PASSING THE CLOCK KIRK FIXED CITY HALL TIME PIECE AS AN ELECTRICIAN ACCOMODATION Who is responsible for the care of city, hall official clock? time this clock was seven minutes ahead at six p.m. on Sunday. Last night the lights that illuminate its faces were out. Then the fun started. The janitor disclaimed responsibility, due to the fact that he did not have the key to the clock towHe believed Kenneth A.

Kirk, er. electrician in charge of the city's fire and police alarm systems, should take care of things in the clock tower. Kirk was called. He said he was not responsible for the care of the clock. Nobody claimed that Wire Inspector Rosario Giguere was responsible but he was called, the same, and found to be out-of-town.

Supt. of Street Lights Alfred Lajoie, said it was not his job. He thought the janitor ought to do it. "But the janitor hasn't any someone suggested. "Then how can he fix it?" rejoined the superintendent of street lights.

Mayor Wiseman was appealed to. His impression was that Kirk was the man who fixed the clock. The evidence was against Electrician Kirk. Someone had seen him wind the clock in times past. He was asked if he would come down and see what ailed the clock lights.

Kirk came, replaced the broken fuze, which was responsible for the lights being put, and departed. Called at the conclusion of the affair he kindly stated that he did it as an accomodation, that he had done it in the past, as an accomodation. and that his regular duties did not include this work. As to having the key in his possession he said it was due to the fact that he had to go into the clock tower once a. week to inspect the bell there as a part of his signal work and trouble with mishievous boys in the past had necessitated locking the tower door.

"A high wind has considerable effect on the hands of the clock," explained this electrician. "In the course of a storm the wind is terrific up there. I have an idea that this accounts for a variation in time, especially during storm "But we must straighten out this clock the Mayor has said. "In future we must know, who is responsible. We will attend to it." LEAVITT CHAIRMAN County Commissioners Leavitt, Chipman and Vallee met at the County building, Auburn yesterday and organized.

Supporters of ex- Mayor Lemaire claim the tide is swinging to their candidate and that in a few days more the contest will be so one-sided that much of the interest in the pending mayoralty battle will have disappeared.

But Wiseman's- friends say such talk is all nonsense and promise to "start something" before the week is over. Opposition to Maliar There are Democrats in Ward Four who cannot understand why those who supported Alderman MaMar last year are now out working for his opponent, Mr. Murphy. And also they cannot understand why Alderman Maliar should cast his lot with the Wiseman faction, when he has always been with the antis. "It doesn't look right to me," said a Ward Four Franco American yesterday.

"From what I hear Alderman Mallar doesn't care for another term, but is just staying in to keep other candidates out. 80 that his friend Mr. Murphy will have no difficulty in getting the nomination. Of course such a scheme if it went through would insure at least one ward to the Wiseman forces. but, from what I hear, the Wiseman folks are going to put another candidate in the field to run against Murphy.

They figure that Maliar is slated for a place in the fire department, and that he isn't stuck on the alderman's job anyway." It has been suggested that a joint debate between Mayor Wiseman, Ex-Mayor Lemaire and Mr. Trembley be arranged as a pre-election, proceeds from the same to go toward the new high school building fund. A Lewiston man who has had some experience in managing large amusement enterprises stated that he believed such a debate, properly advertised would net a tidy sum." Alderman Goff almost reached the point yesterday of announcing his candidacy for another term. His friends are urging him to run again. The idea sort of appeals to him, but there are features about contest that he does not like.

However he still holds an open mind question and is just as likely as not to announce his candidacy today. His friends say that he can win easily and are reminding him of the old saying that a faint heart never won a fair lady. A Ward One voter speaking of the opposition to Mr. Breen in that ward, declares that long before election day, Mr. Breen will realize that the tide has turned, and that if he doesn't watch out he will be swept SO far out on the political sea that he will not recognize the old home town when he gets back.

"I see Frank Clark is back but 1 am told that he will make Ward One only a part -time this year," he said. may help Mr. Breen some, but not enough. I wonder if it is true that Alderman Luce said he would not run again unless Clarkie came back to help put him over. You remember Mr.

Luce banquetted the. boys last year. Well, it was a nice thing to do but it didn't help Roy Mower to get the shrievalty nomination. But that's all right Roy can run again if he wants to but I would suggest that he try the Republican course next time." Enrollment blanks are being distributed in the different wards to speed up the work when the board of registration opens its pre-municipal election session. One who attended the big meeting of the Union St.

Jean de Baptist in City Hall Sunday evening, said that Mayor Wiseman got more applause than was accorded Ex-Mayor Lemaire. "In view of the contest between these two for mayoralty nomination I think the great ovation which Mayor Wiseman received, compared the mild applause given to Mr. Lemaire, was very significant." The proposed new high school is still a subject of much discussion, but- not regarded as a political issue as all of the candidates and every body else favor it. Plante and Lemaire "Talk about gratitude" said a supporter of Mr. Leclair one of the candidates for the Democratic nomination in Ward Three, "I guess there isn't any such thing in politics.

Here is Alderman Plante out working as hard as he knows how to de- feat Mr. Leclair who so generously withdrew from the contest a year a ago, so that Alderman Plante could have another term. There is no question but that Leclair could have defeated Alderman. Plante had he cared to do so, but Mr. Plante felt so badiy when he heard that he was going to be opposed, that Mr.

Leclair would not oppose him. It was understood then Mr. Leclair this year. But no. He that Alderman Plante would support apparently has forgotten what Leclair did for him and is trying to elect ex-alderman Verreault.

Why Las Alderman Plante deserted Mr. Leclair and joined with the Verreault family? Will he tell the voters of Ward Three the real reason?" It is expected that a meeting of the Democratic city committee will be held this week to fix the date of the caucus and to decide whether there shall be a general mayoralty contest, separate from the ward contests, or that it shall be held simultaneously with the ward contests. There is a division of opinion. Some think the mayoralty contest should be determined on its merits, independent of the ward battles. There are others who feel that it should be held at the time of the ward caucuses.

Members and friends of the Wiseman administration met in the City Treasurer's office, Monday evening. This gathering was announced as one for organization prior to the meeting of the Democratic city committee I Thursday night. REP.
