 Practice Of Riding on Walks (. 0. P. HERE IS SATISFIED

Vu VT l1I1VL 1O Un 11U1 1uO Notice Posted In Various Places-Re- publicans Believe Convention Picked A Winner-Expect Interesting Ses- sion-DaIy-C Conlon Wedding-Briefs 1 Numerous complaints against the practice of riding bicycles on the side 1 walks made to the board of select men have caused the members to is- sue an edict iH which prosecution of the viOlatOrs of the law in this mat ter is threatened. The board has posted signs in conspicuous places about town, advising the residents of the statute provisions regarding the use of sidewalks by bicycles and, if arrests are made, ignorance will not serve as an excuse, the officials, hav- ing done everything possible to- have the warning generally known.
 The rights of pedestrians on the sidewalks som etimes seem to be questioned by cyclists and as con- sequence people are not only annoyed but their safety is sometimes jeopar- dized. The constables have heard many kicks and they have person. ally warned many of the violators of the law. The officials have had their patience taxed by some who have re- peatedly ignored the warning but be- fore bringing any of the violators into court they decided to post signs ad- vising the cyclists of their plans.
 The law provides a fine of not more SEQ vi of To unless more attention is paid to it the court will be asked to make an ex- ample of some of those who seem ingly pay attention only to rules of their own making.
 c. O. P. Here Satisfied.
 Leaders of the G. O. P, in Plain vile today expressed themselves as being pleased with the action of the national convention in nominating Charles B. Hughes for the presidency and all ventured the opinion that the party will be successful in the fall. The action of Roosevelt in desertfng the progressives was big news to them and in discussing the political situa- tion today their faces were wreathed in smiles.
 A. H. Conde11, recognized as the head of the party in Plainville, was favorable to the nomination of Gen. era1 Wood as a compromise candi- date but he is we'll satisfied with the results of the convention. He has long been an admirer of Hughes and he predicts that he will make a satis- factory campaign. With some of the other heads of the party, MT. Condell believes it possible that Roosevelt will take off his coat to work for the re- publican nominee before election.
 Wretched Streets
 Last weeks rains did not serve to improve the condition of many of the streets here and today horses actually widowed in the mud which is deep even on the maca dam highways.
 West Main street Is in a particular 1y Wretched state and rather than wait for action by the highway commits siOner, who has charge of this thor Oughfare Selectman Johnson had men at work this morning trying to inn prove it. Mud scrapers were pressed into service and by noon the surface made more presentable appear ance.
 The need of a top dressing for the West Main street highway which has been apparent for some time, was em- phasized since the storm and it Is likely that unless the highway com- missioner makes an effort to get It in shape of his own violition, the selectmen will invite him to look 1t over in the hope that he will recognize the necessity of spending some m oney on it.
