That local temperance workers are | dissatistied with the “wet” regime of | the past year and are determined to | wipe it out at the election this fall | by making a united stand against the liquor dealers and their friends, by | Pvhom they were defeated by a large majority last year, is now definitely | known with the appearance of a peti- | tion asking for a vote on the ques- | tion. The petition, which originated in Kensington and which is headed with | the signature-of one of the town’s | most prominent temperance dd\ocdlt‘s] is being circulated in that community eery rapidly and a large number of names are being added daily. In the course of a few weeks it will be pre- | sented to the board of selectmen, | which will then be obliged to place the order for a vote in the call for the annual town meeting. For the sake of expediency a few dther petitions are - being drawn up and will be circulated in the other | districts ol the town. They read tollows: “We, the undersigned, registered | voters of the town of Berlin, Con- necticut, respectifully ask that a call for a ballot to decide whether person shall be licensed to seil spirit- #ous and intoxicating liquors in said town of Berlin, shall be included in the call for the annual town meeting this yea In accordance with the laws of the state of Connecticut, if a vote on the liquor question desired by either ,taction, it is ne ary to have at least ten per cent. of the voters of the Apwn, sign the above petition. There are about 300 re ed vote: in the tgwn and about 3,800 inhabitants. Last year, it was the on men and their supporters who handed petitions to the sel the town was “dry” 1913. They.did much h élection time and pire town was cany summer and early fall. This preliminary work had it tended t ts also for, v lots were counted when th closed, it was found ti the had gone “license” by the overy ing majority of 108 votes, 344 having been cast for ‘“license” ‘and 286 _for a continuation of the ‘“dry” regime.

There was con- siderable opposition when some of them made application to the county commissioners for licenses and one man who had applied for a permit to well intoxicating liquors felt obliged to withdraw. Dance in New Factor Notices were posted at the Ameri- | can Paper Goods plant in Kensington today inViting all the employes, both those of the office and of the factory, { to a social and dance which is to be held on the top floor of the new ad- dition on Wednesday evening of next | week, this to be a formal opening up of the iarge new plant which is now nearing completion, President Louis Reynal is authority for a statement to the effect that op- erations will be started in the new building about the first of next ! month. Several of the departments old factory which have been quite congested, heretofore, will be into the commodious quar- ters, which will facilitate the hand- ling of larger orders in less time. Mr. Reynal stated this morning that he could not tell, at this time, whether or not the company will hire any more help with the opening of the new addition. Despite the fact that many fac- tories throughout the state have been obliged to go on shorter hours owing to a depression in their busi- ness,. this local factory maintains no need to lay off any of its help The concern is kept quite busy with gov- ernment work and, during the past month, some of the departments have been obliged to work overtime. ‘Was Slasher in Berlin? If Constable John Hackett knew | vesterday what he learned this morn- |ing there would, undoubtedly, have been a boarder in the town lockup | last night. He is inclined to think that the Italian who went about town vesterday, particularly in the Ttali ’aelllomemq begging money, was a man who is wanted by the Hoboken, | N. J., police for having stabbed a man | in that city Thursday. The constable was suspicious of the | beggar when he saw him vesterday. | He noticed, at that time, that he car. ! ried a pawn ticket from a Hohoken “hock shop.” which he seemed careful ahont displaying.

Deputy Sheriff James Clark said to- day that he saw twenty-one young men stealing rides on freight trains, in a short time that he spent last cvening at the Berlin passenger station. The majority of them ap- reared to be of higher rank than the ordinary “bums,” he said, and some were dressed neatly. He was able to catch five of the travelers and, after lecturing them, re- leased them with a warning to keep off of rallroad property. Some of the young men in explain- ing their action to the officer, said they felt obliged to steal rides on the feeight trains, explaining that, to live, it was for them to reach some city here they could secure em- ploy: monl they having been laid off in factories during the past few weeks on account of the poor business con- tiens, The sheriff experienced, and he knew that the youngsters were tell- ing the truth. He sympathized with them, but was obliged to lay down the law to them and warn them of the comequenc! f they failed to abide.

There are few Italians recognized as democrats the present time and this fall the committee expects to win over a num- ber of them. ‘While the committee has not as yet made any definite plans for the caucus for the nomination of candi- dates for town officers, Chairman Norton said today that the members are hopeful of getting William Ea on’s consent to the placing of his name on the ballot as the party’s choice for first selectman. The com- mittee believes that he is the strong- est democrat available and with a possible split in the republican ranks due to the contest between George S. Babcock and Selectman Johnson, his chances of election appear to be bright. Mr. Eaton is the democratic repre- sentative on the Strong fund dis- bursement committee.

No Progressive Ticket. According ‘to William Fox, chair- man of the progressive town commit- | tee, local progressives will not have a ticket in the field at the October elec- tion. Mr. has at this time no special desire to break into town affairs and will not name any candidates. The members have terminated their connection with other parties, however, and in the coming election will support the in- dividual candidates rather than the party they represent. Mr. Fox this afternoon filed Town Clerk Usher the initial en- rollment list of the progressive party | asked to have the list for of Plainville and registrars prepare a check caucus use. The any party polling over ten per of the vote at the last election may have m caucus list prepared by the registrars if the list is filed with the town clerk in time. This is the last | date allowed by the statute. While there were less than seventy- five names on the list filed with the clerk today, Mr. Fox claimed that the town has close to two hundred pro- gressives. - A number of the voters, he declared, whose sympathies are with the party which Roosevelt creat- ed, are property -owners In town and are naturally interested in the selec- tion of a selectman as well as other local officials. Consequently they are desirous of taking part in the repub- lican caucus and for that reason put off unti] after making formal registra- tion as bull moosers. At the November election the pro- gressi intend party has galned sufficient strensti, locally, to warrant the prediction that | both the republicans and democrats are liable to be disappointed in the se- ! lection of a representative to the gen- eral assembly. None of them care to say whether anyone is being groomed for the place or not, but they are tak- ing a most optimistic view of the sit- uation and have strong hopes of win- ning.
