 May Have Clear Field.
 With the republican caucus but a week away, there remains but one candidate in the field for representa- tive and the opinion is now held in some quarters that William J. Simp- son will be made the partys nominee without opposition. After Mr. Simp- sons candidacy was announced there was talk for a few days concerning the probable entry of another aspir- ant for a seat in the legislature, but said aspirant has not as yet made an appearance.
 Friends of E. T. Carter have dis cussed the possibilities of his renomi- nation but it is understood that he las assured the Simpson supporters that he will not seek the place. He has been quoted as saying that having served two terms as representative he ls Willing to step out in favor of some one else. MT. Carter is believed to have his eyes on the senatorial nomi- nation two years hence and it is prob able that in 1918 he will be launched as Plainville's candidate for the hunor.
 MT. Simpson has always | been a good vote getter and if the nomina- tion is given him there is strong like nhoOd that he will be elected, the large republican majority in the town usually resulting in the election of the G. o. P. candidate for the position to which he aspires.

 Meet Different Nights.
 At the meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Plainville Young Mems club held last evening it was decided to have the members divided into two classes, junior and senior, and to have T youngsters on Wednesdays and Satur- days and the seniors on Mondays and Fridays. Members will be admitted to the senior division, providing they contribute fifty cents month as dues while the younger boys will be charged but twenty-five cents.
 Heretofore both classes have been meeting four times a week, the jun 1ors early in the evening, the seniors following. The arrangement has proven unsatisfactory, particularly be- cause of the fact that the boys are kept away from home later than per- haps they should be.
