Tonight is expected to finish the pre-election activities. Both camps are sanguine of the re- sult of Monday's polls and each pre- dict a victory for their party. While nrost of the work has been done on a quiet basis, nevertheless personali- ties have been indulged in by both sides and to predict the result with any degree of accuracy would require the wisdom of the famed oracle of Delphi. object of the efforts of both parties, little or nothing having been done for the other places on the tickets. Sectionalism is playing a strong part in the working of the heelers, according to report. The republicans say that Judge Alling will win in a walk, while the prognosticators of the democrats see nothing to it but Beck- ley. A prominent member of the re- publican party said that if the people 5 they ! of Kensington are consistent, will cast their votes for the nomince of his party and gives the following reéason: “For the past few years at every town meeting, residents of Ken- sington have made it known that they sought to have a more representative voice in the town affai They called for the firgt selectmanship and it was known that the very men that called for a change were always loud in their praise for William H. Gibney Now our party deemed a change de sira and the leaders Judge Alling, in order to give the Kensingtonites the office they so long desired. So, if” they re consistent they will cast their ballots for him.” *When this was repeated to a prom- inent democrat, he replied’ “It certainly very licans, or rather the machine, to give Kensington its desire, but abso- Ifely refuse to have anything to do with that plan.

For Community Interest, That there will be a five day session !nf the national Chautauqua here next | suramer seems a certainty, according | to reports heard from a representative | of that association, A. M. Wecht. Mr. .Wecht spoke at a meeting following | the service at the Berlin Congregation- | al church, Thursday evening and con- | | siderable interest was aroused among | | those present He is now canvassing | in various parts of the town and is meeting with considerable success. The national Chautauqua has met | h success In every place so far visited. The association furnishes speakers of national prominence and | its meetings are educational as well as entertaining. Tt has always re- vived much community interest in various places. The session lasts five days and during that period is the | means of bringing citizens from dif- ferent parts of the town together and | making them better acquainted. One of its strongest features, according to the representative, is that it has much to do in getting rid of sectionalism. Suffragists Pleased. The members of the local suffrage party are extremely well pleased with the result of their efforts of their work at the Berlin Fair. According to | a report issued from the state head- Hartford, literature the amount of $80 was sold during the week. This was far in excess of | the amount sold at the Charter Oak fair, Aside from the pecuniary gain, the members feel that the interest of their movement enhanced by the dis- {tribution of literature, which when read by the townspeople, will have much to do with the final success of the movement. quarters at to Swedish Republicans Meet. | The Swedish Republican club met in the town court room last evening iand transacted a considegible amount . of business. President Adolph John- son presided and practlcally everx member was present. After the meet- ing, a social hour was enjoved, dru- | iing which refreshments were served. Supper a Success. Under the auspices of the Woman’s Ald society of the Berlin Congrega- i tional church, the first supper of the scason was held last evening, proved to be a success in The attendance was appro ,eighty. Although the elements raged | i without, the forethought of the com- mittee in charge of the‘affair was too for them. In decorating the | candles were placed on them | | slmply for decorative purposes, but | the wind blew a limb of a tree in front of the Jacobs place, and when it fell !it knocked down the wire and. as a ! result, the church was left in dark- ness.

London, Sept. 30, 1:40 p. m.—The “Summer time” calendar closes to- day, the last day on which the clocks will register time an hour ahead of the standard. Greenwich time will be restored at 3 o'clock to- morrow morning, this hour being selected as the least inconvenient to the railways, as the minimum num- ber of trains running on Sunday morning. It is estimated that at least three million clocks will have their hands set back in London alone. The daylight saving plan, intro- duced last spring by an act of parlia- ment is generally considered to have proved a success, even the farmers, who at first objected to it, having be- come reconciled to the innovation. However, the government has ap- pointed a committee to consider the social .and economic results, report whether it is advisable to repeat the experiment, what mddifications, if any, should be introduced and the time it should remain operative.

Voting Machine Petition In, Asking the selectmen to call a special town meeting to consider the question of purchasing voting ma- chines before the state election in No- vember, representatives of the men back of the movement this morning handed a petition for the session to Selectman Johnson. The petition bears the signatures of the number of voters which the law requires. The meeting will probably be held during the week of October 8.

