Corps VIII Enter Competition.
 With the town election coming on Monday. October 2. and the rupubli. can party having already announced their caucus to be held next Tuesday night for the purpose of electins dele gates to the various state conventions, the campaign is on.
 l Judging from the scattered reports / gathered in the town, the republican party personnel will remain as 1t is. Last term however the entire party was g1ven . severe jolt when the con- stabulary was twisted inside out and , several new faces were seen on the force after election.
 A similar jolt was given the demo- crats.
 What is taking the interest of the republican voters of the town now, however. is the coming caucus Tues. day night. At this caucus, delegates will be eleetiA for the congressional, senatorial. county and probate con- ventions in addition to nominating candidates for the state officers and senator. Members for the town com mittee for two years will also be elected.
 Last year, the caucus, held on Thursday. August 2e, resulted in the election of Edwin H. Hills, chairman of the local republican committee and Stanley S. Gwillim as representatives to the state convention; Joseph N Me l Herman was named to attend the con- gressonal convention and Charles H. Newton and Frank T. Wheeler to the senatorial.
 Indications point to the reelection of these same men this year At the caucus Thursday night, it is not expected that the check list will be used, as this method has not been put into effect during the past eight years However, it is the opin- ion of the local political heads" that some day the voters will get the shock of their lives at one of these eau cuses when those who have already entered their names on the caucus list, will demand the use of the check list.
 The average voter in Plainville has always assumed that there was no ecessity of telling the registrars their party preference. Therefore. at the last meting of the registrars, there were a few who entered their names for the caucus and the republicans have . total of 143 names on the list and the democrats about 60. The democrats 90 far have not is- sued a call for any meetings. Legion Circus Years End But two more nights are left for the American Legion to hold its socie- ty Circus and the officials are conh- dent that with the support coming in, the local post will clear expenses and have a good sum left over for the erection of the proposed building.
 Last evening, many patrons were disappointed by not getting the op- portunity to witness the performance of little Margaret Bently of Dallas, Texas who is visiting here. Margaret Is a toe dancer. The Legion however, guarantees her appearance this eve ming as d headliner. She will be sup ported by William zeigler of New Britain, a club swnger of reputation. Other good acts will be on the bill. Much comment was heard last eve- ming on the performance of the local young girls, the Misses Florence schwenk, Helen Tierney, Betty Park inso1 and Catherine Cunningham, in a singing and dancing act.
