A Few Questions. 
To the Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
What are the Republican voters of 
Manchester up against ? 
Can we not have a ticket in the field 
with Shaw delegates to the Senatorial 
convention without having to run an 
independent ticket in opposition to the 
men who are supposed to have the in- 
terest of the Republican party at heart? 
Apparently the majority of the 
present town commitee intend to keep 
up the fight against Mr. Shaw even 
after he has the unanimous support 
of the entire district. 
They have voted to cut the member- 
ship of the town committee for the 
ensuing year down to seven ; and why ? 
Is it to shake out the men who were 
against Mr. Hubbard and for Mr. 
Shaw? Who were against Glouces- 
ter’s monopolizing the senatorship ad 
infinitum, and in favor of Manchester’s 
candidate? Is it not time that the 
Republican voters of Manchester took 
the helm away from the few men who, 
from all external appearances, intend 
to rule or ruin this entire campaign ? 
Come to the caucus, gentlemen, and 
see to it that these men who represent 
the sentiment of this town are not 
turned down for their very commend- 
able position in this matter !

AUTO ACCIDENTS. 
Two More Narrow Escapes from Fatal 
Accidents at Manchester, 
As the season begins to wane reck- 
lessness on the part of automobilists 
seems to increase, there being two 
more narrow escapes from serious, if 
not fatal accidents, in Manchester the 
past week, one last Saturday after- 
noon when an auto struck a horse be- 
ing ridden by Chester Standley, re- 
sulting in a broken arm for the young 
man, and another Sunday afternoon, 
when an autorun into Miss Ida Brace, 
throwing her from her bicycle and 
cutting a severe gash in her head. 
Mr. Standley was riding one of Dr. 
R. H. Fitz’s horses from his father’s 
blacksmith shop to West Manchester. 
When near the Samuel Knight resi- 
dence on Central street an auto was 
met coming in the opposite direction, 
and Mr. Standley rode close to the 
sidewalk on the right hand side of the 
road to let it pass, but another auto 
coming up behind tried to pass be- 
tween the horse and auto, striking the 
former. Mr. Standley was thrown 
headlong over the horse’s head and 
landed heavily on the macadam road. 
The horse galloped up the road, with 
the auto after it, the latter escaping 
without anybody chancing to catch 
its number. Meanwhile Mr. Standley 
had started after his horse, not con- 
scious of his injuries, his arm being 
numbed by the shock. The limb was 
found to be shattered in the elbow, 
and it will take several weeks before 
the young man can take it from a 
sling. 
Sunday afternoon Miss Ida Brace, 
the seventeen year old daughter of 
Frank Brace, who works on the F. 
M. Whitehouse estate, was riding on 
her wheel on Summer street. When 
near the McMillan entrance three 
autos came hustling along behind her. 
She kept close to the right hand side 
of the road but as one of the rear 
autos turned out to pass the others, it 
struck the bicycle and threw the 
young lady to the ground with force. 
She fell on the fender of the car head 
down. Special Of. Thos. Sheehan,who 
was out after ‘“‘scorchers”’ with Chief 
Peabody, was within a few feet of the 
accident at the time and saw the whole 
mix-up. Heclaims the auto was. en- 
tirely at fault, so much so, in fact, he 
started to arrest the chauffeur, but 
the Chief recoganized the man and let 
him go after getting his address, num- 
ber, etc, 
Miss Brace received a bad scalp 
wound and severe bruises all over her 
body, and her tondition was quite 
serious at first. 
W. H. Coolidge of Beverly Cove 
owned the auto, which was in charge 
of his chauffeur, Harold: K. Marrow.

WHISPERINGS. 
There will be music in the air at 
Manchester the night of the Republi- 
can caucus, I am informed. The 
Shaw committee intend to celebrate 
the nomination of a Manchester man 
for the Senate with a band concert. 
And there will be plenty of skyrock- 
ets, red fire, roman candles and the 
like, too, loads of this being imported 
to town at present

I hear whisperings of the bravery(?) 
of one of Manchester’s special police 
not many days ago, to whom was com- 
mitted the task of shvoting a cat 
belonging to one of our summer resi- 
dents. Armed with a revolver the 
officer started at his work, and after 
some preliminaries the shot was fired, 
but when the smoke rolled away all 
that could be seen of the feline was 
the end of her bushy tail disappearing 
in the distance. _The shot had taken 
effect, but only enough to convince 
the animal it still had eight lives left, 
and next morning another man was 
sent on a hunt for the half-killed cat, 
which was later chloroformed. 
To Cut Down Number on 
Town Committee. 
At a meeting of the Manchester 
Republican town committee Monday 
evening it was decided by a majority 
vote to cut down the size of the town 
committee for the ensuing year, mak- 
ing the committee seven instead of 
nine. All the committee were pres- 
ent except E. P. Stanley and J. N. 
No other action of import- 
ance was taken. 
A Cyclone Strikes Manchester. 
“Cyclone” Strople of the John 
Hancock Life Ins. Co. has been seen 
about Manchester every day this week, 
and from appearances he is doing a 
rushing business. He has written two 
of the largest contracts placed here 
for a number of years this week, 
which certainly goes to show that. the 
John Hancock is appreciated in Man- 
chester, and that people realize it is 
the best company to insure in. See 
Strople if you want any life insur-
