 Red Cross workers are continuing their canvass of the city for member ships and. are meeting with success. It was stated on Thursday that the canvass was progressing Satisfactorily. 1 A report on the canvass. made in the 1 business section last Saturday shows that $21l was obtained.s this being slightly better than the record made in last years drive. Another canvass of the business section will be made on Saturday of this week.
 Announcement has been made that the district nursing association of this city has taken over the work that for merly was done by a nurse represent ing one of the big life insurance com panies doing business in this district.
 The district nurse will now make the
 visltationS formerly made by the in-
 surance companies nurse, and the as-
 sociation will benefit by the accruing
 compensation. The service of the dis
 trict nurse will be without charge. as
 formerly, to policy holders of the in-
 surance company referred to. In! an
 effort to procure additional and much
 needed funds the nursing association
 has made application to the Putnam
 chapter of the Red Cross for money to
 use, in the work of the nursing asso-
 citation. which work is chiefly the
 safeguarding of public health one of
 the principal objects in which the Red
 Cross is interested.
 Tonight's the; night in political cir
 cles! Republicans and democrats will be at the city hall in swarms, it is predicted, to attend ward and city
 caucuses at which candidates for places as city officials will be noui- mated. Up to Thursday afternoon, nothing very definite was obtainable in regard to the possible nominees for mayor. It
 Is known that the republicans were I bearing strongly toward the renomina- tion Of Mayor A. W. Marcy. who has been highly competent official. Ma l yor Marcy, however. is honestly, not over anxious for renomination, ac- cording to those who are close to him,
 but might be induced again to become l a candidate in the line of service to ] his city and to his party.
 | In connection with the democratic l nomination for mayor a number ot names have been mentioned but it is not likely that the candidate cannot | be accurately named until after to-
 nights caucus. S..s'
 There is considerable political ma
 noeuvering among the ward politi-
 clans, with the possible outcome be- | ing a change in nominees from some i now representing the different wards. | Certain political conditions peculiar l to Putnam make the coming city cleo l ton of more than passing interest, and l it is believed that the vote on election
 day in December will be- unusually
 heavy.
