 The Democratic caucus will meet to-
 morrow evening in the town hall, and everyone expects that MT. Fox. the present efficient and popular First Se- lectman, will be renominated. He has
 made a painstaking and careful off1c- | ial, and being a gentleman of leisure who owns an automobile, is so situat- | ed he can devote the whole of his time | to the towns business if need be. But l few gentlemen in town, willing to ac- cept the office, can do this. Besides MT. Fox resides close by the post of l flee and can be found without incon- venience by those who wish to consult | him Oh matters pertaining to the gov | ernment of the town. Under these ] circumstances, having given satisfac. l ton for the past year, the Democrats cannot find a stronger name to place at the head of their ticket.
