frank Hartley, superintendent
of the East Webster Cambria Mills.
who ran against Mr. Glare last spring
on nomination papers. Mr.. Hartley will
not say at present whether he will al
low the use of his name as a candi-
date. There is, however, a strong SEN
timent in his favor Running on nom
ination papers last spring he came
within eight votes of being elected. Mr..
and Mrs. Hartley have just returned
from trip South, taken expressly for
Mr.. Hartley's benefit. He does not feel
at the present time in the best physi-
cal condition, but is gradually improv-
ing and bv the time of the election
will. no doubt. be fully restored in
health. If Messrs. Love and Hartley
consent to allow the use of their
names the fight will be a hard and Sc
we're one. as each man is strong. Mr..
Love had had considerable experience
in the game of politics. while last spring
was Mr.. Hartley's first attempt in the
battle of ballots.
