BARRE WILL
VOTE mo"
Present Indications Point to
Such a Result
ITALIANS ARE UNITED
Against "Yes' vote-Whl Vote mo"
or Not at AlI-Hoid Largely At
tended Meeting in Zanleoni
Block.

From prcseat appearances and outward
signs Barre will vote a'no1 at the com
ing March meeting on whether licenses
shall be granted for the sale Of intoxicat-
ing liquors in Barre the coming year.
There are several reasons for this ex.
pectation. not the least of which Is the
position Of the Italian colony. This part
of our community has been holding
meetings to discuss the matter, and as
a result of these meetings greater part
81 the colony win refrain from voting
on the question of granting licenses,
while those who do vote viii vote mo-
There may be few exceptions to this,
as those Italians who are looking for.
sard with the hope Of securng a license

YES, but in the great majority of
cases they will not vote at all. 81 ii
they do, ii win be mo"
a largely attended meeting of the
colony was held iii the Zanleoni block
on Granite street one night last week,
when the situation was discussed at
length. An adjournment was taken I'M
till last evening, when there was an even
larger attendance at the hall. there br
ing between 900 and 400 men there.
AZ this meeting d resolution was adopt
ed that the Italians of Barre refrain
from voting on the license question at
the coming March election. This was
carried by a large majority, but there
was a good minority who favored vot-
ing mo, All were opposed to voting
yes
The principal reasons for this action
on the part Of our Italian citizens Is
their disapproyaI Of many, especially
the Italians, who held licenses in 1908
and 1904. The activity OF these men
for license, because they expect to be
one Of the favored ones in securing
license if the city goes "yes,' only IN
creases their opposition. The colony
claims that these ex-licensees were noI
better than many another Italian in
the old prohibition days and the giving
theui q license 60 sell it by the carload
while some poor widow who sells q few
pints Of beer to help feed and clothe
her children is fined $500 or sent to

Best Year in city's History.

While the Italian colony will vote
mo- for reasons set forth above. many
Others will vote mo" this year because
they believe that the liquor laws have
been enforced more thoroughly this year
than for many years They believe the
states attorney and police have worked
hard and accomplished much and that
conditions have never in the history of
the city been So favorable and our CITY
so free from the evils OF strong drink as
they are today, and for this reason
many an advocate OF the present license
law will vote mo- this year because
they believe conditions in Barre have
been better under it than ever before.

l think that can read his own
obituary notice without a SILVER. For
moment lost my nerve. / cursed the moment
hatred of my present occupation and every
thing connected with it. l felt myself guilty
of this mans death. Guest listened to my
incoherent words gravely. When had finished
he laid his hand upon mine.
Gently, Courage" he said. AZ knew that
this must be shock to you; but you must not
lose your sense OF proportion. Think OF the
men who have sacrificed their lives for just
causes remember that you and to-day, and
each moment is not our last. Remember that
we are working to save our country from ruin,
to save Europe from war In which not one
life, but hundred thousand might perish.
Remember that you and l alone are struggling
to Illustrate the greatest, the most subtle the
most far reaching plot which the mind of man
ever conceived That poor fellow who lies out
on the Rockies, with bullet in his heart, is
only tiny link in the great chain-you or

You are right" l answered. Go on"

Walters Union, and the place itself is now
under our control. In that room at the Cafe
Suisse will be woven the final threads of the
great scheme. How are we to get there? How
are we to penetrate its secrets?"

And then there is the question of ourselves"
Guest continued. "We are both nominally
dead men, But none the less our friends leave
little to chance. You may not have noticed it,
