The importance of a presidential election was farther increased in Westerly by reason of the vote on liquor license and by the spirited con- test for representative from the Second district. The town hall is the single voting place in the entire town, as both the First and Second district voting places are located in the same room. The polls opened at o'clock and among the first to cast their ballots town, for be 1t known. that Watch Hill, Pleasant View, Weea1apaug, Avondale, White Rock, Bradford and Potter Hill are all within the town of Westerly. Automobiles were kept busy during the day to bring in the voters to the polls, and the large vote indicates that this particular move in the game was worked to the limit. But for the diquor license question, and the Second rep- resentative district, where both repub- Hcans ran as independents and one with democratic indorsement, there would have been no hustle and hustle, as the town is so solidly republican that there would be no need for 1t. In addition, there was some interest cre- ated in the opposition of some republi- cans to the nomination of Albert H. Langworrhy, who declared in advance that they would bolt the party nomina- tion and vote for Tristan D. Babcock. democrat.
 Ins Woman'S Christian Temperance unioH took an active part in the cleo tion. They had patriotic decorated au- tomobiles in use and at the foot of the staircase they distributed no-license literature, brief and to the point, so that the voter might read while climb ing the stairs for his official ballot.
 The election officials were: First district-Ira B. Crandall, moderator: John J. Dunn, clerk: James H. Hodg- son, Michael J. Turano, republican su- pervisors; Clarence L. Clarke, Edward A. Farrell, democratic supervisors: Patrick H. Morrison, gate tender. Second district-Eugene B. Pendleton, moderator; Lewis Stanton, clerk; Rus sell L. Slocum, James A.

NO HOPE FOR EARLY PEACE
Premier Asquith So States In House

spouse To Question.

London, May 31-The German
Chancellor in his recent speech held
out no hope for an early peace, Pre-
mier Asquith stated in the House Of
Commons this afternoon in response
to a question whether the allies are
willing to consider peace overtures at
this time. The inquiry was made by
Sir Arthur Basil Markham, labor mem
Der for the Mansfield division of
Nottinghamshire.
Having in mind the recent rumors
in Berlin and Washington that Presi-
dent Wilson would consider some &C
ton and so inquired whether the al
lies were prepared to accept the Of
fees of neutrals in an effort to bring
labout an early peace, the Premier re-
piled that the last speech of the Ger
man Chancellor at the Reichstag did
not indicate that Germany was ready
to comply with peace terms safe
guarding the interests of the allies.

Caire.
The intervention of the United

cellor's recent statement will prove
the central powers are ready to end

Peace, however, depends on the

not our task to talk peace. We are
fighting a defensive war and are COM
PEELED to continue for the purpose of

future security.
when the war began all the news

charge our land. We never talked of
what we were going to do or had any
desire to disturb other nations, and
therefore it is easy for us to make
peace at any time"

Hits at Pork Barrel Politics.
1.-THE people must choose as their
executive and legislative leaders at
Washington" Mr.. Roosevelt said,
"men absolutely national in spirit;
men whose theory of government is as
far as the poles from the pork barrel
theory--and this whether the pork bar
) rel be considered from a personal, po-
litical or sectional standpoint; men
who look forward and not back; men
who face the facts as they actually
are The time for flintlock theories OF
craftsmanship in this country is past.
Colonel Roosevelt said his address
! was directed with equal emphasis tc
the soul qualities of the men who fol
lowed Grant and of the men who fol
lowed Lee" but that he made no ap
peal ito the memory Of the copperheat
pacifists who put peace above duty"
/ The colonel urged the nation to "be
ware of the false prophets "-profes
sional pacifsts who, he declared, d.
not serve high ideals.
