With the holding of the town caucuses candidates are already »pringing up for the coveted places in the political line, and, strange to say, Franklin is asking for nothing this year. But her assistance will be of great value to the aspirants from the other towns, the understanding being that nearly all of the towns desire a representative to the coming great and general court in Boston.

With the completion of Representative L. L. Burrington's second term and his removal from town, Franklin loses its member. His colleagne, Warren E. Fair- banks of Bellingham, has decided not lo ask for a second term, so there will prob- ably be two new men from this district.

Later there will be the matter of seua- tor to come up, and again the political pool will be troubled to see who shall re- ceive the coveted prize. The last time it came to Franklin was when the district was represented by the late William F.

Ray. He was followed by Fred H. Wil- liams, the present aspirant for congres- sional honors, and Ite by the present in. cumbent, Frank A. Fales of Norwood.

Naturally the Williams men insisted

that the two ballots in the field did not affect the will of the voter in the least. Be this as it may. the contest would have beeu a pretty ome had there heen three Powers names and three Williams names upon the regular ticket, which would have simplified the issue. It may or may not have affected the result-this opin- ion, however, depending entirely upon the point of view. The voters for the preseut having expressed a preference

The success of the Williams ballot of course encompassed the defeat of every uame upon the ticket prepared by the town committee, a somewhat unexpected cousummation, and one that some of the

sponsors of the Williams ballot hasten to disown, The very fact that the town

committee offered so many names for se lection was the deciding factor in bring- ing about this apparent rejection of their

ticket. Indeed, the friends of the com mittee insist that had there been but the requisite number of names desired upon | here and There of Teutonic humor that
