POLITICS THE SUBJECT.
Now that the summer season Is over,

tons appearance In the village Sunday
has given rise to several rumors during
the last few days Last year the Repuo-
licans did not hold their town convention
until the very last day that the law al
lowed for fling the list OF candidates to
be voted upon at election day. and then

has not acted entirely to the liking OF the
Republican machine. and II is quite Ike

ination.
The Democrats are not talking very
much. but are doing considerable think
drawn up for both town and state Off
GERS. The campaign In Apponaug prom
ises to be lively one.
