ATTORNEY McDONOUEH MAKES HIT and Candidates for Alling, Troy .- Council Have Large Audiences i) Third, Fifth and Sixth—War Waged Against Quigley. . The republican party ~was bom- barded last night by democratic spellbinders who toured the city and aimed ball and shrapnel at the re- publican nominee for mayor. The trip was accomplished with the aid of automobiles and the Y. M. T. A. ‘& B. drum corps and plenty of red fire. woke up the residents along the of march. . Three wards were visited and in Jeach the candidates for election to the common council addressed their constituents-to-be = and appealed to them to vote the democratic ticket from the top to the bottom. =~ The first stop was made at the corner of Curtis and Myrtle streets. Attorney .W. F. Delaney, chairman of the dem- ocratic town committee, _ introduced L, P. Mangan and Henry G. Benz as fhe (next councilmen from the third ward. Each was given an enthu- tic reeeption.

I can't do it and no other individual in the council can do it.” When P. F. McDonough was intro- cduced he was greeted with prolonged cheers. “This campaign was opened by our cpponents with an invasion of the fifth ward and I felt hurt when I heard it was shaky as this is the dis- trict I tramped around in when I was a boy,” said Attorney McDonough. “In many ways our opponents have misrepresented us, but I count on your intelligence to rebuke them. ““Our friends”—Attorney McDonough used the term ‘“friends” continually when referring to the republican party—have told you that this ward has been neglected. You men who live here know different from that. Broad street has been macadamized, Orange street has been graded and re- surfaced, Grove street has been fixed up to a certain extent, plenty of elec- tric lights have been put in, Washing- ton street hag been resurfaced and a number of streets have been sewered. Don’t take the statements of a man from the lower end of the city. His telk shouldn’t be allowed to go. How are you going to resent it? Talk to your. friends and tell them the true conditions. Show them what improve- ments have been made under the preseat administration. Don’t take the word of a ‘blusterer’ or a ‘breeze.’ Appeals to Prejudice. “Probably you have been told that rermanent pavement has not been laid up in this section. That is true but you know better than to believe the assertion that it was laid for the ‘silk stocking’ element and not for you. Tt ‘'was laid for all of us in the section where it would be of greatest benefit to the general 'public, Don’t allow anyone to appeal to your prejudice. You can use your own intelligence and that will show you that class argu- ments shouldn't go. \ “We hear that our friends depend on jthe democratic voters to elect them. If they 'can’t be elected by their own party why should they ap- peal to you? “We also hear that our: friends are claiming credit for new fire escapes put on factorles and schools. That is nonsensical and false. Where have fire escapes been put on buildings that are not at least quasi-public? Many of the fire escapes were already ordered by direction of the factory inspectors. It's all claptrap for any single councilman or alderman; to claim the credit. When you analyze such statements you find they are puff and go off like the fog. The factory inspector had' ordered the fire escapes and some of our friends woke up to the fact and thought they could steal some of the inspec- tor's thunder by claiming the credit. “You have probably read that one candidate deplores the spending of $50,000 for parks that are not worth more than $5,000, We have no dis- pute with him there. Anyone knows it would be the height of folly to spend $50,000 for land that is valued If any city “who ig seeking "high office ‘had any objections to parks he should have voiced them first in the common councfl and second in the city’s meet- ing. Ong Man Not Whole Government. “This is a government: of checks and balances. and no one man can create a modern Utopia." I haven't heard it said that one cent of the city’s money had been misused. Have you heard anyone make the statement that a single cent was grafted? I think not. What we want for mayor is a man who is honest and sincere. We've got him and I say let’'s keep him.” After being given a liberal reception 1in the fifth, the party continued on its journey to the sixth ward where a rally was held at 127 Hartford ave- nue. There the candidates were given a hearty reception. Among the speak- ers were Alderman M. T. Kerwin and Councilman Frank Conlin, who are seeking re-election.” Both were given a cordial reception. The eech delivered at all points by Mafor Halloran was considered one of the best he had ever made in a campaign. He spoke as follows: ““As a cgndidate unanimously nomi- nated for the office of mayor, I come before you to solicit your support of my candidacy for that office. “This much I