Norwich bulletin., 1920-10-04

The republican town committee, as told Saturday morning, has unanimous ly voted to recommend Senator Maurice W. Flynn for renomination by the eau GUS to be held next Tuesday evening. If the caucus stands by the committee recommendation, the possible danger of the loss of a congressman in this dis trict will be eliminated. While the vote of Westerly is republican, the size of that vote will cut quite a figure in the vote for congressman, and the larger the majority. the better 1t will be for the state and national ticket. The turn ing down of the committee recommenda- tion would widen the party breach and probably result in many electors not voting.
 Besides nominating a senator. the caucus will nominate two representa- tives for two years, legislative sessions being held annually and elections bien- nially. The committee has also unani- nously votd to recommend the renomi- nation of Representative Samuel H. Da- wis from the Second representative dis. trict The committees action indicates that it is the desire of the party lead CTS that these nominations be made without opposition and contest avoided.

 out for harmonious action and twill use | it's best endeavor to settle all business being called and avoid the necessity of 1 continuing the caucus for two days 1 longer, OF to the reassembling of the caucus. Thursday evening.
 | Should contest arise, instead of call ing for a ballot, that the election might I pass through and be counted" It is claimed, that the call for ballot means to get under cover, rather than stand
 up and be counted. If ballot be talk :, en, it will be secret and, on the plar that prevails in regular election days. , Miss NJ. Ethel Briggs, district nurse , cast the first ballot at the South , Kingstown democratic caucus. Stat' Senator Ray P Littlefeld and Repre-
