Homer S. Cummings, democratic candidate for United States who is to address a big democratic rally at the Lyceum theater in New Britain tomorrow evening in behalf of senator, his own candidacy and the entire dem- ocratic ticket, will make a campaign speech in Kensington tomorrow after- at 4:30 o'clock, preceeding his talk in New Britain. Mr. Cummings will speak in the open air from an automobile and the local democratic town committee is making prepara- neon tions for a large rally in near the post office. the street Mr. Cummings’ record is well known to both republicans and democrats in Berlin and Kensington. He lawyer of more than local repute and is regarded as the leader of the dem- ocrats in the Nutmeg state. When the democratic national convention was held in St. Louis several months Mr: Cummings was one of its leading figures and was prominently men- tioned as a probable selection for na- tional committee chairman. It was said that he could have had the office had he desired it, but he made no ef- fort to obtain it and it was given to Vance C. McCormick. An effort was made by the democratic leaders to have Mr. mings addr n open air rally tomorrow_evening, when more of the working public would be able to set out and hear him, but he wa obliged to decline the invitation. Mr. Cum- mings explained that the strain of public speaking is a great one, both of.~g man’s nerves and vocal chords and consequently he makes it a point never to speak publicly in the cold night air for fear of catching cold injuring his voice.

Although he admitted that he was cullty of the assault charge pressed agalnst him, Edward (“Spot’) Cam- bridge, a well known negro character, succeeded In getting his fine remitted of the officer’s fees. The action of the court was favorable to the accused be- cause of his truthfulness ,the state having a weak case against him had he elected to dispute the charge. Cambridge’s victim, James “Saw- ver” Conlon, white of complexion, did Lot fare so well. He was fined $7 | and costs, the penalty being the re- sult of his attempts to deceive the court regarding the ldentity of his assallant. The appearance of the men in court was a sequel to a row in which they | became involved in Gleason’s lunch | room Saturday night. Conlon had been arrested after the fracas, the police at the time being unable to lo- cate his negro opgonent. Conlon was given a hearing yesterday morning. Ile told of being struck down by a negro and declared that he could identify his assailant. To give him an opportunity to back vp his statements, Justice Condell continued the hearing until night. Cambridge voluntarily reported at the Town hall during the evening and responded “guilty” when put to plea. Despite the negroe’s willingness to confess his white victim appeared to be anxious to protect him and he told the eourt that he could not identify | him as the man who had assailed him. got ‘ittle sympathy from Justice | Condell and his “forgetfulness” proved somewhat expensive.
