AUTOS AND TROLLEYS FOR VOTERS AN Candidates Straining Every Effort 1o Get Supporters Out—Mayor Hal- _ loran to Tender Banquet to Demo- . cratic Delegates. The eyes of New Britain will be turned to the state armory on Arch street and LeWitt’s hall on Main street tonight when the republican and democratic caucuses will be held in these respective places. Outside of the fifty-one delegates at the democratic gathering it s ‘doubttul if any other voters attend as the three-cor- nered fight for the republican nomina- vtion for mayor which will be waged on the floor of the state armory. It promises tq be a political battle that will make history and will eclipse in numerical strength and hard work any other political race ever run in New Dritain. As may be‘seen from the statements given to the Herald by Howard M. Steels, George A. Quigley and E. W. »Schultz, the candidates for mayor, cach is supremely confident of victory. However, none will let up on the work to get his friends to the ballot boxes. No Need of Walking. The candidates for - the mayoralty, nomination will have automobiles: at the disposal of their supporters to take them to the caucus. Mr. Schultz has gone a step farther and has hired eight special trolley cars’'to take the vcters of the third ward, his strong- held, to the armory. Two cars will be run down West Main street to the ar- mory on each trip at 6:45, 7:00, 7:15 and 7:30 o’clock. Opinions, heard at random on the “'street are at such variance that the winner will be'in doubt until the last vote is counted. Three persons, in- terviewed in three minutes, have a different opinion each as to'the re- sult. It appdars to be a matter of personal frieridship or enthusiasm. Loomis vs. Covert, Second only ih comparison to the fight for the mayoralty nomination is the battle between Bernadotte Loomis and Richard J. Covert for the nomina- tion for tax collector. Both candidates have hustled within the last week and have been assured of support from all sides. Both are in a confident mood. In addition to the_mayoralty and tax collectorship nominations the caucus will choose a candidate for .city clerk, city treasurer, city comp- troller, a registrar of voters, .twe members of the school board, two candidates for the board of relief and four constables. It is safe to pre- dict that Col. A. L. Thompson, the present incumbent will be nominated for city clerk unanimously. A con- test is on between Registrar of Vot~ ers William H. Scheuy and William Zeigler for the nomination as regis- trar. The former is said to have the inside track. The caucus Wwill open at 7:30 o’clock sharp and accommo- dations for the overflow will be found in the Union laundry building across the street. Ten voting booths have been erected to accommodate the electors. Entrance to hall will be by the front door and exit from the hall by the side doors. Chief Rawlings thas de- tailed fourteen policemen to preserve order. There will be no nominating speeches either in the mayoralty of llx collectonhip contests. Caucus Officials. Judge J. E.

Kochersperger, a vice president of the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford Railroad company in charge of its finances and accounts, was served with a subpoena today to appear with other railroad officers and local bankers before the interstate com- merce commission at Washington on Friday next to give information con- cerning the Billard company which bought stock holdings of the New Haven company in the Boston and Maine railroad. The subpoena appears to be broad- er in its scope than others which have been served here in that it com- | mands Mr. Kochersperger to pro- | duce books and accounts of the Bil- lard company, the New England Se- curities company Wwhich held trolley properties in Massachusetts, the New England Navigation company which holds the marine properties of the New Haven company, and also books ! and accounts of the New Haven road itself. Mr., Kochersperger has been granted leave of absence as president until July 1 when his r nation becomes effective. NEW BRITAIN ““YANKEES”: ATTACKED BY DR. OHMAN Writes Stirring Polmcal Ar- ticle in Swedish Lutheran Church Paper. The ‘“Yankees” of New Britain are at- tacked openly in a strong political ar- ticle published in the current issue of “Tempelklockan,”. the Swedish Lu- theran church paper, which is edited by Rev. Dr. S. G. Ohman. That they ‘have not shown an inclination to give the people of foreign birth a fair chance in politics is the sense of the pastor’s review, and he suggests that it is high time that some Swedish res- ident be given an office of respon- sibility in the city building. Teking for an illustration the won- ‘derful progress during the past few vears of the local Polish contingency, incidentally paying a tribute to Father Bojnowski, and attributing the same to mutual co-operation, Dr. Ohman makes an ardent plea to his country- men to work together. Such actlon; he writes, will gain a stronger stand- ing in this municipality for the Swed- ish people. The “Yankees” have, from time to time, betrayed the poor judgment of considering themselves as the only Americans, asserts the pastor and, in the pursuit of their ambitions have trampled upon all others whom they branded as mere foreigners. They have even taken it upon themselves to act as the political guardians of thése aliens, it is explained, and, as a means of receiving the support of the so-called foreigners, the “Yan- kees” have taken into’ their confidence a few representatives of the European races and have conferred upon them the privilege of acting as their errand boys to secure votes for them or their candidates. If then, one of these foreigners has taken a firm stand, asserted his rights, demanded acknowledgement and evinced a desire to do something for the advancement of his race, bitter cries of ‘‘unreasonable demands” have been heard from every side. Even the Swedes have fallen prey to. this pro- | cedure, says the clergyvman. Reference is made in the artiele to the fact that City Clerk Thompson