Norwich bulletin., 1917-10-02


 notable gains were made by the mo- license forces in the little town cleo lions in Connecticut today in the an- nual battle against the saloon. Sixty two towns had the question of 1icens- ing saloons on their ballots out of the 160 which held electors meetings. Ten towns which have been wet the past year swung into the dry column, while only three went from no-license to license. On the part of the tenn perance forces the campaign in some of the towns was vigorous and there was general interest in the\outcome.
 The towns which went from wet" Piainvilie. New Milford, Haddam, Manchester Ellington, Windsor, Strat- ford and Suffield. Those which went from no-license to license were Ca naan, Harwintor and Sfmsbury.
 On the population basis, the changes were of importance, as Milford, Strat- ford, P1ainville and Manchester have many industrial workers, while the three towns which broke away from the no-license column have no indus tries Windsor voted no-HcGnse for the first time in it's history, while Suff7eld has had saloons for Al years on 2 stretch and has voted no-license but twice in 150 years.
 The standing of the towns on this, the coming year, will be: License 70, no-Hcense 9s, a net gain of seven as compared with the year just ending.
