provoked because their favorite is not going to appear and prepared to hiss the substitute down when he appears So he sings the then forbidden song The Wearing of the Green" winning ms audience through appeal to senti- ment and patriotism. The scene is dramatic in the extreme and exceed ingly we'll executed
 MT. OHara's support is excellent There is comedy sufficient and hap oily not of the broad variety. the scenic effects are adequate and the costumes appropriate. In marked contrast to so many Irish dramas this one has as one of the characters an. Englisnman who is neither a cad nor scoundrel. He is despicited as a gentleman of noble impulses and gen. tie breeding.
 MT. O'IIara is singing many new melodies this season among which are, 'The Wearing of the Green" An irishman's Toast" Nora McNamara," Eyes of Irish Blue" and My Queen is Colleen" The sale of seats for the engagement commenced today Mr. O'Hara is a favorite with local thea tre goers and he is sure to be greeted by unusually large audiences.

JOHN J. SPLAINE MAKES ATTACK ON
 JOHN 2. TILSON
Says COnnecticut's Congressman at-Large Stands For Just
 Nothing

John J. Splaine. who has been until recently. known as a Democrat, and who has lately joined the Butterworth Progressive Association in New Ha- ven. said in part at the club meeting, Tuesday night:
 T was up to the Ninth ward rally a few nights ago and I had occasion to listen to a talk by your Congressman at-Large, John Q. Tilson. John is a very estimable and handsome fellow, but who, like many others of oaIr Re publican officeholders is subservient to the leader.
 Well, anyway continued the speaker, 'I listened to him make a plea showing the reason why Col. Shepard should be sent to Congress the only argument that MT. Tilson could offer was that Mr. Shepard was a good fellow
 Why, Boys said MT Tison, T want you to meet Andy on the street And when you meet him I want you to say. Hello. Andy I know Andy will be glad to meet you
 Think of the effrontery, for I can not call it anything but effrontery," shouted MT. Splaine, when a Con gressman gets up at public raly and says that the representative of the people in Congress really represents nothing: that he is there to vote. and that men are only needed in Congress to throw out hot air as he was doing at the rally. That certainly was splendid argument coming from MT. Tilson. It was just as splendid an argument as is his splendid record in Congress as your representative. for he certainly, as he himself has said, rep resentS nothing.'
 This caused a laugh to go around the rCOm

FISKE O'HARA Singing Comedian, Who Stars in Wearing of the Green

Fiske OHara has been in Bridge port before and he is favora bly known to the amusement loving world as one of the best of Irish character actors His charming personality, the winning smile. the sweet voice, and the manly bearing. with no small amount of hlStrIonie talent, have carried him far along the road to such fame as the stage affords He is seen this time in his newest play by Theodore Burt Sayre. The Wearing of the Green,' and which comes to Jackson's theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday, with d matinee on Wednesday,
 The scene is laid in and near Dub lin and the plot has to do with a gay Irish lad who defies his elders in a marriage -arrang cement and in conse- quence is cut off without the proverb- ial shillingl But he is brave and manly and honest and has a voice of remarkable charm and cultivation so he gets a chance to sing in a Dublin music hall when the popular tenor has quarrel with the manager. This feature happens in the third act and the stage shows the rear of the stage of the Dublin hall and the audience.

Condemnation for "The
 Folly of the Straw"

Under the caption ''The Folly of the Straw The New Haven Journal and Courier scores the practice of Pre- Election polling as exercised here, in the following terms:
 The straw vote persists. Every 1n- stance of it proves more concluSlVely
 It's lack of value as an indication or a prophecy or even an aid to guessing. but it persists. It is merely in the hope of shaking that persistence even a little that attention is called to this instance, recent and somewhat near at hand.
 The Bridgeport Post asked the en- ployes of one of the largest of the Bridgeport factories to register their preferences for Governor. Three hum dred and fOrty-one thought it worth while to do so. Of these 159 said they were for Hunter the Socialist candi date 103 for Goodwin and 79 for Bald win Were this formal vote, and did any such proportion prevail over the whole State, We should have fairly good, man. but of Socialist belief and virtually a citizen of New York, for Governor.
 Some might point with alarm to this sentiment in Connecticut They need not. Two years ago the Socialists in Connecticut boiled a little more than 5000 out of a total of about 100000 in the State. In Bridgeport they had 634 straight Socialist and 161 Socialist labor out of total of 15,S2S. The like lihood of Bridgeport showing plu- rality, even for mild a Socialist as Hunter, is decidedly remote It is greatly to be feared that in this straw vote, as i'll others. many of those who voted concealed their real preferences as thoroughly as they could.
 The average c;tizzen respects his vote. With him the exercise of the franchise is a serious thing. He be- lieves in the secret ballot. and likes the construction of the laws in such a way as to protect his privacy or vote. Why should he do otherwise than regard the straw vote as foIiy ana worse. and treat it accordingly?
