the church for centuries Among
the alterations was the deletion from

Use OF the old or revised version
would be optional. The church as

posed Of the house Of bishops, the
house OF clergy and the house of
laity adopted the revised version
yesterday by vote OF SIT to 133.
Since the Church of England is

from the parliament.

NJ. White Today.

Work on the installation of Bris-
tolls new white way system for the
business district was started yester-
day when workmen of the Bristol
and Plainville Electric Co. started
/ laying an underground conduit for
the electric light wires under the
sidewalks along North Main street.
In order to lay this conduit, a mar
row strip of the sidewalk next to the
curb has been torn up and in order
to facilitate this an automatic air
drill has been put to use.
Bristols new white way system
will relieve the business district of
its stygian darkness which pervades
that section of the city when the
lights in the store fronts are turned
off. The white way system will be
located on the following streets:
Main street from South street TO
High street School street from Main
street to Church street, Riverside
avenue from Main street to the Of
flee of the Bristol and Plainville
Electric Co., North Main street from
Main street to Center street Pros
pect street from Main street to the
Red Mems Building. and Laurel
street from North Main street to
Church street.
The contract for the new white
way system was secured several
months ago through the efforts of
Councilman William A. Hayes of the
street lighting committee Of the city
council.
The Bristol and Plainville Electric
Co. will pay for the cost of the in
stallation and the city will pay for
service rendered on a yearly con-
tract basis.
Work on the construction of the
new white way system has been held
UP on account of the electric com
pany changing over its equipment at
the power station on Highland court.
The incandescent lights in other
places about the city will also be
changed over so that more power

INDEPENDENTS
MAY TIP over
C. O. P. CASTLE
meeting May Bring Out New
Candidate; Norris and
Borah Boosted.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Revival
of the old independent movement
in the Republican party as a pro-
test against present candidates for
the 1928 Republican presidential
nomination is being discussed open
ly by group of western senators
here.
A meeting is to be held this week
to talk about what can and should
be done. The invitation list includes
Senators Borah, Idaho; Norris, Ne
braska; Brookhart, Iowa; Frazier
anNye, North Dakota; LaFollette
and Blaine, Wisconsin, and Ship
stead, Farmer-Labor, Minnesota.
The group is dissatisfied with the
decision. reached by Republican ma
tional committeeman here last week
to work for denomination of Presi-
dent Coolidge if possible and for
Vice President Dawes as second
choice.
1t also is displeased because Her
bert Hoover and Charles E. Hughes
are considered the leading candi-
dates by some Republican chiefs.
Want Farm Bloc Man
The group desires nomination of
a farm bloc man, and some of the
instigators of the movement are not
convinced they should support
Frank o. Lowden of Illinois, advo-
cate of the McNary- Haugen bill.
OStensibly the movement is CEN
tering now around Norris as the
man to cary the bloc's banner in the
convention, but some see possibility
that Borah later may capture the
major portion of it's strength.
Norris has been discussed as a
respective candidate for some
weeks. In Nebraska there has been
serious talk of pledging the State
delegation to him and he stands in
a fair way to have the Wisconsin
delegation, too, if he wants it.
He has been considered an able
leader in the movement which
brought the late Senator Robert M.
LaFollette into the 1924 campaign
as an independent candidate, and
probably would inherit most of La
Follette's old strength.
Norris Not Excited
The Nebraskan, however, says he
does not take his candidacy serious
ly and does not believe he has a
chance for the nomination.
He met with Borah and some of
the others upon his arrival here
Saturday and agreed to meet again
when the remaining members of the
group arrive here next week.
Borah's apparent participation in
the discussions has caused consider
able surprise. Off and on during
the last few years he has worked
with the group in individual legis-
lative campaigns, but he usually has
been considered more of a party
man" than the others.
He is expected to be the favorite
son of Idaho in the next convention
and it is possible the group could
build up a formidable bloc of votes
behind him at the next convention.
