Wore on Wet or DRY

An election for three commissioners
is being held today in the city of Bev
erly. The principal issue is whether
the city shall continue without liquor
bars, as it has for about a year past
Business efficiency in conducting the
city's affairs is another issue.
Neither of the present incumbents
DIR. James V. Roberts nor Rev. vii.
liam I. Snead-is candidate for re-
election. The two commissioners split
on the liquor issue year ago, when
the resignation of former Mayor Jo-
seph w. Halle left them as the only
members of the commission. They
nave been at swords points on nearly
every other municipal subject since.
Liquor dealers, in an effort to come
pack, twice carried their fight to the
STATE supreme Court, which in each
instance sustained Commissioner
Snead' s move that keptlthe city ''drv.s
Candidates on the dry ticket are
three young business men-George n
HUFF, Morris r. II. Levin and Arthur
v. Woolston. The ''wets" have named
former Commissioner Thomas Lee and
two brothers-Edward X. Perkins and
Howard Perkins. Lee favors reducing
the number of licensed pla :es in the
city to two.

brought by Clifford S. Price, is denied.
This means the ferry company, which
is of vital interest in the communica-
ton between Burlington and Bristol,
will continue to have its ferry slip at
the same location. Price alleged the
company had not only defaulted in
the payment of interest on mortgages
held by him, but had failed to abide
by the provision of the lease with re-
spect to keeping the property in proper
repair. Testimony before the Vice
Chancellor, however, convinced him
that the company had done all that it
could and that tender Of the rental

dorsed the National Constitution Pro
hibition amendment with dispatch
to President Wilson asking his support
for same.
| Mrs. Mary Wright, the Oldest mem
Der of the Burlington Baptist church
read the Scripture lesson for the day
which was followed by business SEES
sion and greeting from Miss Rebecca
Beugless, of the Burlington organiza
ton; Miss Emily Hopkins, of the Y
P. B., and Rev. T. NJ Eastwood, pastor
of the convention church. Mrs. Clara
Haines, of Mount Holly, made the

dered vocal solo. Rev. Frederick

The subject. 'Our Country and its
Needs as Seen by Me-" was ably pre-
sented by Mrs. Ella Hoover Thatcher
of Washington, d. G.
In the evening Mrs. Mary Harris
Armour, the well-known temperance
orator, addressed a large congregation
and set forth in mastery manner the
ills of the liquor traffic. Mrs. Armour
likened the war Of to-day as war fol
/ liberty and as the war would end i
would mean new glory for the stripe;
and new Joy for the stars on the flag
and said "Unless we give up drink, we
will have harder fight because Goo
will not honor a country that has tina
business. To-day we are on the verg'
of hunger, if not famine, as the Allies
depend on US and there is shortage o
food stuffs. If we let 100000, 900 bus
hels of wheat, and millions of bushels
of rye, corn, barley and other grain!
be burned, figuratively, and then let
flood strike the Mississippi valley
America will grow hungry and all thu
wealth OF the world will not change
conditions.
| Mrs. Armour wound up her remarks
by stating that alcohol was not fit fol
modern warfare, as it requires men o
skill. and il. was responsible for the in
crease of death rate which was twice a!
large as the births. Unchastity anC
the saloon are twins. Liquor is /
menace to the flag, and if our men dt
not have it they can get the Kaiser anC
licked when he wore knee pants.
