Tuesday's regular meeting of the Willimantic Women's club, which was heid at the club rooms at 3.45, was one of the most largely attended meetings the organization has heid in some time. A talk by Mrs. Lewis Rogers of Storrs on Home Life in Germany proved highly interesting. Mrs. Rogers was educated in Ger- many and has since spent considerable time there, her last visit being a couple of years ago. She spoke in an enter- taining manner of the life there and of the part that officialdom played in that country, relating many amusing inci- dents of its decrees. At this time, however, she stated that it had proved of high value to Germany, for while the allles had to spend considerable energy on the lookout for spies, Ger- many knew at once who was within her borders, and where they came Study Time When school starts it is just as important to provide your boy or girl with 2 quiet, inviting place to study, az to buy. them clcthes and books.

A 11 mill tax is being widely advocated, some even claiming that the town cannot meet its run- ning expenses on its present basis of doing business with less than 15 mills, if any effort is to be made to reduce the indebtedness. A 12 mill tax, such as has been laid for the past few vears, is not sufficient, many claim, DESERTED TO PROGRESSIVES. Democrats Thus Lost Election While Republican Piuralities Were Cut Down. The democrats in Killingly came in for a great deal of good-natured chaf- fing from members of Killingly’s two successful political parties Tuesday on account of the unprecedented trim- ming given them in Monday's ballot- ing, and took it with rare good grace. They feel they are due for a come- back in, the not distant future. There has never been a time in the town's history, however, when they have had such little representation. All they retain is two members of the town school committee, these hold-overs from last year's election, and two con- stables, these escaping the avalanche of Monday. Incidentally, the democrats owe much of their political discom- fiture to disloyalty on the part of members of their own party. Having a victory, in minority degree, within their grasp if they had but voted their tickets straight, they deserted in num- bers to the progressives, as did many republicans, and balloted themselves out the back door. They now occupy the strategic position from which they can “blame it on the other fellow” when management of town affairs is under consideration, for there are not enough democratic office holders left to blame anything on. The deserting democrats are not away to stay, they were telling Tuesday, when they be- gan to realize, as one man put it, that too much is plenty, The republicans retain the supre- macy in Killingly'’s Dbpolitical affairs, having elected their entire ticket, though by greatly reduced pluralities. Reviewing the incidents of Monday the leaders of all political parties here See another warm session just ahead, when the state election comes along next month. Anyone who cares to guess on the probable result may have at least one chance, TIRED OF DRUNKEN BUMS. Borough Citizens Voted No-License Because Disgusted with Daily Street | Sights. i Aside from all the talk one hears of political trades as the real cause why Killingly went no-license Monday, this talk being worth little or wothing, it may be set down as a fact that the license people are deeply disappointed, more so than usual when they have been defeated, and that the no-license forces are proportionately clated at having won out in a big contest that bore no positive promise of success. Men who have been voting license for the past three vears, it is very evi- dent ,turned the towh from wet to dry, They do not believe the no-license plan the right plan for the solution of the liquor problem, but they could not stand longer for the daily decoration of portions of the business section with a fringe of drunken bums. Where the blame for this rests need not be pointed out. No other town in this section does or would stand for it for any lenzth of time and not a few Danielson license men decided that this town had endured the condition long_enough. With policed could not have_existed, streets thls condit but 1o streets are not regularly policed. license men are not to be regarded as rough-necks or victims of debauchery. The great majority of them have an honest difference of opinion with the advocates of no-license, a. system which they regard as not sufficiently effective against the liquor problem. If liquor is to be sold, they prefer that the sale should be conducted under the license system in licensed places rather than in basements, cellars and out of hip pockets. These men re- spect themselves and others and it is for these reasons particularly, as may be ascertained by anyone who cares to make inquiries, that a sufficient num- ‘ber of license men, or nearly a suffi- cient number, decided they would no longer tolerate a condition under which the most degraded specimens cf hu- manity were allowed, in numbers, to infest what should be a clean busi- ness section, under licensse or no- license, and leer at respectable people who were put 16 shame by what they were obliged to witness. The villages in Killingly have also had their share of this trouble. It caused the same result. License men turned about and voted ‘“No” Monday. There need be no wailing over this. A majority of Killingly’s citizens, Ii- cense and no-license voters, will al- ways insist that the town preserve a decent showing of respectability. Those who disregard this fact must pay the penaity. Track Meet Postponed, Principal Robert K. Bennett of Kil- lingly High school announced Tuesday that the track meet planned for Fri- day of this week has been postponed a_week, owing to the fact that ome of the officials is to be out of town on that day. The meet will come Fri- day, October 16. Ernest Ross Warren of the high school faculty again has been select- ed as manager of the senior play, which will probably be given early in December. The senior class of the high school is to have its annual social on Hal- lowe’en and arrangements for the event are now being made. The social will be held in the assembly hall of the school, according to the arrange- ment that recently went into effect.

Judge Mann Not a Candidate, With the echoes of the town election only dying away. talk of the state elec- tion was taken up here Tuesday. Judge arry Mann, who has oeen men- tioned as a possible selection for rep- y _ntative by the democrats, says he will not be a candidate. Licerse Majority Decreased. Putnam’'s license majority, while heavy, did not approach the record of 1910, the last time the question was voted upon here and when the license forces won with a majority of 384. The last year in which the town voted 1;;_01311&30"3!)' favor of no-license was in Votss Lost Through Carelessness. The throwing out of 111 ballots ‘in Putnam in Monday’s election is an- other indication that many voters are very slow to learn about the proper use of the so-called new form of bal- lot. The mistakes made disfranchised about ten per cent. of the electors of the town for the day. Forty-siz of those who lost their votes did not put a mark of any kind on their ballots. A story of thrown out ballots comes from every town in the county. Motorcycle Colli with Automobile. John Smith of this city, whils rid- ing a motorcycle. was in collision with an automobile driven by Jesse Bottom- ley, near Stone’s corner, below Elm- ville, just after Tuesday noon, but escaped without serious injury. His machine was somewhat damaged, but it can be repaired at an expepse of about $20. One story told as to how _the smash came to occur is that Smith was riding along some distance behind a team in which Harley S. Place and Alcott D. Sayles, both of East Kil- lingly, were driving toward Elmville. When the Bottomley machine came along from the opposite direction Mr. Place’s horse became frighteneq and in trying to circle around it Mr, Smith came into head-on collision with the automobile, which was well over on its own side of the street. The affair did not result serlously for anyone concerned. Dayville’s Blind Turn a Menzen The extremely bad and blind turn in the highway near tuc we.. ¢ of the Labelle building in Dayville co: tinues to be a producer of automo- bile accidents. Two more collisions, practically alike have occurred there very recently. In one the motor de- livery of Myer Goldwater of Danielson and the runabout of Oswald Street of Dayville figured, the Street car com- ing around the turn from the Atta- waugan road. The other collision was between machines owned by M. Dia- mond of this city and Edward S. Keith of Eastford. The damage in both ac- cidents was not serious. The turn is one of the worst in eastern Connecti- cut, however. and should be approach- ed by every automobile owner with the greatest. possible precaution. Three Parties in Woodstock’s Town Board.
