to arrest him. The officer took him

was at first thought that the con-

Heavy Vote Recorded.
Machine voting was demonstrated
a most gratifying success to support
ers of the plan today when the ap-
paratus was used for the first time in
an election, records for time in reg
istering a choice and for the number
of electors naming their preference
within a given period having been
made during the day. That the clt1-
zens were familiar with the machines
after the demonstrations given dur
ing the week was made evident dur
ing the day, partic ularly in the rush
srtuctions. They operated the ap-
paratus in skillful manner and did not
appear to be confused after once en-
tering the booth.
During the first hour voting shat
tered all previous records, al names
having been checked from the lists
before seven o'clock. During the first
twenty minutes after the opening of
the polls seventy-four votes were
cast. The time occupied in operating
the machines this morning indicated
to the workers that straight ballots
were being cast without many excep-
tons.
Leaders of both leading parties
claimed to be confident of the results
when approached early this morning
but the republicans admitted that
several from their ranks were evil
IDENTIFY planning to declare for the re-
election Of Wilson,
Minton A. Morton, representing the
democrats, served as moderator and
he will read the results from the
machines after the polls close. The
vote in P1ainville should be known by
$500 It takes but a few minutes to
read each machine and the total will
no doubt be available within a half
hour after the polls are closed.
Both democratic and republican
town committees had automobiles at
work today and many Of the voters
were brought to the polling place in
cars. Socialists and prohibition1sts
also had their workers on hand but
sufficiently interested in the election
to walk. |
Car Hits Deer.
Blinded by the glare of the head |
light, a deer stepped in the path Of a
New Britain bound trolley car near
White Oak late last night and was so
badly wounded that it had to be
killed. The animal, although badly |
1nangled, was alive when the car was
brought to stop. The crew placed it |
on board and brought 1t to the car |
barn in New Britain, subsequently |
notifying Game Warden Smyrk. A |
bullet from the latters revolver ended |
the animals suffering.
Disposition of the carcass will now
be made by the state game warden
