CONNECTICUT TOWN ELECTIONS.
THE RETURNS SHOW SURPRISING REPUBLICAN
GAINS-voTEs FOR NO LICENSE


Hartford, Conn., Oct. (SpeciaD.-The little town
elections in the State showed surprising Repuoli-
can gain and an equally surprising gain In the
number OF no-cense towns. The Republicans dld nos
in any town in the State make any special effort
to bring out a vote In this town the election was
very quiet indeed, less than one-third OF the vote
being cast II forty more Republicans had voted.
however. the town clerkshp would have been cap
tured and John r. Higgins, who has been the offi-
cal for many years. would have had TO retire. he
did not expect so close a run. but it was he was
elected by Republican votes, many OF whom are al
ways cast for him because of his personal popu-
larty A majority OF the school officials elected
were Republicans. and for this the women voters
are in no small degree responsible.
The no-license vote in many OF the towns Is d.
rectly attributable TO the action OF the new boards
OF County Commissioners. In nearly every town
where there was a change from license to no H.
cense the Republican boards which retired In July
had refused 10 grant licenses where remonstfants
had pressed their cause. and where the location OF
the proposed saloon the character OF the appli-
cant was doubtful When the Democratic boards
came in they granted licenses to nearly all the re-
jected applicants.
New accommodations for the High School will be
greatly needed in the near future. so rapidly has
II outgrown the accommodations OF the present
building. which is comparatively new. The town
has recently voted after recommendation OF
special committee buy the property just north OF
the school for $4,000. and thus provide lot suita
Bile for an addition the building whenever it shall
be deemed necessary At the annual town meet
ing when business OF the town is to be considered
there will be the usual attempt 10 consolidate the
school districts into one with a central board OK
times past. The individual holdings OF the districts
varying much in value the tax rate running
from one mill and half TO eight mills, VIII prevent
any coalition.
