Nov. 17, 1911: Caucuses and Temple Tonight: Political Excitement Aplenty Assured this Evening for Marlborough Voters
Excitement should grow in clusters this Friday evening, when the city will be treated to considerable political activity. In addition to the regular Republican caucuses, which will take place in the various wards, Theodore Temple, farmer and ox cart candidate for mayor, will b on the hustings.
