where official ballots were not used
 have been taken to the United
 States District Court for decision,
 A. far as can be discovered, public
 opinion has concluded that such
 was the proper method of procdeure
 TEat procedure was invited by the
 majority of the membres of the
 canvassing board at the time they
 made their decision. People un-
 derstand that there was division
 among the members of the board
 one of the members voting to ex- clude returns from certain precincts
 They also understand that the pre- cedents are in favor of the re-
 jection of fatally irregular returns. Two years ago the present canvass ing board eleminated 190 votes. In
 1912, 150 were discarded, and in
 1910 about 2,000 were eliminated Further than that, this year the yalidit. of the the Australian bal lot law is at stake, and with it the character of future election law legislation. Tn addition to all this, the overwhelmingly elected Attor- ney-General, whose ability and know ledge of the law and professional and official integrity are unques- toned by any one, differed from the oDinion of the majority of the can yassing board. Under the circum- stances, it is generally believed, tha+ there was nothing else to do but to follow the wishes of the caTs yasSing board that the matter be taken into the courts. It is thor Oughly understood that there was in this action that reflects to the slightest degree in any man. ner whatever upon the majority of the canvassing board and it's action. People fail to see in the situation a personal contest-they see mat ;ers of vital importance that they feel should be adjudicated

The War Rally at Woodstock
Enthusiasm Aroused by Earnest Speakers

Enthusiasm Aroused by Earnest Speakers A large and enthusiastic audience attended the war rally at Woodstock Academy on Tuesday evening. Hon. Herbert w. Bowen was chairman, Miss Prescott was the musical director and Robert P. Butler of Hartford was the speaker. The following WAS the program:
 Singing of Star Spangled Banner. 7 Appeal by the chairman to the audience to invest in Thrift Stamps and to increase the membership of the Red Cross.
 Singing of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
 Introduction by the Chairman of MT. Butler.
 Speech by MT. Butler.
 Singing of America.
 MT. Buffers speech was scholarly, eloquent, and convincing. He ex- planned the insidious and despicable philosophy of the German military and Junker classes, proved how il threatens the very existence of democ- racy, and left no doubt in the minds Of his auditors that we must dedicate our lives and our fortunes unstintingly to the great and noble task of ridding the world of the malignant peril.
 MT. Bowen, after congratulating MT. Butler on his enlightening and siimu- lating speech, described the scene al Berlin in 1873 when the Monument ol Victory was unveiled in. the "Thier GaTlen." MT. Bowen, who at that time was a mere lad, was invited to attend the ceremony by George Ban croft, our minister at Berlin al that time. He saw old Emperor William, Bismarck, and Non Moltke, all the German princes including the presen, Emperor, and the other principal dig nllaries of the new German Empire gathered before the great monument. That was Germany's proudest day, and as Mr. Bowen pointed out, it pro babI, had an immense influence on the immature mind of young Prince William, now the Emperor, in deter mining him to seek world dominion. MT. Bowen concluded his remarks by reading the following original poem:
 THE GREAT WAR The Hun, ignoring reason and right. And relying only on guile and might, las oh hsllenged the civilized world to
 fight,
 In order to rule it as his own From his hideous III Hohenzo;lern throne. But reason and right are DemocFscy's 8
 creed,
 And Democracy's willing 10 battle and
 bleed
 That endure they may in spirit and 1t accepts the challenge of the Devils
 own
 On his hideops HoheDzollern throne. nDown with the Hunp' Democracy cries,
 "And with all that Autocracy means and i'm plies" And the outraged people in their wrath arise,
 And will hurl the Han with his heart nf stone
 From nis mucous Honenzoilern throne
