observation-disclosures Voted.
WEST HAVEN, Oct. 4-Orange elected |
majority of Democratic selectmen to day for |
be first time in many years. This is con-
idered to be clearly owing to the prohibit !
ion vote, which. though only twentythree, |
eventeen of which were in Orange Center, |

eddled no license tickets in the building in

tedious job counting the latter owing to

harles T. Sherman, D., for first, Charles F.
NTH, D., for second and Ell. Treat, R., for

1blican ticket with very few minor ex-
options was elected. There were eighteen
