| having helped along their cause by i plactng a=ticket in the local field, the Democrats will gather at the town l hall this evening to nominate a ticket 1 which in the opinion of many Repub- heans and most Progress1Ves, will be on top on eleetSn day. The action of the Progressives Friday night in placing a local ticket, so splits the Republican party that fight is al game, however, and will fight to re- tain what<they now hold.
 i Republicans, themselves, cannot fig ure how their nominees will be in the running on Oct. T. Last season they had hard going to maintain their pace, l losing three important offices, that of i tor. With the split this year against united Democracy, their chances are | slim indeed.
 | Recognizing efficiency in office the Democrats will again tender the nom nation for first selectman to Robert H. Coley. Selectman CoIey has not i only the solid backing of his own par ty but has many friends among the i opposition. This fidelity was attested when he was returned as first select man last year. As his running mate, being boosted. MT. Woods has not really announced his candidacy. but at his say the nomination will prob ably go to him. William H. Petrie, a former selectman, would again de- sire to fill the office, and his name may be presented to the caucus to-

B. T. Birge, who is leading the new ticket, was the noninee Of the Republicans for second selectman last year. When the votes were counted he was fourth among the quartet. The Progressives' choice for second on the ticket, M. H. Cooley, if elected to the office would not be a stranger <tol the position. He was a se1ectman three years ago., se- nomination by his Republican friends Hezelith Allen. one Of the nominees for constable, is at present a con- stable, being elected last year by the Republicans. If Constable Allen has really announced his faith instlle new party he'll have@.it on many @ef the others in that he has had taste of the doings in two other parties
