most as much interest as the con test Cor the town clerl0ship Carey Congdon who has held the position for many years and always elected as H democrat regardless of the republican normal majority. was defeated three wears ago by Fitch Comstock who was the republican nominee, and picked for the place by Mayor Armstrong who then had control of the local party machinery
 Since that time Mir. Congdon has made open declara lions that he is n republican and had voted that ticket for several yeors, although he sought the nomination for city treasurer from the democrats. On the other hand Mir Comstocg was formerly Classed as a democrat. for he represented his native town of Waterford in the state legis- lature as a democrat and was elected to the court of common council aa a democrat, but later he was elected Co office on the republican ticket
 Both men have filled the office of city treasurer satisfactorily and both will be candidates for nomination for the office. As far as competency and fitness goes the two men are equal and it IS ID to the caucus to decide which of the two x-demOorats is the most consistent republican, for no matter which is nominated the election is coclt-sure, for with MT. Congdon or Mr. comstoclS on the republican roll, there is no chance of any democrat
 
 There are some near party leaders who are booming City Clerk Byron A. Zones for the nomination for town clerk, not so much because they want him to have that office over some oE the other candidates but for the reason that if he gets the nomination the chances of George H. GrOut member of the school board, getting the nomination for city clerk is much improved. As soon as Mir GrOut learn ed that MT Zones was in the list Of candidates for nomination for the town cleriSship he hurried to Alderman Rogers and asked him to nominate him for the assistant city eierkahip which was resigned by Robert A. Woodwork to accept the office of sealer of weights and measures.
 MT Grout was formerly city clerk but resigned when he was elected "a member of the board Of school visitorsi but when he thought he saw chance to land the clerlsship plum he had no scruples about holding a couple of city offices at the same time Both MT. Zones and Mir Grout are com potent to hold the offices t0 which they aspire, but the play being made is likely to be called before caucus time, for it is not believed there will be scarcity of candidates for city clerk should MT. Zones land the town clerk nomination.
 Both these offices have been pranti- cally removed from politics for years as the democrats either nominated the incun bents fin their ticket or nom mated no opposing candidate. Under these conditions there ars some demo- crats who would not object to taking a nomination or two. f the ofdcs of city clerk is to be 4vanated hy tho present incumbent, ahd who are willing to buck up against MT. Grout or any other man on election day. It is all right to put the cards up in the deal, but sometimes its n case of lay down if the trick is detected and the trick ster ruled out of the game.
