Governor Says He Doesn t Believe in Political Prin- ciples of Prohibition
 Party
FAVORS LOCAL OPTION
Shouldn't Cram Total Alb stinence Down Every bodv's Throat-New Ha- ven Ought to Be Wet.

Governor Baldwin gave out a state opposed to the idea of prohibition. He said;
 T am flooded with invitations to give addresses on all sorts of occa- sions and have to make some selec- ton. Tn making my selection for next month I concluded not to accept that of the total abstinence society which is referred to in The Voter.
 "1 think that a pledge of total ab- stinence from intoxicating liquors is to most men a safeguard of health and character, but 1 am not a be- lever in crowding total abstinence down everybody's throat. Prohibition in my view should be a matter of io- cal option and while I am not accus- toned to take anything myself I have always voted for license in New Ha- ven, believing 1t to be too large city to be governed under a rule of pro- hibtion
 MT Hohenthal, with whom I had my correspondence, is chairman of the State executive committee of the Pro- hibition party in Connecticut. I am not in sympathy with the legislative or constitutional platform of that so- ciety.''
 The statement was given in answer to an editorial in The Voter, the off, cial prohibition organ, commenting on the Governors refusal to speak at the convention of the total abstinence society to be held in South Manches-

SAFE BLOWERS IN WINCHESTER.
Wrecked Outer Door, But Failed to Get
Inside Vault Which Contained see, 900.

Half a dozen burglars made an un-
successful attempt early yesterday morn
ing to blow open the safe of the VIM
chester National bank. Ntroglycerln
was used by the burglars, but their ap-
parent unfamiiarity with this explosive
Is believed to be responsible for the
failure of their undertaking, for the
sound of the explosion was so great that
the entire town was aroused and the rob-
bcrs had to flee before they could force
open the second door of the vault. in
which $26 900 of the banks cash reposed.
When a number of citizens, headed by
Cashier Franklin Kellom of the bank
entered the banking rooms they found
that much of the banks furniture had
been destroyed by the force of the ex-
plosion and the heavy outer door of the
vault had been demolished.
The inner door, which guards the vault
where the cash is kept, had not been
disturbed, however, as the robbers were
not given time in which to attack this
barrier.
posse of citizens was organized
quickly by Deputy Sheriff Rixford and
an attempt was made to trace the
burglars. The only clue to their To-
cation was that furnished by the en-
ployes of a box factory and a search
along the road leading to Keene proved
fruitless. 1t is believed that the men
escaped in an automobile,

Virginia Harmed Coming to the Auditorl-

One of the high class attractions soon

Virginia Harmed in her latest successful
play, THE Woman He Married" by Her
bert Bashford. Miss Harmed has for
some years enjoyed the reputation of
being one of the leading emotional ac-
tresses of the American stage, and her
new starring vehicle gives her an oppor-
tunity of displaying her ability in a to-
tally new and unexpected direction. She
has proven herself to be a we'll equipped.
thoroughly trained and true artist Her
touch and shading is so delicate in sew
eral OF the principal scenes in "The
Woman He Married" that one marvels
at her penetrating powers. Her fine
spirits and magnificent fury in some of
these scenes are more felt than heard,
In the role of JENNIE DumOnt, she has
made n great sacrifice. She is repaid
with scorn. To properly portray the
resultant feeling requires the full mas
terry OF all that is possible in dramatic
Interpretation. II she should fall below
that standard, she would be n sore dis
appointment, but she does not. All the
pent up misery and anguish of her bitter
struggle to gain happiness, charged with
a terrible injustice which rewards her
splendid sacrifice, makes every word
ring true with a heart touching sincerity,
Miss Harneds voice is one of her chief
attractions. Even when pitched the high
est In the most intense dramatic mo-
ments, it remains smooth soft and
charming. Her voice carries to all por-
tions of the house, with no apparent eff
fort on the part of this distinguished
artist. When she reaches the very
height of her scorn or the very depth
OF her misery, she leaves the audience
feeling that she has not exhausted her
power, but has rather just touched upon
that great wealth of emotion which she
possesses. Miss Harmed will be seen
here for one night only, Thursday, April
