practice of these wanderers travelling by automobile, especially in trucks is increasing. It is not unlawful to travel in that fashion if the travellers have the permission of the driver of the car. but when they arc not in a car and shouting at passing automobilists when everyone is asleep their actions amount to q breach of the peace.
 Political Candidates.
 Jason Taylor of the Blue Hills dis trict has been prominently mentioned for the nomination of the Republican party for first selectman. His candi- dacy is especially urged by the resi- dents of the Blue Hills district who feel that they should be represented on the board of selectmen in order that the roads in that part of the town might be repaired. Mir. Taylor when interviewed today said that while he was appreciative of the con- fidence placed in him by his friends he did not consider running for the office and moreover he said he would not care to oppose either George Car ter or pr. R. M. Griswold. who are at present the most prominent condi- dates for the position.
 Francis Deming is being urged to run for the position of representative from the town of Berlin and it seems. probable that he will be nominated by the Republicans. The Democratic candidates are unknown. While the office of select man IS not particularly sought for by the Democratic candidates because of the large Republican plurality of voters in the town there are several Democrats who would like the nom- ination for representative. It is ex- pected that they will propose the names of several candidates for the nomination of selectman and repre- sentative.
 It has been generally believed that George Garter would be candidate for first selectman, but as yet he has not announced his position in the mat ter.
