election in May it has been defin-
itely decided, caucus for the pur-
pose of nominating complete
ticket has bene called for 1880 o.
clock tomorrow night in the bor-
ough court romo.
George H. Waite, former repub-
lican burgess and now a member
of the board of charities will be
the independent party candidate
for warden.
The caucus Is being held at this
early date SO that the state law
can be adhered to. 1t requires
that an independent ticket must be
registered with the secretary OF
state at least % days before the
election. In addition, the ticket
must be accompanied with the
names of one per cent of the total
vote cast at the last election.
Those sponsoring the new party
movement, claimed today that they
had far more signatures than was
required by law. 1t was further
stated that an entire slate of can
didates wuold be nominated at the
convention.
Much interest is being manifest
ed by the constituency here over
the inception of the third party
ticket. The dopesters believe that
third party will force the lead
ers of the two major parties to
get out and work harder than
ever before. 1t was stated by
some sponsorers of the third party
that it was organized with the in
terest of citizens being most para
mount. The speakers maintained
that the two major parties were
practically dominated by the same
leaders and it was time that there
was a change. They further con-
tended that the situation had be-
come nearly as acute as 1T was IN
1912 when the voters rose up and
elected the socialist party candi-
dates to Office.
