The political situation in Manches- 
ter is beginning to shape itself for the 
usual ante-Town meeting upheaval. 
No new candidates have appeared in 
the field for the selectmen’s offices 
during the past week, although an- 
other week remains before nomina- 
tions close. The present candidates 
are Chairman Knight and Selectman 
Samuel L. Wheaton, of the present 
board, George R. Dean, B. S. Bullock 
and Patrick H. Boyle. F. G. Cheever 
of this year’s board is not a candidate 
for reelection. The fight for asses- 
sor for one year to fill the vacancy 
caused by the resignation of W. R. 
Bell promises to be an interesting one. 
Jeffrey S: Reed and F. Clifford Rand 
are out for the job. Another spirited 
contest is looked for between Lyman 
W. Floyd, former selectmen and as- 
sistant Town Clerk, and Walter R. 
Bell, former selectman and assessor, 
for the office of Town Clerk, left va- 
cant. by the retirement of the veteran 
official, Alfred S. Jewett. Fred J. 
Merrill is a candidate for Town 
Treasurer, for which office he re- 
ceived a large vote last year, and 
Town Treasurer E. P. Stanley is a 
candidate for reelection. Aside from 
the expired term on the park board 
for which Alex. Sjorlund, William 
Till and Ralph P. Young are candi- 
dates, the other officers whose terms 
expire are unopposed for reelection. 
Manchester, Mass. 
Charles E. Bell almost became a 
candidate for election to the vacancy 
on the park board of Manchester last 
week. Friends circulated nomination 
papers in his behalf, but when he dis- 
covered the fact he ordered their 
withdrawal. ‘Charles thinks trouble 
is easy enough to find without court- 
ing it.

One of the important items of 
news to be recorded for yesterday, in 
Manchester was the arrival of the 
heavy motor truck loaded with groc- 
eries for the O’Keefe store. Nothing 
unusual to be sure, to see a heavy 
truck passing through Manchester,— 
but this particular truck has the name 
of being a little wild.. For instance 
in one of its wild capers it dashed 
into the Postoffice and incidentally 
knocked away the whole corner of 
the building. It was amusing to see 
people giving it a wide berth yester- 
day noon as it crawled up the hill on 
low speed. The driver takes no more 
chances. He goes to the top of the 
hill now, turns around and comes 
back again and swings up against the 
curb before stopping.

The sight of a man walking on the 
ice across Manchester harbor to 
Smith’s Point, and across from 
Smith’s Point to Tuck’s Point, is 
somewhat unusual. Only once in six 
or seven years is it sufficiently cold 
to freeze the harbor enough to per- 
rut this. The severe cold weather 
the past week made this possible, 
however.
