 Judge Sweeney declared that the re- publican party was he party of prog ress. and that in order o secure a continuation of that progress it was necessary to continue republic an sen stors and representatives in Washing ton. republican members of the gen. ersl assembly and to keep republican officers in charge of city affairs. He sauded the candidates-to-be cn the state ticket and the present republi- can deleE Stion from Pawtucket, and asked support for the entire ticket named by the party from governor down to school committeeman.
 The finding of dagger, cioth r,ssk, light slouch hat and pair of oVeraIls in the woods at Bradford by Louis Turnover. and delivered to Police Chief Thomas E. Brown, may serve as a clue that will lead to the detection of the men who held up and robbed Da- vid McG. Newan of s1,200 while on ct the granite establishment in Brad ford.
 The dagger, which surely resembles the one pointed at MT. NewalIs heart, fs made from a hahround fife, the file handle being retained, and the leather sheath is 2 part of the cover ing of the side ribs of a top buggy This would indicate that the weapon was made in the country, and perhaps convenient to 8 village blacksmith shop. The mask was probably made from a piece of khaki jacket. It is a eruds sffair, a square piece of cloth with eve holes and held on the head by an elastic band The hat is similar to the regulation army fatigue hat, while the overalls are blue and con- siderably worn.
 Legal decision having been given that Stosincton has voted against li- csnss, there will be no licensed liquor saloons in the town at the expiration of the present license year. It is ss- serted. however, that this legal action win not prevent the sale of intoxieat- ing liquors in the club rooms in Paw cAtucx, 5tonington and Mystic, unless drastic measures are taken in regard to these places provided liquor is sold su violation of law. Some of these places have open bars and are pat ronixed just as is a public barroCm. the oniy restriction being that patrons must be enrolled members of the clubs or friends of members
 IL is asserted that the vote against license was not carried wholly by pro- hibitiOniSts and temperance extrenl- fists. but with the substantial assist ance of club members, whose club pus- mess is impaired by the licansed sa- leon IL is claimed that the licensed iiquo- dealers have full knowledge of the conducs of these clubs and that they, or thsir friends, intend to do the opposite of returning good for evil and will pay these clubmen back ill their own coin Prior to the cleo ton, the prosecuting authority of the town made oeclaration that if the town voted no-licerlze there would be no public or semi-public drinking places in the town
 During the past year the saloons in Pavcatuck have been conducted in an orderly way an1 in strict compE azce with law; not one of the proprie- tors has been suspected of violating the law ana there has been no dis turbaRce in any saloon in the village that attracted the attention of police officers
