TOWN POLITICS 
The annual Town Meeting and 
- Election will be held in Manchester 
next Monday. The apparent lack 
of interest in the election as a whole 
is noticeable. Only for three of the 
offices is there a contest,— for the 
'_ water commissioner’s job, in which 
Senter Stanley is candidate for re- 
election, with Alexander Robertson 
also seeking’ the office; for park de- 
partment, in which Jeffrey S. Reed 
seeks re-election, with Alfred E. 
E. Parsons as opponent; and for 
selectmen. For this position there 
are five candidates for the three 
positions. George R. Dean and 
Frank G. Cheever of the present 
board are candidates for re-election. 
Edward S. Knight, who has served 
on the board in years past, Lyman 
W. Floyd and Frank W. Bell are 
the other three candidates. All 
five men have their respective fol- 
lowings, and there are all kinds of 
combinations suggested. Many 
think the two members of the pres- 
ent board will be re-elected, with 
Mr. Knight as the new member; 
others feel confident of an entire 
new board; a great many others 
think only one member of the old 
board will be returned, and while 
they feel that Mr. Knight will be 
one of the new men elected, they 
are not prepared to say whether it 
will be Mr. Floyd or Mr. Bell who 
will be taken on for the third man. 
And so it goes. Nearly every com- 
bination mentioned includes Mr. 
Knight. 
frequently mentioned seems to be 
Mr. Dean and so far as we ean fig- 
ure it, summing things up as a 
whole Mr. Floyd stands a strong 
chance of being third man. Mr. 
Cheever has a strong following, as 
usual, especially among the younger 
men, and there are a great many 
people who are confident of his vic- 
tory; while another very strong tide 
seems to be flowing toward Mr. 
Bell. The count will tell the story! 
The reports of the town officers 
and of the Finance committee were 
distributed about town Wednesday 
and the voters have presumably had 
an opportunity to look them over.

COMMUNICATION 
To the Editor of the Breeze, 
We have read with interest your 
editorial on the question of candi- 
dates for Town office. Permit us to 
say that we heartly agree with you 
that for the coming year especially 
if is important to elect the very best 
men we ean find who are willing to 
accept the responsiblity. 
It is important that our streets 
should be put into good condition 
as early as possible in the spring. 
Whatever is done in this connection, 
‘‘Time is of the essence of the con- 
tract’? and the work should be well 
along or finished before the influx 
of our summer visitors, the number 
of whom we are told promises to be 
unusually large. 
Furthermore, it is wise to make 
our Town as attractive as possible, 
and our parks and beaches as well 
as our forests and shade trees should 
be well cared for by men who have 
a thorough knowledge of and exper- 
ience in that line of work. In this 
connection we are pleased to learn 
that A. E. Parsons is a candidate for 
the office of Park Commissioner. Mr. 
Parsons would, we believe, make a 
thoroughly efficient man in that of- 
fice; his practical knowledge and ex- 
perience would be of material bene- 
fit in helping to make and to keep 
our parks in that healthful condition 
in which is was designed they should 
be. —Hrank P. Knight.
