position on the matter, but all have re- fused to discuss the question. How ever, many voters are anxious to know if they are in a receptive mood.
 This morning Francis Deming was interviewed on the rumor that his friends were working for him as the next representative and he said: "I have been a resident of the town all my life and have tried to work al ways for the best interests of the community If I can have the nomi- nation without any personal effort to secure it, I will be glad to represent the town in the next legislature but l absolutely refuse to enter into com petition for the honor. My duties at the Berlin Savings bank keep me busy as they are always increasing"
 Regarding the mention of his name First Se1ectman Gibney was very re- ticent, while Colonel Jarvis could not be interviewed as he is out of town. The consensus of opinion about town is that either of the three would make all ideal representative from the town and if there should be a caucus it would probably be decided by a very close vote. All have served the town in various capacities and have shown a desire to benefit the com- munity at all times. Berlin has sent excellent men to the legislature the past three terms in the persons of Claude Stevens, William H. Webster and Dr. R. M Griswold and it is felt that either of the three mentioned would prove an able successor to pr. Griswold, who is the present incum- bent.

Members of the porty are discussing the next candidate for representative and from remarks heard about town the choice seems to lie between l.. A. Westcott and John T. Molumphy.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
DAVIS THEATRE.
Four Shove Today-Three Big Keith
 Acts and Triangle Photo Plays.

What has been pronounced by ev-- eryone as the finest vaudeville and photo play show ever seen here, is the attraction at this popular theatre today. Both the vaudeville and pie lures are of the highest standard and nifty of seeing the show. In the vau- deville the headline attraction is Jones and Sylvester, a clever team of com- edians who present singing and talk ing act called Idano. This act has been the talk of the town the past two days and has scored a big hit at every performance. Another headline attraction is Lynch and Teller, the club maniacs. who have a club jug gling speciality the like of which has never been seen around here. This Is a regular big time act and comes here direct from Keith's theatre, Boston, where they were the hit of the show. The third act is Contino. the origin al upside down dancer. This is a novel speciality and violin selections are mixed with some very clever dane ing.
 For those who like the best in pho- to plays the feature today will have a strong appeal it is called The Price of Power, featuring Orrin Johnson, and produced by the master director, D. W. Griffith. It is a story of cap ital and labor and has many big scenes of life in the cotton mills, and also shows big strike riot with the detail carried out as only a Griffith production can carry out big things. The Keystone comedy is He Did And He Didn't, two reel tickler. featuring the two popular stars, Fatty Arbuckle and Mabel Normand.
 Don't forget there are four shows today and special music by the Davis enlarged orchestra.