Believing the danger of a spread of infantile paraly to be passed, Health Officer J. N. Bull today raised the quarantine from the home of C. H. Calor on West Main street. The house has been closed to callers for nearly six weeks, although Mr. and (Mrs. Calor were released several days ago after they had been fumigated, the health officer considering it un- necessary to keep them confined any lenger. Rhinehardt Zabel, the child who stricken with the disease, is now well on the road to recovery, and while the paralysis still remains in his limbs to some extent, the physicians are hopeful that he will escape being a cripple.

The town is to go prohibition or to retain its present status. There are many folk interested in the out- come. Bvery citizen who casts a vote, | bear well in mind certain evident fact. To begin with, property and busi- ness interests are at stake. The sltu- atlon here is different than in many places because of Plainville’s proximi- ty to neighboring cities where liquors are sold. And so, outside of changing | the ulterior complexion of things here, | and causing loss of property to those who conduct tHeir businesses under the law, the effect in morals upon the community will be nil and vold, | should town go dry. It requires but the expenditure of five cents in money and fifteen minutes in time for any man to reach a destination where wet goods are dispensed. Having es- sayed such a joyrney it is but plausi- ble that the traveller should remain somewhat longer in the companion- ship of wine than he would were he within easy reaching distance. It is an old axiom that men want most that which they cannot readily get. So in this case. Once the ban is put on the legal selling of liquid refreshments in this town there will immediately spring up a demand that may not be readily satiated. Journeying from Plainville will become the order of the day, or night, when occasions present themselves to make the trip incon- venient, the inevitable surreptitious habits will assert themselves and blind tigers and other clandestine meeting places will come into being. Under the present scheme of things the sale of liquors in Plainville is conducted according to regularly prescribed law written high on the statute books of Connecticut. The men in the business here respect these mandates to the | best of their ability, and pay licenses to the support of the state, the coun- ty, and the town. Under a different working order the police records may show a changed community. Down in Maine, a prohibition state, there is a little town somewhere like Plainville. A traveller upon alighting from the train there immediately went in search of liquid refreshment. He asked the first man he met where he could get a drink. The native after scrutinizing the stranger and be- ing satisfied with his examination, took the visitor de, pointed to a broken down shack on the main street and sald:—'You see that place there with the slanting roof? Well strang- er, that's the only place in this town where you can’t get a drink!" Plain- ville does not want to be that way.— Advt.

Closing the newspaper campaign in | the interests of a no-license Plain- ville one of the prohibition commit- signing himself as ‘‘Observer”, submitted the following for publica- tion teday: Mr. Editor: In the course of a trip last month in the state of Maine the writer spent some days in a town having the same population as Plainville, and in many ways presenting the same general aspect of community life. And he could not help instituting some com- parison between conditions as they exist in the two places with reference to the liquor traffic, and get some con- ception of what might easily be true in Plainville under no license. He saw there a qulet, orderly life, such as we have not known for years, and there was on every side evidence of the pride of the citizens in this fact, and a determination to maintain these conditions at any cost. Money would not hire this town to go back to the license system. This Is illustrative of conditions prevailing throughout the state. It s true some lquor is sold illegally, but it is but an inci- dent in the life of a sober, law-abid- ing people. The garbled reports in the press are as far as possible from rep- | resenting the actual facts. The peo- ple and the authorities of the state, in both the large and small places, are law-abiding and law-enforcing, ana they are determined that no other conditions shall prevail. The writer returned impressed with | the idea of what a fine place Plain- | ville would be to live in were the sa- | loon banished from our town. He is | convinced that ‘“ecitizen” in a recent | issue has, unintentionally no doubt, cast a slur upon the people of Plain- ville, in claiming that the law would not be enforced, and all sorts of evil would prevall. Surely we are not that | sort of people. There are enough men | here sternly determined to enforce the law could no license be secured, and what would it not add to the beauty and dignity, the quiet and safe- ty of our town. He does not know, and | does not care who was responsible for the recent ratds. Let this question carefully be considered: Under what possible extravagant conditions of no license could raids upon thirteen dif- | ferent places be' made In a single | morning, such as has been true under license? Furthermore the “blind t- gers” wrong and bad as they ~un- doubtedly are, minister to a very Mm- jted constituency of their own, and their evils are not to be compared to the blatant undisguised, unmitigat- ed deflance of everything pure and worthy and good of the open saloon “Citizen” leaves the question of rev- enue as ards the town out of ac- count indeed a small matter.
