Pawcatuck district was the first to re- port the result, 434 yes, 328 no, a ma- Jority of 106 in that district. Then came Stonington with a maljority of 89, and Mystic with 25, bringing the total majority of the three largest dis- tricts in the town up to 220. These figures do not include the vote in the Old Mystic and Road districts, whe: the total vote is about 100. Many voted for license in Pawcatuck, being of the opinion that so long as Wester- ly is in the damp column it is just as well for Pgwcatuck to be dry, as only what Rev. Dr. Horton recently termed the Bridge of Sighs connects the two villages, that are practically of one common interest. The returns were slow in coming in and as finally re- ceived showed that every district ex- cept Old Mystic favored license, and in that district only a majority of 2 was accorded for no-license. The ma- | jorities for license are: 106, Stonington 89, Mystic 25, Road district 8, bringing the total up to 206. While Pawcatuck voted for license, the district went strongty republican, the members of that party. to the num- ber of 388 voting the s t ticket, as-against 244 straight tickets, thereby starting off with majority of 139, with the beginning o the count of the 163 split lots. The total vote In the district was 789, or just one more than was cast in the important November election of 1914. It was early learned that the two republican candidates for selectmen ‘were eclected, with the straight repub- lican vote in Pawcatuck as the indl- cator, and the largest voting district in the town. In Stonington the vote was: Boulter, republican, 184; Gledhill, republican, 184; Chesebro, democrat. 20 Wallbridge, democrat, 18. In Mystic: Boulter 258, Gledhill 287, Chesebro 109, Walibridge 95. The totals in these two districts being: oBufter 442, Gledhill 471, Chesebro 309, Wall- bridge 280, Following is the vote for selecemen by districts: Boul- Gled- Chese- ter. hill bro.
