To the Editor of The ST. Johnsbury
Caledonian,
Dear Sir

l noticed IN your paper a short
time ago an article asking that the
nominees for senators in the repubh-
can party define themselves on GER
tam issues of the party.
In reply will say, that l am now
and always have been in favor of
strict economy in state expenses con-
slstent with efficiency, and am as
formerly in favor of simpliied court
procedure, and shorter sessions of
the state legislature with payment
on a saIa.y basis rather than per
diem pay, direct primary and wo-
mans sUffTag ge, and have always been
for any kind of progress inside the
republican party where to my mind
it could best be accomplished.
l also believe that none too much
can be done to help our schools and
colleges.
1 notice by the flyers sent out by
the democI ats and the progressive
parties that they claim the republican
parry to be over bu dened with too
many lawyers, and that now two more
have entered the field. If l am one of
these mentioned will say that 1 was
admitted to the Bar in 1873 but have
never practiced, but have been for
many years Town Clerk and Treasur-
er Of my town, and farmer and en-
gagged in any other legitimate and
honorable business.
Have also been hono-ed by po-
sitIons of ust in the county as well
as In my own town.
Respectfully yours
FRANK M. PAGE.

A FOURTH BALLOT
In Case of No Election on Three BaI-
lots "a PluI aIity Wins on Fourth.

In Case of No Election on Three BaI-
lots a PluI aIity Wins on Fourth.
The report has gone out that under
the law of 1912, in case no candidate
for town representative has a major
ity over all in the first, second and
third ballots, a fourth ballot is mol
necessary, but that the candidate who
first had a plurality over others shall
secretary of state, states that such is
not the law, but that the balloting
must go on until one candidate has
a pIu- ality, that the TecoI DIS of the
legislative proceeding show this to
be the fact. In case of a tie on the
fourth banot between the two lead
in candidates a fifth ballot may be
necessary.

gotiations, explained that the syndi-
cate had no connection with any of

MAY GIVE ORANGE
HIGH A NEW NAME
"Junior" Suggested Instead of
"Central"-Corner-stone TO
Be Laid January 81.

Arrangements are being completed
for laying the cornerstone of the new
Central Grammar School in the rear
of the Orange High School on
Wednesday morning, January 81, at
II o'clock, and suitable exercises will
mark the ceremonies.
There. was an informal discussion
last night by the Board of Education
and it is likely some designation
other than the term Central School
will be given the structure when it
is formally dedicated. James N.
Muir, superintendent of schools, who
has been studying a plan for a six
year grammar grade study; three
years as junior high school term and
three years in the regular high school
education, said a possibly suitable
title might be THE Junior High
School," and the board will seriously
consider this appellation.
Work on the new school was stopped
today because of the low temperature.
but Richard L. Tobin, the contractor,
expects moderating conditions will
permit advance in his big task soon.
The school when completed will be
the largest as well as the finest in
the city, and Mr.. Tobin is confident
it will be one of the most modern
school structures in New Jersey. He
has built many similar buildings in
his twenty-five years experience.
Mayor Frank ]. Murray. with the
Board of Education and Common
Council, will participate in the exer-
cises, and representatives of civic,
church and political organizations are
also expected to attend.
A chorus of school children will sing
selections. Sidney M. Colgate, presi-
dent of the Board of Education;
Frederick NJ Struck, chairman of the
building committee, and others will
also have a part in the exercises.
John n. Lindsey, president of the
Board of Police Commissioners, has
arranged to present a silver trowel to
the officials with which to lay the
stone. Hill and Stout, of New York,
architects for the structure, will be
present at the exercises.

BOSTON, Jan. thames NJ. CurIey,
Democratic congressman from the
Twelfth district and a resident of
Dorchester. was elected yesterday to
a four-year term as mayor of Boston.
His majority over Thomas L. Kenny,
of South Boston. his only opponent.
was in the neighborhood of $500
Curley made his fight in the face Of
what appeared to be overwhelming
odds, practically the entire press of
the city. most of the Democratic ward
leaders. the Republicans and the re-
formers being lined UP against him.
The cold wave caused light vote
and this aided Curley's candidacy
Curley was a member of the Boston
Common Council in 1900 and 1901.
Then he went to the Legislature for
two years and thereafter was an al
derfnan until elected to Congress in
1910. He was reelected to the Sixty
third Congress. He was born in Bos-
ton and is 80 years old. He was a
poor boy and was educated in the
grammar and evening high schools.
Curley served a sixty-day sentence
in the Charles street Jail about ten
years ago for defrauding the govern
ment by impersonating another man
at civil service examination. The
Indictment charged Curley and Bar
tholomew ]. Fahy with conspiracy to
defraud the United States in order TO
place the name of Fahy upon the
eligible list for letter carrier.
Curley, in the name of Fahy. filed
an application to the Civil Service
Board, and on December 4. 1902, took
the examination in Fahy's name.
After his conviction Curley appealed,
but the final decision was against
him.
