 The line of march will not be a long one. as it is preliminary to the mass meeting in the opera house, where the principal speaker will be Job B. Hedges of New York.

 There are some democrats. in West. erly, and usually there is an opposing democratic ticket, and there may be one in the coming election, but the caucus has not yet been held. Even then it is a 100 to 1 shot that there crats on the ticket. Naturally, there is more effort made to get out the vote at a presidential election, and also at state elections, but the real reason for the hustle and hustle when state off, cers are elected is that the vote on the liquor license question is taken at the same time. Westerly may not have a democrat on guard in town matters, or a democrat in state office but the postmaster at Westerly is a democrat, but the office removes him from pernicious political activity.
 Narrasansett council, X. of C., started a campaign a week ago to raise s1.000 towards the $3,000,000 fund of the Knights of Columbus of the United States for the establishment and main tenance of recreation centers in mili- tary camps.
 The manufacturing concerns and merchants and the people generally have been generous in their aid of the work. Monday noon the c. B. Cottrell & Sons company made a large contri- button that boosted the fund to over 1900. The campaign closed with a whist at the Catholic club Monday night which brought the total up to $1,700, or $700 above the allotment.

The work was somewhat de- Iayed by the failure of manufacturers to deliver as rapidly as promised the necessary fittings, valves and piping. With the arrival of material the filters and helpers are working in etght-hour hifts for the 24 hours of the day. The system of steam heating is the same as used by many industrial plants where the units are widely scattered. When it was realized that the steam heating plant could not be completed before November, other artificial heat was furnished for practically all places except sleeping quarters. Under the circumstances and while the boys are being trained for service in the trenches the heat has been sufficient to meet autumn weather conditions, and ample for men in active training for war service, especially to such of us who are accustomed to sleeping with our bedroom windows open when at home"
