 Unless the democrats lose no time in strengthening their frontiers there will be a sweeping public invasion this fall.

 When Mayor Paonessa was elected, it was evident that Registrar Smith was to be his chief adviser. Mir. Smith is reported to have had con- siderable influence in the selection of commissioners and other officials who were not acceptable to the party as a whole. Consequently, there has been more or less furore and more or less dissatisfaction. But MT. Smith con tinued to hold the fort. It is said that the dispute which has been in progress concerning the election of a chairman of the town committee has ragged around the opposition to Mir. Smith, the nti-Paonessa faction lin ing up solidly against him and his choice for chairman. There Is even talk that an effort will be made to supersede Mir. Smith as registrar when he comes up for nomination again.
 In the current issue of the "Clothier and Furnisher," a magazine devoted to the mems clothing trade, appears a word or two of advice concerning advertising. which we pass along for the benefit of those who need to be convinced. The publication says:

 Good advice for the clo0ing mer- chant or any other business man who wishes to interest the public in what he has to sell.
