Who will be the candidates seems to
be the burning question of the hour
wherever politics are being talked in
the city just now. On the Republican
side it is pretty generally conceded
that it will be one Of two men, the
present mayor, Hon. Martin F. Bart
lett, who has made splendid name
for himself by his able handling of the
affairs Of the city during the past
year, or Col. F. f. Boothby, three
times mayor of Portland, for many
years the general passenger agent Of
the Maine Central Railroad, and one
of the best known and best liked men
in the State Of Maine. On the Demo-
cratic side things are not as rosy.
They have number Of men as posi-
bilities. the majority Of whom say
they want nothing to do with it as
they see no chance Of being elected
this year after the splendid showing
that has been made by the Republican
administration. .a

Another element is entering into
their fight which is reported to be
causing more or less trouble. Hon.
Charles F. Johnson, United States
senator from Maine and citizen Of
Waterville, is reported to have in

considers that the fight in Waterville
should be made on the question of en-

candidate for reelection this year IT

"Whereas:
The Rev. F. L. Grant has rendered
his resignation as pastor of the Con-
gregational church of Plainville, a
position he has ably filed for the past
eleven years, and
Whereas:
We realize that none but a selfish
interest can prompt us to retain him,
when a broader field. with larger OPP

Therefore, be it resolved:
That in accepting his resignation,
we do so with sorrow and regret.
That in his great ability as a
preacher In his ministering to the
spiritual needs of the people, and In
his unfailing spirit, of good cheer, he
has given the church an impetus to
greater endeavor and a higher life.
That in his work in behalf of edu-

our midst, he has been ever Jealous,
and eminently successful.
That in parting, our k1ndest wishes
will always attend him and this

One Proved Reliable

1t is with great pleasure that I write
these lines of praise for your wonder
full kidney and bladder remedy. T
had kidney trouble so bad I became
very much alarmed. had tried
various kidney remedies I heard Of
but without relief. I was about dis
couraged of ever being helped, when,
one day l picked up a book contain
ing testimonials Of people who had
been helped and cured Of their kidney
trouble by the use Of DR.. Kiln r's
SWamp-Root, SO I decided to try it
and 1 know I owe my present good
health to the wonderful curative
power of Swamp-Root I sincerely
hope my words will be the means Of
restoring many other sufferers Of kid
ney and bladder troubles to good
health.

The following resolution was then
recommended: That the selectmen be
authorized to make temporary loans
not to exceed $4,000 to pay the eX-
Denses of the town when bills become
due as there are not sufficient funds
IT the treasury and to give the obll-
cation of the town thereof.
w H. Gibney wanted to know If
the appropriation for the state roads
was high enough as the cost of re-
pairs on the Beach Swamp road would
come to over the amount suggested.
Selectman Alling said that the roads
were now in fine shape and all the
bills had been paid up to the last
week and that the town would try
and have the state take over Farm
ington Road.
The next business before the meet
ing was the appointment of two men,
bers to the finance board for the next
three years. C. W. Stevens and Ed
ward Loiselle were the choice Of the
meeting and both consented to serve.
Selectman Alling made a report for
the board in regard to having the
cutters and curbs extended the full
length of the present concrete road
as he was authorized to do at the
last adjourned meeting. He said that
he had taken the matter up with the
| highway commissioners and they had
stated that two propositions had been
| made to the town, one being that
the town appropriate $4,000 and the
state would put in cutters, curbs and
| retaining walls the length Of the
road. The second was that for
| the appropriation of $500 the
state would put in cutters and curbs
where necessary and as far as the
| money went. If another pproprta-
| iton were made it was already too
| late to do the work this year. The
state is to extend the present concrete
! road to the Meriden town line in
the spring but it would be difficult
to include this matter in the con-
| tract A vote of thanks was extended
to the finance committee by the citi-
zens for their fine work Of the past
year.
John Moore Of Kensington asked
! why the town sign posts could not be
put in more conspicuous places as
many Of the people had become con-
fused as to the time that the select
men met to make voters this year.
After a short discussion it was de-
cided to have the residents Of the
different sections look up a suitable
place for the posts and report at the
next meeting. The town meeting was
then adjourned until the first Monday
in March when the ta.: rate is to be
fixed for the year.

elimination of Bitter Quarrel.
Ottawa Ontario, Nov. 14.-General
Sir Sam Hughes and the government
have finally broken. AS the culmina-
ton Of long continued and steadily
increasing friction between the mini
lister of militia and defense and his
cabinet colleagues over questions OF
appointments, patronage, political ex1
pediency, and joint ministerial rel
sponsibility, General Hughes yester1
day accepted Premier Borden's sug1
gestion that his resignation be ten1
dered, and a little after noon 1t was
placed in the premier's hands. Tho
writing of the resignation followed an
exchange of letters containing charges
and counter charges.
Although 1T was suspected in the
capital that the resignation was COM
ing, 1t was thought right up to the
last moment that the quarrel might
be again patched up. Finally, how
ever, Sir Sam took the plunge, wrote
the letter. and sent it by a trusted
friend and official to the prime min
ister's office. Sir Robert Borden ac~
copied it, and his first official bust
ness with the new governor, general
the Duke of Devonshire, this after
noon was to place before him ths
resignation of one Of his advisers.
