All of tho ballot used and woman have had an opportunity to make themselves acquainted with 1t.
 Both the democratic and the re- publican town committees urge all women voters to go to the polls early. This applies to all men as we'll if they are not working in the factory. By doing this 1t will avoid a rush and crowd at the polls when the working man comes to cast his vote.
 The election tomorrow will decide whether Francis Doming or John T. Moiumphy will be the next repre- sentative from Berlin to the assembly in Hartford. MT. DcminE is running on tho republican ticket and MT. Molumphy on the democratic.
 The republicans Of the town seem to think that the town Of Berlin will be a landslide for the republican party. Some opposition has been rais- nd to tho statement by the democratic party as they claim they are much stronger with the vote of the women and will take several votes from the republican party. Nevertheless it re- mans for the results tomorrow to de- eide the question of the day.

Head Of state Body

Reading, Pa, July 2S.-Chief Ed
ward T. Hallissey. of the police force
of Haverford township, Delaware coun e
ty, whose crusades against auto speed
ers and "spooners" have caused many
arrests in Philadelphia suburban dis
tricts, is being doomed for the presi-
dency of the Pennsylvania Chiefs of
Police Association, whose seventh an
nual convention is now in session here,
and is regarded as very likely posi-
bility.
Chief Hallissey yesterday identified
passing motorist on Penn street as
Michael Corcoran, who has been wanted
in Haverford township for several weeks
on a charge Of larceny.
Hallissey traced his man by tcle-
phone down the Philadelphia pike as far
as Norristown and there had him ar
rested by one of Halissey's own men.
Corcoran, it is charged, has stolen
eleven autos.
Today will be devoted to the business
session of the convention, and this eve
ming the visiting chiefs will be enter
tained at a dance on the summit of
Mount Penn.
