nounced himself as a candidate but Ii he can be persuaded to make the run, the democratic leaders will be sanguine over the outcome.
 No Progressive Ticket.
 According to William Fox, chair man of the progressive town commit tee, local progressives will not have a ticket in the field at the October cleo tion. MT. Fox states that the party has at this time no special desire to break into town affairs and will not name any candidates. The members have terminated their connection with other parties, however, and in the coming election will support the in- dividual candidates rather than the party they represent.
 MT. Fox this afternoon filed with Town Clerk Usher the initial en- rollment list of the progressive party of Plainville and asked to have the registrars prepare check list for caucus use. The law provides that any party polling over ten per cent. of the vote at the last election may have caucus list prepared by the registrars if the list is filed with the town clerk in time. This is the last date allowed by the statute.
 While there were less than seventy five names on the list filed with the clerk today MT. Fox claimed that the town has close to two hundred pro- gressives A number of the voters, he declared. whose sympathies are with the party which Roosevelt creat- ed, are property owners in town and are naturally interested in the selec- tion of a selectman as well as other local officials. Consequently they are desirous of taking part in the repub lican caucus and for that reason put off until after making formal registra tion as bull moosers.
 At the November election the pro- gressives intend to have candidates and the leaders now believe that the party has gained sufficient strength, locally, to warrant the prediction that both the republicans and democrats are liable to be disappointed in the se- lection of a representative to the gen eral assembly, None of them care to say whether anyone is being groomed for the place or not, but they are talk ing a most optimistic view of the sit uation and have strong hopes of win ming.
 MT. Fox does not intend to remain as chairman for any great length of time. He claims that he is not a politician and that the place really belongs to someone more familiar with the workings of party organiza- ton. William J. Dent, one of the first local voters to desert the repub-

That local temperance workers are dissatisfied with the wet regime of the past year and are determined to wipe it out at the election this fall by making united stand against the liquor dealers and their friends, by >.whom they were defeated by large majority last year, is now definitely known with the appearance of peti- ton asking for a vote on the ques- ton.
 The petition, which originated in Kensington and which is headed with the signature of one of the towns most prominent temperance advocates is being circulated in that community <-ery rapidly and a large number of names are being added daily. In the course of few weeks it will be pre- sented to the board of selectmen, which will then be obliged to place the order for a vote in the call Tor the annual town meeting. For the sake of eXpediency a few other petitions are being drawn up and will be circulated in the other districts of the town. They read as follows:
 We, the undersigned, registered voters of the town of Berlin Con- necticut. respectfully ask that a call for ballot to decide whether any person shall be licensed to sell spirit $Sous and intoxicating liquors in said town of Berlin, shall be included in the call for the annual town meeting this year"
 In accordance with the laws of the state of Connecticut, if a vote on the liquor question is desired by either faction, 1t IS necessary to have at least ten per cent. of the voters of the town, sign the above petition. There are about 800 registered voters in the town and about $500 inhabitants
 Last year, it was the saloon men and tpeir supporters who 1tgned and handed petitions to the seleccmen. as the town was dry during the year 1913. They did much hustling before election time and practically the en- tire town was canVassed during the summer and early fall.
 This preliminary work had it's in- tended results also for, when the bal lots were counted when the polls closed it was found that the town had gone license by the overwhelm- ing majority of 10S votes, 344 ballots having been cast for license and 236 for a continuation of the dry regime. The voters of Worthington were largely responsible for the change for. while this district had always had the distinction of being In favor of mo license" it went for the other side by a majority of forty five.

Deputy Sheriff James Clark said to- day that he saw twenty-one young 1 men stealing rides on freight trains, 1 in a short time that he spent last evening at the Berlin passenger station. The majority of them ap peared to be of higher rank than the ] ordinary "bums," he said. and some were dressed neatly. .... He was able to catch five of the travellers and, after featuring them, re- leased them with a warning to keep oft of railroad property. Some of the young men in explain ing their action to the officer, said they felt obliged to steal rides on the freight trains, explaining that, to live, it was necessary for them to reach some city where they could secure em- ployment, they having been laid off in factories during the past few weeks on account. of the poor business con- ticns.
 The sheriff is experienced, and he knew that the youngsters were tell ing the truth. He sympathized with them, but was obliged to lay down the law to them and warn them of the ccnequences if they failed to abide
