viii Be Nominated at Democratic
Senatorial Convention in Spen-
Ger Saturday as Opponent of
George K. Tufts
HAS LITTLE CHANCE
OF BEING ELECTED
District is NominaIIy Republican
and Although Love is Popular
in Webster the Odds Against
Him Are Too Great for Him to
Overcome it is Thought

Webster, Oct g. - Joseph P. Love,
brother of Selectman John j. Love OF
this town, will be nominated at the Dem
ocratic senatorial convention in Spencer,
Saturday, as the partys candidate for
senator in the fourth senatorial district
1t is understood his nomination will be
made unanimous AS far as Is known
there are no other candidates in the field.
He stands without opposition for the
nomination. Mr.. Love is without doubt
one of the hardest workers in the Demo-
cratic party. He has been elected 10 the
General Court for the past three years as
representative, although this district is
figured in the Republican column. 1t was
through his untiring efforts that he has
landed the plums for three consecutive
years, This district is estimated by con-
sentative Democrats to be 1900 strong for
the Republican party. Last year it went
about 1000 strong. Even the strongest
member of the Democratic party in this
district would have to perform almost
wonders to overcome that majority.
With the exception of Webster, Charl-
ton Dudley Oxford and Southbridge,
which will undoubtedly poll a good vote
for Love, a majority of the towns in the
district are Republican by a safe ma
jority. Mr.. Tufts the Republican nom
inee, secured the nomination largely
=
Mr.. Bill visited all the towns in the dis
trict and advocated Tufts candidacy.
The weeks mission for women In Sa-
cred Heart Church closed Sunday after

Thomas Sanders of Lynn was Wis
itor in town over Sunday. He will pitch
for Webster Thursday against the Boston
Nationals.
The only excitement that disturbed
the quiet of Sunday was rather sensa-
tional stop of a runaway horse on Main
Street about $50 o'clock in the afternoon.
Those who accomplished the daring feat
were Patrick f. Whalen and John Ryan.
AS the horse dashed up the street Whalen
and Ryan rushed out in front of the horse.
Ryan made leap to catch the bride, but
the animal evaded him and threw his
heels at him. Whalen succeeded in
catching the dangling reins and stopping
the horse.

Rev Andrew Campbell, pastor of the

ton says Webster is badly in need of q
new high school building. He says he
attended the teachers institute in the
High School building, and the largest
room was used, and that it was over
crowded. and in many instances two were
seated in one seat while many Others
were obliged to stand Several times the
speaker was interrupted by the bringing
in of extra chairs. Many were unable t.
get into the room. The ventilation was
poor in fact so poor that one lady faint
ed and others were obliged to leave the
room.
