Meets, Since it became krown that E. H. ¥ of East Berlin is not keen for ng the postmastership of that Histrict, vice Miss Gertrude North, gho recently tendered her resigna- on, there is considerable spc-ula- ion, not only there, but also in forthington as to what the postal epartment will do in the matter. ifss North has held the office for ome years, but her health forbids er continuing in the position. At rst, Mr. Gaines thought it would sork in very well with his other du- es In his general store, but lately it said his desire has grown very cold, b much so, that he only took the ex- migation required because he had ade an application for it. The office peing fourth class pays according to fhe cancellation and for the past few jears the salary was between $500 and 550, There are many residents of the listrict who are of the opinion that an fice in East Berlin is no longer de- rable and they favor the idea of be section being put on the rural ute from the Berlin office. With is in mind many are advocating the ppointment of Jullus Woodruff, re- bntly deposed from the Berlin job, en it was united with the Kensing- pn route. Mr. Woodruff served at capacity jiring that time covered approxi- ately 100,000 miles and the concen- g-of opinion is that he did his du- s in a commendable manner.

The com- pany intends to reclaim waste rags and paper and will employ about forty hands at the start of its opera- tions, Woodruff Will Not Run. A rumor which has been steadily gaining ground the past few days that Arthur Woodruff would run for present place on the school board in- dependently at the election Monday was spiked this morning when Mr. Woodruff absolutely refused to con- sider the proposition. It was said that a delegation of citizens had ap- proached him and asked him for per- mission to use his name, but Mr. Woodruff refused to confirm or deny | the tale. He said he was in no sense a candidate and made every effort to belittle his efforts on the board, but the remaining members of the board and many citizens stilk insist that he is too valuable for the board to lose. The political campaign seems to be growing warmer each succeeding day. It ie said that N. L. Beckley, the dem- ocratic nominee for selectman, made his first move last evening, when he buttonholed several voters in Ken- sington. Members of both parties are still confident of victory at the polls, a prominent republican saying this morning that Judge Alling will poll a majority from seventy-five to 100, while the democrat: that Mr. Beckley will be the victor, but are not predicting any figures on the result. Town rk Shaw received copies of the official ballott this morning from Secretary of State Charles Burnes. Th are two kinds, those used at the elections every vear, and the others simply containing the places for the school board, upon which matter the recently made suffragist voters will cast their ballots. Cemetery Association Meets. The annual meeting of the Wilcox Cemetery association was held at the W. Mildrum in East Ber- lin last evening. The report of the treasurer showed the financial condi- tion of the association to be excellent. A report was also received from the superintendent, H. L. Honiss. The members of the association feel that the cemetery is the best kept one of any village of its size in the entire country, and are extremely proud of the accomplishment. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follow: President—Major Frank L. Wilcox. Vice President—E. G. Morgan. Secretary—IE. W. Mildrum. Treasurer—Freder Hubbard. Auditor—R. O. Clark. Superintendent—H. L. Honi The need of a new fence was made known and a committee was appointed to look up the matter. ngers to Meet. The Berlin Grange will meet tonight at the new hall.

Never, knowingly, have we publishel an untruthful letter, or one without tho full and written consent of the woman who wrote it. ‘The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E.

T. Wheeler Announces He Will Not Accept Nomination FORMER RESIDENT IN PRISON Republicans Interested in Datest Po- litical Rally Day — Oommissioners Meet—Who Made Complaint? Developments—Plans for to Positive declaration by Frank T. Wheeler that because of business -a- tivities he will not seek the Repub- lican nomination for representative, and the entrance of Willlam J. Stmp- son in the fleld served today as the latest political morsel to whet the ap- petites of citizens interested in pre- election discussions. The withdrawal of Mr. Wheeler, while occasioning but little surprise, affords opportunities for speculation as to the probable action of the G. O. P. caucus, the indi- cations now pointing to a contest for the honor of representing the town in the legislature. The announcement of Mr. Simpson’s candidacy was not made until It was learned definitely that Mr. Wheeler would not consider the nomination for himself. For nearly a year Mr. Wheel- er's name has been persistently men- tioned in connection with the repub- licans’ selection and it has been gen- erally admitted that he could have the nomination by acclamation should he be willing to make the run. Mr. Wheeler is one of the town's leading citizens, an influential manu- facturer and a truly progressive resi- dent. He would make an ideal rep- resentative and had he seen fit to make the run on the republican ticket he would have the support of many democrats in addition to the full strength of his own party. That business conditions are such that his nomination seems out of the question is generally regarded as unfortunate. That he would not consider the place was the information which he personally gave last evening to friends who took up the matter with him and who subsequently told of Mr. Simpson’s candidacy. The latter had decided to keep out of a contest should Mr. Wheeler want the ndmin- ation and the announcement of his candidacy was consequently delayed until now. . Mr. Simpson has served the town in many capacities for a number of vears and has been a consclentlous worker. He is popular with the vot- ers of the town and will no doubt run well if the nomination is accord- ed him. He is a staunch republican dnd his friends in the G. O. P. will doubtless work energetically for him at the caucus. Tt was reported today that there will be other candidates in the race before the caucus is held. Mr. Simp- son has the advantage, however, of being the first in the field and is candidacy is expected to gain strength as the campaign progresses. Plan for Rally Day. Rev. J. W. Denton, the pastor, making arrangements for a rally day 1o be held in the Advent Christian ¢hurch next Sunday. Allan B. Hodges of Bristol, a singing evange- list, will be here for the day and will be in charge of the services. Commissioners to Meet. John B. Minor of this place; Judge Scott of Terryville and Judge Welch Southington, ccmmissioners ap- pointed by the probate court to con- sider the claim of Dr. J. C. Tanner against the estate of Frank S. Neal, will meet tomorrow to take actgm regarding the bill. Dr. Tanner's claim which was for 27 for 'services rendered to Mr. al was disallowed by the Plainville ust company, acting as executor, and the commissioners heard evi- dence concerning it Monday. A num- ber of witnesses were heard. Who Made Complaint? Speculation is rife as to the source of the complaints which resulted in the series of raids on “blind tigers,” made by the state police last Sunday and there are many disussions as to what effect the success of the officers will have on the license issue at Mon- day’s election.

