To Democrats.

Let no Democrat be deceived by
the tactics of the Republican gang
in this county. They have no
hope of electing their candidates
pitted against Hawkins, Barn
house or Marshall, and the assaults
made on these men, as we'll as
Judge Buford, are for the purpose
of distracting attention from the
Offices of Treasurer and Represent
tative. These are the objective
points, mainly, though of course
they sigh for possession of all the
offices.
Offers of trading no doubt will
be made, but l hope there is no
Democrat supplemented enough
to swallow the bait.
When a Republican solicits your
vote ask him if he endorses Roose-
welt and will vote for him in case
he is nominated? In other words
does he Understanding ques-
tons of standard principle-the
Presidents dining a negro at the
White House, his villification of
Gen. Miles, his rewarding the man
who had a white lady dragged by
a negro underling with indecent
force from that same White House?
Ask him if he endorses the Globe
Democrat in it's sneer upon you
and your party, charging you with
ignorance, lawlessness and moss
backism?
Ask him If he, with some other
leaders of his party, believe that
the people of Iron county were not
good enough to try the Spaughs
for the murder of Sheriff Polk: if
he endorses that aid and comfort
given the murderers by some
''good" Republicans always loyal
to "the party" and the sympathy
extended them by the sheet which
characterizes Democratic officials
and candidates as thieves and
scoundrels?
Every vote given for a Repub-
lican lands you that much closer
to the conditions prevailing in the
Northern States where negro and
white children ars herded together
in the common schools. Think Of
these things, fellow Democrats,
when you go to the polls next
Tuesday-and then vote as your
feelings dictate. Don't think that
because it is merely a county office
it doesn't matter. Without coun-
ty organization there can be no
State or National organization,
and defeat in the county impairs
the strength of your party clear
through. Stand by it, as it has
always stood between you and the
conditions you most detest. The
ticket it presents you is clean and
wholesome. Vote it straight and
you'll be true to your convictions.
And, above and beyond all, you
will please Benny, for he says he
loves democrats from principle"
Indeed he does-like the devil does
holy water!

DURING the past year, for trans
cribing an index to the land record,
Madison county paid its recorder
over $500; st. Francois county
allowed it's recorder $500 for SINH
lar service. The county court Of
Madison is Democratic; that, OF
st. Francois is Republican. They
ought to have Benny over there to
instil righteousness, truth and de-
cency into their officials.

CELL" said Col. Greason to me
one day long past, "when you
hear a man Boosting of his in
tegrity, look out for him! There's
old -; you can't talk with him
five minutes without his telling
you how honest he is. And yet
you and | both know he will steal
anything from a ten-penny nail to
a side of bacon!" 1t is a pretty
safe rule, though it may have its
exceptions.

"IRoN county," says Benny,
''has the reputation at home and
abroad of having the most I'M
scrupulous courthouse ring of any
county in the State" A lie, pure
and simple, and such a one as no
man possessed of regard for a fair
reputation would utter. This is the
only fitting comment upon it.

"SUCCESSFUL liars must have
long memories" Such the in
sistence of a sage who proited by
observation and experience. In
an imaginative "Reminiscences Ben
ny says: 81 believe there is not a
man living in Iron county to-day
that did more to make this county
Democratic than I did at that time.
Then, as now, there were 'bosses
and a ring a Republican ring
If you choose. y AT the
time l was aiding to GUST the ring
Bro. AXE, then, as now, was with
the ring" The county was "made
Democratic" by the election of the
Peoples Ticket in 1870. The first
break in that direction was made
in 1858 by the election of James
Buford for Sheriff and Collector
the only Democrat chosen. He
was elected by So majority, but
was kept out of his Office for over
six months after he should have
taken it according to law. In 1894
w. T. Gay was elected Represent
alive by a majority of four votes,
but no move was made toward de-
priving him Of the position to
which he was chosen. This, by
the way, fully illustrates the differ
ence between a Republican "ring"
and a Democratic "ring." No
wonder the honest people of Iron
county prefer the latter! But BEN
ny says "Bro. AXE was with the
Republican ring at the time'' he,
Benny, did SO much to "make the
county Democratic" l voted the
straight Democratic ticket in 1868,
and Jim Buford had no more ar
dent supporter than myself. In all
the elections since then I have
voted the same political ticket.
What part Benny played in help
ing down the Republican "ring,"
as he terms it, | do not know; but
it is current rumor that when he
changed his former to his present
political coat, he did it, not to
down a 'sring," but to save his job.
Be that as it may, I know that he
has been a penny-dog for corpor-
atoms ever since-or, until within
a very few years. AS to his oppos-
ing and my supporting the Repub-
lican 'ring'' Eat that time"-how
conveniently indefinite he isI-his
falsehood is indeed a clumsy one.
Which leads me to repeat: "Suc-
cessful liars must have long MEM
cries."

