 TO REVISE LISTS
Will Receive Names for Caucus
 Registration Friday Night
PLAN FOR TWO SESSIONS
No Indications Of Contests For Nom- inations-Business Mems Directors To Meet Monday-FuneraI of Mrs. Seymour-To Have Field Day Here

Paving the way for the October
 election Registrars I. P. Newell and
 A. D. Cady have issued notice that they will be in session in the club
 room of the Business and Improve
 ment association on Friday evening
 and again on August Il for the pur-
 pose of receiving names to be placed
 on the voting lists used at caucuses. i The sessions are made necessary by 1 law but the registrars do not expect l that they will prove of any great inl- | portance here and it is likely that
 their services will be required by but l few voters.
 Surface indications at this time | give strength to the belief that there
 will be no very disturbing contests at | the republican caucus and as the l democrats do not make a practice of 1 using a caucus list when they meet to select the party nominees, there
 seemingly will be no necessity for l registering this year
 Candidates for office, if any there be, are showing no haste in exhibiting themselves and unless the develop ments of the next few weeks are of an unexpected character, the caucuses are liable to be very tame affairs. The disagreements in the republican camp invaria ble center around the selection of the candidate for first se- lectmen, while of course there is an occasional contest for minor positions. This year there is nothing on the sur face to indicate that the G. O. P. $ dissatisfied with the services of Se- lectman Johnson who has been at the hn1y h0 ocf Two nd should he desire a renomination there does not appear to be any reason for believing that he will meet with any organized opposition.
 With the other offices held by re- publicans similar conditions are gen erally believed to exist. Tax Col lectOr Hemingway is certain of his usual place on the ticket. Grand Juror GWillim should have no diff culty in retaining the prosecutors job and none will argue that there is any possibility of c. W. Hird losing his office as guardian of the towns eX- chequer. Mem bers of the board of relief and the assessors as well do not appear to be in danger at this time anyway and the caucuses which will precede the October election will probably be disappOinting to those who revel in political fights There is of course a chance that the con- stables will have to furnish the eX- citement as a year is a long time for a police officer to be on the job without making himself dislked ny q few at least. Marine, David and An derson have been doing the bulk of the work of the republican constables l this year and as they appear to stand aces" with the powers that be 1 D o1xr, Jt,c should come to them without any | difficulty.
 Except for the selectmanship for 1 which they make a strong bid every | year, the democrats have to :ake minority representation in the towns official family and this year no new conditions are expected to arise. They ] are talking of again naming William C. Hart as their candidate for the selectmanship MT. Hart made a fine showing at the last October election 1 and should he be desirious of making a second try, it is likely that the democrats will give him the oppor- tunity.
 At this time, which of course is sufficiently early to permit of devel- opments of a varied sort, it would ap- pear that the license issue will again have to be used as the magnet to at tract the voters to the polls on elec- tion day.
 Directors Meeting Monday.
 Owing to the inability of President J. H. Trumbull to be with the mem bers tomorrow night it has been de- cided to postpone the meeting of the board of directors of the Business and Improvement association until next Monday evening. Mr. Trumbull is now conva1escing after an appen- dicitis siege xand it is expected that he will be able to attend the session Monday.
 There is possibility that in the near future the directors will again take up for consideration the matter of organizing a building and loan company for the purpose of turing new manufacturing enterprises into town. During the past year the as sOciation had a chance to get four promising concerns to locate in Plain vile but as the town was without a vacant building, suita ble for use, they had to let the opportunities pass.
 PlainviHe has a few citizens, who are sufficiently public spirited and at the same time well enough supplied with cash, to contribute generously towards a building fund without eX- pecting Rockefeller dividends. Others not so well up in the world of finance would probably be willing to give their mite towards such an enterprise.
