The republican town committee of Westerly has gradually increased its authority until it has finally become the nominating committee of the town and presents the name of one candi- date only for each town office, there fore converting what formerly was the nominating caucus into one of form only It is taken for granted that the nominees. of the town committee are tho party nominees. Should others as- pire for nomination they are classed as bolters, as being against the re- publican party-the predominating one by a large majority in Westerly, where nomination spells election. This town committee is composed of fourteen members, and a majority of them, eight members, can rule, the politics of Inc town It has already reached the ntaEe in Westerly where if citizen desires nomination for political office he must stand in with the Big Eight, and the combination is known to every citizen who is active in local politics.
 The town is so strongly one-sided in politics that the town committee does not pretend to perform the usual du- ties of an ordinary town committee in regard to a political canvass of the town to see to the naturalization fea- ture or to get out the party vote on on legitimate election expenses or any of the ordinary routine of town com mfttee. So theS Westerly town com miftee is in reality nominating committee, simply that and nothing more.

References to the railroads in New England as lone great terminal yard' have been regarded in some quarters as merely technical Few could see why the New Haven, Boston & Albany and Boston Maine should receive special treatment, but a time of con- gestion forces a new point of view.

 One fruit of congestion is the trt- bute paid to other railroads of the country by the terminal railroads in the extreme northeast of the United States. In seven months ended Jan uary 31, 1916 these roads paid in freight car hire more than $2, 100, 900 compared with $1,165,0e in the cor

Legal Sensation Possible in School Superintendent Dismissal Case Health Officer to Have Samples of Milk Collected.


 There is a report in and about the borough that the removal of the su- pertendent of the Stonington Public schools, will prove far more sensa- tional than did the removal of the predecessor of the present incum- bent two years ago. It is in the re- port that the principal of the High School and prospective superintend- ent, has instituted legal proceedings against the present superintendent charging islander or criminal libel, or both. and has engaged as counsel, Abel P. Tanner, of New London. The superintendent has published over his own signature statements concerning the qualifications of the principal, which he declared he could substan- tiate by proof. If the report be true, the superintendent will have oppor- tunity to prove the statements.

 The Westerly branch Of the Indus trial Trust Company, James M. Pen dIetons manager, is administrator of of North Stonington, who in his life time was cattleman and lumberman on an extensive scale, and owned con- siderable land in his home town. The widow, Mary Wheeler. petitioned the probate court of North Stonington, for a reasonable allowance pending the settlement of the estate for the support of herself and two children. Judge Charles c. Gray gave a hear ing on the petition on Tuesday after noon. Attorney Clarence E. Roche. representing the petitioner, advocated the payment from the estate of a llb- eral sum as asked for in the petition, stating that the support was needed and that the estate was ample to meet the payments.
 The petition was opposed by Judge Herbert w. Rathbun, of Westerly, representing the administrator, on the ground that there were no visible aS- sets. He said that while the estate included much land, that 1t was of uncertain value, and that at this stage of the settlement of the estate it was difficult to tell how much would be left after a sale to meet the costs of administration and the claims that existed against the estate There are now four suits pending against the estate for claims aggregating $10,000.
