I . 1 The two hotly'contested questions of School Consolidation and License, pro and con, stirred up Old Norwalk as never before in a Town Election. The vote it will be seen is phenomenally large, but in both town and our city the entire Republican tickets were elected. ‘ At South Norwalk the Republicans lost their candidate for Mayor by the ele'dtion of popular Dr. Bohannan, and two Councilmen. The paster never got 1n so much fine work before. The majority for license was a sur- prise to'its best friends. whelmingly defeated friends of No License, ”need not halt‘in‘ their labors. » There is work enough at hand for them to do in stopping illegal sales. All in all, it wasa most memorable g town election day, in all the Nor-Walks and its like We shall not sOo11 see again. .i A noticable and commendable feature of the day- was the entire absence of intoxication and. the universal good . nature that everywhere prevailed.

The Republicans carried Stamford by the remarkable plurality .of 1,000 votes.’ There were three tickets in the fibld,Republican and two Democratic —gold and silver. Danbury elected two Democratlc and one Republican selectman. The rest of the ticket was Republican. Greenwich gave seventy-five Repub- lican majority but elected two Demo- cratic Selectmen. Ridgefield gave an average Republi- can majouty of 150. Stratford went Republican and voted license, and the Republicans won the day in Easton. I The Republican ticket was elected in Weston. The Republican ticket made a clean sweep in Fairfield yesterday, the aver- age majority being about 75. The li- cense majority was 229. The day was very quiet, the only excitement being the stealing of some 500 no license bal- lots. This delayed the vote somewhat ond also makes a difference of about 20 in the vote. For the first time in its history, the Democrats of the sterling old Demo- cratic town of Newtown failed to . .. rv their local ticket or indeed, for 1.. 3 ticket that they supported. Yesterday they elected but one selectman, to which office they were entitled under the law of minority representation on this board, and town treasurer, which latter result was due to the personal un- pOpularity of the opposing candidate. 'The reverse that is the most crushing is the defeat of Michael J. Houlihan, the erstwhile autocrat of the town and the candidate for Congress against Hon. E. J. Hill. He was beaten for the office of town clerk by Frank Wright, a young, printer, by the narrow margin of two votes. _ At the City Polls. It was 9:30 o’clock before the counters finished their work of counting the ballots. The number of envelopes given out , was 1034 as against 905 last year.’ [CONTINUED ON PAGE 4] B—flN’I MISS THEM.
