If If Snooper, the head of the tem-
mace movement in this state, at,
his home to Kensfngton. today. ex-
reared gratification at the result of
the vote yesterday on the license ques-
tion in the towns of the state He said
Wt the fact that several towns which
had previously gone license and which
yesterday voted no license. would spur
on the modem! Women interested in
mpcmnce and that the next election
would see even greater results than
ere accomplished this year. Mr.
Speeder kept in touch with the elec-
tions in many of the towns but the
storm interrupted the telephone ser-
yids, and it was not until today that
he heard definitely from some of the
towns where a close vote was expect-
ed. .Mr. Spooner said that never he-‘
tore had the temperance peolile of‘the
tateéworkedas they did this year, he
himself making twenty-nine addresses
during the last sixteen days. He spoke
in almost a score of towns.
. The vote yesterday on the Constitu-
,. \tlonal amendment which would in-
crease the pay of legislators from 8300
, to $500 and also increase the terms of
judges of probate from two to four
' years, showed clearly that the citizens
of the state are satisfied to let the
constitution stand as it is. The returns
show that the vote of the state will
firebably be at least two to one against
revision of the constitution. Eighty
towns have been heard from showing
a vote of 7,150 for a revisiou and 11,-
304 against.

.To speak with“
r opinions. and to l
fictional Guard
Although it is reported that the
Third Regiment officers, at their meet-
ing in Bridgeport, Friday night, were
tion to change the regiment into an
artillery crops. it seems that the pro
position is not without strong sup-
porters. Richard Bavard‘writes as fol-
lows to the Greenwich News, com-
mentlng upon an interview with Gen~
oral Havens. printed in the Sentinel:
Geersl Haven was AdjutanhGenernl
of the State at a time when there was
no coast artilleryein the State mill.
tin, and it is plainly evident to the
initiated that, whatever may have
been his knowledge of other arms of
the service, he doesn‘t know a whole
l'ot'about coast artillery. Also it up-
hears that he has not a very high
opinion of the intelligence and ability
of the officers and men who fake up
the National Guard of his own State.
“When he says that not one officer
in twenty-five is fit. to be an artillery
officer, he certainly casts a slur on his
State, for other States, notably Mus-
sachusetts and New York have deve-
loped many artillery officers, whose ef.
flclency compares very favorably with
that 0 {regular officers. Why can't
Connecticut, then? Are her citizens so
greatly inferior to those of Massachu-
setts and New York in intelligence?
“Tits remarks indicating that it is
necessary for the enlisted men of the
coast artillery to understand algebra
are absurd. If he had ever as much
as entered a United States artillery
post, he could never have made such
an observation. Does he imagine that
the rank and file of the U. S. Artillery
are university graduates? Yet they
seem to get along all right. As a mat:
ter of fact. all the necessary data. for
gunners have been worked out by
expert mathematicians and converted
into tables which are at the disposal
of gunners. There is no more neces-
‘sity for the knowledge of the higher
mathematics among enlisted men in
the artillery than there is for it among
carpenters and stone masons who have
to follow architects’ plans. Does he
know that a large proportion of the
officers in the artillery today were
transferred from volunteer regiments
which served in the Spanish war, re
giments which differed little in their
personnel from those of the C. N. G. "
The writer personally served in a post
where of the dozen or more artil»
lery officers there was only one West
Pointer.
“The officer who assumes that the
enlisted men are not enthusiastic
about the change is mistaken or he
misrepresents the facts. If he could
have been at Fort Wright at the close
of the recent manoeuvers he could not
have failed to discover the enthusiasm
of the men for the artillery service.
And why shouldn‘t they be enthusias-
tic? There they always found some-
thing to learn and be interested in. it
was not continually a case of 'squads
right and squads left—series of ma-
chine- like manoeuvers that horses are
almost readily trained to perform as
well as men, and which call for practi-
cally no real show of intelligence on
the part of the privates.
"it does require study to becomes
good artillery soldier Thul' s Just why
the National Guard should provide
good artillery soldiers. It is generally
granted that the personnel of the Na-
tional Guard is superior to that of the
regular service in point of intelligence
and education. It is also freely admit
ted that in respect to physical fitness
and training it is inferior. In infantry
and cavalry the qualities most called
for are strength, endurance and those
things which ourdoor life and training
in the gymasium produce. In the
artillery a man is more often called
upon to use his brains than his
brawn.
“Throw the average militiamen into
the field as an infantry soldier subject
hot to long marches, starvation, and
fatigue as men in the infantry
and cavalry service, and he soon be-
comes as did the volunteers in the last
war. a sick man, a useless expense to
the government. 011 the other hand
put him in a fortification. fairly well
fed and with a place to sleep, as the
artilleryman is, and give him guns
which he has been taught to handle
scientifically and he soon becomes as
good as the regular.
“There can be little question that
the province of the citizen soldier is

