Thieves Try To
 Open School Safe
Salem School Entered Through Basement Window
 Democratic Convention Tonight

Attempts to break into the safe in the Salem Grammar school were made some time during last night, 1t was disclosed this morning by the local police. The thief or thieves failed in their efforts or else were frightened away without opening the safe.
 Entrance was gained to the base rnent of the building by prying open window on the west side of the school. Once inside the intruder went to the janitor's room where they procured a crowbar and bit and brace. With these implements they worked on the safe in an effort to open it.
 The break was discovered this morning by janitpr Anderson of the school. He notified Superintendent < of Schools Chittenden who in turn got in touch with the local police. Chief of Police Adamson is conduct ing an investigation.
 So far as could be learned the thief or thieves took nothing of value from the building, their ef- forts evidently being confined to the opening of the safe.
 Convention Tonight
 Candidates for office at the annual borough election to be held on May 4, will be nominated tonight at the democratic convention to be held in the borough court room at 8 o'clock. Twenty-one delegates, seven from each ward and two alternates will attend the session.
 Warden Frank T. Green seems sure of renomination if he will ac- cept. The warden Is at present con- fined to St RaphaePs hospital in Navuy ff,I1 fne ftov, So far as Is known he has made no statement as to whether he would consent to make the run again this year. He is without doubt the strongest candidate that the party might nominate for the office.
 Charles F. Daily will receive the nomination for tax collector accord : ing to resorts and efforts are to be made to have Borough Treasurer John Brannigan again accept the nomination for this office. MT Bran nigan stated early this week that he would not again seek the nomfna : tion as other duties would keep him busy this year. The party members are reluctant to have MT Brannigan pull out and it is expected that he will be prevailed upon to accept. In all probability the convention will name Louis Schiller, Jr, as the can didate for town clerk. MT Schiller is a republican officeholder and he will bc renominated by the republicans again to make the run. For the past few years the democrats have en- dorsed Clerk Schiller and it is ex- pected that they will again tonight. A candidate for town school com mitteeman will also be named at to- nights gathering, Attorney Henry J. Freeman, the present member of the board will not seek renomina- tion. It is expected that P. H. Re- gan will be renominated for bor- ough auditor without opposition. He has served as auditor for the past several years. Jeremiah Callahan, present democratic registrar of vot- CTS, is said to not be candidate for rc-nomination and another will be nominated for this office. The con- vention will also nominate selectmen and candidates for bailiffs and name 8 new town committee. Mrs Annie E Calvin chairman of the committee for the past two years wishes to retire. Judge Martin E. Gormley is mentioned as being fa- vored for the town chairmanship.
