 Stevens for Senator?
 Will the next senator from the l F1fth district come from this town ?" 1 Is the question agitating many of the Cltlzens these days. The term of ] Maftln Pearson of Bristol expires and u IS felt that Berlin may be the home or the next senator. Rumor has 1t 1 tEat the contest will lie between E. ] Rogers of Southington and ex-Senator l Claude w. Stevens of Kensington. MT. Rogers and MT. Pearson were can l dldates, at the previous election and 1 the Bristol man won. Four years ago MT. Stevens also bested MT. Rogers and many of the formers friends feel 1 ne can repeat. MT. Stevens was a member of the 1913 legislature and c1d excellent work. His many friends nave asked him, it is said, to run for the position but he hasjas yet givcn no oennlte answer. Should MT. stevens be elected and indications polht that way at present, it is safe to say the district as well as the town
 Will be excellently represented.
