T hear where Frank J. Wall Is going to China to enlist" said the man on the street, without being asked to make such an irrelevant statement. The inquiring reporter from The Democrat was taking the morning air over ct city court.
 Quite @ few persons had been celebrating the weekend and the there was lots of business for the court to attend. There didn't seem very much room, or time, for poli- tical discussion.
 But Mir. Wall, an Independent Democrat, is the alternative can- date for registrar of voters, who said that both he and Albert O.. Taller, incumbent registrar and up for reelection by the Republi- cans, are both working"
 Makes Promise
 "Yes, know that's what he says" responded the man on the street, when once the court busi- ness dWindled to Q lull. "Every- thing is harmony and the Inde- pendent candidate and the Rebub- lican are both working for the same position aS If nothing had happened. He told the group at the outing Sunday all about 1t and said that If he didn't win he'd 90 to China"
 Matters on the street are be- coming very confused these last few days, the reporter found. Some of the diligent constituency of the Independent Democrats and the Republicans who have joined Town Chairman J. Warren Upson, have been tearing down the poli- tical posters placed by the ad- miniStration.
 Take East Main street, and ScoVill street and @ few sections of the west end: Just so much pa- per now are the torn placards placed on public walls and fences.
 Somehow 0 couple of windows were busted in the west end. There seems to be more activity of the brickbat variety than there was when 1t was just @ campaign be- tween the Republicans and the Democrats, the man on the street observed.
 Gang, Gangsters
 Its one thing to speak of the Hayes gang as Chairman Upson did, and another to call the many thousands who have voted for Mayor Hayes and the administra- ton for four successive terms, 'gangsters, said the man on the street. T don't think that the Re- publicans are going to like an allusion which includes so many of their most eminent constituents in such an aspersive category. Even if they didn't vote for the administration last election, there are many who will feel sufficient

by the display of youthful enthusiasm
when he visited the jamboree grounds.

ing to Maj. Brown, that public Of
ficlals need have no fear over the
