Recelve Orders to Report—Firemen Plan Celebra- tion for Drafted Men—Celebrate 25th Wedding Annversary. Plainville entered the first line trenches of prohibition yesterday when the “drys” scored an over- whelming victory over the “wets” to the tune of a 319-276 in favor of the prohibition party. Although the vote polled during the day was small, only 640 exercising their right of suffrage members of the two parties wers busily engaged during the day round- ing up voters. When 5 o’clock came and the machines were about to be opened each party was confident of victory. With a crowd of breathless onlookers the machines wore opened by Custodian John Lamb. Moderator Freeman announced that the first ma- chine showed that 133 votes had been cast for license with only 128 votes aginst it. The hopes of the liquor men soared to the heavens but received a sudden jolt and were dashed to the ground when the figures wkich regis- tered on the second machine showed a majority of 54 in favor of the pro- hibitionists. Thus it was that after a fight for many vyears against liquor the no-license men finally won a de- cisive and clean cut victory. The license question was easily the big issue of the day and everywhere interest was manifest in a spirited battle which was being waged be- tween the advocates of the two par- ties. People in all walks of life argued the question pro and con and a, few days before election a few warm verbal battles were pitched in various places. A number of the citi- zens who were of the opinion that Plainville should go *“dry” or retain its license turned out with the sole purpose of voicing their opinion of the subject. In the neighborhood of 20 years ago Plainville entered the ‘‘dry” column following the example of New Britain which had gone ‘dry” the preceding year. The next year it swung back into the license column, the liquor men winning by a large majority. There it had remained ever since until’ through the organized ef- | forts of some of the prominent men in town coupled with the enlistment of several of the heads of manufac- turing concerns it was voted to in- definitely rid the town of John Bar- leycorn. - This morning dire predictions were heard as to what will happen to the town when the law goes into effect in November. The liquor men are still strong in spirit and are of the opin- ion that Plainville will suffer mater- jally during the ensuing year. They especially emphasize that it will hurt the manufacturers who will be unable to secure labor, the business interests of the town because the drinking man will secure his purchases where he buys his liquor and last but not least that there will be considerable boot- legging in the town after November 1. Advocates of no-license are of an entirely different opinion and prophesy that stringent measures will be taken and enforced to see that liquor is not sold in the town during the “dry” season. They also state that efforts will be made to cope successfully with those who go to New Britain, Bristol and other towns to secure their stim- ulants. One of the no-license agita- tors stated that any returning “drunks” after November 1 from neighboring cities should be immed- iately arrested and given a heavy jail sentence to avoid repetition of the occurence. Men who were behind the move- ment to place Plainville in the “dry" column assert that the move was not made with the sole idea of hav- ing prohibitive legislation but to clean up the center and rid it of a few drunks who are very much in evidence in that vicinity. During the year Plainville has had as many ar- rests as any town in the state of its size and it has been necessary to keep one policeman continually- on the lookout for offenders. It may be possible that when the center has been cleaned up that the town may at the next election re- cover its right to intoxicants. It all depends on what happens during the ensuing year. If Plainville suffers to any extent the town will surely swing back into the license column. If the residents and business men and man- ufacturing interests are satisfied with prevailing conditions prohibitive legis- lation will obtain. In the contest for First Selectman Johnson will remain as incumbent of that office for another year. It was a foregone conclusion that he would be the victor although some thought BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1917. . are chosen he polled the smallest vote. The popularity of Joseph N. Mc- Kernan, superintendent of the water works and a new entry into the local political field was attested to by the fact that he secured a sweeping vic- tory over Edward P. Prior.