The results of their activities showed the possibilities of the growth f “speak easies,” should the town put the saloons out of business and strengthened the argument that pro- hibition as applied to the liquo ilon is a misnomer and does anytihiug but prohibit. The liquor dealers deny that tf had anything to do with the com- plaints but they claim that the re- sults shows the true state of condi- tions, making it apparent that the town should pay more attention to the enforcement of laws already on the statutes before they attempt the creation of new ones. With the Itallans there is consid- erable bitterness because of the whole- sale arrests of their countrymen. They declare that had the men ar- rested had proper advice they would have retained council with the result that some of them would not be con- victed. Ignorance of the application of the law is advanced as the reason for their pleas of guilty. That some of the men in court made a business of Sunday selling without a license even for week-days has been gener- ally known for a long time although the local police apparently made no move to arrest them. With the others, friends say, a question might be vraised. G- Tn Mexican Prison. Information has reached here con- cerning the imprisonment in a Mex- ican prison of Howard L. Elton, who who a number of years ago was a resident of Plainville. Mr. Elton, who has been working as a mining engi- neer for many years in Mexico, is a son of the late Willlam L. Hlton, who was a professor of music in his day. He has & number of friends in Plain- ville. According to information secured by the state department, through the request of friends of the unfortunate engineer, Mr. Blton was arrested and sentenced to death for “‘alding the re- actionaries.” The sentenoce was com- muted, however, and he was given a term of twenty vears in prison. Mr. Elton is allegsed to have purchased ore stolen from a mine confiscated by the Carranza forces, his arrest re- sulting. His friends declare that he had no knowledge that ®.c ‘metal had been illegally taken from the mine. The state department has known of the case for months and Secretary Lansing advised relatives that care was taken to see that Mr. Elton had a fair trial. Pressure has since been brought to bear, however, and the case is to be further investigated. Mr. Elton is a former resident of Waterbury, where he lived for a num- ber of years after leaving Plainville. Relatives are attempting to get people acquainted with the family to com- municate with Secretary Lansing, asking that everything be done to bring about the man's release, provid- ing he is still alive, so many changes having taken place in Mexico since he was sent to prison, that no posi- tive information as.to his fate has as vet been obtained in this country. Argues Against License. Another series of arguments against the licensing of saloons, pre- pared by leaders of the ‘““drys,” are incorporated in a statement presented to the Herald today for publication. Tt follows: What Does Plainville get out of the saloon bhusiness? She gets between $1,300 and $1,400 per year in revenue. In order that she may get this, the patrons of the galoon pay about $33,- 500 over the saloon bar. Who gets the profit? The town of Plainville gets a shame- ful list of court cases. One has out to be a casual reader of this list to see where the large portion of these cases come from She gets a decreased property valua- tion and a lot of poor shacks n no-license movement were not con- | which to do business instead of good business blocks. Take a good look at our business center and then think, think until you act in such a way that you will think differently. She gets a black eye in the estima- tion of the surrounding country and of her respectable citizens. She puts a& premium on that which degrades instead of that which enobles. She places a higher valuation on the institution which pulls down instead of | those institutions that build up our | town. Go to the business men who are at the head of the manufacturing in- dustries of our village. These are the men to consult. They are the men who keep the town alive. Get their opinion of the saloon. They are the men who know what the saloon does for the village. ‘Who wants the saloon anyway? 1. The saloon keeper wants it, of course, he wants it. There's a reason! 2. The poor unfortunate fellow whom the saloon has robbed wants it. Ile wants it because he has been robbed of his better judgment and his powor of resistance and in place of this has been given an Insatiable appetite which he must gratify. 3. A oclass of voters who have been blinded by the two copper cents of revenue and can- not see the gold dollars of prosperity which would be In evidence if the sa- loon were knocked out of business. 4. A small bunch of small men who are afrald that their business will suf- fer if they vote no-license others who are afrald to thetr souls are their own fear that th| saloon keeper will step and clai them. In this list;you will find none whi consider the welfare of the communit] the question of paramount importanes This class of citizens always vot against the saloon. Who make th safest leaders, and the most desir] able citizens? The saloon men an their patrons -or those who seek thi best interests of their town and vill lage?
