SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.--Charles
H. Wax served term in San quentin
prison. California, under the name OF
DR.. C.. H. Hudson, according to the
records Of the penitentiary disclosed
today. Three young society women
of this city remember him very well
for they made his acquaintance while
he was posing as a man OF culture
here tand permitted him to sW1ndle
them out of money.
Hudson cut wide swath in So
ciety here in 1906, after the big fire,
lived in an expensive apartment and
borrowing an auto from a physician
made a big impression upon many
fashionable young women. After
three girls had fallen VICTIMS to his
rwiles and he had taken money ana
yaluables from them, he was arrested,
but was released when it was determ-
ined because of the notortety not to
prosecute. Later at Santa Rosa he
was arrested for the same offense and
sentenced to San Quentine. Next he
appeared at Tacoma where he was
sentenced to the Wa1la Walla peni-
Tertiary on March q, 1908, for four
teen years.
The records show that the same
man was sentenced from Portland to
the Oregon penitentiary for forgery
on April 13, 1913, but escaped the

Rally to be Preceded by Red
 Fire and Street Parade
GOVERNOR HOLCOMB COMING
Election of Officers by the T. A. B. Drum CorpS-Y. M. IT. A. & B. SO- ciety tG Hold Dance November ' 1O-Other Dofngs.

Final preparations were made for the big republican rally that is to be held in Forester's hall this evening at a meeting of the republican town committee last night at the home of w. H. Webster. Without doubt the largest turnout ever seen in this town will be in readiness for the grand street parade that is to precede the rally and so far no less than thir- ty autom obiles have been promised to carry the enthusiastic members of the party.
 The line of march, which is to be led by the T. A. B. drum corps, will be from in front of the home of Colonel Jarvis to Flannery's corner where the corps will board the car for Kensington and then parade around the square, down Pennington road to the hall. The members of the drum corps are requested to meet at their hall at 7:15 from whence they will march to Upson's Corner and take the 7:30 car for Worthington Ridge
 7 In regard to the speakers very lit tie need be said about Governor Hol- comb as a glance over his record for the past two years is evidence enough in itself to assure the local repubn- cans that no matter what he says 1t will be good sound logic. Another speaker that has become well known throughout the state because of his active campaigns in the past as we'll as this fall is Congress P. Davis Oakley. The town committee feels very fattered over the fact that these two men are to speak at tonight's rally as towns of much larger popu- lation have been unable to secure them. The Italians will again have the pleasure of hearing Signore Pisam who made such a favorable impress sion at the last get-together rally. M. A. Fitzgerald will be the fourth speaker and probably some of the local members of the party will say a few words booming the G. O. P.
 While there has been a rumor that some of the party members were out side of the fold there Is very little truth in the statement as the turn outs indicate. Some have even gone so far as to express a doubt that the republican candidate for representa- tive would be elected passing their opinion on the past election for se- Iectman which was decided before Judge Futile in superior court. But some of the more prominent men of the party give this side of the matter very little thought and utter the be- lief that g. good oId-fashioned e. o. P. victory will be the order of the day. !. Indications all tend to show that the s party machine is we'll oiled and will work with that noted amoothness as

Democrats Are Confident.

] Democratic leaders today expressed confidence in the outcome of the elec- ton, at least insofar as Plainville Is l concerned They predicted that the supposedly overwhelming majority held by the republicans will be over come and that the town will return c plurality for Wilson and possibly some of the other candidates They report considerable announcement from various sources and claim that they have received assurance from enough republicans of their intention to vote for tho reelection of the pres ident to warrant the claim that the
 town will decide against a change in the national administration. They also expect that Augustine Lonergan, can- Gidate for congress, and James Cray, running for state senator from the fifth district, will get a major share of the votes.
 The contest for representative be- tween A. D. Cady and w. J. Simpson is expected to be close, with odds naturally favoring the latter. Both men have many friends who will cast their votes for them without consid- ering party affiliations. MT. Simpsons frank admission of his dissatisfaction with the attacks made on the presi- dent made by Hughes and Roosevelt has done him no harm with G. O. F. voters, who, although they remain republicans, intend to vote for VII son, and they are expected to renem- Der him when they go to the ma chine
 The failure of the republican town committee to make any move towards creating local enthusiasm either for the state or national ticket, not to r1ention their candidate for represen- tative, has caused some talk in the town. The party spellbinders have already visited pra actically every town in the state but for some reason Plain vile thus far seems to have been over looked. The leaders either figure that republicanism has the town in it's grasp or discount the merits of rallies in connection with their campaign. If they are doing any work, it is cer tainly of a quiet character and has

DEMONSTRATORS ARE NAMED

{ MintOn A. Norton, former chairman of the democratic town committee,
 has been selected for moderator at
 the election next Tuesday, followers of Wilson having the preference in the naming of this official because of the fact that the republicans made the choice at the last meeting MT. Nor
 ton will be the first moderator at an election where machines are used and owing to the elimination of com plications in the count resulting from incorrect markings on the Australian hallot it is expected that his work will be comparatively easy
 Final preparations for Plainville's s bart in the selection of national and state officials are now being made by the town officers. John E. Lamb and Joseph N McKernan, who were ap- pointed by the selectmen to act as custodians, have finished their duties with the exception of locking the machine and delivering the keys to the moderator and instructions re- garding the manner of operating the apparatus will now be given by Albert Sturgeon, representing the democrats, and Roland Hoerle, a selection from the republicans. The machines have heen explained to them by the GUS todians and they will now in turn dem onstrate them for the benefit of the voters in general.
 They have arranged to be in the court room in the town building, where the machines are kept, on Thursday and Friday from a. m. to 1 D. m. and from o'clock in the afternoon until in the evening. They will also give a demonstration Satur- day morning and afternoon and in the evening as well. if investigation shows that the law permits.
 The machines will not be open for public inspection either on Sunday or Monday, the law providing that they must be sealed by the custodians two days before the key is delivered to the In the three days it is figured all the voters will have an op- pOrtunity to receive instructions. Those who are In doubt on election day as to how to operate the appa- ratus will be advised through the use of dummy machines, which have been furnished by the manufacturers.
 Officers of election besides those already mentioned are to be two tend