owe to my party for the expression of confidente and ap- rroval given my tenure in office. In acoepting theé nomination I said that I.would use all honorable means at my command to be elected. I consider my appearance before you tonight an honorable effort in that direction. “I introduced this custom of solicit- ing support in the presidential cam- raign of 1908 and your reaponse to my appeals was all that I could de- sire at that time. “On next Tuesday you are to decide it the present constructive efforts in the administration of the government of this community is to continue or it you desire a change that. will lead in some direction of which you have no definite information. You do have however, definite ideas of those in whose hands the government has been vlaced for the past four years, Self Respect Is Dear, “Tt is my intention to conduct my csmpaign in such a way, that I will not feel ashamed after the contest is ended. My self respect is dearer to me than election to any office. Careless statements, false accusa- ticns, mean insinuatipns are not in my line and T do not intend to uge any such methods. Nor do 1 de- sire to claim exclusive credit for the remarkable record made and splendid er:dorsement given the government of the city of New Britain, “I want only to share the credit with my associates in the city govern- | ment, both democrats and . republi- cans who cast aside partisanship and selfishness in order that New Britain may continue to be recognized as the best governed city in our state, City Ranks High. “New Britain is given a high place among the cities of our state. The per:capita taxes are low and per capita expenses are low. It must be admitted, therefore, when we consider what has been accomplished with our lcw tax rate that the city’s business is run on an economical basis. “The most bitter opposition can find little subject to fair criticism, but much to commend. “We have one of the mbost beautiful centers in New England, miles of per- manent pavement all built during the last four years. Recreation work was inaugurated during the past four years, Improvements were made in the fire department in the way of providing motor driven apparatus. The ‘health conditions in our city are ex- ceptionally good. The mortality record is Jow compared with other cities of our size. Our school system has been extended and every oppor- tunity is offered for boys and girls to equip themselves for the battle of life. . . Many Roads Bettered. “We have built on an average two miles of macadam road every year and about the same number of miles of sewers are built and as a result our city is pretty well sewered and this fact accounts for the very healthy conditons that prevail in our city. Best Lighting Contract. “Through wise -judgment on the ipart of the board of public works, Dr. T.ouis Bell of Boston was engaged to draw up a new lighting contract for our city. As a result we have one of the best lighting contracts of any city in our state. The imporvement of the lighting system is now going on as rapidly as the company can get out the work, Uuder this contract, the city gets the advantage of every improved lamp that comes into the market at reduced cost. Within the next few weeks, the city will get a reduction of $2.00 on every 200 candle power light also 40 cents reduction on each 60 candle power lamp, of which we have 560. There is an important clause in this contract in regard to an increase in the number of any one class of lights. It provides that for every.ten per cent increase in number of lamps of any one class we are entitled to two per cent, reduction in the cost ef each light in that class, fof example: we heve 64 arc lamps in this contract and for every ten per cent. increase in the number of arc lamps, which in this case is seven, we will get a reduction of two per cent. The arc lamps cost at present $85.00 and under the old contract we had 185 so that by start-" ing with the smaller number we give ourselves a. chance to be favored with this reduction rather than by starting with 185 lamps. “It is clearly evident therefore, that if there is to be a reduction in the cost of lighting, the credit should go to the wise judgment of the board of public works in securing the services ot Dr. Bell, one of the greatest light- irg experts in this country and no man should attempt to make political capital out of their work in this Te- spect. It is an example of the economical and efficient way in which the affairs in the various departments cf the city government are managed. Mayor's Pledge, ““As a candidate seeking your sup- port, I pledge myself to a continuance cf the same businesslike management of the affairs of this community. I ask you in closing and as good citizens to weigh the evidence 11 a spirit of fairness and, justice and if you will do this T will have no fear of the result.” Native Eggs, 27c doz.

