Ward politics came into the lime
light last night when four Of the six
wards of Barre held caucuses TO nomi-
nate candidates for the election on
March Z. Two of the caucusos wards
two and five-werc so quiet affairs
that they were scarcely different than
a street corner confabulation; but the
other two wards four and six--deycl-
oped something in the line OF con-
test.
The sum total of the evenings activ-
itfss was as follows;
Ward two, Charles w. Averill nomi-
mated for alderman.

mated for alderman.
Ward five, A. H. Fasola nominated
for school commissioner.
Ward six, A. H. Iund nominated for
alderman and w. ii. Eager nominated
for school commissioner.

the fling, last night, OF the name Of
James r. Milne, the defeated candi-
date IN the fourth ward caucus, as
candidate for alderman, thus assuring

Thursday night for the mayoralty
nomination, announced formally to-
day that he would not file against
Waldron Shield, the caucus nominee.
The votes in the fourth and sixth
ward caucuscs last night were SO close
as to indicate that the election might
swing either way under the conditions
as at present shaped up, there being
margin Of four votes out of fifty cast
for the aldemanic nomination in the
sixth ward and margin of eight votes
out of $50 in the fourth ward.
