As 8 result of the murder of De-

the arrest OF Mayor Smith OF that
city, the citizens have been greatly
stirred. Perhaps never in the history
stirred Perhaps never in its history
was there witnessed such an indigna-

After the Academy OF Music had been

Speakers In automobiles were listened

1t is to be hoped that the people
win recognize the cause OF Philadel-

steps to remedy conditions. What are
the facts? The same old story; the

and tratford also went dry. Bristol
was the only town of importance that
went from dry TO wet,
The issue was brought up in sixty
six towns. Many Of them did not
change their status.
One OF the notable things about the
election was the fight in Milford,
which resulted IN the swinging OF that
town from the wet column into the
dry ranks for the first time In ten
years Large measure OF thu success
OF this effort is to be credited to the
help which John L. Sullivan, former
pu gilistic champion, gave the Milford
drys.
Sullivan spoke In Milford. and many
OF the drys are crediting him with
having administered the Knockout
blow to the liquor interests.
Dry men OF the state are confidently
predicting that when the state as q
