SECOND EMANCIPATION
Predicted by Rev. r. c. Miller.

There was a temperance mass meet
ing in Firms Opera house Sunday eve
ming. There was singing by the audi
ence and cornet solo by Joseph La
bonnie of Danielson. Rev. E. w. Pot
ter acted as chairman and introduced
Rennett c. Miller. a fine temperance
orator. Mr.. Miller began by describ-
ing graphically the landing of the first
load of slaves at jamestown. Va. in
1919, and then followed it to the civil
war Next he pictured the beginning
of our second slavery. the liquor traf-
fic. This, like slavery, has now grown
to gigantic proportions. He spoke in
part as follows:
/ hear some one say. 1.-THE town
needs the money Does it? Is that
the motive? Then why not give a Ii
cense to the gambling den. the opium
Joint and the house of i'll fame? l
would as soon have one of them
around as the average saloon. They
will gladly pay you the license. In
fact the saloon prepares for and
makes business for the others in thou
sands of cases-alas, they are often
Joined.
Horace Greeley truly said: ITO sell
rum for q livelihood is bad enough, but
for whole community to share the
responsibility and guilt of such traf-
fic (the license laWs) seems a worse
bargain than Eve or Judas" And in
1874 the young, conscientious Hon.
William Mckinley said, "By legalizing
this traffic. we agree to share with the
liquor sellers the responsibilities of
this business, Every man who votes
for license becomes of necessity a
partner to the liquor traffic and all
it consequences.
The average yearly increase of debt
in JeWett City under license for ten
years (1s97-19Os) was $4,000. The last
two years under no-license it was only
S544.
The average poor expenses of Jewett
City for ten years from 1897 to 1907
was about 81 400 a, year. The last two
years under no-license it has averaged
less than $500. But let all be said
that may, this second emancipation is
coming, and nothing can stop il!

The three hundred odd baseball fans
who took the opportunity to go to

Rockville players in the visitors line

} THE AUTO IN POLITICS.
Cars Will Be Used to Round Up Scat
tered Voters.

With the campaign completed and
the ground thoroughly gone over, the
voters of the town of Killingly will
today decide whether Danielson is to
remain a license town or go back to
no-icense. The settlement of this
matter for another year has topped all
other matters that are presented for
adjustment at the annual town meet
ing and election and there is absolute
ly no interest in the election of the
town officials.
All that remains to be done is to get
thu voters to the polls and this work
will be done Systematically by both
parties. The automobile will play a
prominent part in the transportation
scheme and more than a dozen ma
chimes had been engaged Saturday for
the work. Private cars will also be
used. Killingly, being town of scat
tered villages, makes the difficulty of
getting the voters to the polls greater
than it is in many other places and
the efficiency with which the work is
accomplished means a great deal where
the contest is to be close.
The polls are to be open in the town
hall from 9 o'clock this morning until
2 o'clock this afternoon and the five
hours will be made up Of golden min
utes Of opportunity for both the tenn
perance and license factions.
Local political sharps are predicting
a close vote with the outcome uncer-
tain. The voters of Killingly have
made a record of persistent swaying
between license and no-license and a
change of sentiment by score of vot-
ers has usually been sufficient to swing
the town one way or the other. Last
year the town voted license by a ma
jority of 40. The year before there was
a no-icense victory by small margin.
The leaders on either side are making
no extravagant claims or predictions
as to the outcome, for they know con-
ditions in this town well enough to
spend their time getting voters to the
polls rather than in telling what they
expect is going to happen. The vote
cast will in all probability be one of the
largest in the history of the town.

VOTE IN DOUBT.
Many Pastors Distributed in Anticipa-
tion of Today's Election.

The polls will be opened this Mon
day. morning in Hammond hall at $50
o'clock for reception of the ballots to
be cast in the annual town election.
Saturday and Sunday stickers were
distributed to many voters to be used
over the name of one candidate or an
other and there may be some surprises
when the vote is counted this evening.
The license issue has not been a
prominent one in the prediction work
and no temperance rallies have been
held. A vote will be taken on the
question.
The annual town business meeting
will be held this afternoon, with routine
matters to pass upon. The number of
votes polled will probably amount to

JEWETT CITY
Borough Hears Two Stirring No-Li-
cense Addresses-Michael Foearty
Injured by Falling Tree-king's
Daughters Outing.

Saturday evening, there was a large
gathering in Firms opera house to
listen to temperance address by Hon.
John I. Shea of Cambridge. Mass,
national secretary of the Catholic To-
tai Abstinence union of America. Up
on the platform were seated Messrs.
Murphy, Baldwin, Grove and Murphy,
Jr., of Norwich, and John +. Hennon
of this place, the latter introducing
the speaker to the audience.
Represents 10000.
Mr.. Shea said he was an under
taker by profession and he was here
to attend the burial of the rum hopes
in the town, and on Monday would
occur the funeral He represented an
organization of 10000 members, and
gave its pledge, which demands eter-
nal fidelity to no-license. The enemy
of the faith and church III America
is the saloon.
Church Opposed to Saloons.
He spoke particularly of the idea
that people have that the Catholics
favor the liquor business and said the
principal reason for this is because
there are so many Catholic names
above the saloon doors, this fact hurt
ing the faith of the church. The
church of God can never favor the
saloon
The platform of the society is: Gre
ate a public sentiment, keep on Gre
ating a public sentiment, never cease
creating public sentiment. They
never say the word sufficient After
we are dead. our children will take up
the battle and never cease the war
fare until King Alcohol says "Sufi-
cienti" There are no selfish men in
the movement: they are on the other
side.
He said that Cambridge closed the
saloon doors twenty three years ago
and has had no-license ever since.
If my church says, Get out OF the
business, how can 1 stay in it? he
asked.
Will God punish the rum seller and
not the man who votes to license the
sale of liquor?
A Matter of Conscience.
The church elevates and the saloon
lowers humanity. How can any man
say the Lords Prayer and then go 10
the polls and vote license? Hesitate
before you make a mockery of that
prayer!
Three Schemes.
He said there were three ways in
which the liquor men work. One is
to buy all the votes they can-anotheI
is to dispense free drinks and intoxi-
cate men, then send them in the
streets to give the impression that
just as much liquor is drunk. and
another way is to bride the officials
not to enforce the law.
He gave figures to prove the increase
Of charity expenses under the license
law. The fight for no-license in towns
where there has been no-license, as in
this town, is not for the drunkard, but
for the men who are making the fight
and have been able to resist the temp
tation ON account Of there being no.

in the way of these men?
