Confusion in Ballots. There was some confusion among the .voters during the early hours of balloting at the town hall Monday by of the fact ly were 5 lots in that they bore the words “Yes” or “No” -and-the inscription “Official Ballot” on the reverse side. They were not of the same ¢olor, however. Never. theless some voters made the mistake of using -the constitutional amend- ment ballots in the license envelopes. The ideal weather helped swell the vote, for it allowed many old and in- firm persons and others in poor heaith to safely make the journey to the polls. Over 600 votes had been cast at 11.30, w] the polls had been open only 3 1-2 hours. “From the time that was taken in the booths by many vot- ers it was then evident that a great many split tickets were being voted, this being chiefly due to a desire to help favorite candidates for select- men, they being the center of the vot- ing contests of the day. ONE REPUBLICAN LOSES. Progressives . Elect First Selectman— Democrats Get Fine Vote—Killingly Votes for License, 729 Yes, 481 No. The republicans elected their . entire ticket; with the exception of Frank A. ‘Whipple, candidate for- gelectman, in Monday’s voting. The democrats, driv- en out of office last year by the pro- gressives, ‘made a fine showing and won back~the minority repretntation for town officers. The progressives only one man of their entire ticket, Louis E. Young, who was given a very fine vote and will be the finst selectman during the coming year. It Was necessary to recount the votes to determine who would have the posi- tion of selectman, it being finally an- nounced that the vote as indicating the g:‘gl’;e of the !;u elected for first se- an was Young 403, Giibert 394. Frank A. Whipple received 355 votes for selectman, Clayton Wright 282 and Alfred P. Burnes 344. F. P. Preston’s vote for town clerk ahd tréasurer was increased 276 votes over what he re- ceived in the republican column by his support from the progressives, The blg surprise of the day was the vote on the license question, the town go- ing 248 majority for license; which is & record for the town. The following were elected: publican—Assessor, Charles B, Hutchins 4 board of relief, for three Yyears, 'W. Irving Bullard 378; for two years, John H. Perry 400; fao one year, es N.

Not aii of those who voted in Put- nam Monday, as in other towns here- abouts, took the trouble to vote on the constitutional amendment relative to the mileage for members of the gen- erai assembly.. The matter was one that a great many did not understand about and onc about which others did not care, figuring they would never be members of the general assembly. Another Hard Luck Game. The game at Moosup Sunday when tnam, with Tesreau of the New York/ Glants pitching, was defeated, 1 to 0, was another one of the hard luck games that the local team dropped this season. Local fans do not attempt to detract in any way from the ability of the Moosupsteam to play good ball, but they sure have been not wholly unfortunate in the ?reak. in the games with the Putnam eam.
