NOTICE

On Monday next the question of prohibition will be placed again be- fore the voters of Plainville and action demanded at the polls, one way or the other. The town is to go prohibition or to retain it's present status. There are many folk interested in the out come Every citizen who casts vote, bear well in mind certain evident fact.
 To begin with, property and busf- ness interests are at stake. The s1tu- ation here is different than in many places because of Plainv1lle's proximi- ty to neighboring cities where liquors are sold. And so, outside of changing the ulterior complexion of things here, and causing loss of property to those who conduct their businesses under the law, the effect in morals upon the community will be nil and void, should town go dry. It requires but the expenditure of five cents in money and fifteen minutes in time for any man to reach destination where wet goods are dispensed. Having es- saved such a journey 1t is but plaust- ble that the traveller should remain somewhat longer in the companion ship of wine than he would were he within easy reaching distance. It is
 
 which they cannot readily get So in this case Once the ban is put on the legal selling of liquid refreshments in this town there will imme ediately spring up a demand that may not be readily satiated. JOurneying from Plainville will become the order of the day, or night, when occasions present themselves to make the trip incon- venient the inevitable surreptitious habits will assert themselves and blind tigers and other clandestine meeting places will come into being. Under the present scheme of things the sale of liquors in Plainvil1e is conducted according to regularly prescribed law written high on the statute books of Connecticut. The men in the business here respect these mandates to the best of their ability, and pay licenses to the support of the state, the cOun- ty, and the town. Under a different working order the police records may show a changed community.
 Down in Maine, a prohibition state, there is little town somewhere like Plainville. A traveller upon aEghting from the train there immediately went in search of liquid refreshment. He asked the first man he met where he could get a drink The native after scrutinizing the stranger and be- ing satisfied with his examination, took the visitor aside, pointed to a broken down shack on the main street and said:-"You see that place there with the sIanting roof? Well strang- CT, that's the only place in this town where you can't get drink!' Plain vile does not want to be that way Advt.

ENGLAND RETURNS
 TO WINTER" DAY
Today is Last for Summer Time Schedule-DayIight Saving Proves Successful.

London, Sept. 30, TAO D. m.-The Summer time'' calendar closes to- day, the last day on which the clocks will register time an hour ahead of the standard. Greenwich time will be restored at o'clock to- morrow morning, this hour being selected as the least inconvenient to the railways, as the minimum num- Der of trains is running on Sunday morning. It is estimated that at least three million clocks will have their hands set back in London alone.
 The daylight saving plan, intro duced last spring by an act of parlia- ment is generally considered to have proved a success, even the farmers, who at first objected to it, having be- come reconciled to the innovation. However, the government has ap- pointed a committee to consider the social and economic results. report whether it is advisable to repeat the experiment, what notifications, if any, should be introduced and the time it should remain operative.

