Ledward, representing the republican town committee, nominated Maurice w. Flynn for representative from the Second district. Palmer Chapman nominated Samuel H. Davis in opposition. It was also voted 10 take a paper ballot and that the bal loting continue until 10 o'clock.
 The iron railings used in regular elections had been installed and the balloting proceeded as at elections, the moderator and clerk officiating. Then the political fight was on in both dis tricts. by ballots in the hall, while out side many automobiles were scurrying hither and thither bringing voters to the town hall, and there was more activity in that line Thursday night than at all elections combined in Westerly for the past quarter of a cen tury. Naturally there was more or less tilting between adherents of the opposing candidates during the pro greSs of the vote, but on the whole the combined caucuses were orderly, as political caucuses go in these mod ern times.

 The republican caucus for the nor1i- nation of state senator and two repre- sentatives to the general assembly was held in the Westerly town hall Thursday night, and was the largest ever held in the town. There were practically three caucuses in one, general caucus for senator and two district caucuses for representatives: Arthur l.. Perry, secretary of the town committee, called the general caucus to order, and Eugene B. Pendleton was chosen moderator and Everett F.. Whipple clerk. Mir. Pendleton has been moderator of caucuses for many years and was never known to make a speech of acceptance until Thursday nightashe being usually content with the Stereotyped remark: "Gentlemen, l thank you for the nomination of secretary" But before calling for secretary he made quite a little speech. He thanked his fellow repu blicans for eIecting him moderator of the largest caucus ever held in Westerly, and said that while the national campaign did not seem to carry with it much inter- est, still it is demonstrated in Westerly that there is jealous interest by the people of this town, the American peo- pie, and especially the republican party.
 Samuel H. Davis nominated Albert H. Langworthy for state senator. There was no other nomination, and MT. Langworthy was unanimously nomi mated by exclamation.
 This caucus then dissolved.

The result of the caucus votes are as follows:
 First district, Maurice W. Flynn, 332, Samuel H. Davis 323; Second district, Francis G. HasweIl 293, Joseph IT. Murphy 218
 Moderator Pendleton announced the vote and declared Mir. Flynn to be the nominee of caucus. Subsequently, the moderator announced that an er- TOT had been discovered and that the actual vote was favorable to MT. Da- wis whose vote was 348 and that MT. Hymns vote was 25 less than an- nOunced. As the moderator had al ready announced he could make no contrary declaration. So MT. Flynn is the nominee and it is up to Mr Davis to make the next move.
 The several candidates and their friends made an advance canvas. urg- ing all voters to attend the caucus, hence the unusually large attendance.
