DEMOCRATS ARE OUT DESPITE THE STORM Kilhourne Says Chamberlain Is Pussylooting on Issues The inclemént weather of last even- ing failed to put a damper the spirits of local democrats who were out in goodly sized numbers to attend the smoker and rally of the Second and Fourth Ward Democratic clubs and the Wilson and Marshall club. The affair was held in hall. After cigars had been passed around, W. F. opened the meeting, expressing his ap- preciation for the attendance under the circumstances and referring to the “jitney’ 'methods of the republicans in getting voters to attend their rallies, John H. Ross was then introduced as chairman of the rally. Mr. Ross said that the democrats are very proud of the candidates chosen on the tickets, nationally, statewise and locallyy. The administration and its excellent results under democratic rule, speaks for itself, and the voters will no doubt bear these facts in mind on election day, he thought. State Indebtedness Increased. Edward O. Kilbourne, candidate for representative, was the next speaker, The speaker said that the present cam- paign was one of issues rather than personalities. He was well acquainted with all candidates and knew they were both capable and good fellows. Touching on remarks made at a rally in the sixth ward recently by F. Chamberlain, who hailed the republi- can state administration as an eco- nomical cne, Mr. Kilbourne asked his auditors who could expect economy under the boss rule of Roraback, Clark, King & company. Statements of this kind, the speaker said, would make the angels weep. Extracts from the report of State Treasurer Cham- berlain were read, showing an in- creased indebtedness of about $1,000,- 000, which showed that the republican rule in Connecticut had been an ex- pensive one. The speaker culogized Mr. Chamberlain as a good fellow, an honest and efficient official, and onc who would get a number of demo- cratic votes from his townsmen, but in the report on expenses, that is stats expenses, it is shown that these fiz- ures have grown steadily for the past ten or twelve years, and under lican rule. Mr. Kilbourne that Treasurer Chamberlain v “pussyfooting” in the issues in tk campaign. In concluding his remarks the speaker sought the aid of the united party in putting down boss rule in Connecticut, and to install in its stead a government for the peopie and by the people. Kraus’ First Offense. Oscar F. Kraus, co-partner of the sage of Stanley Quarter for represen- tative honors, was warmly recelved as he arose to deliver his maiden politi- cal speech of the campaign. He said on Commercial Chairman Mangan on a ticket that contained the nanies of suoh sterling democrats as Wood- row Wilson, Homer S. Cummings, George M. Landers and E. O. Kil- bourne. The speaker said he was in deep accord with the platforms of the state and national ticket, and could see no reason why should not add their assistance in electing a democrat ticket this fall. Mr. Kraus said his efforts this fall would be honestly applied to securing a place in the coming legislature, and if successful, the voters of this city LEONARD & HERRMANN CO.

Hewes, managing direc- tor of the Connecticut Children’s Aid society, which maintains the home at Newington, was deposed at the annual meeting of the society at Iartford yesterday afternoon. The meeting was in the Center church house and owing to the fact that trouble was ex- pected the newspaper reporters were kept without. The meeting proved to be quite as stormy as was feared and many ballots that Mr. Hewes was defeated. The position pays a salary of $2,000. Although Mr. Hewes was ousted from the position of managing director he was re-elected vice president, a purely hon- orary position. The trouble began a week ago at the annual meeting of the directors, which voted to abolish the office of managing director by a vote of 17 to 7. At that meeting A. J. Birdseye of Farming- ton put up a fight in favor of Mr, Hewes and a long and sharp debate followed. The fight was resumed the annval meeting of the society ye! terday and after several votes and the bringing in of proxies, which were subsequently stricken out, the final yote stood 29 to 28 against the man- pging director. It is understood that two new members, Austin Cheney of South Manchester and Mrs. John Hal- sey Buck of Hartford were prime mov ok on Mr. Hewes, takir t the scope of the wor and 2 should the ground ths shoula extended with n salary cured.
