DEMOCRATIC SLATE
 STILL UNCERTAIN
Prior Remains Undecided; Loomis Definitely Through
REPUBLICANS ARE ACTIVE
Services in Churches Tomorrow Morning-Martha Rebtkah Lodge to Hold Public Social and Card Party-Interesting Items.

With the political campaign for 1929 opened during the past week | by announcements of candidacy from three prominent republicans the voters of the town are await ng with interest developments within the democratic ranks. As of ..et | there has been no sign of activity among the members of the Jeffcr- sonian party.
 Two members of the present | board of selectmen, James Simpson and William Downham. both repuh licans, declared during the past week that they will seek re-elect'or in the fall The third member 0. the board. Edward P. Prior. one ot the leaders of the democratic party, has yet to make a statement.
 When interviewed by the Herald Mir. Prior stated that he had pot given consideration to the mater yet and was not prepared to make any announcement to the public. Mir. Prior, who is chief of the fire de- partment, has been the democratic standard bearer for many years, slipping down in 1927 only to mal:e a comeback last year and regain his office. In spite of his silence. t is the general opinion of the voters that he will be on the democratic ticket again this year.
 I irJ col N man in 1927. who headed the min ority ticket last year only to meet defeat at the hand of Mir. Prior will be missing from the democratic ranks this year.
 When asked by the Herald If he cratic ticket again this year, MT. Loomis answered with a terse "No.' He added that he was absolutely through with politics and would have nothing to do with them any more. With Mr. Loomis fading from the picture and MT. Prior undecided. the democratic ticket remains very un- certain and new aspirants to office are likely to appear in the field.
 No further announcements have been forthcoming from the republi- can ranks since the declarations of Selectmen Simpson and Downham and at the present time it appears that they will be unopposed at the republican primary. Town Clerk William H. Wilson, who was oppos ed by two other candidates at the republican primary two years ago, is expected to be the unanimous choice of his party this year.
 While the republican seleCtmen announced that they will be candi- dates for recollection. Mr. Wilson merely stated that. if the people of the town were satisfied with the work that has been accomplished by him during the past two years, he would accept the office for another term if tho voters saw fit to elect him again.
 It is being predicted that prac- tically the same tickets which repre- scented the two parties last year will be nominated this year.
