 This action, resignation, upon the part of Sherwood and Keeling, is further expected because of the feel ing against the two men in their own districts, it being stated that petitions circulated showing the feeling for Hunter, carry several hundred names in the two districts. It is not hard to imagine that these same petitions can be revamped in the nature of re- call documents, which is not improb- able, if reSignationS are not forthcom- ing.
 Cheers For Hunter Loud.
 The council as a whole, all suffer- ing for the unpopular act of a ma- jority, temporary, at the Monday meeting, received more cat calls booes, jeers and hoots last night than were ever received by the Cherry Sis- ters, Al Reeves and Volstead rolled into one. The cheers for Hunter were even louder, and from the nature of the gathering, the neighborhods classes, and sex represented, it is a pretty safe conjecture that Hunter at the present time has eighty per cent of the Stratford voters with him Even many who did not approve of the Council-manager plan; who do not personally like Hunter, or who dis approve nf fa- carried ont or advanced are with him in this af- fair All of which goes to show that with all the turmoil there is a spirit of fair play in Stratford that cannot be downed by a handful of council men.
 That the town manager is bigger than the council, is the accepted fact as the outcome of the quarrel that has done Stratford no good The town manager has to be nearly the biggest man in town-with the one reservation that he can be ditched should he do anything radically wrong. StratfUrd voters by last nights outpouring have pretty we'll demonstrated that they do not be- lieve it necessary to advertise for bids for a couple of ash cans.
 Another Meeting Scheduled
 Another meeting is scheduled for February which falls on a Mon- day, and is regular meeting night. It is the concensus of opinion that, last nights meeting will carry. and the little matter of resigning will not be broached to Hunter again in the near future, at least not until he pur- chases more ash cans.
