RESULT OF TOWN ELECTION
C. D. Wolfe Is Chosen Mayor And
0. C. Shaver Recorder.

At a mass meeting of citizens
held in the office of County Treas
urer ]. R. Metcalf Monday night
for the purpose of nominating a
ticket to be voted upon in the mu'
nicipal election Tuesday, the follow
ine ticket was agreed upon:
Mayor: G. D. Wolfe.
Recorder: O. C. Shaver.
Aldermen: C. D. Evans, c. L.
Coeer, ]. R. Edwards, E. E. Wasson
II. NJ McCord,
These nominees were elected
Tuesday,
The above gentlemen, with the
exception of one Of the aldermen
are splendid citizens who will no
doubt consider and protect the best
interests of the town, There are
a good many things this town needs
that il hasn't got, and then the
town has some things that ii
doesn't need. If those who desire
only the best things that are to be
had and the elimination of those
things that are not good for the
community will cooperate with
those who have been elected to fill
the offices the town will no doubt
not be long in presenting an i'm
proved appearance from more than
one standpoint.

OBJECTS TO TWO THINGS
Reader Would Not Have Voted As Did
Mr.. Yates On Two Propositions.

Editor Record:-I notice in your
last weeks paper that j. j. Lewis,
representative from Randolph
county, says some very compliment
tary things about our representa-
tive, Ben N. Yates. We are all
glad that Mr.. Yates stands well
among his neiehbors and colleagues.
and we consider him a good citizen
and conscientious representative.
But men will differ on matters OF
public policy and, without any in
tentiOn of harsh criticism OF Mr..
Yates, we wish to call attention to
two matters that came up in the
legislature about which we serious
ly differ with him.
The papers reported at the time
that Mr.. Yates spoke against the
bill TO reduce the rate of interest
from 70 ger cent to s per cent, and
argued that the bill would drive
capital from the state. That argu'
ment is so easily exploded and was
so thoroughly exploded by the Rec
ord's editorial on that subject at
the time the bill was defeated that
we feel further comment is unnec-
essary for the consideration of Rec.
ord readers. We have a friendly
difference with Mr. Yates on that
measure.
The papers reported that Mr.
Yates was among those representa-.
tives who favored submitting the
new constitution to the people
laeain, which came so close to being
done. 1t is a well known fact that
the vote in Sharp county was prac
'ically unanimous against the new
constitution when it was submitted
last December, and as the represen
tative Of the sentiment of the peo
pie of this county we have wondered
where Mr., Yates received his inspir
alton TO stand for another vote OF
the new constitution We have {
friendly difference with Mr.. Yatel
on that proposition.
We admire the earnestness anc
fairness with which the Record dis
cusses public men and measures
We look upon the Record as the
peoples friend, and think all ouI
citizens should give the paper their
support,
A Reader.

PROHIBITION.

The first prohibition law in the
 United States, that of Maine, was
 drafted by Neal Dow, the famous
 temperance reformer, who was born
 in Portland, Maine, 115 years ago to-
 day. The Maine Law suggested by
 Dow, an act Ito prohibit drinking houses and tippling shops" was pass
 ed in the spring of 1851, approved by
 the governo@ and was first enforced
 at Bangor on Independence Day.
 when a number of arrests were made
 for violation of the law. A really
 serious attempt to drive the demon
 rum" out of the Pine Tree State was
 made in 1853, when the search and
 seizure act for the confscation of liquors was passed. In 1856 the
 whole system of liquor legislation was
 repealed and a license law enacted, but two years later the Maine liquor law in all it's parts was re-enacted. In 1867 the Maine legislature took another whack at the prohibitory law and made it much more stringent, and appointed a state constable to en- force it's provisions. The constaBu- lary law was repealed a, year later In 1870 a bill to increase the .stria- gency of the law passed both: houses without opposition, and in 1872 cider and wine made from ATatae- grown fruits were included in the pToI1ibf- ton enactment. Dow, ''the Father of Prohibition" remained active in the cause until his death in 1897, but in spite of all efforts the Maine law was
 never as rigidly enforced. as similar
 laws later adopted by Southeri1z and Western states. .<

BUILDING BOOM
 FOR STAMFORD
Half Million Will Be Elk, pended in 1919- -Raybes-
 tos Will Move.
Especial to The Times.)

StratfOrd March 19-New buildings % be worth about one-half million of Sollars are expected to be erected in She town of Stratford this spring and work on some of the private dwellings will be started right away. The big gest building operation for this spring will be the addition to the Rayb estos factory on East Main street and the plans are now In the hands of con tractors for bids. The size of this addition which Is ITO feet by 40 feet is so large that the factory will be about double in size of the present factory.
 With the building of this factory it Is probable that the first step toward the removing of the Raybestos plant from Bridgeport will be taken as for some time past this concern has con- templated removing to this town. At present none of the automobile brake lining that has made this firm so famous is made in Stratford.
 Plumbing Contractor Harold c. Lowell has the contracts for the plumbing work of 30 houses that are to be built in town this spring and there are a large number of others for which permits will soon be taken out Most of the houses to be built are one-family and are to be erected for the owner to live in.
 Perhaps the largest number of houses to be built for one person are the 15 to be erected at Paradise Lawn by Harry Burnes who has recently purchased all this property and who intends to make the section one of he No field county.
 Demands for loans on real estate at the Stratford Trust Co. are so many that in order to accommoda all who desire to be assisted in their building operations by this bank the capital stock may be doubled. With the issuing of $50,OOO more of stock for this bank there will be this large sum available for loans and 1t would be eagerly snapped up by those wish ing to build in Stratford.
 Nothing definite has been taken re- garding the increasing of the capital stock of this trust company but at recent meetings of the directors the matter has been discussed. At @ meeting to be held in the near fu- IuTe SOInS dClOn VIII pTODaDly DC taken toward making the capita stock of this bank s1OO,0Oo.
 An item from an old family diary of one of the members of the Peck family of this town records the fact that Charles H. Peck was married to Phoebe Curtis on March IS, 1929 go years ago yesterday. The cere- mony was performed by the Rev. MT Clark of Bridgeport and the couple drove from Stratford in a sleigh. The item ill the diary further records the fact that the minister treated the newly married couple to cake and wine.
