This evening in Manville the Democrats

indorsed by the independents OF the town
Ihis VIII complete the list Of candidates
OF both parties to be submitted 10 the yot
ers In November and In looking over this
list II can safely be said that the oppo-
nents OF Braytonism In Lincoln certainly
nave no cause to fear the result.
The candidates selected by tho Damn
Gratis and Independent voters to represent
them In the next assembly are ALI clean.

tne whoie that could not possibly be i'm

In William IL. Erskine. who has been
nominated for senator, they have a man
who Is strongly opposed TO boss rule. and
VINO IL ravorably known throughout the
state as an upright, aggressive, self-made
man lhan' he Is AT the present time the presi-
oehl ol the state League OF Veteran Fire

opposltion TO the Republican party. This

Mr.. Erskine is the superintendent OF the
Naiiey Fails company's mills at Albion
ana Is very much liked by his employees
In that town.
1t is freely predicted by those who claim
TO know that most or the Republican vot-
ers In Albion. Of which there are over 100

Democrauc and independent assembly
ticket headed by Mr.. Erskine
While there is no Lincoln party ticket
In this town this year, still there are
large number OF Republicans who place
public decency above party prejudice.
ana these men certainly will not vote for
William II. Comstock, who is known as
man whose record has shown him in
the past 70 be subservient tool Of Bray
tonlsm. The Democratic town committee
are TO be congratulated for their success
IN getting William II. Erskine TO head
their ticket. There is in Lincoln no man
more ft 10 represent the town in the SEN
ate. and he will certainly cast his vote for
X. IA. /. Goddard when the proper time
comes.
The nominee for first representative.
Alphonse Gauvin OF Manville, has had
considerable experience in the lower
house. and while there was considerable
difficulty experienced this year in getting
Mr.. Gauvin's consent 10 make the race.
on account OF the great pressure OF busi-
ness duties on him, yet he finally did con-
sent; and the Democratic voters will have
In Mr.. Gauvin very strong candidate.
He stands we'll among the best people OF
among his own people. His opponent, Jo-
seph Grenon, has served In the town
council. where his attitude on certain
questions connected with the enforcement
or law and order in Lincoln has been
strongly condemned by many citizens.
So much is this the fact that IL is al
legged that the Voters league an organi-
cation Of voters Of all parties in the town,
who are pledged 10 watch the actions OF
all town officers in this respect and at
election vote accordingly, has indorsed
TINS year all of the members OF the pres
ent town council except Mr.. Grenon.
This action, II true. would seem TO show
that Mr.. Gauvin need have no trouble in
defeating his opponent.
-. .4.,s
is William +. Goodwin. who was last year
elected 10 the assembly on a Democratic
and independent ticket.
Everybody in Lincoln knows Mr.. Good
win. His most prominent characteristics
are rugged honesty, "A love of fair play
and an unflinching determination TO be
swerved by no man from what he knows
TO be right. His adherence OF corruption
I'm politics is well known TO his neighbors.
and the town can have no man in the
lower house who will better do his duty
by his constituents.
Richard w. Dwan. who will oppose Mr..
Goodwin. is the proprietor of the Prospect
Hill pharmacy. Nothing can be said det-
rimental 20 either the ability or character
OF Mr.. Dwan He takes an active inter-
est in all the affairs OF the town and is
a popular young man. He deserves TO
have had a better chance from his Re-
publican friends than TO put him against
an opponent of the strength OF Mr.. Good
win. He probably will be defeated simply
because he is on the wrong ticket.
REPAIRS COMPLETED.
The repairs on the Front street school
on Prospect Hill have been completed by
Contractor Collinge, and the regular ses-
sions were resumed today.
special appropriation was made by
the taxpayers for this work a few weeks
ago.
Many citizens believe that measures
should be taken 10 relieve the congestion
in the Albion and Manville schools. either
by putting up new school buildings or by
additions TO the present structures. This
matter will probably receive the attention
OF the taxpayers at their next annual
meeting.
HARVEST SUPPER.
Lime Rock grange will hold a harvest
supper in Grange hall Friday evening.
In connection with the supper there will
also be a fruit and vegetable exhibition,
for which cash prizes will be offered.

Green, Mrs John s. Olney. Mrs Eugene
Knight, Mrs. Lena Harris and Miss NJ. Il.
Greene.

Gus tonight in the Lonsdale band room TO

siderable dissatisfaction is expressed
about town among the Republicans In re-
gard to the town ticket nominated last
week and nomination papers are being
circulated in the interest OF an independ-
ent ticket.
