Democratic Town Committee Believes Attempt at Politi- cal Colonizing is Being Made In College
 Circle.
PROSECUTION THREATENED
Careful Investigation to Show Applicants Cannot Comply With Law--Periury
 Charges May Be
 Brought.

What is regarded by the democratic town committee as an attempt on the part of certain men at Yale at political colonizlng of the students who are att tending the university from all sec- tons of the country and even from foreign lands to. the prejudice of thu democratic party and against tho pro- visions of the laws governing the righsS of voting in a state has just been ur 4 esrthed by that body and promises / Z create the sensation of the preF E week at least in the political campailN. here.
 Chairman John Doughau with Depu- ty Registrar Albert Widman of the First ward has made careful exam nation of tho list of applicants in the First ward. who desire to get their names on the list for the coming elec- tion as voters in that ward of New Haven In that list they have discover ed the names of S3 students, all from homes outside the city, who claim tho l right to vote here and ask to be put on the list. This, they claim, is by far the largest number of students from out of town who have ever applied in the 1 First ward and this is from the col- lege campus and vicinity alone and does not include the entire college population inasmuch as there Is large part of tho student enrolment which lives outside of the First ward
 Chairman Doughan and his associates | have started d minute investigation in- to the matter and are convinced that some of tho students whose names they have on their lists have no right to vote here as they cannot comply with the provisions of the law This law, they state requires that man be resident of the state one year. of the city for six months, and must show that they intend to make their homes here when they leave college or that they are self-supportlng
 In going over the list Chairman Doughan points out that in the cases of the men in question 1t is ridiculous to claim that these conditions are full filled Ho claims first of all that the law for q years consecutive residence is not qualified, for in the case of most of the students who for three months of the year arc not here at all and that in the case of many at least tho provision regarding intention to remain here after graduation Is obviously im- probable and that the same holds true on the point of being self-supporting. Prominent In the list of those who have applied to be registered is Max Parry. of Indianapolis son of the for~ mer president of the American Manu~ lecturers association and prominent manufacturer In that city. That his son is either working his way through college or intends to make his home

The chief object of the meeting was to permit the board to resolve itself into a committee of the whole fin order to allow the public to be heard on the estimates according to law. But the public seemed to have little interest in the estimates either for or against and there were but eight citizens out side of the members of the board and the press in the room when the meet ing was called Co order. of these An thony Carroll was the only man who spoke at all on the matters in the es- timates and as soon as he ha, con cluded the board went into executive session.

 Just at the conclusion of tne session | President Allen called Alderman Null vey to the chair for a special purpose which proved to be the presentation of handsome Morris chalr to Al. derman Charles stanton from the Fifteenth ward as gift of the board In token of good fellowship. the occa. sion being his recent marriage.

BIASED BY CONTRIBUTIONS
Iudecd, the Wrong Done by Trusts Is Simply Matter for Amusement to Hughes, Says Mir.
 Bryan

Lincoln. Neh.. Oct ic.----tn an ad- dress at the State university to-day, William j.. Bryan attacked the argu- ments of Governor Hughes ot New York in defense of the republican platform, dwelling on the difference between the two platforms relating to publicity of campaign contributions, and the propriety of President Roose- velt's supporting Mir. Taft,
 MT Bryan said;
 "Governor Hughes of New York has been put forward as the champion of of tho republican party to attack the democratic remedy for trusts. and ,he president seems to prefer the argu ment advanced by Mir Hughes rath ar than tho argument advanced by Mr. Taft | can fairly assume. therefore, that the argument presented by Mr Hughes is not only the strongest ar eumcnt that has been presented, but the strongest argument that can be presented because Mir, Roosevelt form if he were not the strongest op- ponont le has been sent through the west to strengthen the republican lines, l desire to remind you, in the first place. that Mir. Hughes represent, the eastern republicans. not the west. ern republicans
 As an evidence that Mir Hughes is not in sympathy witr Western re- fors, you will recall that he vetoed a two cent passenger rate bill and hC did this in spite of Inc fact that a republican legislature of New York passed the bill The governors In tho western states signed this bill and W, are now enjoying the benefits of tht two cent fare New York is moro thlckly settled than the western stdte' l and vet he gave the benefit of tho doubt to the railroads in their cotr test with the patrons I will not sal | that he did this because of the con tributons made to his campaign fun by Morgan, pcpew. the Yanderbilts and one of the Goulds. It fig not nee essary to assume that these contrIbu l tions had any effect upon the action | II is enough to know that he did no act upon this subject as republican governors in the west acted, and
 
 may make. If they say that he lc cided In favor If the railroads. wthou any reference to the contribution made by the railroads, t simpl' shows that he looks at questions iron one standpoint of the railroad ratho than the standpoint of the patrons | he had signed the bill the railroad | could have protected themselves !,
