CONNECTICUT FIGHT
LOOKS TO BE CLOSE
Republicans Find Roosevelt
Has Harmed Ticket.

New Haven. Conn. Nov. 6.-Roose-
veitism. the Payne-Aldrieh tariff and
New Nationalism, in addition to a multi
plicity Of State issues. have made the
contest in Connecticut one that is rival
ed only by the Mugwump campaign OF
1854 for diversity Of its elements and
forces.
The race Is close, AID the most astute
politicians dare not make definite fore
casts.
Simeon Z. Baldwin. OF New Haven,
former chief justice of the State SUI
preme Court, is the Democratic nominee
for governor. He is opposed by Charles
T. Goodwin, a man half his age. II is
generally conceded that the outcome OF
the campaign. which has closed in a
swirl Of bribery scandal, rests with the
Democratic voters.
That Baldwin will draw the independ-
ent and loosely fettered Republican votes
Is certain. The balance rests with the
Democratic WoTkingman. the socialistie
Democrats and the extreme Bryan wing
OF Democracy in the State How these
groups viii vote is a question that causes
Republican leaders TO look wise and
Democratic politicians TO become con-
cerned.
The results in Democratic wards o,
New Haven. Waterbury. Bridgeport, and
Hartford will spell Baldwin's victory or
defeat.
Bribery scandals. chiefly concerning the
Republican State convention, have come
with a rush during the past week. Judge

The contest for the Senatorship being
waged by the incumbent. Morgan q.
Buckley. and former Gov. George l..
Mclean is causing additional bribery

Republican party's cause. The small

Speaker If they are sent to Washington
and the House goes Republican.
Whichever way the House goes,
though. there will be a lively time over
the Speakership. Some Of the Demo-
Gratis already are sharpening their knives
for Champ Clark's prediction boom,
and If il gets a chance TO show its head
there will be lot of slashing, and prob
ably some bloOdshed. The Democratic
leaders already are figuring on the posi-
bility of a lineup in the next House OF
Democratic insurgents against regulars.
IN which event the merry war that en-
livened things on the Republican side
last winter is likely TO have its counter
part among the Democrats.

 In connection with the campaign of municipal publicity as carried on by other cities, particularly with reference to the adoption of a city emblem the Chamber of Commerce. of Birmingham, Ala, has announced q scheme for securing a desir- able design. The Alabama organization has started a contest, open to all artists or designers and offers $2o0 to the person who shall design an emblem acceptable to the chamber. There are no restrictions as to who may compete in the contest, ex- cepting that only one design may be sub u1itted by each contestant. The drawings must be on a sheet 12x14 Inches and may carry . motto. They must be such that q suitable emblem may be made therefrom for a button. badge or stick pin The one accepted is to become the property of the Chamber of Commerce..
 This contest Is open to local artists and the plan is one which may find favor with the local publicity committee. MT. Reeve said the idea of the Birmingham organiz- ation had been noted by him for consid- eration later on.

|. & N. AUTHORIZES WORK AT DOYLES
 ID COST S654,00O Superintendent Brooks Says Work on Erection Plant
 Will Start Very Soon WILL MEAN MUCH FOR THAT SECTION OF COUNTY Railroad Owns 12o Acres and Switch Yards and Roundhouse Already
 Employ Large Number of
 Worlmen.

Authorization for the erection of a great . repair plant by the Louisville and Nash ville railroad at Boyles at cost of { $e54ooo was received yesterday by local officials of the company. The plans have not yet been completed but it is be- lieved they will be within the next two or three weeks and work will be com menced immediately upon their fulfill ment.
 The report of the authorization was confirmed by Superintendent T. E. Brooks, who stated: Yes, 1t is true that the building of the plant has been authorized. The plans are not quite com plete and I am not prepared to say just what date the actual work will be start ed, but it will be some time in the very near future.'
 It has been known for some time that the Louisville and Nashville road was planning the construction of large plant at Boyles. It will handle practically all of the heavy repair work for .he sys- tenn and will employ an unusually large number of men. The erection shops are located at South Louisville and De- catur.
 A tract of 12O acres is owned by the railroad company at Boyles and the erec. ton of shops and yards there a few years ago has resulted in the extensive development of that section. large force of men Is employed there now and with these additional shops it will form one of the busiest centers of the Bir- mingham district. Furnaces of the Bir- mingham Coal and Iron company add to the picture of commercial activity while there are strong rumors of the erection of number of other plants. It is 8 sleepless town, there being a large num- Der of men at work both day and night.
 While the exact number of men to be employed by the new shops cannot be told just at this time the total will be up in the hundreds and allowing each work mans family to consist of four members it will be seen that Birmingham's popula- ton should be increased by at least 2000 or 5000 as the result of building these shops
 A large number of the present em- ployes of the company at Boyles have built homes there and 1t is developing into one of the prettiest suburbs and a large number of new homes will un- doubtedly be built there within the next few months to accommodate new work men.
