To Contest the Election.

At a meeting Of the county con-
gressional chairmen of the 4th district
held at New Hampton, last Wednes-
day, it was decided to contest the cleo
tion of Mr.. Haugen.
From what could be learned these
men were convinced that there was
more than fighting chance to win out.
They are not charging dishonesty but
they will insist in literal observance
of the laws governing the Australian
ballot. 1t is expected that the recount
will take place early in December.
Each candidate will select man to
represent him and the chairman of the
board of supervisors in their respective
counties will act as the third.
Mr.. Murphy was present at the co..
ference and expressed his deep graft
tude for the splendid support given to
him and said that while personally he
would prefer that there should be no
contest, yet he realized that he owed it
to the men who had supported him so
Loyalty to yield to their requests and
consent to contest. He said that if it
were merely question of his election
that he would not consent, that his
preference would be to go back to his
professional duties, but in view of the
demands Of the men who had supported
him, he could not allow his personal
preference to guide him in this natter.
Chairman O'Connor in letter given
out for publication says:
"Mr. Murphy particularly set forth
that under no circumstances would he
accept the seat in congress, if upon in
vestigation it was found that Mr..
Haugen was legally elected. This was
also the sentiment of all those present,
SO that this contest is instituted in
good faith in the belief that the will of
the majority of the people of the dis
trict has been defeated. If, upon full
investigation it is found that Mr.. Hau-
gen is legally and fairly elected, Mr..
Murphy will be the first one to an
nounce his acquiescence in the results.

The various reasons which will form

The various reasons which will form
basis in this contest cannot now be
fully set forth, but it has been report
ed that in many Of the precincts votes
cast for Murphy have been counted for
Haugen, votes for Murphy have been
rejected. votes apparently cast for
Haugen but with Identification marks
have been counted for Haugen when
they should have been rejected.
The laws of the United States which
prohibit post masters and mail carriers
from taking an active part in politics
has been openly and fagrantly detied.
Postmasters have :openly neglected
their duties and devoted their time to
campaign work for Haugen. Mail car
riers have been terrorized by written
demands signed by Haugen for work
and support. The laws of the postal
department have been violated in var
ious ways. Money has been used for
illegal purposes. Methods have been
resorted to which would shame Penn
syIvania in the first days of election
frauds.
All these things and many more have
resulted in giving Mr.. Haagen an ap-
parent majority, but we do not believe
that the people are required to submit
to such methods, and every legal effort
will be made to bring the truth before
the proper tribunal, whose duty it is to
decide these questions.

CUNSHANAN'S ADDRESS TO
 LABOR MEN

The local union Of the Brotherhood of Carpenters & Joiners were address, ed by State Tuberculosis Commission CT John Gunshanan, yesterday after noon at Columbus park where they gathered with a number of the boss builders of the city for an outing in celebration of Labor Day. MT. Gunshanan is the Hartford man who first interested the workingmen in the state in the fight against tuberculosis He was also prominent identified with the work of having the state Anti-Tubercu1osis commission created.
 MT. Gunshanan, spoke about the homes which are being erected in the different counties by the state, and said that the Fairfield county home, located in Shelton, was now open for ed the working people of Bridgeport to take advantage of the privileges offered by the Home as soon as pos sible, as the cost for treatment was now within the reach of even the very poorest sufferer from this dread dis ease.
 MT. Gunshanan said there was still much to be done along the line of leg islatton h order to bring the prob- ieT1s connected with the treatment Of tubeculosis patients nearer to a. up to the working people to back up'' the State Commission in it's erecom- nlendatfons to the next General As senbIy
 
 will probably be one for the erection of a Home somewhere along the shores of the salt water which is to be used for the treatment of patients Especially children) suffering from bone tub erculosis.
 Homes are badly needed in both for the treatment of tubercular pa tients and this matter will also no doubt be taken up at the next Gen. eral Assembly.
 T~ ie Io- fnd {ra prevent, 1t, Connecticut today is the dumping ground for diseased cattle; other states have laws protecting them in this matter and strenuous effort will be made to have the next General Assembly enact a. law to pre- vent this practice in our state It IS impossible to cure people affected with this disease, Or to prevent the spread of the disease, as long we allow tubercular beef and milk to be sold in the markets for consumption
 Another matter in which the speak CT said he has been deeply interest ed for long time. is that of an ape propriation to aid the dependents of those who are receiving treatment in the sanitariums under state control and are therefore, unable to contri- families. He said that if the com mon people would interest themselves in this matter at this time. they could have a plank inserted in the platform of both the Democratic and Republican parties, pIedging them selves in favor of such a measure.
 There were about 250 members pres entN Clam chowder was served in the forenoon, roasted lamb at noontime and an old fashioned clanbake was enjoyed in the afternoon. Athletic sports which had been planned were not held because of the wet ground excepting quoit pitching. William Simpson and his partner, William Bowling defeated William Hogan and partner five to three in a series.

 He was laughing yesterday as he had been in the court room five years ago, when Scarpia singled him out He paled when he recognized his enc my and took one step backward; then came the first shot. It was fatal, but Scarpia fired twice more to make sure Then he walked from the horror stricken group as 1eisure1y as he had come and disappeared utterly. The police have no clues
 Scarpia was 8 model prisoner. He was a silent man who went consc1en- tious1y through his work like one who still had a task to perform He was released at noon Saturday.

 Connecticut is interested in the contemplate inland route from Bos- ion to Jacksonville. To those who are informed upon this subject, it appeals as good, sound business proposition-not only a good commer- ciaI proposition, but a valuable aid for the defense of our government should we be called upon to defend our coast.
 We are constructing, at cost of hundreds of millions, an interoeeanic canal, one of the purposes of which is to permit. concentration of our At 1antic and Pacific fleets upon either coast for it's defense against an ene-' my. Is it wise to, at the same time, neglect the construction of an inner waterway along the Atlantic coast, which would greatly and safely facf- slitate such concentration at any threatened point? And is not the provision of such facilities the great est possible safeguard against war?

WINS
 POST FIGHT
Request For Injunction Against A. F. of L. and Bucks Stove
 Co. Denied

Red Oak. Iowa. Sept 6-Judge Smith McPherson of. the United States district court, has denied the request of c. w. Post, of Battle Creek, Mich. for an injunction to restrain the American Federation of Labor and it's officers and Bucks Stove & Range company of St. Louis from entering into closed shop agreement.
 The court said sufficient notice had not been given to the defendants. At torneys for MT. Post and the stove company were in court, but there was no extended argument on the case. The American Federation of Labor and its officers made defendant in the suit were not represented by counsel.
 Judge McPherson will file his opin- ion today.
 The action grew out of the meeting held in Cincinnati in July at which labor leaders and stove company of hcials agreed to terms for the lift ing of the boycott on the product of the Bucks company.
 Posts position is that, as a stock holder in the Bucks company, he and the company will suffer great loss if the plant is made into a closed shop.

 Of course, if we do not neutralize 1t, we must be prepared to defend it in case of war. If captured, it could be used against us. Therefore it should be fortified-made practically iapregnable. It would be the height of folly to provide such a means of interoceanic passage, and then. by neg lecting it's defense, leave it free for the concentration of hostile fleets against both Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
