SITUATION IS CALLED CRITICAL
Last Year the "Wet" Majority was
$1,000 But Only About Half the
Votes in City Were Cast.

Boston, Dec. 1S.-As result of a
campaign 10 step the sale of intoxicat
ing liquors in Boston, other issues Of
the municipal election to be held to-
morrow have been almost crowded
out, and there are indications that the
vote on the license question will be
unusually close. The Boston real es-
tate exchange, advocating retention
of the existing limited license system,
announces in a public statement that
"it is critical situation" and that
"a few thousand votes may turn the
scale"
The campaign for no-license in Bos
ton, with its 100000 persons, has
been pushed with an energy never
previously approached. The evange-
listic services conducted by Rev.
William A. Sunday have been devoted
largely to lectures on temperance and
his "trailhitters" at many meetings
have been pledged to vote no. The
antisalcon league, which has charge
of the no-license activities, has kept
a big force or orators, moving picture
exhibitors and pamphlet distributors
at work for weeks.
The city voted last year 461l5, yes;
91,S77, no; a majority OF 14,23S. Reg
istration this year is the largest on
record, about 10000 and much
larger vote than last year is expected.

REVIVE SHEEP INDUSTRY
Was Message Which Secretary Hous-
ton Brouuht to New England.

Boston, Dec 14.-New England
ought to revive the sheep industry,
according to Hon. d. F. Houston Sec
retary of agriculture, who, speaking
at the monthly dinner of the Unitar-
ian club at Hotel Somerset last even-
ing, urged prosperous business men
of Boston and of all New England to
finance and aid in every way possible
the usage of New England pasture
land for sheep raising.
He declared his confidence that it
can be proftably done, but said that
one half the problem is providing for
financing the scheme and for market
ing the product.
Sec. Houston's address was devot-
ed in the main to describing the prob
lens that have been and are being
worked out by his department, which
now gives employment to 17,172 per-
sons, all save the three highest Of
ficers coming under civil services and
which has a regular budget of 1885,.
000,00 annually.
The secretary spoke Of the cooper
alton of his department with the gen.
eral education board, in which 1t Is
known as the farm demonstration
system. and said: when this law is
in full operation there will be expen-
ded annually from all sources from
SO 100000 to $12,000,000 for the di-
rect education of the farmer and his

THREE CORNtRED
MAYOR FIGHT IN
NORTH ADAMS
Annual Election in Tunnel City
Occurs Tomorrow
CITY is EXPECTED TO GO WET
Mayor Gale Seeks Reelection and Is
Opposed by Republican and
independent Candidates.

North Adams, Dec. 1.-THE annual
city election takes place Tuesday and
there is considerable interest in the
outcome Of the ngnt for mayorality
honors. Three candidates are in the
field Mayor John w. Gale seeks re-
elction on the Democratic ticket. He
was beaten for the nomination by At
torney John II. Mack but, when the
latter decided not TO accept the honor.
Mr.. Gale was named as his party's
representative through the commit
tee on vacancies. DR.. Wallace e.
Brown, who served three terms as
Mayor previous to last year. when he
was defeated by Mr.. Gale, is the Re-
publican nominee.
Ezra e. Whitaker, life long Re-
publican and former president of the
city council, is an Independent can
didate. 1t is generally conceded that
the fight rests between DR.. Brown and
Mr.. Whitaker although there are
those who believe that the split in the
ranks of the Republicans may pos
sibly result in Mr.. Gale coming
through a winner.
Aside from the mayoralty contest,
interest rests in the race for school
committeeman. DR.. f. ]. O'Hara and
Charles F. Frink are both candidates
for reelection but Frank A. Bond, a
Republican candidate promises to
give both a hard fight.
Mayor Gale has completed an in
vestigation regarding the high cost Of
coal in the city and, as a result. he
announced the local dealers are in no
way to blame for the advanced prices
which prevail. He states conditions
are brought aSUat Is ,he congested
freight traffic which causes delays in
shipments of coal from the mines.
Mayor Gale has received assurances
that the situation will soon be re-
lieved and that prices will lower.
