 Awaiting Caucus Calls
 Both republican and democratic voters are awaiting the call for the probate caucuses to be held here soon. The most interesting contest is that being waged for the nomina- ton as representative from Plain vile in the general assembly. At the present time, two are seeking the republican nomination, John J. Kim mel and Frank Smith. Both men are waging quiet but effective cam paign and both are sure that their names will be selected.
 The call for the Republican cau- GUS will be issued the middle of next week and the Democratic call will be issued shortly after that, accord ing to present indications. No one is being mentioned by the Jeffcr- sonians as a possible nominee of the party for the state legislature but if is expected that candidate will be named and the leaders of the party are predicting surprise for the voters
 Since the visit of C. F. Johnson, state organizer of the La Toilette followers, there appears on the sur face to be a strong movement for the third party here. It is reported that meetings are being arranged whereby speakers will be enabled to present La Follette's views to the party. Petitions are going to be cir culated through the town to have La Follette's name placed on the voting lists in November and those interested in the movement are quoted as saying that there will be more than enough names on the rolls.
 The political situation here is very quiet, most all voters being decided at the present time on their candj- date. As far as the town situation is concerned, there will be but one contest at the polls and this will be for the election of seven constables out of eight nominees. Philip Mar mo, who few years ago was 'dumped' hy the republicans, was renominated at the town caucus, and those who opposed him formerly, are said to be working against his election, He has, however, a strong following and he feels confident that bis strength is sufficient 10 offset any attempt to cut him at the polls.
 Although the candidates of the democratic party are working hard to get a following, the town is so overwhelmingly republican that the leaders of the party feel that their majority will not be encroached on to any extent.
