The old bear 
Sees his shadow today 
It will be a cold day on March 5 
for some of the candidates for Town 
offices in Manchester. 
i 
Town meeting rumors are begin- 
ing to get in circulation in Manches- 
ter in spite of the fact that it is still 
some time away. About the only 
certainty which has developed during 
the past week is the announcement 
that Fred J. Merrill will be a candi- 
date for Town treasurer again this 
year. Rumor had it that Charles C. 
Dodge would be a candidate for 
selectman, but it is doubtful if Mr. 
Dodge will be able to give any time 
to town affairs this year on account 
of the illness of his brother. His 
friends are urging him to run. Pat- 
rick H. Boyle has definitely stated 
that he will be a candidate for select- 
man this spring and it is understood 
that George R. Dean will be a candi- 
date also. Two members of the pres- 
ent board will be candidates for re- 
election, it is understood, but F. G. 
Cheever will not be a candidate this 
year. Walter R. Bell and Lyman W. 
Floyd both seek the office of Town 
Clerk which will be vacated by the 
retirement of Alfred S. Jewett. It is 
said that Jeffrey S. Reed will be a 
candidate for Mr. Bell’s unexpired 
term as assessor in event of his resig- 
nation.

According to the Salem News 
Marblehead has secured the services 
of Frankie O’Leary, Manchester’s 
speedy third sacker. If this is true 
it will put a big dent in Manchester 
baseball prospects for 1917 for 
Frankie was one of the mainstays of 
the team. Some of the fans are be- 
ginning to get worried about the com- 
ing season. All of the towns in the 
vicinity are booking up their players 
for summer and the fans want to see 
Manchester go after some of the good 
men before they are snatched up. 
They feel it is up to the officers of the 
baseball association to call a meeting 
and elect a manager so that he will 
have a chance to pick something be- 
sides lemons. The Manchester fans 
have always been good to O’Leary 
and hate to see him get away from 
them. They are a bit worried over 
what might happen to the team if 
Mark Devlin, for instance, ‘was 
snapped up before Manchester got 
organized for business.
