Up to tins week politics had not been
exciting much interest in town. but with
tour men now after the Republican nomi-
nation Tor representative and two after
the Democratic the voters have BEGUN
to realize that the day of the urinary
tuesday, Sept. u, is approaching.
The vote on the Republican candidates

Former Postmaster ] II Blakely said
last night that the Republican town
committee. of which he is a member
would not enter into the contest previous
to the primaries, but after the nomination
had been won the committee would bc
active in support of the winner. He said
he also thinks the three losers will bc
Just as loyal to the man who wins.
1t may he suspected with some iustifi-
cation that when Mr. Byrne announced
hls candidacy for the Democratic nomina.
tlon Thursday he surprised the ma
chime, with which he is not on friendly
terms, to say the least. Tt had been
thought that the Democrats would not
enter the primaries, but would hold 4
meeting later on and select a candidate
With but one candidate in the field he
would have won the nomination and
would have been designated as Demo
cratic on the official ballot in November.
That would not have pleased certain mem
bers and the leaders of the Democratic
party in Bellows Falls
DR.. George, who is also justice, was
chosen to go against Mr. Byrne and his
petitions began to circulate yesterday.
Dr. George and Mr. Bvrne were both can
dldates for the postmastership in Bellows
Falls, which was eventually won by d II
I ray, who at that time was chairman OF
the Democratic town committee.

Railroads Presidents Sub
NIT a Proposal InvOIv-
ing Arbitration
BROTHERHOOD MEN
ARE STILL HOSTILE
But They Are Said to Favor Taking
the Railroads Proposal Under Ad-
v1sement and Continuing Negotia-
tions Next Week.

WASHINGTON, August ga crisis
in the negotiations looking to the avoid.
ance of a nationwide railway strike ap-
peared imminent today when a counter
proposal involving arbitration was pre-
pared by the railroad presidents for final
submission to President Wilson.
On the acceptability of this proposal
| by the railway brotherhoods committee
of $40 men depend largely whether the
President S personal efforts to mediate
shall fail.
Heretofore the brotherhood leaders
have stood firmly against any plan to
arbitrate their demands for the eight
hour day as the basis in determining
wages.
The railway executives met early to-
day to perfect a draft of their proposal
and were expected to send it immedi-
ately to President Wilson, who had an
engagement with the brotherhood lead
ers later.
The railroad presidents contend for
arbitration on the ground that the eight
hour day sought by the brotherhoods is
actually question of wages rather
than of working hours and consequently
Is properly subject to arbitration.
Some members of the brotherhood
COMMITTEES, although still hostile to arbi-
trating the eight-hour demand. were
said to favor taking the railroads pro
posal under advisement and continuing
negotiations next week.
President Wilson suddenly left the
W hIte House today with the intention il
was understood, of going to the capitol in
connection with the threatened railroad
strike
oihclals refused to tell the Presidents
purpose. Among brotherhood officials this
afternoon it was declared that only tho
unqualified concession by the railroads of
the S-hour day or action of congress- talk
ing over the railway for government oper-
alton could prevent the threatened strike
Some of the railway executives saw thar
proposition is positively their last. as some
.of the mems leaders stand firmly against
arbitration. Others on both sides have
hopes that out OF it will come further ne
.gotlation delaying strike and possibly
averting it.
President Wilson regards the situation
as serious, but mas not given up hope of
settlement. He will continue to use every
effort TO bring both sides together. See
rotary Lane, formerly member of the
interstate commerce commission has kent
IN close touch with the negotiations and
conferred today with the President. No

shortly after noon until ? O'Clock.
! Meanwhile the Presidents of the four
brotherhoods remained at their hotel
awaiting summons from the White
House. They were without KNOWLEDGE Of
