TOMORROW TOsEE
FIRST CONTEST
IN NINE YEARS
Previous Village Elections Have
Been Lightly Attended
POLLS OPEN AT 9 O'CLOCK
Several Important Measures to Be
Considered at Business Session
Called at p. M.

Unless all predictions fail. one of
the largest votes in the history OF the
village is going to be cast at the an
nual election 10 be held tomorrow.
For the first time in ten years the
meeting will see an out and out con-
test for vii age officers with two COM
plete tickets in the field. The names
of number of candidates appear on
both tickets but there is pronounced
strife over the choice of a village
president. two trustees and one
water commissioner.
The last real battle. at the polls in
a village election occurred in 1910
when Fred c. Martin, the democratic
candidate. defeated ]. Ben. Harmon,
republican. AT this election 994 votes
were cast and there is every reason
to believe that this total will be con-
siderably exceeded tomorrow.
John P. Morrissey, who has had
nine years experience as member of
the village government, eight years
as trustee and one year as village
president is a candidate for re-elec-
tion and is opposed by Charles A.
Sausville. a weaver employed at the
Holden, Leonard company mill and
who is unusually popular with those
with whom he is associated.
In ward four Peter ]. Mcguire is
a candidate for trustee to succeed S.
A. Burt and will undoubtedly be elect
ed as his name appears on both
tickets
In ward five the caucus nominee,
Fred J. Allen is opposed by Karl o.
Estes and in ward six. the caucus
nominee, ]. Livingston is opposed by
DR.. G. S. Buchanan. ss.s So
Judging from the personal affilia-
tions of the candidates, party lines
are not going to- be observed except
in individual instances. The presence
of the expected large number of vot-
ers viii result in more thorough
discussion of the different proposals
in the village warning. A year ago
only S3S votes We're cast.
The polls will open at 8 o'clock
sharp and the voting will close at Q
o'clock in the afternoon.
The following officials were named
at the meeting of the village board of
authority and trustees Saturday eve
ming:
Ballot clerks-Joseph A. Pellerin,
Joseph McDermott. Betsey S. Donnel-
ley, C, S. Estes. E. ]. Murphy, Roy G..

ment declined to make promise.
The general strike is spreading all
over Germany. 1t was effective in
Berlin today. All the cafes were
closed.
The two Governments Of Germany
are now matching wits and forces to
gain control of the republic DR..
Wolfgang Kapp, who proclaimed the
new order at Berlin and himself
Chancellor, is employing all his ef
forts to assure the German people
that government under him and those
he selects to administer affairs vii
mean true democracy, increased pro-
ductiveness and conservation OF the
rights of the working people.
Friedrich Ebert, President OF the
old Government, who with most of
his Ministers hastily withdrew from
Berlin when the revolving troops
marched in and Kapp and Won
Luettwitz took control, is yariously
reported to be at Dresden or Stutt-
gar and from his point of security
is calling upon the Socialists
and working classes generally to
stand by the old Government and to
use the strike weapon so that the
counter revolution may be promptly
suppressed.
In response to this appea, a gem
eral strike has been proclaimed, in
many places, but in other parts of
Germany the call for a strike has not
been received with favor.
A bloodless revolution thus far has
characterized the movement upon
Berlin, where the people are viewing
events with that serenity to which
they have been accustomed by the oc-
currences of recent years. There is
however, an undercurrent of anxiety
because barbed wire entanglements
have been thrown up in front of the
great public buildings near Inter
Denlinden and Wilhelmstrass, and
connor and machine guns are posted
at the cross streets and other points
of vantage. Guards heavily armed
are stationed throughout the city.
This is an ominous sign of possible
clashes.
There has been constant official re-
iteration of the statement that the new
Government is not reactionary; that
It does not desire the restoration OF
the monarchy, but that it has come
into Office so that Germany may be
rehabilitated Chancellor Kapp, in a
statement to the foreign corresponds
ents said hat the conditions of 4he
peace treay would be fulfilled, so far
as they could be reconciled with Ger
man honor and Germany's economic
condition.

not getting what they a entitled to in
insurance matters and that if they will
get the data to the organization the
handling of the affairs Will be ad-
vanced. The American Legion should
look after this work.

