BRANFORD ALL AGOG
Saloonkeopers Have Found Q Flaw in Anti Liquor
 Vote.
ASK LICENSE RENEWAL
First seleCtman Osborn Hlghly ludlg- nant Over tho situation and
 Will Contest

That the saloonkeepers In Rranford are not going to take the election held there last week aq their Hlgnal to raa tire i7 shown by their latest action In seeking to have their licenses renewed for the coming year. According to the towns vote that there ho no li- cenae, this move would seem to bo contrary to law, but the saloon side have several lttla points that they think will invaldato the vote.
 They base their action on a section of tho state statutes that declares that when my number of voters desire tho question of licensing tho liquor traffic to become an issue in any election, they must petition the selectmon at least i2 days prior to this election, and that their. petition must be signed by at least 25 legal voters of the town, The no-license crowd over in Bran ford had 26 names on their petition, but the saloonmen now say two of tho petitioners were not legal voters, and that the petition was not filed till If days before the election, and hence for these two reasons Is void. If the petition Is void. so is the election. and .therefore tho saloonmen arc petition ing as usual for renewal of their IT, censes.
 First selectman Sidney Y, osborn was highly indignant over the pro- posed move of tho saloonkeepers On this score he said: q do not know whether tho saloon element arc going ito do 1t. or not, but have heard many 'rumors that they intend to act in con- , tradiction of tho will of tho people. iA T think they might be able to do Something on a tenhnicaitv. What they say about the voters is not so, as 2s.out of the 26 who signed the pct- flon voted at the election.
 The petition was made out early enough but was not handed in until the eleventh day before the election,
 There may be some question az to right in this, but the will of the people was plainly shown in the election and the saloon element will do well to re- gard it. They will get no benefit in the long run if they don't, The select. men certainly will do something n this but l cant say what as yet
 If the saloonlSeepers win in this they will probably be able to keep running until another election is held next fall anyway. l}ranford promises to he filled with excitement until Inc question is settled.
 Matthew E.. O'Brien of Bridgeport nominee of tho prohibition party for governor, and who was active at the state house during the last general as- semhly, makes this statement in re- gard to the Branford situation. The supreme court If errors Of Connecti- cut has determined that the county commissioners cannot 20 behind or inquire into the returns of towns on the question of license, SO that the saloon men in Branford will have tc close the doors of their saloons on the last day of tho license year.

county commissioners cannot accept tho applications of these licensees for a renewal of their licenses, Tho town of Branfor1 was declared by the mod orator to haFo gone no license and that decision caupot be attacked be- fore tho county commissioners, lf there wna an error in the petition of tho no license people for a vote upon the question tho proper time to have attacked thia was before the election Was held

The monument to Francis Mackenzie,
the chief founder of organized presby-
terry in America, was unveiled near his
last resting place on Holden's Creek on
Thursday, under the auspices OF the
Presbyterian Historical Society and IN
the presence of happy throng OF nj
teen hundred people or more assembled
to honor his memory. The day was an
ideal one and the ceremonies incident to
the occasion were in every way worthy
of the great denomination to which he
belonged. 1t was not, though, altogether
a PRESBYTERIAN day. Christians of every
denomination were present and the
memory of one who had wrought so
well for his church was no less sacred
to them. AS one Of the speakers SAD
on the day, Christian people OF every
creed had the right to claim an inter-
est in the great work done by HIM and
all would take delight in perpetuatlng
his good deeds and in paying tribute TO
his memory. The people of the Eastern
Shore are especially favored in having
a monument to him erected in their
midst. commemorative of his many VIZ
tues and the undying fame he won toi
himself as one of the great Christian
leaders of the world. The order OF eX-
ercises for the most part was in aecor-
dance with those published in other
columns of this paper.

vices of the chieftain of the Confed-
eracy to the Lost Cause" All Vir-
ginians, true to the principles which
actuated him and the other heroes of
the South in the great conflict between
the States, of course, will be glad of
the opportunity in one day of each year
in paying this tribute of respect to him.

Lieutenant Governor ]. Taylor Ely
son. chairman of the State Democratic
Committee, is strongly in favor Of MAIN
tanning the party primary system IN
Virginia and the Times-Dispatch says;
HAS given a body-blow to the Oft
repeated charge thet primaries are
prohibitively expensive. According to
the statement of Chairman Ellyson,
it appears, it cost the candidates

eral, S21O. so; State Treasurer, Sl26.59;
the Secretary of the Commonwealth, the
Commissioner of Agriculture and Super
intendent of Public Instruction each
paid less than SS5, and the Lieutenant
Governor paid less than S43. "
The present primary system Of course
is not without defects, but they should
be remedied, instead of going back to the
old methods of nominating by conven-
tons and thus placing ourselves abso-
lutely in the hands of the bosses. Mr.
Ellyson, doubtless, voices the sentiment
of the great body of the people OF Vlr'
ginia in saying: Il am in favor OF

for any other notifications of the plar

The Governors of nearly every State
in the Union, together with several
more of the most distinguished men Of
the country, upon invitation of the
Pesident, met in the White House, on
Wednesday for a conference in regard
to the conservation of the natural re-
sources of the country. The meeting
will, probably, result in permanent
organization and an annual conference
of representative men of all the States
at the National Capitol. The President,
of course, was the central figure in the
proceedings and "builded better than
he thought" if as predicted, these
meetings will cement the States
together for united action in their own
sphere-that Of the powers reserved to
them under the Constitution-and will
do away with temptations for Federal
encroachment.
