REFORMER PINkNEY GETS DENOMINATION
 IN BEDDING CAUCUS
Man Who Courageously Exposed Political Scandals Beats Op- ponent in Selectman Race

Bedding, Sept. 14,-Both parties held caucuses on Monday night for both placed good tickets in the field. The one feature of special interest pertaining to Stlae Republican caucus was the treatment which should be accorded E A Pinkney, boss crusad- CT in the work of unearthing the u11-s savory conditions existing in the party turn him down for the good he had done as some of the old leaders threatened?r To do so would bring odium upon themselves and their par-s ty and hence it was thought they would hardly dare make the attempt They did make it with Benj. B. gineers of the movement. It met with failure although commanding a con siderable degree of support, most of which came from the Georgetown sec ton where Pinkney, Banks and Hazen live.
 zalmon Read was put forward as Pinkney's opponent in the choice of a candidate for first se1ectman and the latter won out by a vote of 42 to 28. The Pinkney support came main ly from the Ridge and the Center, in the caucus represents only a small minority of the total Republican vote in that section. Banks openly cam vassed against Pfnkney among the caucus attendants and declared that the latter, if nominated. would be beaten at the polls. Beyond 8 doubt, he will lose many Republican votes.- but it is equally certain that he will have the suppont of quite a number of Democrats despite the regret they feel in thus diEerting their votes from tory candidates of their own party. The net result of the discord in the Republican ranks should be. however, to the advantage of the Democratic ticket as whole.
 The other Republican candidates for selectman is Albert NJ Sanford who D Ix1a ah %1,aG To IS did Pinkney. Against MT. Sanford there is no factiona1 ennlity unless such as may have been engendered 6y his refusal to go against the the that of last year, blundered in the as- sessership matter, naming two candi- only one. These are Henry s. Osborn and George O. Sanford, but probably Ghly the former will be placed on the ticket. J. Henry Duncan was renonl- mated for the tax collector and for the school board the nominees are E. A. Pinkney, Dr. E. H. Smith and w. H- Hazen. Sanford H. Osborn was named for auditor.
