 W00DMONT ELECTION Nominated for Warden at Caucus by a Unani-
 nous Vote. NO PEANUT POLITICS Will Not Run for Chief Burgess on Dr. Anderson's
 Ticket.

Willis H. Upson was interviewed yes terday by Journal and Courier re- porter regarding his nomination for warden of that borough and the issues at stake in the coming Woodmont cleo ticn. MT, Upson was asked as to his position in the controversy which is now raging in Woodmonr and which is exciting much interest.
 MT. Upson resides in Kensington and has been for the last four years a summer resident of Woodmont, and a cottage owner there and for two years has been on the borough board. He has been treasurer of the Berlin Savings bank, Kensington, for eighteen years, and for seventeen years conducted a general store in Kensington, selling out in 1906. Mir, Upson represented Berlin in the state legislature in 19O4-5 and has held various town offices.
 MT. Upson when interviewed said: During the last two years Rev. pr. Anderson has been a warden of Wood mont and for two years I have been chairman of the nominating ,caucuses, and have been favorable to the rever- end gentleman.
 "This year friends came to me and said that Dr, Anderson could not be reelected and urged me to take the nomination for warden. I refused to give my consent until had conferred with Dr. Anderson. had long talk with the doctor, telling him that as a candidate I would not stand for the nomination against him. It became apparent as time went on that he could not be renominated and after repeated interviews with those who wished to push me to the front I consented to run if the nomination came to me in unanimous form. The duly warned caucus was held, Dr. Anderson himself presiding. On motion committee was appointed by the chair to bring in a ticket for the nomination. The result of this committees report was my own nomination or recommendation for the nomination by the committee as their candidate for warden and at the gen. eral caucus their recommendation was adopted unanimously, the doctors name not being mentioned. 1 was en- tirely ignored by the doctor at the meeting and have been subsequently,, and now new ticket is to be put out headed by Dr. Anderson for warden, and with my name appearing for sem for burgess--the first on the ticket for burgesses." MT. Upson further says:
 q will not stand for this ticket un- der any consideration. Now the ques- tion is where is the peanut politics re- ferred to in recent issue of New Haven paper Was not my nomination fair and above board, or, as MT. Roose~ welt says, "a square deal" Now, would say that I hold pr. Anderson in the highest esteem, and regret exceed ingly that conditions make it necessa- ry to appear in print In the matter, or to come in any way in collision with him; and I feel that the doctor Is be- ing imposed upon by some of his so- called friends and unnecessarily brought into wrong light in this mat ter"
 The election takes place next Satur- day, the polls being open from 2 to [ p. m, Usually less than fifty votes are boiled out of the 120 names on the reg istry list, but at this election no doubt 1 there will be Il big turn out.
