John P. Holigan and Royal H. Morse, town registrars have an- nounced that all eligible residents desiring 10 become voters may sub init their names for acceptance be ginning today and until the regular meeting of the registrars when the names will be accepted and placed on the town records.
 The registrars have already been busy working on the caucus lists. changing the political identity of Berlinites who have announced their intentions of changing parties and including on the list those who have Lesn omitted. They held two meet 'ings for that purpose and report that only few Berlinites expressed their desire for change of party enlist ment. A few more brought the fact to the registrars attention that they were omitted from the regular cau GUS lists.
 The considerable amount of build ing which has taken place during the spring and early summer will bring a large amount Of new voters to the town lists. Last year num- her of new voters names were add ed to the records and official opinion seems to point to a larger amount this year
 Henry DeminS. chairman of the republican town committee. has an- nounced that the republican political wheels have started moving and that the call for the annual caucus Will be made early in September He said that the principal move Of ms party during the coming campaign would be to get out greater per centage of the vote than was evident last year. First Selectman George E. Carter also has said that the ap- pearance of full vote would be the main object of the coming campaign Daniel Malarney, chairman of the democratic town committee. has an- nounced that the democratic caucus would probably be held on the same evening as the republican caucus as has been the custom for the past few years.
 The position of town clerk. held by Arthur l.. Woodruff who has fill ed the position for many years, will be open 10 a vote this year. Although Mir. Woodruff has stated that he has rot given much time to considering another term in office, it is general N believed that he will seek re- election and popular opinion goes further to say that if he elects to ,ry for office another term there would be no doubt concerning the issue, either at the republican eau ,cus or at the polls. The town clerk has won the support of both parties during his years in office and it IS considered doubtful that the demo- cratic party would nominate town clerk to run against him,

We're overruled today in an effort to
exclude evidence bearing on the feas-
Utility of constructing compromising
work as a means of raising lake

such evidence on the ground that the

1S a result Of Dempsey ultl-
a matum, the coming battle De-
tween Sharkey and Maloney
has lost much Of the glamor that IL
once held for both men. instead
of being a bout to decide who wouiu
meet Tunney, it is just announcer
heavyweight battle.
.Umpiring in Boston at the time
Dempsey delivered his ultlmatum
to Richard, same being the home OF
Maloney and Sharkey, l know per-
sonally, that Dempsey's comeback
made no'hit with either of the two
BostonianS.
One of the two must lose, which
leaves him considerable distance
from a championship bout. The
winner must prove he is a better
man than the victor of the Demp-
sey-Paulino battle.
Perhaps Richard knows both OF
them are trifle disgruntled over
the turn in affairs, for l note he has
offered both Of them near nan
million guarantee for two tights.
