Ed G. O'Donnell, American party

same ticket for long term councilman
in the Fifth, have made records In the
council and one of the most bother

On the committee for those two years

who knew it was unlawful to take
this money and left the warrants in
the city auditors office. They are
still there.
But both Mulvey and O'Donnell re-
ceived their money in violation of the
statute which provides that the coun-
cilmen shall receive $50 a month and
no other amount for work done for
the city. The fact that A. J. Davis
would not draw this small amount led
to an investigation by the city auditor,
clearly showing the illegal practice,
and since 1907 the members of the
waterwOrks committee have not re-
ceived pay for this work.

PRESIDENT TAFT !
IN CONNECTICUT

Hartford, Conn, November R.-Presi-
dent Taft added New England end to
his long western and southern trip today
by visits to Middletown and Hartford,
attending in the former city this morn
ing the installation Of DR.. William A.
Shanxlin as president of Wesleyan uni
versity and participating in this city to-
night in the dedication of the magnifi-
cent new state arsenal and armory.
The President left tonight for Wash
ington, going directly to his train from
a state ball in the armory.
The Presidents reception in Middletown
today and in Hartford tonight was in
keeping with the enthusiasm that has
been displayed elsewhere on his journey.
AT Middletown it seemed as though half
the people of the state had been brought
into the picturesque old city to partici-
pate in the welcome to the chief execu-
tive for Middletown shared with Wes-
leyan the honor of Mr.. Taft's visit. The
Hartford crowds tonight gave the police
considerable difficulty in the armory. The
crowd was so great and restless that
few of the thousands gathered in the
cavernous structure could hear what was
said.
President Taft, in his effort to be heard,
and at any rate to make himself seen,
climbed upon table and spoke from that
eminence His action was cheered.
AS a part of the installation exercises
at wesleyan university degrees of doc
for of laws were confirmed upon Pres
ident Taft. Vice President Sherman, Sen
ator Root and others.

if every beat were as Palos.
There 1t is indicated, the amendment
will draw a goose egg.
Amendment leaders know this.
At state headquarters leaders are just
as optimistic as If the fight was over
and the victory had been pushed away
in sono place Of safe keeping.
Reports fron7 all over the state are
bringing good news-the repetition of the
old story to the effect that the bottom
has fallen out of the amendment bucket.
At amendment headquarters on the 9TH
er hand, despite violent efforts to make
it appear otherwise, gloom is so thick,
according TO the reports, that it could
be cut with a knife.
Amendment leaders on the street tell,
in their expressions, sad stories of de-
feat. The handwriting is on the wall.
There were no special developments
yesterday.
Since the "slush fund fake appeared
there has been no practical fight for
the amendment save in headquarters.
1t is pointed out that with the excep-
ton of ministers, few men, indeed, are
telling the people of the state to adopt
the amendment. AS result anti-amend-
ment headquarters is informed few peo-
pie will vote to open their doors to
the foot of the 'fee-grabber.''

Lieut.. Gov. Henry B. Gray, unless the

scene with his presence. He will. no
doubt, be called upon by the audience
to make an address.
