er of the republican party in Berlin
and that ii he were to run he would
be sure of nomination. On the other
| hand, friends of George B. Carter,
who announced his candidacy yestcr
day, feel that Mr.. Carter is better
man for the job, as he has been in
office for three terms and is CONVEX
SAINT with present conditions. Stevens
| supporters come back at this with the
reply that Mr.. Stevens has been one
of the most loyal followers the town
has ever had. They state that he
has studied conditions in the town
and ksows just what to do. 1t is not
known whether or not Mr.. Stevens
will cast his fedora into the space
roped off for political candidates.
Should Mr.. Stevens decide to enter
the fray there is sure to be a strong
contest at the caucus this year, as
both men are we'll known and well
liked in the town. People in the Blue
Hills section, it is thought, would
unite for Mr.. Stevens, as they feel,
in that part of the town, that they
should be represented on the board
of selcctmen. 1t is likely that they
will propose candidate for the
school board also, feeling that they
have been sighted in both sections of
the town government.
