ERRATIC VOTE. CAST 
ELECTION OF DELEGATES To CoNsTI- 
TUTIONAL CONVENTION PRODUCES 
Evipence oF Lack or INTER- 
EST IN MANCHESTER. 
It is a good thing, in the minds of 
those who are _ following 
eyents, that the fathers of the original 
Constitution of the Commonwealth 
did not take the same amount of in- 
terest in drafting it as the people of 
the state did on Tuesday in the elec- 
tion of delegates to revise it. If the 
gentlemen of the bygone day had dis- 
played a proportionate interest Mass- 
achusetts might have worried along 
without a constitution or would be 
blessed with a less desirable instru- 
ment than it has. 
From the appearance of the ballot 
the method was to follow the dog- 
gerel of school children in their 
games, and count them out, “eenie, 
mieenie, minie, moe,” although some 
picked top names in voting. 
In the case of delegates from the 
6th Congressional district a little more 
thought was apparent in the selection 
of candidates, the four who were 
elected being C. O. Bailey of New- 
bury, Samuel W. George of Haver- 
hill, W. W. Lufkin and Edmund G. 
Sullivan. 
A good vote was polled in 
CUnPeniGg 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Manchester by Rev. Clarence S. Pond 
of Beverly Farms. _A. P. Loring, 
who was unopposed in the represen- 
tative district was, of course, 
elected.

BEVERLY FARMS 
The Beverly Farms branch of the 
Improvement society will hold its 
regular monthly meeting with Mrs. 
Frank I. Lomasney, Greenwood ave., 
next Wednesday afternoon. 
A lot of young shade trees have 
just been set out on the street line of 
the sidewalks in various parts of the 
Farms. This is one of the results of 
the work of the Improvement society. 
The class in First Aid which has 
been under instructions on Wednes- 
day evenings, meeting in St. John’s 
Parish rooms, has completed the 
course and the members are quite 
pleased over the prospect of receiv- 
ing their diplomas. 
Mrs. Arthur Standley of Oak st. 
has the sympathy of her many friends 
here over the loss of her father, 
former Councilman George E. John- 
son, who died at his home, Chapman’s 
corner, Beverly ‘Cove, on Wednesday 
evening. He was 66 years old and 
had been in ill health for some time 
and for this reason Mrs. Standley of 
late had closed up her home here to 
live with him. 
The less you talk the less likely you 
are to choke if compelled to swallow 
your words.
