Think War Is Necessary.

Out of the many conferences the atti-
tude of the House leaders became exceed
ingly clear. They said that war should
be declared: that the United States should
send the army into Mexico and go
through with what 1t has started; that
in this way only can peace be established
on a sound and permanent basis. They
reported the sentiment of the House on
their side and they prepared to tell the
President that since the House took this
position they believed it to be the posi-
ton of the country.
Although the news of the mediation Of
fer put a new aspect on the situation, 1t
was the general understanding that the
House leaders expect to make their rep
resentations to the President as soon as
the army has been concentrated at Vera
Cruz.
In the Senate there was no such con-
certed action as was evident in the
House, but there were reports of dis
satisfaction from Individual senators and
evidence that the bond of silence which
many senators have observed for months
will be broken tomorrow and that war
talk will flourish again.

Leaders in Conference.

In the conference more than dozen OF
the prominent men on the democratic
side participated. Speaker Clark, Major
ity Leader Underwood. Chairman Flood
of the foreign relations committee,
Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropria-
tions committee and Chairman Hay of the
military committee figured in all of them
The discussion was SO outspoken that
there was talk for a time of the ap-
pointment Of committee, to consist of
Speaker Clark and Mr.. Underwood,
which should call upon President Wilson
and inform him that the sentiment of
the House was for war.
Developments of the day. however.
particularly the appearance of hope that
meditation Of South American republics
might bring about a peaceful solution,
interfered with this plan. and the con-
ferences ended without definite conclu-
sion. but with most of those who partic-
ipated convinced that it was only a
question of time until drastic action
must be taken.

The polls will be open today from 6 in the morning until in the after noon at the old town hall on Church street in order that the voters of the town may register their choice for the town officials who will represent them this year. It is probable that the vote will be better than the average, as the .no-license proponents have been mak- ing considerables of a campaign, and efforts will undoubtedly be made to offset their vote by getting all who are in favor of license to the polls.
 Confidence in the result of the elec- ton seems to be felt in both the re- publican and democratic camps, a1- though there has not been a great deal of work apparent on the surface, with