Washington, March IA With the
Senate in agreement to vote tomor-
row on all proposed reservations to
Article X. of the League of Nations
covenant. it is recognized that the end
of the fight over the German peace
treaty is in sight. Thursday is the
dav forecast generally for the vote on
and 1t is the opinion that
there is slight, If any, possibi ity OF
changing the result--defeat of the
treaty.
The possible interposition of Presi-
dent Wilson with a demand that the
Democrats join in and ratify cannot
produce the change of enough votes
to attain the end, in the opinion of
the opponents of the treaty. II the
President does interpost at the last
hour and attempts to change the re-
suit he will do so entirely on his own
volition. Democrats are done with
consulting him. They feel, regardless
of personalities or faction, that they
are not welcome at the White House.
In the last two days conferences
on the Senate floor between Republi
can 'irreconciIables" and loyal Ad-
ministration Democrats have been
frequent. The Administration Demo-
Gratis want TO prevent ratification
with the Lodge reservations. These
Democrats have compared notes and
polls with the 'irreconcilables" in
all frankness and It was said today by
an ''irreconcilables leader that the
treaty would be rejected, possibly by
a vote made up of equal numbers OF
Democrats and Republicans. This lead
er thought that there might be twenty
Democrats and that many Repub.i-
cans voting against ratification, but
his inside guess was 20 Democrats
and is Republicans, a total OF 3S, or
i've more than the number necessary
to reject il all Senator'S vote.

Berlin, March 15--The leaders OF
the Ebert government are apparently
gathering force to combat the new
regime, aided by the forces of labor
which have declared a general strike
throughout Germany as a protest
against the change.
Berlin is without news of what is
transpiring beyond the manifestoes
issued by the government as news
papers have been suppressed.
1t is rumored that Gustav Noske,
minister of war under Ebert, is form
ing an army to march against the
usurper.
At the chancellory this afternoon
the presence of two Prussian mem
bers of the deported government is
giving rise to the inference That ne
gotiations are in progress with vew
to compromise and the formation OF
coalition government with a new
lineup
Berlin, March 15.-The German ma
tional assembly has been summoned
by the Ebert government to meet at
St Ugart tomorrow There was an
unconfrmed report shortly before
midnight that the new government
had reached an agreement with the
Ebert government in order to avoid
the threatened railway strike.
1t is reported that the South Ger
man generals and Saxon troops have
given adherence to Gustav Noske,
minister of defence in the Ebert gov
ernment.
Measures looking to arrests calcu-
lated to prevent an uprising against
the new regime announced.
London, March 15.-One of the first
acts of the new Berlin government
was to request. recognition from the
allied commissioners in Germany, ac-
cording to an official British message.
The request has been ignored, the
commissioners taking the attitude
that they would not extend recogni-
ton even to the extent of answering
the communication.
Berlin, March 14.-The streets Of
bGTllI GAHlUllSu lutlI customary Cuh
day aspect today There were no dis
turbances, but large crowds gathered
around the Government offices, where
the heads of the new regime were at
work.
The new Cabinet has not yet been
formed, but it is definitely known that
DR.. Taugott Won Jagow, former Chief
of Police of Berlin and a notable re-
dictionary, will be Prussian Minister
of the Interior The other appoint
ments are in allegiance. 1t is pro-
posed for the present to have only a
two man Cabinet, or directorate, com
posed of DR.. Wolfgang Kapp and
Major-Gen. Baron Won Luettwitz.

has informed Kapp that the railway
employees of Prussia objected to a
Cabinet in which Kapp and Won
Jagow are represented and that if
they remained in Office the entire rail
way forces would strike. The Govern