Both Parties Confident Of Victory
 on Eve Of Election
ARGUMENTS, PRO AND CON

Community Interest, Says Agent Woman's Aid Supper a Success
 With but few hours left, the lead CTS of both political parties are put ting in the finishing touches of the most interesting campaign this town has seen in years. Tonight is expected to finish the pre- election activities Both camps are sanguine of the re- suit of Mondays polls and each pre- dict a victory for their party. While most of the work has been done on a quiet basis, nevertheless personali- ties have been indulged in by both sides and to predict the result with any degree of accuracy would require the wisdom of the famed oracle of Delphi. The first selectmanship is the object of the efforts of both parties little or nothing having been done for the other places on the tickets
 Sectionalism is playing strong part in the working of the heelers, according to report. The republicans say that Judge filling will win in a walk, while the prognosticators of the democrats see nothing to it but Beck ley. A prominent member of the re- publican party said that if the people of Kensington are consistent, they will cast their votes for the nominee of his party and gives the following reason: For the past few years at every town meeting, residents of Ken sington have made it known that they sought to have a more representative voice in the town affairs. They called for the first selectmanship and it was known that the very men that called tosc change were always loud in thelr praise for William H. Gibney. Now our party deemed a change de- s1rable and the leaders nominated Judge All1ng, in order to give the kens1ngton1tes the office they so long desired. So, if they are consistent they will cast their ballots for him ;"
 When this was repeated to a prom lnent democrat, he replied "It was certainly very courteous of the reprb- Hcans, or rather the machine to give kensington it's desire, but we abso- lutely refuse to have anything to do with that plan. The same men, who are now hollering for votes for Judge filling are the ones, who a short time ago hollered for his scalp when he was judge of the town cCUr+ and even when he was prominent in arnual fairs of the Berlin Agricultural &1oioty. The argument propounded by tae repub- hcans regarding giving kensington the place, is a 5surd and if tho leaders deslre housekeeping, let them do it N in their own sanctums and not bring such foolish claims
 ihe polling places will be opened at o'clock Monday morning and WAu close at in the afternoon. In

PETER JOHNSTON TALKS
POLITICS IN SALT LAKE

Salt Lake City, Feb. 2s.-Peter G.
Johnston of Blackfoot, Idaho, Repub
lican leader of the lower house of the
Idaho legislature, at the Hotel Utah
Saturday said the Republicans can
carry Idaho with ease if the party
dominates a candidate from the north
ern part Of the state. He points out
that both United States senators and
both members Of congress from Idaho
and large number of state officers
are from southern and eastern Idaho
and that the northern part of the state
would rally to the support Of Re.
publican gubernatorial nominee from
that section, adding strength to the
entire Republican ticket.
He says the direct primary law is
responsible for all Of the officers COM
ing from one section of the state, as
the southern part is more populous
than the northern part of the state.
He asserted that during the last SEES
sion of the Idaho legislature an amend
ment was made to the Idaho primary
law which would have removed the
sectional feeling in the state, but that
the bill was killed.
Mr.. Johnston says the Progressives
and the Republicans in Idaho ars
united through the reorganization Of
the Republican state committee. Hi
declares that all of the western state!
will give Republican majority in thu
coming presidential election, as al
are in favor of protective tariff. MIR
Johnston says that the Idaho dele
gates to the Republican national con
vention probably will favor the anal
| gamation Of the two parties in tn
nation.

WASHINGTON NEWS

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2S.-Thc
gress over the submarine situation with
Germany has lessened. At the same time
it is apparent that the party differen
ces have not been entirely smoothel
over. The Capital generally believes
that President Wilson will find way
out of the apparent empasse in the
German controversy.
The present great national anxiety
springs from differences of opinion con.
corning the definition of the word
"unarmed. Arguments are heard in
all quarters concerning the nullifica-
ton of definitions, injunctions AMI
prohibitions Of international law, b.;
the development Of aerial and submar-
inc warships.
Word comes to Washington that Ger
many counts upon the American con
gress forcing backdown from Presid
ent Wilson in the controversy over
armed merchantmen. The United States
will probably discuss with Germany
the extent to which merchant ships
Gay arm for defense, but it will not
discuss the right of such vessels to de-
fensive armament. This information
derived from high official sources
serves to clarity the apparent paradox
in the position taken by the President
in his letter to Senator Stone, that h,
would not discuss with Germany tn
principle Of the fundamental right o
Americans to travel on vessels arme'
for defense.
A wave of protest against the Bor
land order" requiring an S-hour da.
in the government departments, ha
swept over the entire Capital. TIL
American Federation of Labor ha
taken up the fight against it, and sen
strong protests to Speaker Clark an
{ the chairman Of the appropriation
committee. Congressman Borland,
answer to the criticism, declared Their
was no intention to increase the hour
Of labor of government employees b.
yond the recognized and proper stan'
ard of private employment.

to appropriate for twelve more secre
aries of legations abroad, because Of tn
