Mr.. StIlIman May Not Bs
Chairman Of Town Council.
Miss Shlppss Remembered
By Her Friends

At present II looks as though the newly
elected Warwick town council will not
nominate the first councilman as presi-
dent of the council. as Is usually the case.
The reason is because Mr.. Stillman, the
first councilman is a Democrat. and was
Democrat serving as president OF last
years council.
Last fall tho Republicans endorsed Mr..
Stilman thus making sure they would
eject one member OF the council any way.
Mr. Stlllman wrote n letter of accept
snce to the Republican town committee
accepting the nomination, but stated in
Il he was still Democrat and would
serve his party during the campaign. For
this reason the people of the town feel
that the council will show it's partisan
has by electing some other chairman.
IL the Republicans do throw Mr.. Still
man times will be warm at the financial
town meeting on the 10th OF this month.
