Putnam is now the only license town in this section of Connecticut and one of the three license towns in Wind ham county, the other two being Windham and Sterling.
 Judge Mann Not Candidate.
 With the echoes of the town election only dying away talk of the state cleo ton was taken up here Tuesday. Judge ; arry Mann. who has been men toned as a possible selection for rep ntative by the democrats, says he will not be candidate.
 License Majority Decreased.
 Putnams license majority, while heavy, did not approach the record of 1910, the last time the question was voted upon here and when the license forces won with a majority of 3S4 The last year in which the town voted in. majority favor of no-hcense was in 1903.
 Votes Lost Through careIessness.
 The throwing out of III ballots in Putnam in Mondays election is an- other indication that many voters are very slow to learn about the proper use of the so-called new form of bal lot. The mistakes made disfranchised about ten per cent. of the electors of the town for the day. Forty-si1 of those who lost their votes did not put mark of any kind on their ballots. 4 story of thrown out ballots comes from every town Tn the county.
 Motorcycle coIlides with Automobile.
 John Smith of this city, whils rid ing 8. motorcycle was in collision with an automobile driven by Jesse Bottom ley, near Stones corner, below Elm vile, just after Tuesday noon, but escaped without serious injury. His machine was somewhat damaged but it can be repaired at an expense of about s20. One story told as to how the smash came to occur is that Smith was riding along some distance behind team in which Harley s. Place and Alcott D. Sayles. both of East Kill lingly, were driving toward Elmville. When the Bottomley machine came along from the opposite direction MT. Places horse became frightened and in trying to circle around it MT. Smith came into head-on collision with the automobile. which was well over on it's own side of the street The affair did not result seriously for anyone concerned
 Dayviile's Blind Turn a Menace
 The extremely bad and blind turn in the highway near tiae nc --r of the Labelle building in Dayville con- tlnues to be a producer of automo- bile accidents: Two more collisions, practically alike have occurred there very recently. In one the motor de- livery of Myer Goldwater of Danielson and the runabout of Oswald Street of DayVflle figured, the Street car com ing around the turn from the Alta waugan road. The other collision was between machines owned by M. Dia- mond of this city and Edward $. Keith of Eastford. The damage in both &C., cidents was not serious. The turn is one of the worst in eastern Connecti- cut, however. and should be approach ed by every automobile owner with the greatest possible precaution.

DESERTED TO PRoeREssIvEs.
Democrats Thus Lost Election While Republican PiuraIities Were Cut DoMr.


 The democrats in Killingly came in for a great deal of good-natured chaf- fing from members of Killingly's two successful political parties Tuesday on account of the unprecedented trim ming given them in Mondays ballot ing, and took it with rare good grace. They feel they are due for q come back in, the not distant future. There has never been time in the towns history, however, when they have had such little representation. All they retain is two members of the town school committee, these hold-overs from last years election, and two con- stables, these escaping the avalanche of Monday. Incidentally. the democrats owe much of their political discom- fiture to disloyalty on the part of members of their own party. Having a victory, in minority degree, within their grasp if they had but voted their tickets straight, they deserted in num- bers to the progressives, as did many republicans, and balloted themselves out the back door. They now occupy the strategic position from which they can ''blame it on the other fellow' when management of town affairs is under consideration, for there are not enough democratic office holders left to blame anything on. The deserting democrats are not away to stay, they were telling Tuesday, when they be- gan to realize, as one man put it, that too much is plenty.
 The republicans retain the supre- macy in Iillingly's political affairs, having elected their entire ticket, though by greatly reduced pluralities. Reviewing the incidents of Monday the leaders of all political parties here see another warm session just ahead, when the state election comes along next month. Anyone who cares to guess on the probable result may have at least one chance

 most agree, when the making of a budget is necessary and not only that, but the laying of d. tax sufficient to raise the money required to meet the towns expense. A If mill tax is being widely advocated. some even claiming that the town cannot meet it's run ming expenses on it's present basis of doing business with less than 15 mills, if any effort is to be made to reduce the indebtedness. A 12 mill tax, such as has been laid for the past few years, is not sufficient many claim.
