News.
 Unless things speed up a great deal during the next few days, the cam paign of the present coming election for town officers, will go down int o history one of the slowest and shortest in years. Many of the older politicians are noting the decided fall ing off of interest in the campaign. The direct cause of this is not known, but nevertheless, there has been no red d-hot" action as yet and it is not expected to come. The Democratic and Republican caucuscs furnished some excitement when the constabulary re- ceived a severe jolt by the new nom nations which were seen on both tickets. Outside of this shake-up, the other offices of the town will probably be occupied by it's present holders.
 Party managers on both sides are looking forward to a short and snappy election. The said snap, however, is conspicuous by it's decided absence. The situation is probably due to the business depression and the voters have their minds occupied more or less with, ''where can I get a job ?' The time may cone in years when party rallies and stump speakers will be on the streets of Plainville but it is feared that this is some ways off. Prosperous times will eventually bring this manner of fighting for town offices ln Plainville. but at present. they are satisfied with, Who's who' in the town and let it go at that.
 There need be no fear of a master mind" among either parties and there are no direct controlling hands. Can didates for either of the town offices were far and few between and "Satis- faction" seems to be the watchword for both parties.
 Postmaster Examinations
 Today is the day set for examina- tions of a new postmaster for this town. The Civil Service Commission at Washington is probably now in re- ceipt of the applications from the local men desiring the position. It is not known definitely, however, when the notification will be received of the new office holder. There have been approximately O men haven taken ap- pliction blanks from the office with the intentions of filling them out. They are: Postmaster Peter Prior, assistant postmaster James J. Graham, Charles w. Hird, Charles Conlon, James F. Usher, Frank O. Thompson. William L.. Cafferty. Gordon Harrison, George
 
 All indications however. point to the election of James Usher. MT. Usher now lives in Newark. N. J., and is the son of Town Clerk Robert C. Usher The general opinion in regards to his appointment is favorable considering the fact that he has some powerful political men with a great deal of in luence behind them.
 However. a clause in the examina- tion paper reads to the effect that all person applying for the position. must have lived within the delivery of the local post office for a period of two years. MT. Usher has been a resident of New Jersey for the past year.
 The outcome of the examinations will be watched for by the townspeo- pie as more interest is being taken in this election than the coming one of town officers.
