 Political chit-chat has turned to the question of who will represent Plainville in the next session of the legislature.
 Chairman H. c. Thompson of the republican town committee says that it is little early to give out official news about the nomination for rep resentative. He thinks, however, that Representative Edward T. Car ter will be ready to run again pro- Vlded no other candidates appear who are more desirous than he of coveting the honor. In the opinion of the republicans MT. Carter ren- dered a good account of himself at capitol hill in Hartford two years ago and it is expected that he will be able to win the nomination at the caucus without much trouble
 Two years ago Charles Hansen was a candidate for representative. He made quite a showing at the caucus. There are some republicans who feel that MT. Hansen will enter the con- test this fall and that he will rally considerable number to his support.
 George S. BabcocK, clerk of the board of selectmen, and a recognized candidate for the nomina tion as first selectmen has also been mentioned as candidate for representative. Sev- eral friends of First Selectman Will liam J. Johnson have said that they would like to see him sent to the legislature as reward for his work in managing town affairs during the last year.
 Among the democrats who have been mentioned as legislative timber is c. H. Newton, the new treasurer of the Osborne &, Stevenson company. Although MT. Newton has been in Plainville only two years he has at- tained popularity among. the demo- crats and his friends believe that he would make a good run at the polls.
 Merritt o. Ryder was the democrat ic nominee for representative two years ago. If he has not decided to withdraw permanently from politics there are many democrats who would be in favor of nominating him again for representative. MT. Ryder is so well known and has appeared before the voters so often that he may be expected to make a strong campaign.

 Bad Automobile Accident.
 The Winsted automobile crash which resulted in the instant death of three men was almost duplicated in this town last night when tour ing car driven by one of the Le Bau brothers in Forestville left the high way just this side of the town line and landed in a swamp. Fortunately none of tl,e five occupants of the au- .omobile was badly injured although all of them received minor bruises.
 The automobile party left Plainville ga rly in the evening and had attained ! high rate of speed by the time the machine reached the curve in the road just beyond the turnout on the Bristol line.
 A local young man who was right ,ehind the machine on his motorcycle, ,ays that the car suddenly began to skid from one side of the road to the ;ther. In less than, a jiffy it had urned partly around, bounded off the highway narrowly missing a telephone pole, and crashed through the fence. n the force of the collision the spokes ,nd rims on all the wheels were smashed and the body of the car shot l lear of the wreckage of the wheels, anding in the swamp, a drop of four eet from the road.
