EDWARDF.HALlEN

The candidacy of Hon. Edward F. Haiien' whom the Democrats have nomlnated for judge of probate for the District of Bridgeport, needs no aoFocate among the electors who en- Joy the privilege of a personal &C., Qualntance with the nominee. An eminent jurist, a brilliant orator, an unseInsh and patriotic citizen, Attor- ney dalten will poll not only the en- tlre vote of his own party, but splendid complimentary vote from the Republican electors as a tribute to ms worth and ability.
 Many years in public life have maoe the candidate one of the best known and most esteemed residents of the Bridgeport district. The towns or Monroe, Trumbull and Easton have given promise of a fattering majority for Attorney Hallen, while Tn the city. of Bridgeport he should receive such vote as to effect his election by an inspiring majority.
 MT. Hallen has served the city of Bricgeport for nearly two decades, continuously, as member of the board Of education, most of that period as its secretary, and again he mas devoted his time unselfshly to the often thankless task of serving as the head of the board of police commissioners. MT. Hallen's election,

MT. Armstrong is a firm believer in all the blanks of the Democratic platform. Particularly he wishes for a good direct primaries bill, believ- ing that in this way the voice of the people can best be registered; but he wants a bill that will afford real di- rect primaries, and not of the bogus type as at the old town meetings when the man with the loudest voice carried the day.
 Since his nomination he has receiv- ed many assurances Of earnest sup port from substantial citizens of his district and from working people who appreciate the fact that MT. Arm strong is a man broad enough Of heart and big enough of mind to rep resent to perfection the 21st Senatorial district.

LEST WE FORGET HOW HILL STOOD
 ON HARBOR GRAB

The following extract from the Common Council Proceedings, 19O7-OS, indicate the attitude of Congressman Ebenezer J. Hill, in the harbor controversy, when he was asked to help the city save the harbor.
 Congressman Hill refused to help the city, although he de- nied that he had helped the New Haven Railroad.
 The report of the aldermen who interviewed Congressman Hill was as follows:
 The Committee appointed to ascertain the position of Con- gressman Hill in reference to the Harbor Line controversy consisting of Aldermen Morrissey, Conner. Primrose and Wilder, re- ported as follows:
 ''The undersigned were appoint ed at meeting of the common council, held February 3, 1908, to see Congressman E. J. Hill for the purpose of ascertaining the accuracy of certain statements printed in the Post, in which Congressman Hill was represent ed as standing back of Major Harry Taylor and in favor of the new government line, so called.
 "Your committee met Congress man Hill by appointment at the Norwalk club. Saturday, April II.
 sHe declared in the strongest language that he had not taken sides in the harbor question, and declared that he would not be dragged into it.
 'As to the truth or the untruth of the interview credited to him in The Post, he used the langu- age, That not everything that appears in the newspapers is to be believed,' and while he de- clined to answer questions upon this point more directly, he made it plain to your committee that he desired it to be understood that he did not give out the in- terview credited to him.
 "YOur committee finds that according to the statement of Congressman Hill, the interview in The Post, alleged to have been given out by him, was unwar- ranted."

position since I left the bench? And who has dared to attribute to me the statement that
 'The American workingman has
 been so extravagant that his profusion
 is a cause of hard times. and that he should be contented with an animal existence. and that he should not as- pire to lace curtains in his parlor or a piano for his daughter, or for more than two meals day" Do you, Aaron Johnson. attribute such sentiments to me; sentiments I abhor; statements which I never made? Point out when and where I made them, or confess yourself a slanderer!
 I am told that the Republican cam paigners have hired some five dollar a day speakers to go around to the factories. and whisper that have said that 8 dollar day was enough for workingnan. That is lie. which Mir Johnson does not dare to repeat.
 They are circulating in some of the shops garbled report of a talk I gave, at the request of workingmen's club,
 in Hartford, which invited me, eight years ago, to speak to them on Spend ing and Saving" My sympathy for the wage earners in their struggle to improve the condition of life made me accept the invitation and prepare such an address. The garbled report quotes
 me as saying. Lace curtains are too
 frequent in workingmen's houses" I kept copy of the address. and this is
 what I did say:
 T wonder how many pairs of lace curtains there are in Hartford in rooms occupied by men who don't earn and if so. there are. I think. 1000 too many. They give pretty look to the ! windows. but they keep the light from coming in. and are always worrying
 the mother with little children. as she sees them wanting to play with them. and they are always getting dirty and needing to be done up again.
 Everybody in America Is to blame
 in the same way. We are all furnish ing our houses, and our tables better than our fathers did, and most of us have not got half as much laid up as our fathers had at our age.
 'This frank talk then is meant to put before you an old-fashioned duty -saving. It makes some men misers
 1t makes some homes and some lives cheerless. You can abuse any good thing. But the principle is right. and if any man here will try how it works to put some of his wages into the sav- ings bank every month. and keep it up two or three years, he will have a new sense of self respect come over him. and if he happens to remember this evening. he will not be sorry that he had the patience to listen to a little old-fashioned common sense advice

ment to all members of the depart ment and important progress has been made in equipping the depart ment with modern methods.
 The excellent system of traffic reg uiation at Fairfield avenue and Main street, one of the busiest street corn CTS in America, with traffic passing almost continuously in all directions. was evolved by President Hallen, while other details of almost as great importance have been developed by him.
 Mir Hallen is peculiarly well adapt ed to fill the office of judge of pro- bate. Generous and kindly by nature. he may be depended upon to deal fairly and squarely with the bereaved and sorrowful who make up the great majority to have dealings with the tribunal. His long and unblemished ed record for self sacrificing public ser vice should win him a sweeping ma iority.

(By Simeon E. Baldwin

Judge Baldwin in a strong speech at Naugatuck last night reproduced herewith, has disposed of the lace curtain argument upon which the friends of MT. Goodwin finally elect- ed to hang their campaign. He says. what was apparent to everybody from the first. that he was merely advising men whom he was addressing to prac- tice the old New England virture of thrift. and preaching the advantage of having a little money in the bank. even in that little were to be had only at the sacrifice of some luxur- ies.
 Judge Baldwin has now contemptu- ously demolished the last breastwork behind which the lobbyists of MT. Goodwin had retired to conceal them selves and their real purposes from the voters. Judge Baldwin spoke In part as follows:
 
 this morning. a letter by a Republican member of the last House of Repre- sentatives, Aaron Johnson of Man chester, in which he has this to say of me:
 avoids informing the people of the State where he stands on the subject relating to an effective public utility commission-a commission with full supervision over all public service cor porations. including the Consolidated railroad and railway companies; an employers liability act; the removal of the S5,ooo limit: and just so long as the statement attributed to him so generally that the American working man has been so extravagant. that his profusion is a cause of hard times and that he should be contented with an animal existence and that he should not aspire to lace curtains in his par Tor or a piano for his daughter; or for moro than two meals a day are not openly denied, cannot see how any intelligent working man or any man whose heart Is with the working peo- pie can cast his vote for Judge Bald win" Is this man really ignorant of the fact that I have repeatedly stated in public addresses, and published let ters that am in favor of an effective public utilities commission. with as fun supervision over all public service corporations. including our railroads, as our constitution permits; that am in favor of an employers liability act treating compensation by employers of or accidents to employees, arising in the course of their employment as a part of the expense of conducting every large business: that I advocated in . public address twenty years ago. be- fore I went on the bench, removing the $5,oo0 limit for death damages. and have repeatedly announced the same
