 It was all politics last evening about town and the objective point of a good many voters was the towp hall. Botn the democrats and republicans held caucuses in the town hall building, one upstairs and the other on the first floor.
 The republican caucus was well al tended. E. W. Wheeler presided as chairman and John Scott was elected clerk. Nominations for selectmen were made as follows: E. B. LOCK wood and F. o. Peck. first and second selectmen respectively; town, clerk, town treasurer and treasurer of the town deposit fund, B. H. Mattoon; registrar of voters. w. H. Barlow; school visitor, Dr E. K. Loveland; tax collector, Otto Roeske; assessor, Albert Blakeslee, and board of relief, William H. Smith and Howard Hickox. James G. Skilton and Henry G. Scott were among those nominated for grand Jur- ors and Thomas Shields and A. Mat toon constables. This ticket appears to be a strong one and the republicans express themselves as being well sat isfied.
 The attendance at the democratic caucus was not so large, but was an increase over the attendance at the last caucus held. Louis Heminway was elected chairman and D. F. Han. non clerk. Harry Heminway received the nomination for town clerk, town treasurer and treasurer of the town deposit fund D. F. Harmon was elected registrar of voters and the Rev H. N. Cunningham. school visitor. George Pritchard was nominated as tax collector. ". G. French and Louis Beardsley of Oakville received the nominations for board of relief and Wallace H. Atwood, assessor.
 The nominations for selectnien were interesting and some mystery sur rounded the same on account of the presence there of a number of voters from Oakville Edward McGowan re- ceived the nomination for first select man and Charles Missell for that of second selectman. The result had previously been anticipated by sever al. Proceedings were as smooth as could be expected and harmonious.
 When this paper appears again on the streets of Watertown, the new Se- lectmen and town ticket will practi- cally be elected. Monday is the day of election and it is thought that there will be a large vote as the license ques- ton will be voted on again. The party in favor of this question is said to be much stronger this year than it is cred tted to be. In any event. these peo- pie are working hard for license and were out this morning working for it. The arguments that have been pre- sented are varied and numerous. It is understood that two different resi- dents are the principal petitioners for license, Mrs McCleery and another party on the east side. It has been given out that the east side will go strongly for license. The different clergymen are still keeping up the fight against license and in several of the churches tomorrow something will be said in reference to this important sub- ject.
