Plainville News JOHN NORTON DIES N HIS 92ND YEAR Plainville’s “Grand 0ld Man” Succumbs to Ilness TOWN STXY—S*REPUBLIGAN Town's Oldest Voter Passes Away— Plainville Returns Pluralities For G. 0. P. Candidates—Fustice Elect- ed in Plymouth—Other Matters. John Calvin Norton, popularly known as Plainville's grand old man, died yesterday afternoon at the home of Charles C. Seymour on East Main street after an illness from ailments incident to advanced age which ex- tended over a period of several weeks, Mr. Norton had been in a critical condition for a number of days and his death had been expected since Sunday. Funeral arrangements have not as vet been completed but it 1s expected that the services will be held Friday afternoon. Mr. Norton was Plainville’s oldest man. He was in his ninety-second year. (A resident of this town for a great many years, Mr. Norton became one of its best known citizens. He was held in high esteem by the entire community and for a decade had been lovingly called Plainville’s grand old man. He had been retired from business pursuits for a number of years and became a familiar figure about the streets as he trudged along dally greeting his friends and visiting the stores. He had a long and in- teresting career and his reminiscences which he freely gave were a source of considerable entertainment with people who came in contact with him. He was a native of Boston but had made his home in Connecticut since his boyhood days. He was a mechanic by trade and was regarded as a skilled workman. In his early life Mr. Norton was a strong abolu- tionist and he oftep told of having hidden negroes escaping from their masters in the south. He was a re- publican in politics but never took an active pert in contests for office. Mr. Norton was an earnest student and a great reader. Since his retire- ment from business he spent consid- erable time discussing favorite au- thors and their works and he often entertained his friends by reciting poetry. He was president of the Old Men's association and was a prominent figure at its annual gatherings for a number of years, His wife died a few vears ago and he has since made his home with Mr. Seymour. Two sons, Charles H. Nor- ton of Worcester and Wendell C. Nor- ton of Torrington, survive him. Sticks to Republicans. Plainville again registered its be- lief in the republican party and fits candidates in the election vesterday, returning a plurality for all the G. O. P. nominees. Wilson showed con- siderable strength in the town, how- ever, and the usual republican plu- rality was substantially reduced. Al. though seemingly not a great deal of work done in his interests by the re- bublican leaders. William J. Simpson was eleoted rep- resentative, defeating Alfred D. Cady, his democratic opponent, by 77 votes. The machines used vesterday for the first time as an experiment were pronounced a success, and when the voters meet on November 20 to decide whether they will keep them perma- nently it is likely that the appropria- tion necessary for their purchase will e made The result locally was as follows: Presidential Electors.

The . session will be held at 7:15 o’clock | and all new members are urged to business MAY YET LEGALIZE POLYGAMY ABROAD Central Powers Considering Plan: of Re-populating Country | (Correspondence of the Asso. Press). Vienna, Oct. 22.—Whether or not Europe will be obliged to change its marriage laws as the result of the war. is a question which has recently oc- . cupied sociologists in the Central [ states. Most of them are of the opin- {ion that material modifications must | ensue; a few think that legalized polygamy must be established in or- der to provide for the surplus of wo- men which two years of warfare has made one of the problems of all Bu- rope. The total population of the states a. war, the non-Arian elements of Russla excepted, is roughly 373,000,- 1000 of which, according to best | sources, 188,000,000 are women and 185,000,000 men. For the countries of Europe where exact statistics are available, the proportion is 105 males to 107 females. For Europe this leaves in normal times an excess of three million females of which num- ber a third would be marriageable. To this mlilion of women who at present can find no husband for the reason that nature, while ensuring an excess in the birth of males permits more of them to die In infancy, will be added at least eight millions whom death on the battlefield and incapaci- tating - wounds has also deprived of mates. Burope, therefore, is face to | face with the question of how these nine million women are to be cared | for, Economically the problem has been solved by the women tHWemselves by showing that in many departments of industry they are able to fill a place. | But sociologists point out that, except ! the state makes provisions tending to | avert this, a certaln natural law would increase greatly the rate of il- legitimacy of children, which even now is a serious matter. At the conclusion of Years' War, similar con@itions pre- vailed. It was met in many of the Central European states by making polygamy legal. When the propor- tion of males and fcmales had been | readjusted by the coming of later generations these laws were repealed. For the time being the European | parliaments are too occupied with | h Thirty | pean legislatures will | several matters affecting the continuation the war, but expressions on the sul ject agree that some sort of legisl tlon will be necessary. Several writers point out that will take two generations before ti old social equilibrium is re-establish The tendency of men to marry wot en younger than they themselves a is held responsible for this. Usua the man marries a woman from thi to flve years his junior, and so authorities fear that greater chold which the excess of women will gi will decidedly foster this inclinatio so that only the girl who today from twelve to thirteen years old cd hope to be the subject of competitig among men which her mother was, This would be a matter of onl seven to eight years for most of Bi rope; provided the end of the wi comes soon. Should the war cof tinue another year or two and cause the loss of many young m who are now from fifteen to sixteel years old the problem would be mue} harder to meet. In that case the ex| cess of women over men would be 1| le than eleven millions, so that fo eve male of marriage age, duri the next ten years, there would H almost two single women. It is impossible to say just how Burol meet the situal tion. Legal polygamy so unwell come to Europe's s system, and religion that opposition to it will b great. The belief is held, for thi reason, that legally at least illegiti macy will be abolished and that lawi will be passed giving the child born out of wedlock cvery ri upon thd care and property of its her.