P111teil,of Danbury, took place, yes-
terday morning at 8. 30 o ',clock at St.
Joseph 8 Catholic Church, in Danbury,
Rev. J. D Kennedy officiating. The
marriage was solemnized with a nup-
tial mass.
The bride wore a traveling gown of
brown chiffon broadcloth and a hat
to match.’ She was attended by her
sister, Miss Lucy A. Purteli, who wore
a blue gown and hat of the same
shade. The best man was Andrew J.
Collins, of South Norwalk. The wed-
ding was a. very quiet affair, only the
immediate members of the families of
the bride and groom being present.
The wedding march was played by
Miss Mary Cunningham. organist of
St, Joseph’s Church, Daubury, who
also sang Gounod's Ave Maria.
The wedding party had breakfast at
the home of the bride, on Rose Hill
before the church ceremony, and went
immediatey from the church to the
railroad station They drove to Bethe!
and took the 10: 09 train from Bethe]
After a week's trip up the Hudson
they will live at 97 Ruse Hill, Danbury.
where they will have newly-furnished
apartments.
The wedding presents were many
and of a substantial and handsome
character. Mr Keane is foreman of
the finishing department of thc' Millard
hut factory, and the bride, who is a.
musician of considerable ability. is the
solo contralto of St. Joseph's Catholic
Church.

yesterday, lasted all night and today
and the figures of the vote given the
‘ various candidates were the subject of
much scrutiny The defeat of the Re-
publican ticket creept in the case of
Town Clerk Fred. Whittaker, is attri-
buted to a desire on the part of the
voters at large to change the officials
at City Hall. The cutting of the Re-
publican ticket was general all over
the city and was least effective in the
Tenth Ward. which is more than
three to one Republican. it was knOWn
beyond doubt during the day yesterday
that the colored voters. of whom there
are more than 00 in the Ninth and
Tenth Wards, ware voting for Mr. Mar
tin, the Democratic candidate for nun
yor, by pasting QVel‘ Senator Chat
field's name on the Republican ballot.
This was being done despite the fact
that one of their owu race was on the
ticket for selectmau. He went down
City
clerk Street, a former newspaperman
and very popular, received a heavy
vote from the Democrats, but he lost
by a margin of 447 to James J. Devine,
the Democratic candidate. Lewis S.
Welch former editor of,,the Yale Alu
mnl Weekly. was sacrificed by the
party as Francis G. Anthony was re
elected for tax collector by a fajority
of over 2, 300 and City Treasurer Storng
was defeated by former Treasurer,
Henry Frcsenius, the well kuoWn bre~
war, by over 1, 300. -
Town Chairman MacDonald is great-
ly surprised at the outcome, and ot-
tributes it. purely to a desire of the vo
ters to try a Democratic administration
and the next city government will be
almost wholly that way. Col. Ullman
and Mr. Chntfleld have little cumment
to make. The successful Democratic
candidate agree in an opinion that con-
ditions had 11 shaping themselves
in the past few ears to a homoerotic
victory and the combination of time
and ticket came-yesterlhry.’ Tn politi-
cal circles there is a claim that the
Democratic vlch'ii'y is opportune for
the reason in tilt will compel the
National comm ties to give fore than
perfunctory attetniou to this city and
the state in the next presidential can
vuss, and under the aggressive chain
manshlp of Attorney David S. Fitz-
Gerald the city may provq debatable
ground in ”1ng 1 state campaign.
This is the lgklaticratlc view while
among Republic s the Opinion was
held that yesterday's Democratic vlc~
tory here and in Waterbury will
count for little in the greater contest
of next year. Among the colored
men it was pointed out that the voters
of the race, who have ".Nlierctofore
been mostly Republican took the op.
portunlty to show their attitude again-
the action of lineskicni Roosevelt in
the Brotvnsvillc affair Many of the
the prominent Republicans interviewed
those colored men who were working
openly yesterday unloug their fellows
against the Republican ticket, and it
was stated that no grcvance, against
any individual candidate was cited one
colored fan saying that the idea was
to determine just what power the coin-
rcd citizens had in town words. There
was so much more posting on the Re-
publican tickets than auticpated, the
strength or the socallcd colored vote
is not apparent.
