 Politics Stirring.
 The principal topic of conversa- ton about town is whether the demo- crats, under the leadership of Wood- row Wilson, will be in power for four
 nore years or whether the G. o. P. will regain it's lost laurels. There arc (. number of conventions between now and the fall and the feeling is general that Berlin should start the "political ball rolling." It has been customary to choose delegates to conventions in May Dr. R. M Gris- wold is a representative from Ken sington and he will probably be chosen to represent that district in the convention, which chooses dele gates to the national convention. A
 man must be selected from the Berlin district and it is expected a call for a caucus of the republicans will be posted in the near future

 Hence 1t will be necessary to purchase the stone. It will require about 200 tons of the material to repair the
 road and Sclcctman Gibncy will get blds from tthe Connecticut Trap Rock qCarrlcs company and the Suzi0 Crushed stone company of Mcridcn. MT. Glbncy intends to start work on l the road as soon as the frost leaves | the ground.
