Kilbourne, democratic candi- date for representative, has brought an issue to light ,which has been side- tracked in Connecticut ever since the famous constitutional convention of 1902, but nevertheless grows more important with each passing year. It it is the system of representation in the house of representatives which was adopted over a 100 years ago when there were no large cities and prevails today when the cities like New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Hartford and New Britain have but the same representations as towns like Union, ‘Ashford and Colebrook. The issue was fought out in 1902 and the towns won on the same basis that they have ruled for a century, name- ly having the power to legislate they refused to give it up or concede any- thing to the cities which in popula- tion outnumber them by tens of thousands. At a recent meeting of the French Naturalization club Mr. Kilbourne went into details on this vital sub- ject and showed by the following figures the utter injustice of the pres- em and the urgent need of reform in this direction. Below is a compairson of the small towns and the cities from the point of population and representation, which indicates clearly the fallacy of the existing sys- tem: No. Rep.

New Britfln o ‘Waterbury Meriden 32,066 The cities of New Britain and Wa- terbury together had in 1910 a popu- lation of 117,057, and each lcity sends only two representanuves. The counties of Litchfield and Middlesex have a combined population of 115,- 897 and send 64 representatives. A most glaring inequality in numbers. On a fair basis of representation New Britain and Waterbury would be en- titled to 60 more representatives. Comparing any of the:other cities with the counties, a similar disparity in numbers will appear. Forty-one towns having a popula- tion less than one hundred thousand each send 50 representatives. 19 19 12 19 19 19 1 19 1 Lo 0 ro oot Events Tonight High class photo drama, Fox's the- ster.

Through Klett & Alling, Berson PBrothers today brought suit against Nichola Bellini for $2,000, claiming payment and damages on a note for $1,600 taken out a year ago. The writ was serveq by Constable Fred Winkle and is returnable before the superfor court on the first Tuesday of December.

Captain Boelke, the famous Ger- man aviator and one of Germany’s 1aost popular war heroes, - in the | course of an air flight came into col- lision with another aeroplane and w killed, according to a Berlin d patch received in London by way of Amsterdam. His machine landed | within the German lines. The day before Captain Boelke had shot down Lis fortieth aeroplane. A Paris newspaper on Oct. 18, re- rorted that Boelke had been severely wounded by a shell from a French anti-aircraft gun. Since then, how- ever, his name has been mentioned in the German official statements Captain Boellke was the most spec- tacular figure among all the thou- sands of aviators flying at the front in Europe. He seemed to bear a charmed life, and as recently as Sep- tember it was reported that he had eccaped almost certain death five dif- ferent times when his aeroplanes were practically shot from under him. In June it was reported that he had been killed in an air battle with Roger Riblers, a French aviator, over | with i Tinglish the Verdun battlefield. hi report was corrected a few days later by Vic- tor Chapman, the New York aviator who recently lost his life while flying with the Franco-American Flying corps Boelke is shown a German in the pictures \ L aeroplane brought down in Russia. He started in the Imperial Flying corps as an observer later becoming a pilot. His steady eye, sure nerves and courage soon sent him to the fighting detachment cf his service where his dufies were to meet and fight off the French and battleships and reconnois- sance machines. In this he was more ful than any other aviator. He flew alone, managing his ma- chine and its gun by himself. Boelke -vas a native of Dessau, and took up aviation in peace times + sport. When he was called out by the war he entered the flying service. He had filled a very large place in Germany's war imagination, and his ceath has brought universal grief to all parts of the empire.

DEMOCRATS READY FOR FIFTH WARD Will Stage Rally in Skritulsky's Hall Tomorrow One more invasion of the Fifth Ward will be made by the democrats tomorrow evening, when a rally will be staged in Skritulsky’s hall and from the program arranged, plenty of fun together with the usual amount of political chatter will no doubt be served up to the attendants at the af- fair. Vaudeville acts, boxing bouts and refreshments will be dispensed during the evening, and the good-fel- lowship of the democrats, it is hoped, will tend to win back the ward lost several years ago. G. M. Landers, E.-O. Kilbourne, O. W. Kraus and possibly an out-of-town speaker will dispense the doctrine of lemocracy. From what can be the party, the hopes for winning back rd this year were never-bright- Senator Landers alw popular with the voters in the ward has bol- stered up the ticket, and the republi- cans do not regard their chances in that section as over medioc While the republican e smiling about the return to their Zold of the vrogressives, they evidently overlook the fact that not all have done so. ‘I'he city will be favored the followers of “Tempestous Teddy” in 1912, Bainbridge Colby who will unravel some more of the workings at the Chicago convention which select- «dq C. Hughes as its nominee for the presidency at the Lyceum theater Chursduy evening. Mr. Colby is one of the most capable orators in the ountry. Conditions in the west which have been reported to have lined up strongly for President Wilson will be elucidated by ex-Congressman John J. Lentz of Ohio. ‘Eric Oberg, secretary of the American Society of Swedish Egineers and an editorial writer of a prominent technical journal will also address the rally. ENTERTAIN CHIEFS.
