Prohibitionists Prove to Be I'm
portant Factor - Progress
sives in the Discard.

BOSTON. Nov. 3.-For the FIRST time
In six years the Republicans Of Massa-
chusetts elected their candidate for gov
ernor. Yesterday they focked to the
polls throughout the State and gave
former Congressman Samuel w. Mccall
sufficient votes to win the gubernatorial
contest over Governor Walsh. a third
term candidate. That IL was a bitter
nght all the way through was indicated
by the small margin by which Mccall
was elected.
Tho complete returns Of the State
vote for governor. as given out early
today were:
Mccall. aa5.soe: Walsh. 22s.s4s: Shaw.
1s,41: Clark. 1922. Mccall was given
a plurality Of 6.363.
Last year the vote for Walsh mas
3l0.442. and for Mccall 1t was lss.s27
Boston went strong for Walsh. az did
few Of the smaller cities. but through
out the entire State Mccall proved too
strong.
The Republicans also elected a leu
tenant governor. giving Calvin Coolidge
Q plurality OF 1881 over Lieutenant Gov
ornor Barry The complexion Of the
Le8islature was also turned strongly IN
favor OF the Republicans.
The vote Of the State on suffrage.
with one precinct still out. rolled up a
total Of .497 for the antis against
1872 ia for the sufYraGists.
The Progressives failed to keep above
the per cent required. and they are
now relegated to the discard. The Pro-
hibitionists went after the Democrats
In such strong style that 1t is believed
they are mainly responsible for the
Democratic downfall.
The intense interest that followed the
election campaign brought the largest
vote cast In the State for the past dozen
years.
Reports from all sections Of the State
said there was little or no trouble.

Eastern Soccer Magnets MeetSaturday
Annual Meeting of Eastern Connecticut Football League Will
 Held in This City-Jewett City May Enter the Cir cut-Meeting Promises to be Lively One-Grounds Question Puts Ban on the Forming of Local Team.

The annual meeting the Eastern Connecticut Association Football league will be held Saturday after noon in this city at the Wauregan house The meeting promises to be one of unusual interest as Joe Booth of Bridgeport state secretary of the Connecticut State association, intends to be present and will address the meeting. 1t is the intention of Pres ident MacIntyre and the other off cers of the league to form a larger circuit if possible. An agent of the league has been looking over the pros poets of starting a team in Jewett City who will hand in ehis report Sat urday. From the. present indications 1t looks as if the borough will be rep resented and if they enter they will have the material to put a fast team on the field.
 It has been suggested that a local team be formed, but the question of grounds seems to be the only hold back Several business men in the city arc willing to back team if this diff ficulty can be overcome. Although Sterling dropped out of the league last fall they will send a delegate to the meeting. This meeting also promises to be one of a lively nature concern ing important questions and disputes which arose last season, especially the selection of referees and the signing of players Tt has been suggested that the teams play only home men, but this proposition from present indica- tions will not be adopted.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET STRONG AND BROAD.
Heavy Buying Of United States Steel
 Common the Chief Feature.

New York. Feb. 11.-Heavy buying of United States Steel common at steady advances was the chief feature of today's strong and broad market Large individual lots of the stock changed hands from the very outset and at no time did it recede more than a mere fraction. At the end of the session it showed net gain of SIS points, or 6 38 above its minimum.
 RUnlor was busy with the movement in Steel, gossip attributing it's strength to a possible compromise of the suit brought by the government. Apart from this, however, the company fla vorab1e statement of January tonnage as published yesterday, together with the fact that many of the larger steel plants have recently increased their output by more than 50 per cent, were regarded as sufficient causes for the rise.
 The entire list shared in the move n1ent, but it was noteworthy that most of the substantial gains were in high class or investment issues, as against the recent spasmodic movements in specialJies.

The de- cision of the interstate comm cree cofn- mission regarding freight charges be- tween Missouri river and Pacific coast
 
 haul rates and puts the railroads tra.- versing that territory in a better po- sition to meet Panama. canal competi- lion. This new phase was reflected in the better inquiry for all transconti- mental shares at substantial advances. Voluntary wage increases to miners in the Michigan copper region, together w1th the restoration of the Calumet and Hecla dividend after a long period of suspension measured the improve meut in that industry. The annual report Of the Republic Iron and Steel company, showing a net loss of over S2 000,0 for 1914, testified to the re- cent adverse conditions in that trade.

FRESHMAN ROWING
 CRISIS AT COLUMBIA.
Rice Threatens to Disband Squad Un-
 less Fifty Candidates Report.

Freshman rowing is on trial at Co., 1umbia again because of the meagre number of. candidates reporting for the daily practice. JnIn Rice and the rowing management announced to the first year men and that unless the squad was increased to fifty fby Saturday afternoon drastic measures would be taken, and it was suggested that all plans for boating 8 first year eight would be abandoned.
 Rice has been having greater diff culty each year for the last three sea sons in getting candidates out for the freshman boat and the effect is ap- parent in the showing which Columbia first year crews have made at Pough- keepsie in these years. Two of the three crews finished last and one was fourth in field of five.
 - Rice realizes the necessity of fresh man crews for the material they sup ply for varsity combinations in later years but does not feel justified in devoting his time to freshman com binations which finish at the end of the procession. For this reason he has in mind an abandonment of fresh man rowing for one year at least. This, he thinks, would have good effect as a warning to future freshman class ac
