With Democratic Banners-A Cam.
paign Speaker Fails to Keep His
Appointment-Real Estate Improve.
nkents-Surprise Party.
Saturday was cold day for the Walling-
ford democracy. The heavy wind which
started to blow early in the morning play
ed sad havoc with the campaign banners
on Center street. The one in front of the
town hall was torn to pieces before It could
be taken down, and on Saturday evening
"Adlai" was futtering to the breeze from
one OF the neighboring trees in a manner
that was sad to behold. On the plains in
front of the democratic club rooms the
banner was getting badly worsted when 1t
was finally hauled in. Cleveland and Ste
venson were partially torn from the net
ting and turned around ,endeavoring to get
look at each other. The republican ban
ner on Main street was taken In before 1t
was seriously damaged. And to make
matters worse, democratic rally had been
advertised to occur in town hall Saturday
evening, with N. V. Cannon of Omaha as
speaker, who has once before been adver-
hsed to speak here and failed to material
ize. Early in the evening the democrats
from the plains began to gather uptown
and were awaiting the signal from Rod
Austin's brass cannon, but the gun was
silent in it's accustomed resting place in
Rods Office, for 1t was not wanted, a.
Chairman B. A. Treat received telegram
