MT Castle thanked the mem bers of the party for the hearty co-opera- ton received by him during his term of service but asked to be excluded from the rominotions this year. MT. Castle then nominated William J. Foran for the position of chairman and the nomination was promptly carried. MT. Foran is a Tive wire" and has become well known through his activities in connection with the fire department and with Court Gen eral Lawton, F. of A. He thanked the members of the party for their ex- pression of confidence in his ability in rendering the nomination to him and asked for a continuance of the support which has been given to MT. Castle. MT. Castle replied to MT. Foran's request and assured the new chairman of the good will of the party.
 It was then voted to empower the chairman to select nine members for the committee in preference to having them elected at the meeting. This has been the custom among local demo- crats for the past few years. At this point the meeting was adjourned.
 To Make Voters Tomorrow.
 In Plainvlle as in several other towns in Connecticut, there has been a great deal of misunderstanding as to the date on which voters will be made The general statutes formerly contained section providing that the selectmen should meet to make voters on the second Saturday before the town election. This statute has been amended and now provides that voters shall be made on the third Saturday before election. For this reason the selectmen will meet to- morrow to make new voters. Many citizens were under the impression that work was to be done week from tomorrow and the selectmen wish to make the point clear.
