10 
LIVELY CAUCUS. 
committee for the ensuing year was 
the issue. 
While it was. conceded Mr. Shaw 
would carry all the delegates to the 
conventions, there was a doubt in the 
minds of many over the town commit- 
tee ticket. While it was known there 
would be two tickets in the field, one 
made up of the old town committee, 
openly opposed to Mr. Shaw, and an- 
other favoring the senatorial candidate, 
it was the opinion of many there would 
be considerable scratching and the 
committee would break. The surprise 
came when practically the same vote 
which elected Mr. Shaw’s delegates 
elected a new town committee. 
It was a sweeping victory in no un- 
certain measure. Of the 273 ballots 
cast the Shaw vote was practically 
171, to the opposition’s 102, there be- 
ing slight variation either side of these 
numbers on the various names. 
It was a gala night for Manchester 
folk. A band concert drew crowds 
to the square and during the evening 
fre works and red fire made things 
look like the Fourth of July in the 
centre. After the polls closed a big 
parade was formed and, headed by the 
band, hundreds proceeded up towards 
West Manchester to Mr. Shaw’s 
house where the prospective senator 
was serenaded. 
From all over the county, where 
Mr. Shaw gained surprising victories 
in the selection of candidates favorable 
to his nomination, came Mr. Shaw’s 
friends and took part in the celebration. 
The caucus was called at 7.30 p.m. 
by Chairman Franklin K. Hooper of 
the town committee. Mr. Hooper 
was nominated by acclamation and 
Lyman W. Floyd was elected secre- 
tary by a unanimous vote. W. R. 
Bennett, An Ge Eloopenak: Go A len 
and P. A. Wheaton were appointed 
tellers. It was voted to keep the polls 
open from 7.45 to 9.15. 
During the evening four of the 
voters— Geo. F. Dyer, Richard J. 
Baker, Ralph G. Stanley and William 
Cronin — were challenged by Samuel 
Wheaton of the town committee, but 
all took oath they would support the 
delegates at the convention. 
It took the tellers almost an hour 
to count the votes, a complete an- 
nouncement of which is printed else- 
where. Franklin K. Hooper headed 
both tickets as one of the delegates to 
the State convention and he received 
263 votes, while Edwin P. Stanley, 
who was on both tickets as one of the 
delegates to the County convention, 
received 267 votes. 
The big surprise came in the an- 
nouncement of the vote for town com- 
mittee, when it was seen that the old 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
town committee, some of whom had 
served for 20 years, was thrown over. 
Only three of the former committee — 
Walter R_ Bell, W. W. Hoare and 
Joseph N. Lipman—who had sup- 
ported Mr. Shaw, were returned. 
William W. Hoare, who was on both 
tickets, polled the largest vote of the 
caucus, receiving 270 of the 273 votes 
cast. 3

*Twas Mr. Jim Shaw. 
(To the tune of Mr. Dooley.) 
Who was it that ran for Senator 
In the fall of nineteen five? 
Who was it that stirred up all the bees 
Around John Baker’s hive? 
Who was it that drove the “Cracker Man” 
Away back to his carts? 
And made him say, “I will spend my time 
At making cranberry tarts.” 
Chorus. 
’Twas Mr. Jim Shaw, ’twas Mr. Jim Shaw, 
The finest man the district ever knew. 
’Twas Mr. Jim Shaw, ’twas Mr. Jim Shaw, 
Hip, hip, hurrah for Mr. Jim Shaw. 
Who was it that broke the town machine 
That ran so cussed fast? 
That jumped the track and raised the 
euce, 
When their ballots had been passed. 
Who was it made them eat the crow 
They had prepared for him, 
The crow they had kept for twenty years? 
Why, it was Sunny Jim. 
Chorus. 
Who was it that stirred the chorus up, 
When the sextette tried to sing? 
The orchestra played to beat the band, 
But they could not do a thing, 
When Franklin trummed his A string loud, 
And Eddie tried to sing, 
And Sammie struck a cord or two 
And Lyman caught the ring? 
Chorus. 
Who is it that welcomes all the boys, 
Now that the thing is done? 
Who is it can smooth the whole thing out 
And make them all as one? 
Who is it that says to Ben and Chess, 
No feeling have I got. 
You’ve lost the game, ana I’m not vexed, 
For that is tommy rot. 
Chorus. 
TOBIAS.
