 "l'll accept the candidacy for select
 man of the town providing the Demo.
 crats see fit to nominate me at their caucus next Tuesday evening"" said
 Peter J, Prior, former postmaster for eight years at the Plainville office, and
 who has already served as selectman for period Of six years in addition to other responsible positions for the town.
 MT Prior, sitting in his drug store on West Main street. made this an- nouncement today after a period of silence, attributed probab bly, after some contemplation to how the field for his re-nomination stood this term. It is understood that the Democrats will turn their faces towards Mir. Prior at the coming caucus as possible candidate, believing he will serve them to the best of his ability as he did when he entered the selectmans office in 1902 and held 1t until 1908. Mir. Prior was at that time one of the strongest politicians in the town and was favored by both parties as se- lectman, due to his excellent business methods and his fight for fair play among the people.
 Mir Prior does not predict any grea scramble for nominations at either the Democratic or Republican caucuses this year nor does he expect to see very much change in the pres ent offices.
 He believes the constabulary, which received a severe jolt last term, will remain the same but the selectmn's and town clerks offices will be the main issue.
 William J. Foran, chairman of the democratic committee. has announced the caucus for next Tuesday evening to be held at the town hall at s o'clock in the court room Candidates will then be named for all town offices.
 Miss May Morgan, the present as- sistant town clerk, is understood to be favored by the Democrats as their candidate for the town clerks posi- tion. Miss Mary Fitzgerald is also men toned.
 The Republicans have also issued their notice for caucus and Chairman Edwin H. Hills calls his men together on Thursday evening, September IA, at the town hall.
 The republicans have made no men, tion as yet in regard to their candidate for the town clerks office but an an- nountement may be received soon as to the favorite.
