Less Than One-third Of City'S

OF These 424 Are Republicans and SIS
Democrats, While the Remainder
Are Divided Into Half Dozen

Less than one-third the voters Of this
city are eligible to vote in the party eau
cuses this year because qf their failure
to sign the party afiiliation slips and
because of the petition of five per cent
Of the voters for the use Of check lists,

their caucuses this year.
The proportion Of sigllers of the party
slip to the number Of voters Is much
smaller in Barre than in almost any
other city or town in the state There
were some voters who were inclined To
take a cynical view of the new caucus

they committed themselves. One man
signed his name and filled in the party
line with II can't tell which at this
date One, staunch and Ioyal, declared
that he belonged to P. w. Clements
party, while two others vowed that
they would vote with the best" party,
OF similar cast of mind was the criti-
cal voter who wrote that it was his in
tention to vote with the party that
have the best men up" leaving himself
as the Judge. Then there were others
who got so far as to sign their names,
but feft the party space blank.
In pursuance Of the law and the re-
quest Of 67 voters, the city clerk will
file these slips and on or before next
Friday May rs, the city council will
make out d check list from them. After
these lists are posted, the board of civil
authority will on or before May 81
appoint meeting for revising the check
list. Attorney General Fits has de-
clared, however, that the names OF those
only who have signed the party slip
can be put on the list by the board OF
civil authority. The board must. have
completed its work on or before juno

to be used in Barre.

NO OUTCRY RAISED
AGAINST THE CAR
But Douma Went Quietly About Its
Business Today, Ignoring the
Emperor's Slight.

st. Petersburg, May 2i.---It was ex-
pected that a gcnearl amnesty outcry
against the Gar would be raised today
when the douma met. because OF the
Cars refusal to receive deputation
from that body to present an answer
to the address from the throne. In
stead, however, the deputies by almost
unanimous vote, passed resolution to
proceed with the order OF the day. This
ignoring of the slight Of the Emperor
and the surrender OF the douma ON this
vital point, namely, the right Of the
people to address the Gar directly in
stead Of through the ministry Of the
court has aroused the greatest discussion
and brought great criticism upon the
deputies.
