EDWARDf.HALLEN

The candidacy of Hon. Edward F. Hallen, whom the Democrats have nominated for judge of probate for the District of Bridgeport. needs no advocate among the electors who en- joy the privilege of a personal &C., quaintance with the nominee. An eminent juriSt, a brilliant orator, an unselfish and patriotic citizen, Attor- ney Hallen will poll not only the en- tire vote of his own party, but a splendid complimentary vote from the Republican electors as a tribute to his worth and ability.
 Many years in public life have made the candidate one of the best known and most esteemed residents of the Bridgeport district. The towns of Monroe, Trumbull and Easton have given promise of a f1attering majority for Attorney Hallen, while in the city of Bridgeport he should receive such vote as to effect his election by an inspiring majority.
 Mir Hallen has served the city of Bridgeport for nearly two decades, continuously. as member of the board of education, most of that period as it's secretary, and again he has devoted his time unselfishly to the often thankless task of serving as the head of the board of police commissioners. MT. Hallen's election,

 From the comparatively obscure post of schoolmaster in @ little town of Northern New England, the can leading figures of public life of Con- necticut. Born in Nashua, New Hampshire, he received his early edu- cation in the public schools of that teacher of an ungraded district school in the adjoining town of Hudson, N. H., giving instruction to pupils rang ing from first grade to advanced high school studies. It was during the year he served in this capacity that he gained his practical knowledge of pedagogy that has served him in good stead as a member and secre- tary of the Bridgeport Board of Edu- cation.
 Coming to Bridgeport after his year in Hudson, MT Hallen a score of years ago entered the office of the Bridgeport Forge Co. where his broth CT Thomas Hallen was secretary, and Alderman Benjamin Fletcher, presi- dent of the City Savings Bank, was terasurer and general manager. It was not long before he was en- trusted with the important duties of paymaster, and given charge of the entire correspondence of the thriving concern.
 He had barely time to attain his residence in Bridgeport before he was rendered the nomination to the board of education, and his last election to the board was for the seventh conse- cutive term. He soon became the secretary, serving so admira bly, in that post that the board has insisted upon his reelection year after year though many times the press of other | duties has led him to ask to be re- lieyed of the responsibilities. Mem | bers of the board regardless Of party | unanimously demanded his return to 1 the place year after year, declaring | that thousands of dollars could not gain for them such as his services.

POLI'S..

The Lady Dainty of Vaudeville" Ethel Green continues to be the prov erbial "riOt' at Polls this week where she heads a bill that is notable for the aggregation of all stars on 1t and for weeks to come the splendid work of this little lady will be remembered and pleasantly remembered too. Try as they will the Poli clientele can re- member no other woman in a single act who has the charm, the voice, the magnetism and the collection of songs that Ethel Green has. She is gener- ous with her talent too for she gives twenty-five minutes of songs and cos tunes and the songs are as bright and refreshing as the costumes. Ori- gfnal songs, original gowns and a na- tural voice and manner that sums up the best assets Ethel Green has and her Alpine Rose, Girls Girls Girls, Innocent Bessie Brown, Old Fash toned Kid'' and other songs are whis- tied and sung all over the town which is a tribute to their catchiness. The Chadwick Trio come nexe in the mat ter of applause and their rapid fire comedy sketch with dancing trim mings by Ida May Chadwick the girl dred time winner Most of the pa irons rather think that they could sit all afternoon and see that slip of girl dance but she is not exactly made of iron hence the limit to her danc- ing steps. Then you have to write down Cooper and Robinson the best two men colored team in the business as the next hit of the bill and Will Hams and Walker will never be miss ed from the vaudeville stage so long as Cooper and Robinson have their health and bookings. The three acts mentioned would make a success of any bill but the remaining acts only serve to still further strengthen the present week bill notably the novelty act of Adonis and Dog a very clever acrobat and a decidedly clever dog. The Hennesseys, father and son of- ferring the modern note in the sing ing and sartorial line; Connolly and Webb in comedy act replete with brilliant piano playing and the Konerz Brothers wizards of the hoops, boomerangs and diabolos.

and training. During his school days,
 MT. Bent was a newsboy turning an
 honest penny here and there The
 greater demand of his life was for q law education. He wanted to be d
 disciple of Blackstone. This he set out to get for himself, entering Yale University and working his way through. A great deal of the time
 he waited on table, organizing an eating club. In the summer season he worked as a waiter in the famous Spring Hotel at Block Island, and for a time served as head waiter
 It was in this school of hard knocks, that Attorney Bent obtained the knowledge that no college can impart and became not only a Demo- crat, but a progressive Democrat, in sympathy with those modern social movements which make for the al- deviation of the lot of the masses. While in school, even though most of his time was taken up with his duties as 6 waiter and in study, he took con siderable interest in athletics, worked with the football squad of the law school, played on the basketball team, and otherwise played his part in the life of his alma mater.
 Success crowned his achievements when in June, 1905, he was graduat- ed. He first came to this city to hang out his shingle. His start here met With success, he being one or the youngest and brightest of the Fairfield County Bar association.
 Since attaining his majority Attor- ney Bent has taken an interest in Democratic politics. He has done eX- cellent work for his party, and has by his voice and pen contributed to the success of recent campaigns. As | speaker, he is quiet, direct, force 'ul and convincing.
 Attorney Bent is not the only mem- per of his family who has made q success in politics. His father is a member of the school committee of | 1is district in Norwich, while his | brother, Francis P.

 Eight months after landing in New York he entered a law school( continu- ing in the employ of the insurance company and graduated from the school in 1893 with the degree of L.L. B. and honorable mention,

 In 1900 he left the service of the company and came to Bridgeport to engage in business, being attracted by the reputation of the city to the eff feet that it offered good opportunities to a hustler. He started in business here in 1900 and was successful, ac- quiring considerable real estate (he pays about $500 in taXes) and in 1906 he decided to go back to the law bus mess and was admitted to the bar in 1867.
