WANT RETURN TO
 OLD CAUCUS PLAN
 FOR NOMINATIONS
Newtown Citizens and Some Office Holders Scent Row
 Over Election.
Especial to The Farmer)

Newtown, Mar. With the. bor- ough election two months in the fu- ture, there is considerable activity among the incumbents looking to- wards Ten nomination. Worry is ap- parent on the faces of many of the hard-worked officials, whose chief efforts seem to be directed against any movement for partisan caucuses. Since the borough resumed it's cor porate powers a few years ago, only 9 citizen or non-partisan caucus has been in vogue, but the talk is rum ming strong in another direction this year and both influential Democrat and Republican boroughites are agi : tating for caucuses of both parties to name candidates to be voted for in the election next May.
 These party men claim the citizens caucus is an anarch onism, and is mainly responsible for the o1igarchy alleged to be running things. How to go about it, is what puzzles them, as no member of the town commit ties, resides in the borough, and the dissatisfied citizens are at 8 loss how to call caucuses. The beneficiarieS of the present plan are bending every effort to forestaT1 action in this di- rection by the town committees of the old parties, and thus squeIch the insurrection at the start.
 Whether the Newtown Borough Charter provides a way to register party wants in this case nobody seems to know, as the Borough clerk, Charles F. BeardsIey is away for the winter, and the auth orized printing of the municipal laws and their dis tribution to taxpayers, ordered by the annual meeting of last May, has not been done, and nobody knows when it will be done. The n-compliance of the official borough board with RH-S- dissatisfied taxpayers as dodge, and the absence of the borough clerk at this time 8, part of part of the game to side track the opposition.
 Some of the latter are growing bit ter in their denunciat1on of the tao tics of the standpatters, and have ap- preached the chairman of the Pro gressive town committee who resides within the borough limits with a view to call 9, caucus of the Progress sives if action by the other town committees is forestaIled.