ACCORDING to Benny, the 700
Democrats who nominated their
ticket are ''ringsters." But what,
then, shall we call the dozen Re-
publicans of the "push'' who set
up their ticket?

If a $3.50 plant in Benny's eyes
is "a most thoroughly equipped"
printing office, perhaps that 1916
does look big to him.

served the party best in that great sen atorial struggle. This brief review of the Bridgeport Senator's work may not be amiss at the present time. He has come up from the people and belongs to the people. Back in 182 when he was student in General Russell's military school in New Haven, he worked his way by sweeping out the recitation rooms, laboring out of study hours. He was honored and respected by the cadets and was then as now the .possessor of great personal popularity. He studied through the Yale law school and laid the foundation for the legal battles which he has since fought He has won eminent success in his pro- .fession. These facts in his career are deserving of notice He is not the man that his political detractors make him out to be.

OBITUARY VOTES
Death of Street Inspector Hugh I.
 FInnigan.

Many friends will regret to learn of the death of Hugh I. Finnigan. for twenty years street inspector of New Haven. MT. Finnigan died at his sum- mer home on Thomas street, West Ha- ven, Sunday evening of cancer of the stomach. Up to a very few days ago he was, although suffering from dis ease, attending as far as his strength permitted, to his daily duties as street inspector. He was energetic, thorough going and conscientious in the dis charge of his duties in whatever field they lay, and was upright honorable and valuable citizen.
 The deceased was born in New Ha- ven in 1839 being siXty-seven years old at the time of his death. He got his education in the public schools, and served in the Fifteenth, Connecticut volunteers during the war of the re- bellion. He served for three years or more, and in most creditable man. ner, and was promoted to be a lieuten- ant on account of his bravery and strict attention to duty.
 MT. Finnigan returned to this city after the war, and he was not only one of the founders of the Sarstield guard, but he was the first lieutenant that the company ever had.
 MT. Finnigan was appointed to the street department by Superintendent of Streets Patrick Doyle over twenty years ago, and he was such competent man that changes in the political form of the local administration failed to affect him in any way.
 For some time Mir. Finngan has been troubled with his stomach, and about a week ago he stopped work. Late in the weke he became i'll, and his death fol- lowed.
 The deceased Is survived by a wife and five children. He was an earnest and faithful attendant of St, Mary's Roman Catholic church. He was a member of the Holy Name society oi that church, and was also a member ot number of other benevolent and fra. ternal societies in this city,
 MT. Finnigan's funeral will be helt from his late residence, 575 State street in this city, on Wednesday morning al 5:90 o'clock. The interment will be if St. Bernard cemetery.
 The body was brought to MT. Finni gan's late home in this city yesterday afternoon by Undertaken Walker wht has charge of the arrangements.

BRoKE INTO PROFESSOR DUBOIS
Burglars Making a Speciality of Yale
 Professors Houses.

Besides the burRlaries at Professor William Walkers at 281 Edwards street and Professor Austin Gooch's at 291 Edwards street, which were reported yesterday, Professor Augustus J. Du- Bois house at S34 Edwards street was discovered to have been entered. Like the other two places, the police are un- able to tell what the loss is, as the oc- cupants are away.
 There is no doubt that the burglars are the same men who broke into Pro- lessor Cross and into David Daggett's s houses. In each case it has been shown that the burglars were looking for money and jewelry, and even left sil- Yerware.
 The police are giving special attention to this locality
