1 But for the election yesterday there
 was little of public interest transpirIng
 in town. The chief effort was made | to get the voters out to the polls.
 Judge Banks had his automobile in 1 commission, fetching in loads of his | friends, and Selectman Fox and John F.. Boyle had their machines in con- stant use, hunting up Democratic yot- l CTS. Many other automobiles were
 used for the same purpose. All the candidates for representatives to Hart 1 ford were on the ground, shaking at heart for their votes Casella V. | Brothwell, w. o. Burr, E. s. Banks and Mir. Northrop of Southport watch ed the voting all day. The principal men of the town were at the town house, and while the voting at times seemed to be brisk, it was predicted
 that on the whole it was lighter than expected. The Daughters of the American Rev olution held a meeting yesterday aft ernoon in their room at the library
 building. Mrs. Frank S.. Child, the regent. presided. Owing to the storm not so many were present as would have been the case if the day had been fair. A number of new members were voted for, including Miss Annie Stur- gis and Miss Holley. Miss Loretta Perry gave a very interesting talk about the English homes she visited while abroad last summer-the furnish ing and arrangement of the house; the silverware on the tables; the lack of many convenienceS to be found in American homes; the graceful hospi- tality extended; the quietness and neatnesS which everywhere prevailed, and the arrangement of the rooms, often superior to houses in America. A few of the ladies present were Mrs. Francis Brewer. Miss Bessie Betts, Miss Annie Warehouse, Mrs. Charles B. Jennings, Mrs. Hotchkiss, Miss Kippen and Mrs. Wallace M. Bulk ley.