VICTOR FABRE HONORED, Paris, April 10.—Victor Fabre, the chief public prosecutor, who resigned office in consequence of his connec- tion with the postponement of the trial of Henri Rochette, the man who is alleged to have carried out extensive swindles in France, was to- day appointed vice-president of the court of appeals at 'Aix-Les-Bains.

HARMONY IS THE DESIRED GOAL Those Running for Office Recommend That Party Stand Together Their Opponents —Cheers Given for All and Caucus Agree Successful and defeated candidates for nominations to city offices clasped hands and ate at the same board last night, when the Second Ward Repub- lican club gave its - ‘“get-together” dinner in Bardeck’s hall, Arch street. It was one of the best indi- cations that, although there had been fights among them to secure certain nominations, the hatchet was buried and the defeated were~ will- ing to assist the more fortunate in upholding the honor and for work- ing for the republican party in this city. There were cheers for all. It would be hard to say who excited the greatest enthusiasm—George A. Quigley, mayoralty candidate; E. W. Schultz, the unsuccessful candidate for that office; Colonel A. L. Thomp- son, city clerk or a half a dozen others equally well known. All wére cheered, and all were visibly affectcd. The festivities were conducted un- der the direction of Joseph Towers, president of the club, who, in intro- ducing the csahdidate for mayor, dwelt on the fact that rash promises and statements, made in the heat of battle, might not be kept. Mr. Towers said that under such condi- tions the citizens should be patient with their representatives. Regrets Harsh Statements. Mr. Quigley was the first speaker. He said: “During the campaign many things were said in the heat of the' fight- ing. This is to be regretted. Let's do away with throat-cutting tactics of the old times and, regardless of the candidate selected, stand with a solid front to the enemy, then we will win."” 3 After telling the members that this peace gathering was arranged sev- eral weeks before the caucus of last Tuesday, he continued: “I want to reaffirm what I have said in previous speeches, that no competent city official has anything to fear through my election. “If T am elected mayor of New Pritain, I will do my duty . without fear or favor. _.'T have too high a regard for the office of mayor and my duty to the people of New Britain to disregard ability and knowledge in city affairs, A Business Administration. “I have determined, if elected, to conduct the office’ of mayor on busi- ness lines regardless of political in- fluence. “It has been sald that I would not listen to advice -or consult with any one on city affairs. ' ““This on the face of it is ridiculous. I do not know it all and have never pretended to, and a man who will not listen to good advice or wise coun- sel is not the man I personally would vote for, for mayor of the city of New Britain. “I have had a wide business experi. erce, having entered business at the @age of eighteen and have never seen the time when I was not willing to seek and listen to good advice. “It has been said the mayorship of the city is too sacréd to be made a political football of and I agree that this is true, and it is also true that the office is too sacred to be made a pawn of in the game of political bar- ter and exchange. . “BEvery citizen of New Britain has a right to aspire to the. office and should one or more men aspire to the office, that will not shame the office or render it less sacred in the eyes of the people. Do Not Split Ticket. “I have entered the lists for the office, I have won my right to enter the final race and I ask the support of every loyal republican in the city of New Britain and any other citizen of New Britain who believes. in a good, sound, economical business ad- ministration. “I have always supported the re- publican ticket and in the crisis of 1612 no republican was more loyal to his party than I. “I do not ask your sypport as a favor, I ask it as my right as your candidate for mayor, nominated by the largest Tepublican caucus ever held in the oity of New Britain. “If we are to have a party then the nominees of your caucus must be supported on election day. “There will be no split in the party, contrary to democratic hopes. The re- publican party will present a solid front on Tuesday next and elect all the candidates by one thousand majority.” President E. C. Goodwin of the Con- solidated Republican clubs, said he was disappointed, personally, because one of the candidates for the nomina- tion for mayor had nat received the endorsement of the voters, “but that is of little consequence,” he continued; “so long as the republican nominees are all elected, And the outcome is assured if all who pretend to be citi- zens do the work that they should do. How State Is Affected, “Probably the most important fea- ture of the campaign is the effect that this clection in New Britain will have at the state convention. With the elec- tion of the enmtire ticket here, we can go to the state convention and de- mand the state treasurership.

I did the best I knew how, I wam defeated honestly and fairly, as that was the way Mr. Quigley fought. And I lost in a fair caucus, like a man and a good sport. “I will do my best to co-operate with Mr. Quigley and the other re- publican nominees to elect the repub- lican ticket on April 14, from the top to the bottom. Finally, I forgive those opponents who have used harsh and incorrect statements during the past campaign.” Emil Danberg, candidate for coun- cilman, dwelt on the significance of the quotation “In’ union there is strength.” If this is borne in mind by the voters, and if the republican party sticks together, said Mr. Dan- there will be no doubt that the 111 ticket will be elected. “Burt” Loomis, candidate for tax collector, said he appreciated the re- sponsibilities of that offic.. . “But, if elected,” he declared, “the trust the people of New Britain place in me as the collector of $600,000 an- nually will not be misplaced.” Colonel Thompson Reviews Past. Colonel Thompson received more cheers when he started to speak. He thanked the members and those who had supported him for re-election to. the office of city clerk. His speech consisted mostly of reminiscences dur- ing ten years in that position. He said he cast his first vote in 1874 and scon after that identified himself with the republican party. ‘“But regard- less of which party is in power, I will always do my best to help the city,” he concluded. Others who spoke were H. L. Curtis, comptroller; Ernest Teich, M. I. Jester and Judge George Klett. Others at the speakers’ table were Committeemen George Bull,’ of the first ward: Raymond Healy, of the third ward; John Kingsley, of the sixth ward; Richard Covert, secretary of the Second Ward Republican club; John J.

There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arven from any drug store (this is all you will need) apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com- pletely dissolve, antl entirely destroy, every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. . You will find all itehing and dig- ging of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair ‘will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better, If you value your hair,’you should get rid of dandruff at once, for noth- ing destroys the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes it stringy, traggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and everybody notices it. ABANDON SPRING RACE Virginia Authorities Arrest Vielators of Aut-Bctting Laws. Norfolk, Va., April 10.—Decision of the officials of the Jamestown Jockey club to abandon the spring race mect- ing in order to avold “any conflict of opiniop™ with the Virginia author- ities over alleged violations of the state anti-betting laws caused keen disappointment today among lovers of horse racing. The meeting began April 1 and was to have continued until April 17. Its progress, however, was marked by spectacular raids by detectives under orders of Governor Stuart and the ar« rest of thirteen bookmakers for ale leged violation of the anti-betting law and the imposition of prison terms and. fines upon them. The situation ‘was brought to a climax when the governor warned the club officials that state militia would be used, if mecessary, to suppress violations of the law. It was then decided to dis- continue the meeting. In a formal statement the club of- ficlals announced that until the hi er courts have passed upon the s ute no further meetings would be held. They express the belief that after numerous tests in the Virginia courts racing as conducted at James- town was legal in al] its phases. Re- cent conditions, however, it is de- clared, have brought some dquestion as to the correct interpretation of the law, The thirteen defendants in the track raid convicted by Justice of the Feace Bragg and given six months in Jail and a finé of $100 each, will be tried on appeal before a jury in May. * Native Eggs, 27¢ doz.
