MANCHESTER’S CANDIDATE 
One Name, that of James F. Shaw, for Sen- 
ator, on the Ticket this Year 
On the ballot to be used at the 
election next Tuesday there is the 
name of one man from Manchester,— 
James F. Shaw, who is the Republican 
JAMES F. SHAW 
candidate for the State Senate. If 
elected Mr. Shaw will be the first 
Manchester man in the senate for the 
past 22 years. It is therefore to be 
expected that the Manchester voters 
will turn out in full force next Tues- 
day and give Mr. Shaw a big vote. 
Hon. William H. Tappan was the 
last Manchester man in the Senate, 
though he was not sent there as the 
regular representative of this town. 
Mr. Tappan went as Rockport’s man, 
soto speak. It was Rockport’s “turn ”’ 
according to the arrangement of 
things. When the convention come 
together the Rockport delegates were 
undecided between two men and when 
neither would assent to the proposing 
of the other’s name, Wm. H. Tappan 
of Manchester was decided upon and 
he was elected to the office. 
It was the late Charles Fitz who 
last represented Manchester as the 
town’s recognized representative about 
MANCHESTER, 
MASS., SATURDAY, NOV. 3, 1906 
24 Pages. Three Cents 
29 years ago, so that Mr. Shaw will be 
really the first senator since ’78, or 
thereabouts. 
Last year Mr. Shaw was defeated 
for the office by Geo. A. Schofield of 
Ipswich, who is now Cong. Gardner’s 
opponent. Mr. Shaw’s friends are 
looking for a big Republican vote for 
their man this year.

of the Club to be Resumed 
A business meeting of the Wednes-

The meetings which have been held 
monthly the past two years, when at- 
tractive programs of a literary and 
musical nature were carried out, will 
be continued and the first meeting 
this year will probably be the latter 
part of this month.

were elected f ~**> ve--, as follows: 
Dw Lun 1. Beaton, president ; Alex- 
ander Robertson, vice president ; 
Albert Cunningham, secretary; W 
W. Hoare, treasurer. These four, 
with Fred J. Merrill, Hollis L. 
Roberts and George S. Sinnicks com- 
pose the executive committee.

regular exhibitors, will be held at the 
Beverly City hall on Dec. 18, 19, 20 
and 21. There are 10 champion sil- 
ver cups, 200 special prices and liberal 
cash premiums offered. The show 
this year is being looked forward to 
with keen anticipation, and it will

sociation in this line. 
COMMUNICATIONS 
Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
To all who love the simple unvar- 
nished facts in politics as well as in 
other matters, I would earnestly 
commend a perusal of the facts in 
this Gardner-Schofield contest. 
The facts are eloquent and deeply 
valuable at this time when so much 
that is merely superficial is abroad.
