 Plans have been completed and everything is in readiness for the opening offthe polls here to-day for what promises to be one of the most closely contested elections in many years.
 The largest vote ever recorded in Torrington is anticipated. The previous record was made at the last presidential election when a total of 5000 went to the polls here. The voting list has increased this year, however, by the addition of nearly 1,500 names, bringing the total enrolment to over 10000 so that if the usual percentage for a presidential election is maintained the vote here will be in excess of 1000.
 Leaders of both parties are con- |.fidently predicting victory. The leaders of both parties plead with the voters to vote as early as pos- sible to avoid congestion at the polls tonight.
 David Finn, democrat, was des- ignated to officiate as moderator at the polls. His selection as moder- ator will meet with general ap- proval as he is known for his fair ness and impartiality.
 In addition to voting for candi- dates to-day, the electors also will vote .'Yes" or No" on the question of repeal of the prohibition amend ments. The voting machines will be used.
 There are six tickets: democrat ic, republican, Socialist, Socialist labor, Communist and independent republican. The Torrington people will vote on eight presidential cleo tors, governor, lieutenant govern or, secretary, treasurer, comptrol- Ter, United States senator, con- gressman at large, congressman from fifth district, state senator, judge of probate, two represent atives and eleven justices of the peace.

Gleason, Martin Gormley, Fran cisf W. Hogan, Senator E. O.. Wright, Judge Richard Cooke and T. J. Lyons were among the speakers.
