 democratic party conceded the cleo tion of Willard T.. filling as first se- lectman. MT. Moore's statement brought forth burst of applause from the members. of the republican party who considered that the move IOf the democratic party was ons of ] the squarest things ever done by 1 either party in the towns politics. This move by the democratic party shows that they are in the game not for the benefit of the party but for the good of the town and that any move the party can make for the betterment of local conditions will be done.

 Colonel Jarvis said that he consid- cred that the democrats had done pretty square thing and that it was appreciated by the members of the republican party. There is too much politics and quarrelling going on among the members of the two par ties and they should all get together and. work to get the town out of debt he said. He didn't think that the democrats would lose anything by giving a square deal of that sort.
 The votes were counted at the polls as they were seen stated extSenator c. W. Stevens and he voiced the sem tfments of Colonel Jarvis in regard to the move of the democrats. He con- sidered that the citizens were on the track of many needed improvements and that all were going to do their best to see that these were had.
 Give every man his just due was the way George Sullivan of the dem- ocrat party put the move of his party. He considered that their party can didate had won the election and that was the reason for the fight that fol- lowed. When we are licked we are licked he stated and the best thing to be done under the conditions was to so ahead and concede the election of MT. filling. He knew that MT. Alhng would make good selectman and would work for the good of the town.
 All that MT. filling had to say was that he thanked them for. the posi- ton and he would try and serve the whole town and not a part of the town.
 IL was several weeks ago that the supreme court handed down it's de- c1sion declaring the vote tie at 182 each, and also ordered the superior court to reverse the decision given in iavor or N. l.. Beckley, democratic candidate. The contest has been full or thrills since election day when the moderator declared MT. Alling to be elected first selectman and the demo- crats at once took the matter to the superior court when the decision was given to MT. 'Beckley.
 1t was not until the decision of the supreme court was given out that the democrats considered they were in. a losing fight and came to the conclp- sion that they would work for the benefit of the town and concede the election of Mir. filling.
