WINDHAM'S SINGLE POLLING
 PLACE WAS KEPT BUSY
Republicans Elected Their Entire
 Ticke.-Maiority for License Was 245


 Fair weather prevailed for election day and Windham's single polling place. where some 2,000 voters must register their choice between the hours of a. m. and , p. m., was crowded most of the time during these hours. Windham is becoming large enough so that more than one polling place IS needed for the accommodation of the people, and the result would be more l quickly known.
 There would have been an extremely
 light vote cast except for the fact that l the battle over the license question | drew out the vote.
 The republicans elected all of their | candidates at the election held in this | city Monday, although L. Gelinas was | defeated for the office of selectman by
 J. P. Mustard, who was running for ] ticket he succeeded in being elected i to the office of third selectman. The l total number of ballots showed that the polls were kept busy most of the | day, although yesterdays total vote | of 1857 was not as large as the vote boiled last year. which exceeded 1000. | Twenty seven blank. 6 wrongly mark l ed. Il mutilated and ballots in the wrong box were among the things en- | countered by the counters.

Kelley received 46 women votes and ". A. Costello 45.
