The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-11-01

No wonder number of decent men about town today hanging their heads with shame It longer safe this city for gentleman to aspire for public office without submitting himself to outrageous attack at the hands of desperate who have learned the of how at least portion of the press of this city be had to aid them in their campaigns of nfamy
 Everybody in Bridgeport who keeps abreast of public affairs knows that certain publication issued once week this city has long been the personal organ of Allan w. Paige and those akin to him experience trouble in get ting this paper shout for the pet of Paige and his interests.
 The lobbyists in the last General Assembly recognized this paper friend in need and every public service poration in this state regards extremely friendly and conspicuously useful in time of stress.
 In its latest issue it attacked Edward T. Buckingham accusing him of being the tool of gamblers and backeg It charged that event of Buckingham being elected the trusted with power.
 Unintentionaly it brought out the fact that under Mayor Lee gambling dens running here and then it goes to say that although these forms of vice existing unstubed under Lee that the interested prefer change to Buckingham Marvellous logic this. What colossal brain and massive intellect must have ceived iti
 Detectives, it has found have been scurrying about the city and find that these places existing under Lee Said detectives then report that said place although stng and doing business undsturbed for strange prefer the defeat of the under whom accord ing to the eagle-eyed sleuths they thriving Such dream.
 Then what? Why Buckingham is to become tool of and standing in this community where he has lived lof his life? Is to be judged not by his record of life time is he to be judged upon the sanderous state ments of a venal and subsidized press

VOTE EARLY; TURN DOWN
 SECOND LEVER

There are many important days in American history and in American life but tomorrow is the greatest day of all and every elector should make it a point to observe the day by voting early.
 Make it a point to vote before you go to work in the morning for there might be something happen whereby you could not get to the polls again during the day.
 The most important business that any elector can have tomorrow is to cast his vote for the men who are to be the head of the various offices of the city government.
 It will not take a jiffy to vote on the machines You are in the voting booth and out in less than a minute. Pull down the second lever from the top on the left land side
 It has a letter "B'' indicating by the second letter in the alphabet that 1t is the lever for the second row. The second row is the Democratic row.
 A vote for the straight ticket, is a vote to aid Buckinham in making the city of Bridgeport a city that we all may be proud of.

NEW BISHOP MAY
 BE DIR. CUSACK'

The report that Rev. James P. Dono- van. D. D., of MiddIetown, was most likely to be the new bishop of the dio- cese of Hartford. succeeding the late Bishop Tierney, has given rise to oth- CT rumors regarding the head of the diocese. It is believed in some quar- ters also that the appointment of a bishop is most likely to go to the Rev. Thomas Cusack of New York. at pres ent auxiliary bishop of the New York diocese. Bishop Cusack's name has been little mentioned in connection with this diocese, but there is a strong belief that he is likely to be the man chosen.
 It will be interesting to Catholics to know in this connection that there is talk of the division of the diocese In formation comes from New York that a meeting of authorities was held there recently to discuss the question of the formation of a new diocese to include a part of the New York dio- cese and a part of the diocese of Hart ford, the new diocese to include the territory between the Hudson river and the Naugatuck, and the establish ment of the see at either Poughkeepsie or Danbury. For the honor of being the seat of authority in the diocese it is understood that Danbury is most favorably considered, as being more a central city.

THOMAS NOW
 A KNIGHT Will End Six Years of Faith full Service in Council
 This Evening Something About Democrat ic Candidate for Town Clerk and the Attacks Upon Him.

Among those who were initiated into the Knights of Columbus Sunday evening was William Thomas, Demo cratic candidate for town clerk. MT. Thomas will close his six years faith full service as an alderman at the meeting of the Common Council, this evening. As a member of the Board he has done an enormous amount of faithful and valuable work which has He has also originated and promoted many of the reforms which have fixed the attention of the voters. He did vestigation of the breaking of the Beardsley Park Dam. His report upon that matter was a fearless indictment of the conditions that led up to the catastrophe by which so many people were injured in person or in property. cate of tax reform and is at present chairman of the investigating com mittee which is inquiring into the whole subject of municipal taxation.
 The only argument that has been urged against the election of MT. Thomas by his opponents is that he has cnly one leg. MT. Thomas lost struck by a train. Despite this eIlor- Tn us han Leap. however. he has at tained to a more than average degrec of success in the affairs of life, and has proved his ability in several fields.
 MT. Thomas is of German paren.age and descent He is member of the Schwaben Verein and member of Bridgeport Aerie. Eagles. and since last night a member of the Knights of Columbus.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-11-01

The Farmer unhesitatingIy de- clares that the author of the cow ardly and unjustifiable attack up- on the character of Edward T. Buckingham knew, or if he didn't know, he should have known. that he was guilty of libel, and that he was fastening, or attempting, as far as he was able to fasten, upon the good name of one of our city's most representative citizens a stigma which if true should call for MT. Buckingham's retirement from public life.
 It was the greatest writer of English who ever lived who breath ed immortality into the thought that "he who steals my purse steals trash, but he who steals from me my good name takes that which not only does not enrich him, but makes me poor indeed
 The dastardly attack yesterday upon Edward T. Buckingham was a vile and villainous effort to de- prive him of his good name and thereby deprive him of the respect and admiration of his fellow citi- zens.
 It was by the same token an at tack upon every other decent man in this city of ours, and in our opinion will not pass without re- ceiving the rebuke which it so richly deserves.
 Every young man in this city and the father of every young. man should show by his vote tomorrow that they resent the methods of this modern school of scurrility.
 It can be answered and we be- lieve it will be answered in such a manner that it will never again be attempted The decent thought of our city should express itself in no unmistakable terms at the polls to- morrow.
 We feel sorry for Henry Lee. If ever a man should exert himself to action and with every fibre of his being throbbing to the utmost ac- claim to the multitude that he be delivered from his friends, he is that man.
 Publicly declaring to his fellow citizens from his official station as Mayor in the city hall that he would have to move out of Bridge port if he ever signed the ear barn grab, he by some strange influence was induced subsequently, to do the very thing he said would compel him to leave the city if he did so. Now a portion of the press that is supporting him oversteps all bounds of decency in attacking his opponent with the result that hun dreds of Republicans will help swell the storm of Buckingham votes that will tomorrow write the word ''finis' to the Lee administration.

