 W. J. Reel is reelected first select man and the entire republican ticket is winner by an average plurality of 100.
 John S. Reed, republican, for col lector, received the largest total vote 283, including 58 Progressive votes, a majority of 157 over David Roger, democrat.
 For registrar, Henry R. Whitford, Progressive, boiled 82 votes, only 19 less than Norman w. Moore, democrat. J. Clinton Roraback received POT.
 Straight tickets-85 democratic, 113 republican, 22 progressive.
 Nineteen blank ballots were thrown out. Counting these, with the 398 total votes on selectmen, the highest total, the whole number of votes cast, for the town ticket, was AIT. The total vote on License was 428 showing that II voters voted on the license question, who did not vote any town ticket.
 Six women voted-fve democratic and one republication school commit tee and library director.

 The count was begun as soon as the polls were declared closed. A consid- eraole crowd had assembled to witness the count of license ballots, and when the result on that issue was declared eight majority for license-the proceed ings lost their interest for most of the spectators, and they departed.
 The election was quiet thoughout the day. Very few voters were in evidence when the polls opened, at o'clock, and at no time throughout the day was there anything resembling crowd about the polling place.
 Automobiles were put into commits sion, as usual, to convey to the polls such voters as were disinclined or un- able to walk, and both sides looked well after their adherents.
 George W. Ford was chosen modera- tor of the election, and these officers were appointed:
 Fred Parmelee, checker at the door; Edson Rood and Jesse Goodwin license ticket booth; Henry K. Prescott and Winthrop Bottum, town ticket booth E. A. Barber, Alvin Bartlett and Robert Miller, voting booth tenders; G. E. DeHart and Charles s. Rood checkers; Starr H. Rood, box tender; Wm. R. Weddle woman's ballot box tender.
 The first ballot of the day was east by J. Clinton Roraback, with Edward l.. Roberts close second.
 The business meeting was called at o'clock, in the upper hall. Town Clerk Allyn Fuller called the meeting to order and called for nominations for chairman. John B. Reed and Wallace Canfield were nominated simultane- ously and rising vote was ordered. Owing to confusion in the first count a second vote was necessary and MT. Canfield was declare elected, IS to IF.
