There were miembers of the city official fam- ily present and in all there were about 200 voters who sat down to test the meal that J. Willie Mills had been autiiorized to furnish. Toastmaster Arthur N. Rutherford started off the speech making by tell- ing of his experiences in City hall and «id that he was exceedingly glad to see the young men of the ward taking an active interest in politics. His ad- \ics to the young mien was to study conditions, and then go for a position. Councilman John Gill. candidate for alderman, was called upon first for a song. not ler him rest until he had respond- ed to several encores. Arthur Crusberg, a candidate for the council, was called on next to give an idea of his working platform for the coming campaign. Mr, Crus- berg «aid that he could make no promises and if he went to the coun- cil, he would go as a free agent and work for the Lest interests of the city and the ward.

Councilman John Gill when called upon got up, and gave a laudatory oration in favcr of Mayor Quigley. Mr. Gill said that he him- self is practically a new man in city politics but the game fascinates him and he is sure that he can fill the berth of alderman and do credit to the ward and city. Mayor Gives Talk. Mayor Quiglev, the speaker of the evening, was called upon last night to give his views on the present situa- tion. 1in starting off, the mavyor said that his voice was a bit ragged, and it reminded him of the story of Wil- liam Jennings Bryan. Brysn, when asked why his voice was never rag- zed, replied that he never said ragged things. The mayor's-excuse for a ragged voice was that he was forced to say ragged things to ragged op- ' ponents and critics. ! the mayor said ! has less than half the { they did in 1914. This i true, how can the city be run on .the { mavor was { ton trin dispute. In speaking of a fcurth term, Mayor Quigley said that no mayor of New Britain had been elocted four consecutive times, and . Iy two or three times in succession, «nd that he would not have tried it if it were not ' for the fact that some of his critics had put the administration under fire. | The main criticism. according to the mavor, was that the administration had wasted mon In answer to this A doNlar today has the purchasing power of about Afty | cents compared with the purchasing i power of the dollar of 1914.

Think it over and ask the critics of the Quigley admin- istration -how theyv can make fifty cents do the work of a dollar.” In a general attack on charges of wasting money, the mayor said that the city today was $80.000 less in debt than it was in 1914, and over a mil- lion dollars had been aGded in assets, such as new schools, motorized fire department, municipal slaughter house, miles of pavements and addi- tions to the subway system.
