If a soldier is killed after he has marked his ballot and mailed jt to the state secretary but before it is deposited in the ballot box in his home town will the vote count? Attorney General George E. Hinman of Willi- mantic said on Saturday that in his opinion the ballot would be thrown .lcut, as the process of voting is not completed until the ballot is finally put in the ballot box, and the vote of a man who is dead at the time he is legally supposed to be casting his vote would not be counted. The ques- tion was then brought up as to how the fact of death was to be establish- ed. The soldier voter might send his jballot on September 12 and be killed on October 15 and no notification of his death received until November 10, a week after his vote has been cast and counted. It was the attor- general's opinion that in such es the vote would have to stand mply because there is no way in vhich the particular ballo: cast for the dead man could be identified. At- torney General Hinman %aid that town officials should keep track of the casualties on their voting lists and be prepared to eliminate tite ballots of men who n, t ] B Sundays b are recorded as +dead t. 5 Lefore election day. pent Sunday at the Some hundreds of complications t Poquetanuck. and like cases can he hypothesized Riordan. spent Sunday at|from the soldier voting law, anc the drawbridge. : many of them will be left to the offi- Andrew Farrell and Thomas Dooley | Cials' in_the towrs for decision as no spent Sundav at Watch Hill. ¥ |state official can decide all questions Mr. William Delaney spent | Of eligibility to vote.

Several women of the “Y” auxiliary assisted by young ladies served the breakfast, and the presence of these put a distinct home touch to the af- fair. Just before the fellows left the tables Frederick W. Cary delivered a brief and helpful address which was loudly applauded. Mr. Cary said in part: “We are very glad to have you vxs&, our city, and we are also glad ave you enjoy these privileges at out how good the Falls Auto Paint Shop will paint your auto.
