The personnel of the committee Luts
at rest any controversy as to the fair

If there was the slightest doubt ss to
whether or not a non-partisan com

chairman of the Patterson county com

Patterson sympathizer, but did not
take an open stand until recently,
when he was named as a member OF
the Patterson county subcommittee
For the past two years his friends
has been Dusy denying or asserting
that he was a Patterson supporter,
and his open acknowledgement of
his position is recent history. Mr.

 The Armory will be respIendent in the German colors of red, white and black.

BALDWIN HITS
 AT CONVENTION
Points Marked Contrast Between Two Parties in His Letter
 of Thanks
RELYING ON PATRIOTISM
Strong Epistle Sent by DemOcra- tic Candidate to Delegates
 Who Named Him

In a letter which is being sent to the delegates who attended the Dem ocratic State convention at which he was nominated for the office of Gov ernor, Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, head of the Democratic ticket, has de- fined the situation that confronts the voters at the coming election clearly as he sees it, and has entrusted in clear cut language the position of the Democratic and that of the RepubIi- can ticket. Judge Baldwin takes the opportunity to thank personally the deIeGates who nominated him. and to express his belief that this is the hour of opportunity for the \Democfat1c party. The letter reads:
 New Haven, Oct. 10, 1910.
 I write to thank you personally for the confidence in me which led you to vote in the Democratic State con- vention last month for my non1na- tion to the office of Governor.
 The belief that I expressed when addressing the convention, that this was an hour of opportunity for our streng gthened daily since the opening of our campaign. Our State convention is everywhere entrusted with the Republican State convention which followed it, and was disgraced by a reckless scramble for mercenary votes
 There is no money power behlnd our ticket We rely on the patriotic inn pulses of the people and their con viction of what makes for the true in terests of the State and Nation. We must rely also on the activity of the leading Democrats in every town in conferring with their fellow Demo crats and bringing out the full party vote.
 There is no question that very large number of Republican votes will be cast for our ticket, but this makes it all the more important that no Democrat is absent from the polls:
 You have asked me to head the tick ct. I now ask you to do your best to elect me.
 Yours sincerely,
 SIMEON B. BALDWIN.

TAKE EXCISE
 FROM COUNTY
JUDGE MATHEWSON FAVORS TOWN COMMISSION TO
 HANDLE LIQUOR
 LICENSES,

New Haven, Oct. 11.-Voicing the dissatisfaction which has been ex- pressed with the work of the New Haven County Commissioners, Judge A. Mcclellan Mathewson of the city court, following an address before the Council of One Hundred last night in which he explained bis proposed city charter, advocated the creation of New Haven to take the regulation of liquor matters out of the hands of the county officials. Judge Math- ewson said that he had not embodied this idea into his new charter be- cause he felt that it might arouse too much opposition but he 1ntimated strongly that it may be presented in
 As an argument in favor of such a change he pointed out the fact that according to the present statutes the towns are permitted to vote upon whether or not the liquor trade shall be permitted in their districts and reasoned that if the towns have the power to lega1ize licenses they should also be given the right to regulate them. Judge Matherwson spoke brief ly of the dissatisfaction which has at- tended the present system.
 During the course of the meeting Dean Henry Wade Rogers of the Yale Law School as chairman of the com mittee which handled the inVestiga- ton of the county commissioners, spoke of the recent report of the leg islative committee but said that he was not yet ready. to comment on the report. He promised, however, that a full report will be submitted to the Council within a short time, prob ably at the next meeting.

SOFT DRAPERY SPREAD OVER
 NUDE ARIADNE
Special from United Press.>

Washington, Oct. 11-"And Theseus, repenting, stole back in the night; drove away the Minotaur and spread soft drapery over the cold white limbs of the deserted Ariadne, ,''-extract from the @fNew Washington Mytho- Iogy.'
 The Minotaur, in the new version, typifies the curiosity of the personal friends of Miss Natalie Barney, prom etAItogether'' to her sister, for the statue of Ariadne.
 The Minotaur is furious because he had not half the opportunity he de sired to gaze upon the beautiful Ariadne and the nythological beast in various human disguises thronged Sheridan Circle again today. Now and then, he approached near enough to raise a corner of the drapery.
 Early today he took the form of small boy, going to school, and in this disguise he bodily approached the re- cumbent figure and pulled away the drapery. But instantly Theseus dis guised as a "cop," appeared, and Ariadne was quickly recovered.
 Washing'ton's society circles are shocked, but nevertheless thrilled by the incident marking the arrival Of the statue from Paris and the fact that the undraped replica, who was known to nearly every man, woman and child in the smart set, should have been exposed to the vulgar gaze of the multitude on her mothers lawn.
 Miss Barney's father established she has a large fortune. She has been in charge of most of the big Amateur theatrical events here in years.

HIGHFLYERS MUST WING
 IT TO SOME OTHER CITY
Management at JacksOn's Theatre Cancels Engagement of
 BurleSquerS.

