Climax of Campaign in the Interest
 of SaIoonIess Town.

There were no evening services in most of the Protestant churches in this city Sunday. to enable members to attend the mass meeting held in the Gem theatre in support of the no-li- cense movement. Literature had been sent out by the "drys'' for some days previous to the. meeting. and more interest engendered in the license vote in many quarters than in the party vote.
 The chief speaker of the rally was H. H. Spooner of Kensington, who has been heard here before. and is known to be most able exponent of his views on the liquor question. The theatre was filled. as was the case last year on a like occasion. Several other brief talks were given by local men advocating a vote for a dry town.
 In the morning Mir. Spooner spoke on the Moral and Economic Aspects of the Saloon Question at the service in the Congregational church. Sew eral pastors spoke to their congrega- tions in regard to the matter. The no-license advocates expect to poll q large vote today.

PRE- -ELEcTloN ouIE1
May Mean Lively Work and Close Contests al the Rolls-Each Side Confident of Winning.

The polls will be open from in the morning untfl 5 in the afternoon to- day, for the annual town election. Both sides are confident of victory, although there has been very little reelection talk. Tn fact most of the campaigning has been done by means of letters. and street corner arguments have been noticeably absent.
 The candidates on both tickets are well known in the town and no bit terness between them is apparent. so that little occasion for hot talk has been found. It is claimed by the democratic leaders that the endorse ment of the republican candidate, E. P. Chesoro. by the prohibition party, will hurt his chances, as the license question is to be voted upon this year. On the other hand. the republicans say that no such result should follow an unsought endorsement, which was merely choice between two candi- dates presumably on the ground of their fitness for the office.
