baskerville Representations.
Danielson people are amused at the
wise prediction of the sage of Packer
vile that the vote on the license ques-
ton is going to be almost a tie" in
Killingly this year That is a good
safe prediction. What the interested
parties up here want to know from
this political Horace Johnson of Wind-
ham county is which side is going to
win in this almost a tie' contest
Let's have q real forecast, not a prob
ably cloudy" effect. The "drys" and
"wots" are both Interested, and would
as soon get the information from
baskerville as elsewhere.
Killingly has been almost a tie
on this license question many times in
the past, but the result has not al
ways been the same. That it is per-
that the vote here will be close may
be easily demonstrated by the results
of the voting during the past Is years.
Considering that KiIlingfy has more
than 1900 voters and that the largest
majority either way during the last
decade and a half is only 1876, there
would be nothing surprising in another
tight squeeze this year
The following figures will show how
safe it is to guess that the vote will
| be almost a tie: 1895 no by Sc; 1896,
no by 10: 1897, yes by 1875: 1898, yes
116: 1901, yes by 50; 1902. yes by Is:
1903, yes by %: 1904, no by 70; 1905,
yes by 3; 1906. no by 40: 1907, no by
IS; 1908, yes by 40; 1909, no by 10;
1910-all guessers are welcome.

Watching Out for Gypsies.

| close tabs on a band of gypsies that
are travelling southwark. The band
| is the largest-and the dirtiest-that
| has been seen hereabouts in years, and
| they are being driven rapidly from one
| town to another. Their stay in Dan
| ielson was very brief necessarily. 1t
| is estimated that the total membership
| of the party is close to 70.
