 The republican town committee of Westerly, which takes unto itself the selection of candidates for political of- fees, subject of course to ratification by party caucus, has announced that tlie committee will recommend for re- nomination as members of the general assembly Joseph T. Murphy from the First and Albert H. Langworthy from the Second district. These gentlemen have. served as representatives for sev- eral terms and the committee makes advance declaration that there will be no opposition in caucus.
 The other member of the Westerly delegation is Senator Louis W. Arnold who has represented Westerly in the upper house of the general assembly longer than have the two house repre- sentatives combined. He has had such long service that he has become an influential member of the senate and had served his town and state well Senator Arnold is a candidate for re- nomination, which carries with it re- election in Westerly. The town com mittee will not recommend a nominee for the senatorship, but will grant all power of that nomination to the re- publicans in caucus assembled next Thursday. This is taken as indicatio- that the committee hopes for a con- test in the nomination for senator and will probably trot out. some dark horse from the political paddock to enter the race for the nomination.
 The dark horse idea would be oo- jectionable to MT. Langworthy, whom the committee. recommends for renomi. nation as representative and if there is any chance of any man succeeding Senator Arnold. he wants to be thai man. So if there is to be a contest the contestants will be Louis W. Arnold and Albert H. Iangworthy, with the chances in favor of MT. Arnold as win.
