 A caucus of the republican voters of Plainville has been called for < o'clock Friday evening, August 27 in the town hall to elect delegates to the state convention. The state gathering will be held at Harford on September 3 and IA, when nom- inees for state offices and for United States senator will be selected Delegates will also be elected to the congressional, county, senatorial and probate district conventions, while the town committee will be ap- pointed.
 This is the first move in what should be a busy electorial cam paign, as town and state elections will follow each other in short order and create double interest This is further increased because of the probability that Governor John II. Trumbull will be one of the candidates to succeed himself and PlaipVille Is anxious to keep itself on the political map. While the governor has made no announce ment of candidacy. he has been quietly boomed for some months and is considered the likely choice of his party. Two years ago he ran as second man on the state ticket. Senator Hiram Bingham be- ing the gubernatorial candidate and it is thought that the local man will now be given a chance to head the ticket himself and run on his own merits.
 Little Response 10 Appeal
 The annual membership campaign of the Plainville Public Health Nursing association has fared poor, ly this year, it was made known to- day, and further subscriptions must be made if the association i! to carry on its needed work prop eTly. Some two months ago Circu. lar letters were sent out to about HOO persons, but to date only 15C replies have been received. This is considered due partly 10 the fact that many people have been away on their vacations and have for gotten or overlooked the appeals made to them, but it is hoped that they will remember the campaign and take out memberships.
 It is through these memberships that the money is raised for the association's work. This is vital work and one which should be sup ported by the citizens to the fullest extent, as the association helps greatly in keeping the town, and especially the children of the town, in a healthy condition.
 Want Town Water
 Residents of the Westwood park section of the town are again cam paigning 10 have town water. About two years ago an attempt was made and a petition with some 25 sigma lures was made out; at that time things looked favorable, but the Plainville Water Co. finally decided that it would not lay pipes beyond Whites crossing and the scheme was temporarily abandoned.
 The recent typhoid scare. although fairly we'll established to have come from some other source than the drinking water, drew attention once more to the fact that this section of the town used well water and that the wells were near cesspools. so that there would always be a danger from this disease as long as the con- dition remained. The section is q populous one. and it is known that many news houses would be built there if the benefit of town water were secured.
 So keen for this are the residents that they are considering laying q private two-inch main but they rec ognize that this would prove unsat- isfactory in the long run as in the case of Trumbuil avenue. It'wonld be almost as costly as a larger pipe and would eventually have to be torn up when the water company went through, as will undoubtedly be the case at some future date. The proposed extension of the mains to Whites crossing would benefit only about five or six families and hard ly repay the company. but by carry ing it through to WestWood park
