MR. EDITOR :- I was very much sur- prised at the action of the Town com- mittee In leaving off certain names from the Republican hallot. My remembrance was that the caucus a year ago voted that the committee place upon the hallot such names as were asked for by ten Re- publican voters, and I also notice that the call published in the SENTINEL, re- quested that any petition must have ten oames signed. Could not the committee "consider " a name unless ten men re- quested it? Was not the word ten used beceuse the cancus had voted it? As the committee is a creature of the voters
I cannot see how a request differs from
an order. The committee may have acted in its best judgment, but hardly io accordance with its instructions.