WILL THE PEOPLE
 FORGET-IN A WEEK?

Bridgeport. Conn, Oct. 31, 1909. To the Editor Farmer:
 Sir-How about Mayor Lees statement, delivered with charac- terisric egotism and arrogance, in his reply to Alderman Meyer. "the people will forget 1t in a week" meaning Meyers reference to the ''harbor grab" That unknown quantity in Mfr. Lees administra- tion. consistency. is as lacking here as elsewhere He now says his course in the harbor matter was proper, and for the best interests of the city. But. what is this we are to forget Was there ever greater insult directed toward the voters of a community? What degree of intelligence. pray. are we supposed to possess? Are you go- ing to let Mir. Lee get away with this without comment? THE PEOPLE WILL FORGET IN A WEEK" What?
 Put this in lead on your front page Monday. This is not an elev- enth hour canard. such as the Herald spread over the city today. It IS an honest question which one voter would like to have answered before Nov. 2. J. D.

Sunday night The best ele- mcnts of the Hebrew citizens of Bridgeport attended this meetings. the greatest majority of them being sub stantial business men and large tax payers. and judging from the en- thusiasm displayed by them 1t is evil dent that the sentiment of the busi- ness people of the city is enthusiastic for Buckingham and the entire Demo cratic ticket

When Mir. Bucking- ham arose he got on enthusiastic re- ception. the cheering lasting about 10 minutes. His able speech was fre- quantly applauded whenever he made a telling point and he was cheered to the echo when he said: That while he is an unpledged candidate and he made no promises to any person or group of persons. he is willing to give his pledge and make this promise that if elected he will represent all the pea pie. irrespective of party. class or creed"
 |. After MT. Buckingham. John NJ. Donnelly spoke He received very hearty reception. as most of the audi ence knew him. having met him at the tax collectors office while paying taxes. Following MT.

DISCHARGED FOR WEARING BUTTON
 FOR BUCKINGHAM
Fate of Benato Celestino, 330 Hallett Street, An Elm
 ploye of the U. M. c. Go.

Dentato Celestino. of 334 Hallett street. was discharged as a laborer in the employ of the U. M. C. O. this morning. and he attributes his dis clared on several occasions that he was going to vote the straight Demo- cratic ticket and because he has been wearing a Democratic button.
 Celestino does not attempt to blame anyone but his boss. Andrew Caseria for losing his position.
 To a Farmer reporter wh~ asked Celestino for particulars concerning his discharge the latter said:
 T live next door to the boss. Caseria- Yesterday there was two meetings. one Republican. one Democratic on the East Side. Caseria said to me. You going to the Republican raetingg l said, No. I am going to the Demo cratic meeting' Caserta said. To Hell with the Democrats-they are poor and couldn't give you a job I said they Were good enough for me as I was poor. Caseria shook his finger at me and said. All right now.
 This morning I went to work md Caseria told me to throw the dirt in one pile. I did as I was told to do- Then he told me to throw it in an- other place. followed his orders and then he asked what the Hell was the matter with me and said I did not know anything and had better get through. I asked him if he thought he could fool me into saying that I would vote the Republican ticket and asked him for my pay for the time I had worked. He threatened to have a special policeman put me out. but engineer who heard the talk told him that he had better allow me for my time.
 "A few days ago told Caseria that I wanted to be off election day to work for the Democratic party and he told me that if I stayed away would lose my job. I thought he was joking but this morning I saw that he meant it. When hired Caseria asked me if I was a voter. but did not think much of 1t then Now I know why he ask

Why City Should Have Retained Harbor Area and How Judgment In Favor of Railroad for Damages Would Have Worked Financial Benefit to Municipality

that millions of property of cer- t-in forms is undertaxed and that homes and lands are bearing more han their share of the tax burden If I am elected I will do my best to correct this inequality
 s. During the four years of Dem ocratic administration from 1901 to 1905, can you name one concession secured by that administration from the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company. the Connecticut Railway & Lighting Company. the Bridgeport Gas Light Company, the United Illuminating Company. or the Bridgeport Hy- draulic Company?
 So far as know no Democratic administration ever secured from the public service corporations such concessions as are embodied in the 20 year water contract. in the harbor grab. in the car barn surrender, or in the offer of a re- duction of the cost of public light ing which involves a suspension of the investigation of the lighting company, the abandonment of re- duced rates to private consumers, and the just taxation of the prop erty of the company.
 g. Did the Democratic admins tration secure. or attempt to se- cure. any cock property during the four years from 1901 to 19052 And if any attempt was made, when was it made?
 The power under which the city of Bridgeport is enabled to con- demn property of the railroad to establish public docks was not in the charter prior to Nov 5. 1907. It was earlier used as campaign argument to secure the election of Mayor Lee If I am elected will awake this power of the city from slumber, and put it to effective use