Manager Fitzpatrick of Jackson's theatre announced today that the management cancelled the remainder of the engagement of ''The Efghf1y- ers'' a musical show that made it's first and only appearances yesterday.
 The play was not up ito the expec- tations of the management and after the performances of yesterday, it was decided to omit the remaining per formances.
 z MT. Henry B. Harris believed his policy of giving first class prduc- tions only at his playhouse was not fulfilled by the appearance of the Highflyers, and in justice to MT. liar ris it must be said that this was not his fault. The booking of the High flyers was contracted several months ago, and it was then thought to be a polite musical comedy" But it savored too strongly of the burlesque to meet with the approval of Mr. Harris and his representatives and they decided last evening to put the ban upon the show
 MT. Harris today announced that he would not countenance any further productions of the so-caIled burlesuue gra de, and he has instructed his rep resentatives to steer clear of any further contracts for such produc- tions. Money for tickets for the re- maining performances will be refund ed.

YEAR OF NO-LICENSE
Jeremiah Holmes Tells What Might Happen if Bridgeport Went
 Dry,

According to Jeremiah Holmes in speaking before the Mems Brother hood at the Washington Park Metho- Bridgeport should go no-1icense for a year, Bridgeporters would drink more water, wear more clothes, wear more shoes, own more sewing ma chimes and pianos, eat more groceries and meats, and Bridgeport's feninin- ity would deck itself out in more stun ming gowns and fetching hats, there would be more money in the banks
 MT. Holmes figured that the money spent in drink totals not less than S2, ,OO0, 900 a year and that the city's only revenue in return for this ex> penditure on the part of it's citizens, is the S144, 4,264 received in license fees.
 Mir Holmes called attention to the fact that if Bridgeport should go no- license for a year, 14O saloons would be put out of business permanently, even should Bridgeport return to the license column the following year.

PUBLIC OPINION.

Editor of the Farmer. Sir:-Major
 Thomas Boudren's communication in Hast evenings Farmer in which he draws attention to the death of child from tetanus following vaccina- ton, and announces that "this is an- other child murder by vaccination should be answered, it seems to me, seeing that this matter of tetanus is lone of the main standbys of the anti Vaccinationists.
 There is nothing in therapeutic Ecience more obscure than the cause ] of tetanus. The micEobe if it exists, is ultra microscopic, and nothing whatever is known of it. Cases of tetanus occur clearly traumatic: that is, with no external injury. pr. Bauer mentions a boy who fell, no wound following, and tetanus intervening. Dr. P. Gutternan describes several such (vide Archiv. and Psych. Vol. 1 page 730.) Moreover no limit of time follows between wound and outbreak fof tetanus. Tetanus has followed ap- Eplication of cupping glasses; the sting of a bee; a burn; a blister; even cut ting the nails too close (vide, Dr. H. Won ZiemsSen's work, <HThe Nervous fSystem," Vol XIV, pp. 322-329.
 From all this it is clear that it is impossible to attribute these cases to vaccination. Thousands were being .vaccinated; eight cases of tetanus ] iSupervene. What was the ultimate cause? Who can say?

MEN APPROXIMATE IN BILL
 FOR THE WEEK AT POLES

Something new in the line of musi- cal comedy is offered at Polls this week in the musical p1aylet 'College Life, produced by Charles Lovenberg. a well known manager of vaudeville acts. Fhe peculiar thing about this sketch is the fact that out of a conn pany of 20, only two are of the fem mine persuasion. It takes a daring producer to make a departure so broad as his from the ordinary cus- toms of vode-vi1.
 pany are clever, which makes up somewhat for the lack of quantity. Minerva Courtney has the leading role and Marjorie Dudley has another singing voice to good advantage. The men in the company are above the average grade of chorus mem and the act contains many good features of singing and dancing.
 Minnie St. Claire is a female mon o1ogist of unusual cleverness, indeed, she is one of the best single enter tainers and her line of clever comedy always brings out the laughs.
 Matthews and Ashley, always pop ular, are again visitors in town with a sketch that is slightly changed. They always make good
 cial mention because of the novelty and excellence of the really startling acrobatic act which they offer at the close. The feats which they perform while standing on their hands are nothing short of marvellous.
 Ted Lenore has a. fund of coon songs and parodies, and Ed De Corsa and company offer an amusing comedy The bill is opened by Tyson and Brown, a pair who get away with some good hard shoe dancing and in cidentally display an extensive ward robe.
 The EIectrograph presents a good display of motion pictures.

WEARING LAKE BUTTONS
Prominent Republicans Say Hartford Sentiment is Very Much Anti
 Goodwin.

New Haven, Oct. 11-Prominent Re publicans of this city, who are active in the present political campaign, re- turned here from Hartford yesterday and reported that all is not as rosy in the Goodwin gubernatorial fight up there as the Republican newspa- pers in that section would have the rest of the State believe.
 The feeling over the unexplained turn down of Lake for the guberna- torial nomination by the Goodwin bunch is as bitter there still as it was on the afternoon of the State Re publican convention and many of the wearing Lake buttons on their lapels, and will continue to do so, it is said, until the battle is over.
