New Haven, Conn Sept IA United
States Senator Frank b. Brandegee,
in a letter to Col. l. NJ. Ullman, says
he hopes the Legislature will ratfy
the Suffrage Amendment at the spec

Heretofore Senator Brandegee has
been an outspoken opponent Of the
Woman Suffrage by Federal amend.

In view Of the fact that the val
idity Of the ratification of the amend

been questioned and that the result Of
the entire election throughout the
country may be mperilled thereby,
and In consideration Of the fact that
the amendment it certain to be ratifi-
ed by more than the required number
of states as soon as their Legislatures
assemble, | earnestly hope that the
Legislature Of Connecticut will prompt
VI atify the amendment.
THE country has decided that wom-
en- shall have the right to vote. | am
convinced, therefore. that this right
should be made unquestonable by the
action of as great a number of States
as is possible before the coming elec-

AIM TIC MAKE SCOTLAND DRY
Campaign Starts in Earnest-Pussy
foot johnson Encaued.

Ednburg. Aug, 23-The campaign
to make Scotland dry has been start
ed in earnest by the National Citizens
Council Under the provisions of the
Temperance (Scotland Act, which
enables the electors to decide by a
vote whether the country shall go dry,
reqUisition forms demanding a pol on
the no-licenge question have been issu-
ed.
In order to secure a poll 10 per cent
of the electors in each area must sign
the requistion forms. Should this b.
forthcom ng the next stage will be the
taking of the vote which will decide
whether the people shall have no Ii.
cen es, or fewer licenses in their own
areas, or no change.
Temperance enthusiasts believe that
although Scotland may not 60 dry this
year the no-license" resolution wild
be carried in many municipal wards
They have obtained the services of w.
F.. tPussyfootl Johnson, who will ad-
dress number of meetings next
month. On the other hand the liquor
tradeemen are also arranging for a
series Of meetings at which prominent
speakers will describe the effects Of
prohibition in America The liquor
dealers charge that the act aims "a
deadly blow at the hard won liberty
Of the people"

WOMEN VOTERS
PARTICIPATE IN
FIRST PRIMARY
Total Number of Ballots Cast
Not Above Normal
NO SURPRISES IN RESULT
Political Students All at Sea Over
GoVernorshlp But Other Pre-
dictlon9 Verified.

Bennington people, like all Yer
monters, took a keen interest in the
first primary in which the women
voters participated. With the en-.
arged check list the vote was large
but no larger than the total cast at
some elections The women expert
enoed little or no difficulty in eXer-
cising their new privilege and today
they are insisting that they didn't
cast one.half of the one hundred
and eighty or more ballots that were
thrown out as defective. Some OF
the women appeared to be a little
diflident but on the whole they
seemed tc derive considerable enjoy
ment in helping to make the govern
ment
Other than the four-cornered fight
for the republican nomination for
governor, there were two local con.
tests OF widespread interest, the
races for sheriff and probate Judge.
Previous to the counting of the bal
lots there were all kinds OF predic-
tions concerning the result for COVER
nor, The figures produced surprises
for many.
AS regards the contests for sheriff
and probate Judge, the consensus Of
opinion was verified. The political
sharks contended that Sheriff Perry
b. Gardner would be nominated by a
larger majority over Richard T.. Hur
ley than two years ago. There was
surprise in the vote for probate
judge, The wiseacres looked for the
denomination of Judge E. c. Bennett
and the surprise was in the large
vote cast for Osro r. Clayton.

Comm ssioner Kramer's forthcoming
annual report will show that it has
been impossible to enforce the dry

This is ind Gated by reports com

cities like New York. Chicago Phila-

was when the Nation went dry, if one
knows "the ropes
Mr. Kramer will ask for an increase
in funds to combat the Illicit liquor
traffic throughout the country. Two
million dollars or more will be est m.
ated for thecfght on blockade runners
along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
where the best of bottle and bond is
being brought in in boats daily.