turned down a Swedish candidate for the position of deputy clerk last year, insinuating with a touch of irony, that even an assistant’s capacity has been adjudged too good for a Scandinavian. The republican party has always claimed to own a monopoly on the Swedish-American vote, states the writer, but very seldom has it com- pensated any one of the sons of the land of the midnight sun, with ap- pointment to a decent ofiice. The people should wake up to these facts, | he asserts, and express their senti- ment in regard to them at the polls. That the Lutheran clergyman has watched activities in the republican party during the winter is evidenced by the reference he makes to the Dutch suppers. He informs his read- ers that several candidates have been hungering for the mayoralty nomina- tion and comments humorously, that they must have been ravenously huii- gry judging from, the number of Dutch suppers which have been held. to be presumed, however, that there has been more talking than eating at these affairs, he adds. Regarding the coming election, Dr. Ohman, gives Mayor Joseph M. Hal- loran his hearty endorsement and pre- dicts a victory for him by a large majority. It may seem that the'public is eu- titled to a more lengthy explanation of his change from the republican to the democratic party, says the pastor in another article. He does not con- sider that action se important as to necessitate an inferpretation at this time when his arguments might seem It 15 | an attempt to affect the result of {the election. WOMEN WILL DECIDE FATE OF SALOONS 324 Townships in Ilinois to Settle Liquer Treffic Today. SUFFRAGETTES RUN FOR COUNCIL Extra Ileavy Police Details on Duty in Chicago Wards Where Contests Arc Close—Great Excite- ment Prevails. Chicago, April 7.—Upon the votes today of women depended the fate of more than 3,000 saloons in Illinois outside of Chicago. In 324 town- ships in sixty-seven counties they went to the polls to express their at- titude toward the liquor traffic. Fifty thousand down-state women were eligible to vote. If there was any hope that inclement weather would keep the women in their homes it was blasted by the early returns. The local option question was not voted on in LaSalle county, Judge Craig of the state supreme court hav- ing last hight issued a' writ of super- sedeas preventing consideration of the proposition. Tighting Was Frequent. At Pana, Christian county, the peti- tion to place the local option question on the ballot was thrown out by court | action and a new one was filed, but so late printers were compelled to work all night to get out new ballots. Several men tried to break through the guard which the anti-saloon forces placed about the printing shop and fist fighting was frequent. Twen~ ty-one saloons are .involved in the county. Every available policeman and a large force of extra deputy sheriffs ‘were sworn in and placed on guard at the polls at Springfield to prevent threatened trouble. Anti-saloon work- ers asserted that 200 saloons in the capital would be voted out of ex- istence before nightfall, and feeling was running high, Defeated in Past. At Bloomington, Quincy and Free- port local option has been defeated in the past by a small majority anqg the enemies of the saloon were de- pending uson votes of the women to win for their cause. 9 For the first time in Chicago women today went to the polls and enjoyed equal rights with the men -in-an al- dermanic election. B More than 217,500 women had registered, and election officials esti- niated that more than eighty per cent. of those registered woudl vote today. The number of men l‘egl!(ered totalled 455,288, For fear that many of the ‘women might spoil their ballots in casting their first vote, nearly a half million extra ballots were distributed at the pclls, Fresh ballots were given to those who requested them. Police Details on Duty. Extra heavy police details were on duty in several of the wards where there are close contests. Although twelve important proposi- tions appeared on.the ballot besides names of the aldermanic candidates, most of the interest in today’s election was in the success of the eight women candidates for council and the general result of the women'’s vote. > One of the propositions voted on tcday provides for the building of a comprehensive subway system at a ccst of $130,000,000. The polls opened at 6 o’clock and closed at 4 o'clock. BOY'S BODY FOUND. Leopold Kowalski of Bristol Drowned in Birge’s Pond.

Hartford, April 7.—The contested divorce actlon of Rosalie Hooker Welling, daughter of Former Senator and Mayor Edward W. Hooker, against Willlam C. Welling, an in- structor at Trinity college, went on trial in the superior court today. The charge is intolerable cruelty. Mrs. Welling testified to her mar- riage on October 3, 1911, and said she is twenty-one years of age. She sald they had their first trouble in ‘Washington, D. C., in April, 1912, when her husband neglected her and at a skating rink pulled a chair from under her, injuring her. A similar episode was in Hartford a month later. She said that the following July, while she was on a sofa ‘having a crying spell,” her husband put his hand over her mouth, nearly smoth- ering her. 1In *January, 1913, after returning from a dance her husband pushed her into the gutter, spraining her ankle, and that he then ran away. She declared that her husband had humiliated her by not noticing a friend of hers and when she spoke of it to him he secured a revolver, brandished it, pointed it at himself and then at her and said: “One of ug had better go!” Suffered Many Indignities. Another instance of alleged cruelty was the throwing of a broken sofa leg at her. She declared she had suffered many indignities as well as cruelties. “Mr. Welling was always cruel on Sundays,” said the wife. ‘“‘He wus silent, cold and'frequently angry. One day when he was cutting bread he | threatened me with a knife.” She saild that when she told him she was tired of paying for his cig- arettes he hurled a heavy book at her.
