Three or four speakers will pre- sent both sides of the issues in the present political campaign Bunday afternoon at the bi-partisan rally which will be held in the Strand theater. Judge Joseph M. Donovan of Bristol, judge of the city and po- lice courts in the neighboring ity will speak for the republican party, it was announced today. The demo- cratic party will be represented by at least two speakers, P, B. O'Sul- livan of Orange, former congress- man; and John F. Pickett of Mid- dletown, democratic candidate for state comptroller. It is also theught that George LeWitt of New Britain, democratic nominee for secretary of state and lessee of the Strand thea- ter, will make a brief address.

It had been reported that, when the loss was discovered, the girls in the gym class during which the theft oc- curred had been forced to divest themselves of some of their cloth- ing and submit to search. Superin- tendent Leon C. Staples today said that these rumors were grossly ex- aggerated, as the girls had merely been asked to take off their shoes and had been extremely willing to do this or anything else which might have helped in finding the missing article. Miss Dean had left her watch and some other jewelry in the dressing room while she went into the gym for her class work. When she re- turned all the articles had been taken. The other jewelry was later found in another girl's purse, which had been hidden under a plle of coats, but this girl was at no time believed to be gulity and the school authorities recognized: the trisk as & despicable “plant’ 'in an attempt to throw suspicion on someone other than the real thief, Party for Miss Stanley A surprise party for Miss Betty Stanley Was tendered her last eve- ning at the home of Miss Zella Dyer, 70 West Main street by 15 of the present and former employes of the Southern New England Telephone Co.
