FOR WOMAN CANDIDATE
Independent Party Making Every Ef- fort to Get Miss Emma F. Filling on School Board.

The activity of the friends and supporters of Miss Emma F. Filling, named by the independent organiza- ton as a candidate for election to the Killingly town school committee, has become a special feature of the town campaign preceding the annual town election; in fact, it overshad- ows many other features of the an- nua1 spirited prediction contests.
 house to house canvass has achieved the intended aim of inter- esting a considerable number of wom- en in the proposition that women should be represented by members of their sex on the town school com mittee and resulted in a large sheaf of applications for registration as voters being handed to the registrars Thursday, the last day for registra- ton before the election on the first Monday in October. To the strength at the polls of the women heretofore registered and qualified to vote and who, in many instances, will support Miss Filling, must be added the list of women who have registered for the special purpose of supporting her candidacy-a formidable group as voters-and the men who are openly and aVowedly in favor of her cleo ton and still other men who have made no declaration of intention. but will vote to give the women repre- sentation in special way. The can VasS in the interest Of Miss Filling will continue with unabated vigor un- til the polls close.
 Can Miss Filling win? This is the question that has the political sharps figuring. That those who figure may have something upon which to base their efforts the following is presented
 Last year. in a three -cornered con- test between the republicans, demo- erats and progressives the selectmen elected received the following support: L. E: Young, progressive. 4ss; John A. Gilbert, republican, APO; Alcott D.. sayles, democrat, 407. For registrar. D. Fred Kenworthy, republican, was elected with 400 votes. For auditor, F. w. Bennett, republican, won with 425. James N. Tucker, republican, was elected a member of the board of relief with 414 votes, ". I. Bull lard, republican, with 37S
 Rev. .. H. Barber. republican, was elected member Of the town school committee with 429 votes, J. W. Gal lup, democrat, was elected as a school committee member. with 34S votes and Damase Boulais, republican with 371 votes. For registrar James R. Walsh received s54 votes and was
Norwich bulletin., 1916-09-15

elected, as a democrat; A. V. Wood with 33S votes.
 From these figures it would appear that the average strength of the re- publican caididates last year was slightly over 400 votes, the democra- tic candidates strength around $50. The strength of the republican party more as it may be expected to be shown this year is indicated by last years vote for Frank T. Preston, named by the progressives. as well as the republicans, for town clerk and treasurer, MT. Preston received 731 votes.
 From these figures, the forecasters take it, Miss Filling must receive around 400 votes to win, perhaps 450, and even then, if elected. she would displace a democratic candidate, not one of the republicans. Some of Miss Filings friends are claiming over 500 votes for her, a figure that the demo- cratic candidates would have exceed ing difficulty in commanding for their support, because the party registra- ton here does not approach that to- tai.
 Should Miss Filling win over a democrat, the members of the mil nority party here will see in 1t the irony of fate, for the contest now on for election was instituted as an in dependent movement after the repub- lican caucus had decided she was not eligible for nomination and so went on record. There isn't anything to in- dicate that the democratic caucus but the women did not seek nomira- tion on that party's ticket, nor are they registered upon it's caucus list Up, to Thursday.

TRADE SCHOOL BUILDING
 SOON TO BE OCCUPIED.
About $1o,ooo Worth of New Textile
 Machinery Ready to Be Installed.

The new State Trade School build ing is being made ready for occupan- CY. The structure is practically com pleted and trade school students have well advanced the work of hanging shafting and doing other work that must precede the installation of the machinery.

 In equipping the new building the trade school students nave their work cut out for them. There is stored here approximately $10,000 worth of new textile machinery.

All of the new machinery will be set up 1ld made ready for operation by the schools students, they also to have charge of the removing of the machinery in use in the present school an dof the work of resetting it in the new building.
 The new textile equipment includes pickers, carders, slubbers. frames and looms, a combination of machines that will permit of taking raw cot ton from the bale and putting it
 
 producing the finished fabric. The dyeing plant, something not included in the original plans for equipment, will include a vat. dyeing outfit, dryer, oven, experimental test bath. etc.
 In the new school building the car pentry and machinery departments will occupy the first floor. The en- tire second floor and a part of the third floor space will be given over to the textile department. On the third floor also will be located the electric al department, the drafting room and two class rooms.

Hot Fight Expected in Coming Eiec- tTon-Vote to be Taken on License Mystic Man Buys Thompson Place Cabbage Seed for Jersey.

Local democrats have placed Ray mond J. Jodoin on their tickets as first selectman and the republicans have named William c. Smith and local people look forward to a closely con- tested election The democrats are confident that the flag of democracy which has waved OCT the town of Sprague for the past 15 years with the exception of 1914 when the republicans were the ruling faction, will continue to be famed by the democratic breezes.
 The republicans, however, believe that the G. o. P. banner will float in triumph on election night and will be given hearty greeting by the repub- lican contingent. Both parties are planning strong campaign and Sprague citizens expect to see one of the hardest fought political battles in a number of years
 The license question also will be vot- ed upon. The license supporters have canvassed the town and sufficient names have been secured to take ac- ton on the question. Sprague for the past twenty years has been a licensed town, but the political tide turned at the election in 1915 when the prohibi- tionists carried the day by a majority of three votes.

FIRE LOSS $500.
Barn Owned by Charles A. Nelson Burned-Two Horses, Hay, Wagon Etc. Destroyed.

A double alarm from box 56 at the corner of Summit and Jackson streets at 9:30 Thursday night brought out the entire fire department and several hundred people. The fire was in the barn owned by Charles A. Nelson and located in the rear of his home, No. 1 Bolivia street. Two horses, a lot of hay, some wagons, tools and the barn
 were destroyed. Mir. Nelson placed his loss at about $500 with about $500 insurance. The cause of the fire is unknown. Mr. Nelson said that he came out of his home to go to his barn to feed his two horses and he found the barn to be completely in flames. He had not been there for some time during the day and was completely at a loss to understand how the fire started. He felt much put out over the fire, because the two horses which were burned to death, he used in his business of peddling kerosine oil.
 His oil wagon was not in the barn at the time of the fire. The Willimantic reaching the scene of the fire, getting there in few minutes after the alarm, although the place of the fire was nearly mile from most of the farm houses When the fire depart ment arrived on the scene, indications were that the home was serio Isly threatened.

 men were stationed on the roof with hose to put out any blaze which might start.
 The work of the fire department was most efficient and the quick effective manner in which the various con- | panies reached the site of the fire no doubt saved the Nelson home from 1 being destroyed. There were many words of commendation heard relative
 to the quickness displayed by the de- partment in reaching the location of the fire
