 this morning that the local caucus will
 probably be held Friday evening. There Is a strong feeling among local
 democrats that the national and state tickets will be elected this fall and also no little optimism is shown re- garding the local offices.
 Although none of the men men toned have announced their candi- dacy for town offices, 1t has been ru- mDred about town for the past few days that Judge W. I. filling, Claude Stevens and George Carter are all in 8 receptive mood for positions on the board of selectmen. It is said that

and would fill the position acceptably to the townspeople. Ex-Senator Ste ven also has a large clientele, because of his excellent record in the senate two years ago and his sharp interest in everything pertaining to the good and welfare of the community. He is member of the board of finance, which recently cleared up that worry of the voters, the back tax question. MT Carter, too, is very popular about town, both in his personal and busi- ness relations and would proba bly poll a large number of votes. It is said his many friends are endeavoring to have him announce his candidacy.
 Still there are many citizens, who are of the opinion. that with a little persuasion, the present first selectman, William H. Gibney will run for the office for another term. He has held the position for the past thirteen years and at every election his percerta ge above his opponents grew larger. Up to the present, he has refused to ac- cede to the wishes of his friends, re- garding another term. All in all, at present it seems as though there will be keen competition in the fall cleo tions.

 Heat Closes Foundry.
 Owing to the excessive heat yester- day the E. T. Garter brass foundry had to be closed, the men simply re- fusing to continue under the com bined strain of the elements and the terrific heat of the molten metal, The foundry was again closed today for the same reason. While the heat was perhaps no greater than yesterday the humidity was much more marked, making it unbeara ble in the foundry.
 The employees at the Connecticut Trap Rock Quarries company at White Oak were also forced to quit work because of the heat, but five out of a force of 50 remaining on the job. It was impossible to obtain any relief from the sun in the quarry where Old Sol beat down pitilessly.
