An anonymous Bristol reader declares disapproval of the current Republican "machine" tactics in a town caucus. He criticizes two-ballot plots, disenfranchisement of nonmachine voters, and irregular ballot sizes, urging support for Mr. Church and condemning Mr. Hammill.
Letter to the editor questions if democracy is dead in Bristol and asks what stance Mr. Church will take as Representative. The writer doubts his loyalty to Brayton and the Democrats, wondering if he will align with Republicans or betray Democratic support. The old Democrat voter refuses to vote Republican.
In a terse exchange Brown asks about his wife reacting to his lateness. Jonesa replies she said nothing and simply sat down at the piano to play a hymn, “Tell Me the Old, Old Story.”
The Bristol Republican Town Committee explains its process to filter eligible voters for the party caucus. It notes inviting twenty five Republicans for input, eliminating Democrats and independents who voted in both caucuses, and aims to ensure clean political rules before the March town officers election.
An old time Republican writes of a calm pre election mood while denouncing the new Caucus Law and tactics by Car pet Baggers. He notes Stephen St Church, defeated by four votes last spring, now nominated by Democrats and urges Republicans to unite for his victory. The writer predicts a brief but vigorous campaign focused on solid work and loyalty to Republican fathers.
