EATON FOR ASSESSORS
Taking Place Vacated by Skinner Registrars Meet Tuesday - Few Changes in Railroad Schedule - Complain of Blocked Crossing.

Approximately 1,O00 voters of the town of plainville are not on either the republican or the democratic caucus list, it has been discovered by tho republican town committee, and steps are being taken to end this situation as soon as possible. The attention of the town committee was called 10 the matter when the checking system of voting was used at the recent republican town eau GUS; many republicans found that their names were not on the list. and 1t was announced that the old caucus list had been burned when fire destroyed the old town hall. Many voters of both parties had not been aware of this and had neglect cd to have their names placed on the next lists which had to be made up. The sudden discovery of the situation at the caucus caused con- siderable trouble and prevented some so acknowledged republicans from voting.
 To notify all peters of this and correct the situation, the republican town committee, Chairman Ralph l.. Seymour said totay, has mailed l. 900 letters to registered voters whose names do not appear on either caucus list and are therefore ineligible to vote at party primaries. It is suggested that the matter be attended to at once so that all names will be on the list when the next vote by the check system may be re- quired. In order to be placed on the list of either party, the letter states, all that is necessary is to notify Democratic Registrar George k. Skinner, Republican Registrar John E. Lamb of any member of either town committee. This may be done by telephone or otherwise
 Many voters have been confused by the receipt of these letters and believe that they are not eligible to vote in elections. This is not the case, MT. Lamb and MT. Skinner ex- plained this morning. Those re- Ceiving the letters are registered vot- CTS and may cast their ballots at elections, but they cannot vote at the party caucuses until their names are placed on the lists. The regis trars hope that this explanation will calm some of the disturbed voters who have been afraid they could not exercise their voting privilege Monday.
 Eaton As Successor
 William s. Eaton will be the democratic candidate for assessor at he-coming town election. It was stated in last nights Herald that the party would not contest this office, but N1r. Eaton has been named to fill the vacancy left when Registrar George R. Skinner, originally nom- mated, declined to run.
 It has also been learned that the democratic party will have two can- didates in the field for grand juror. Besides William J. Foran, present incumbent, Frederick Spencer is in the field
 Vote of Finance Board
 The question of whether or not Plainville is to have a finance board to act as an advisory body in mone- tary affairs will be before the voters Monday. It does not seem to be understood generally how this vote will be taken, but it was learned to- day that this question will be on the voting machines Monday. A card reading, Shall a board of finance be established in Plainville?" will be inserted above Question Lever No. l on all three. voting machines, and it is hoped that all voters will remembers this and vote on this matter as well as for the candidates for the various offices.
 The voting machines were set up last night. Machine No. 1 is now available at all times for demOnstra- tion purposes, and those wishing to learn how to use the machines have only to call at the Town hall and be inducted into the procedure.
