Jersey, was the next speaker, who very clearly described the dangers of the liquor traffic both to the indlvid- ual and the nation.
 He said in part: T want to con- gratulate you on the victory you are going to have next fall in voting for no license. From the figures of the last three years l can see if you make the same gain porportiOnally next year you will carry the town for no license by large majority You are not go- ing to sit down and do nothing as since last year the whole world has joined in the campaign You have got the whole of Europe on your side. The CZar of Russia says that he is better off with his nation in the field and is not loosing as many men in battle as he was by being slain by the liquor traffic. The country is bet ter off financially. England said that she has three foes, Germany, Austria and the liquor traffic. Do you think the people of Willimantic are going to back down on a job like that? You are going to drive king alcohol out of the state. Men and women have got to get off the fence and take sides. If they can't get out into the trenches and fight they can at least furnish the ammunition.
 Take the economic side of the liquor traffic. It is a wonder it has lasted as long as it has. In the state of Con- necticut about half is dry territory; and S1 per cent. of the people live in no license territory. You know every | effort is being made. those of you who live in dry towns. to carry liquor into the dry town, yet there is more liq- uor sold illegally in license towns than in dry towns.
 Last year the public reports show that the total amount received from licenses in Connecticut in 1914 was one | million six thousand dollars For poor relief the state one million and forty-eight dollars was spent in this state more than the total amount re- ceived. Connecticut leads all states in the Union in pauperism- Connecticut leads all states in crimes against womanfood.
 It is not only dollars against dollars but 1t is dollars against humanity. For one hundred and twenty dollars the state receives for license 1t must fur
 nish one boy.
 Every saloon takes out of the com- muDity from eight to ten thousand loon it takes just forty dollars. The liquor traffic voted twenty million dol | lars last year to fight the combined forces of Christian Connecticut. At the conclusion of MT. Solandt's
 talk Rev. Mir. Lanphear sang John
 Barleycorn. Goodbye, after which he
 addressed the meeting. He said in
 against the drink habit. but we are
