New Hartford’s Anti-Drys Happy. The carrying of Hartford for license today is looked upon with much sat- isfaction by the anti-drys aiter their experience of last year, .The vote last year gave,license 179 and no-license 167, but the validity of the vote \was was questioned on the ground thag the notice of the vote on the question/ was not properly inserted in the call' and on the case being taken to the higher courts the illegality of the notice was sustained and the town remained dry for the coming year. In Chester, which was returned to the dry col- umn there was a large falling off in the vote for license over that of last year. Last year's vote for license was but 133 afirmative votes 'were cast. The no vote last vear was 149 and today 176.

From all the towns came rlporn of iliegal hallots being thrown out, and in some instances it had a marked effect on -the general result. - The strange- ness of the ballot also seemed to have the effect of making the veters cast a straight ballot, fearing to vote a split ticket. In Easton the republicans seemed to be the losers on that account, many of the democrats not wishing to run the chances of having their ballot thrown out for illegal marking.
