Gently was collector Of internal rev

rics Of running for mayor. The
Republicans Of tho city stood by
him loyalty although there were a
few minor candidates OF Republ-
can persuasion in the field. BY con-
centrating upon Nichols the G. O.,

victory.
The Democrats we're less FORUM
ate. They had SO many candidates in
the field that the Democratic voters
split into factions OF sufficient

has not been the first time this hap
pened IN Boston. however, as three
mayors in the last Is years have
been Republican, the last time in
1907.
Nichols, the winner, vas not only
endorsed by the Republican leaders,

temperature is 273.1 degrees cent?
grade. This figure is reliable within
about o. degree. Absolute zero has
never quite been reached. The near

mercial demand improves, find them
selves obliged to make a choice be-

these cases the immediate purpose of

The control of rubber production In

20 per cent of the worlds rubber AT

fair price to the growers. The grow

assured that this fair price was the
sole objective of the combination. EN-
