at the recent caucus held by the latter party. According to the democrats under a new law recently passed by the legislature the party in power is allowed to nominate three men for the board of relief and three for the board of assessors if it so desired In former years the law allowed the suc- cessful party but two members on the board the third being chosen from the minority party. At the repub1i- can caucus held last week three men were nominated for each board thus giving the democrats no representa- tion unless they are fortunate enough to be successful at the polls. Many democratic voters last night claimed that they had been sighted by the republicans and that only two men should have been nominated for each board the other place to have been given to the democrats as had been done in years past.
