 doubt as to his ability, or will have ] the slightest reason for refusing to vote for him themselves. or for failing | to go out and work for hin1. Stephen F. Boucher. with the assistance of other Democrats sent up from this city undid, in Behalf of the city of Bridgeport and it's people. the harbor grab which 8 party of self-intereste ed politicians and others had accomplished at the session of the General Assembly in 1904.
 Stephen F.

And it should be borne in mind that that measure. permitting that Sr2 b. was introduced into the legislature by a man who was supposed to represent the people. Senator Allan w. Paige, the right bower Of the present Repup- lican regime.
 It should be borne in mind that the measure permitting the grab was. or should have been known to other men people. as Senator William R. Brown ans as the present Republican cand1- date for mayor. Henry Lee. who was then a representative.
 MT Boucher was one of the first to take up the cudgels to squelch the per nicio,ls charter which it was proposed to give to 9 company called the Con- necticut Iron. Steel & Coke company, allowing some unknown persons to seize the whole of the harbor front on the east side of the river and to use it for private ends.
