JAMES LEON MISS GERTRUDE HEATING.
 On the floor of the caucus one vote was cast for Judge Frederic Bart lett, but his name was not introduced into the convention. Among the other problems that appeared before the delegates was the one of giving the women at least one office so as to be able to make an appeal for their support at the coming election. Miss Gertrude Keating was named as one of the three selectmen. After the preliminary business of the convention, Andrew J. Northey, of the Second district, rose and nomi- mated Clifford B. Wilson for the head of the ticket, without making any re- marks. The name of the mayor was greeted by sustained applause.

Chaffee spoke of the extravagance of the past years. the crowded schools, the high tax rate. and the large debt Of the city, declaring that 1t was a civic duty to nominate a man who would give the city good government Mr. Chaffee said that he was glad that the women had the franchise, that they had always brought an uplifting influence to anything in which they were interested, that the Republican party was sound at heart, but that the city nall was concerned.
