liquid softness Of her voice are en-
trancing. Every seat "a taken

Liuht Extension Needed.

We desire to suggest the dcsirabili-
ty Of having the incandescent lights OF
Versailles more evenly distributed.
There are four good lights iron'the
W. L.. Stephens reaideaee running
east, while the street to the Rock
Island depot IS In absolute darkness.
People going to and coming from
the two early morning passenger
trains have to make their way as best
they may. There is not a light from
the Stephens corner to the depot.
These things ought to be evened up a
little, when you get to 1t, gentlemen.

In the trial Of Chas. Rays for kill

another miscarriage Of justice, and
added costs for the taxpayers to meet.

upon questions of theory or tactics. socialists stand as one in the present movement for the advancement of the wrkers' interests. We stand and must stand for the full and complete solid arity of the workers. both economical- ly and politically.
 This brings us to the vital differ ences between socialists and a. largs part of those opposed to us and tn cause of labor. We believe the vote to be the most effective weapon in tn possession of the laboring man. But unless the vote is united. the edge ot the weapon is dulled and instead oi the powerful blow that could and should be delivered. labor strikes but impotently.
 At this critical time especially. be- lieve. as must all true friends of the working class. both within and with out the unions. that organized labor should present solid. undivided froai in support of what are. at bottom. the most vital interests of American citi- zenship.
 As to the present statussof socialism in tho organized labor movement. we are convinced that our cause is stronger than ever before--Some splen- did missionary work Is being done and we know that the light is gradually breaking. what we do or do not do al the present convention must not be taken as in any way manifesting our real strength as the socialist delegates have no. program of action in this convention. Peculiar conditions. which need not be mentioned. make this course advisable

UNITED DEMOCRACY OF SEVENTH HOLDS
 BIG CELEBRATION
Seventh District Literary Clnb Has En.
 thusiastic Session.
Jubilant Over United Condition of the
 Democracy of the District, Leaders Predict Bigger MaiOrities Than Ever
 Will be Rolled upat Coming Elections

In celebration of the united condition of the democracy of the Seventh dis trict the members of the Seventh Dis trict Literary club held a social gath ering in the club rooms. last evening. at which the attendance was nearly 200. While designed merely as a re- creation. the meeting was of especial significance. for it marked the first meeting of the sort since the entire democracy of the district had buried factional feeling. The phenomenal majority given to Alderman-ehect James Conlin went far to foster the feeling of unity among the Democrats of the district. and from the enthu- siasm displayed at the meeting last evening 1t is apparent that the district is destined to continue to roll up big maJorities for the democratic tickets for many an election day.
 Prominent among the democrats of the district taking part in the speech making were Alderman-elect Conlin. Alderman Finlan. District Chairman Patrick Morr'ssey. Former Alderman Peter Carron( and John T. Connors. and many others who have taken an active part in maintaining. the strong hold of democracy in the Seventh dis trict
 Following the speeches the gathering was seated at a feast of pigs knuckles and other refreshments.

 United Press.) .ft tt


 Toronto. Nov 17.-I am glad to have an opportunity to state through the United Press that nothing could be more foolish than the malicious rum ors set afioat during the lDast week by our enemies that the Socialists are soc king to bring about a secession in the organized labor movement. While am not a delegate to the American Federation of Labor convention and am not here in any official capacity. am in common a right thinking Socialist. In full sympathy with the trades union movement and am in a position to speak of the interest felt in the labor movement not only in America but in all parts of the world where socialism has gained foothold- No socialist. either within or without the American Federation of Labor. de- sires to weaken the trades union movement through the secession of any unions or removals from the Fed eration. Such a course. injurious to rhe whole laoor movement. would be most vigorously opposed by all social ists of America.

TANaLE IN NEW HARrFoRD.
Petition For Injunction to Prevent Granting Licenses

winsted. Nov. 1.-The superior court room was filled with New Hartford and Pine Meadow people yesterday when the New Hartford license case came up b efore Judge George w Wheeler on petition of F. B. Jones and others for a permanent injunction re- straining the county commissioners from granting licenses in that town. it being alleged that the vote on the H. cense question was illegal. inasmuch as the notice of the town meeting was published four days before the meeting instead of five as provided by law.
 Selectman F.M- Chapin testified that all the sciectmen signed the call and that copies were posted on the sign posts September 2s and a copy sent to the New Hartford Tribune" the sane day H. Roger Jones. editor of the Tribune" testified that the notice was published September 90. County Commissioner Case said that it was the intention of the board to act upon the license applications fin view of the fact that they had the secretary of states certificate that the town de- clared for license.
 Attorneys contended that the license vote comes under the local option law and that the law requiring five days notice does not apply. due notice being sufficient.
