LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Liberal Reward.

Mr.. Editor: At the public hearing
Before the charter revision committee,
held in the council chamber on Ccto-
Der %, it was stated that the charge
for shoeing, a fire department horse is
seven dollars, whereas other horses
are shod for two dollars
Now, that actual facts may have as
wide a circulation as the untrue state
ment, let me say the regular charge
made by all local horseshoers for shoe
ing a fire department. horse is two
dollars; this is the same price charged
for the shoeing of the horses of the
other city departments; it is the price
that has prevailed here for many
years; it is a reasonable price; and it
is less than that charged for similar
work in other New England cities.
1t may be added that additional
charges are made for rubber pads, or
feathers, a well as for extra time and
work when the same are required; but
in all such cases the charges are, and
always have been, fair and moderate.
1t may also be said that the men
who attend to the fire department
horseshoeing are liable to be called
out for such service on Sundays and
holidays. and at any hour of the
night: that they Invariably respond
to such emergency summons; and that
no extra charge whatever is made
therefor.
The plain truth about this matter
could have been easily ascertained,
upon inquiry; and it would have been
only fair for the man who uttered the
challenged statement to make some in
quiry before giving expression to
such an assertion, which was sure to
mislead the public, and create q, false
impression concerning the fire DEPART
ment and the Norwich horseshoers.

BROWN MAY DEFEAT YALE.
Saturdays Game Expected to Be
Closely Contested.

Not in several seasons has Brown
had such a good chance to defeat Yale
in the annual game between the two
universities as this season, and if the
hill eleven does not slip a defeat across
on the Ellis some thousand or more
supporters of the home team will go
into deep mourning, says a Providence
exchange.
Disregarding scores. which show
very little about the comparative
strength Of football teams and taking
only what the two elevens actually did
to Colgate, it seems that Brown is SUI
perior to Yale Colgate appeared in
Providence when the Brown team was
in the midst of a slump, which made
it impossible for the players to do
their best, but even at that it was on
ly loose play and carelessness with
kicks or forward passes which allowed
Colgate to hold Brown to no score. In
addition Brown was crippled for that
game and unable to muster the full
strength. Brown gained almost at
will through the Colgate line and swept
around the ends time and again for
long gains, while Yale was four times
held within the Colgate five yard line,
and once Captain Daily had to boot
over a field goal.
According to the story OF the game,
Yale was unable to gain consistently
against Colgate and frequently resort
ed to punting, while Colgate gained
many yards through the Yale line. Col
gate could gain first down on Brown
but three times in the entire game and
these We're around the ends.
Comparing the way the two battles
were waged, it is apparent that the
Brown line is a great deal stronger
than that of Yale while the Brown
backffeld is about on a par with the
Yale backs. with the exception of the
quarterback position, in which Sprack-
ling will outshine any man on the Yale
team put in that position. Jake High
will probably hold his own with Howe,
Mckay is a good a S Fred Daily, and
Marble or Young should equal Field.
Mckay will have it all over any man
Yale can select to do the punting, and
the Brown team is expected to be
speedier on the offensive. The only
place Yale will have ANYTHING on

A Liberal, Reward,

Mr. Editor: Believing that an hon
est ballot and an honest count are
essential to the maintenance of this
republic. I hereby offer a reward of
81 900 to the first man who will sup
ply to me or to the socialist party of
this state information which will lead
TO the arrest and insure the convic
ton of anyone offering brides to cleo
ton officials, or in any manner induc-
ing them to tamper with the vote, or
of anyone tampering with the vote,
or of anyone Offering brides to voters.
This offer is made without regard
to party and it makes no difference
what party may be benefited or in
jured by the exposure.
Rumors of corruption are rife in
this campaign. OF the results in one
district, Mr.. Walmo. secretary of Con-
gresham Sherry, has said, they were
obtained "by the foulest means I have
seen in Connecticut for sixteen years
1t is generally believed that the change
from Lake to Goodwin was accom-
plished by corruption and Mr.. George
l.. Fox claims to have evidence to
support that belief Men have come
to me with the statement that re-
publicans in this state expect with the
aid of corrupt machine democrats, to
control certain polling places and
count the votes as they wish. In this
manner the election can be decided ex-
actly as these men see fit and the
growing power of the socialists con-
cealed.
The time to arrest the possibility of
such action is now. Weeping and wall
ing after election will avail nothing.
All protests can be easily silenced by
the statement that the voters unfa-
mliarity with the Australian ballot
and CONSEQUENT ignorance of it's prop
er marking resulted in defective bal
lots on an extensive scale. I am not
concerned whether or not every one
of these many rumors is based on
fact, but l am convinced that every
citizen who desires an honest election
should be alert to prevent any posi-
bility of corrupt practice. Every So
cialist possible should therefore be at
the polls on election day ready to as
sist any Independents who may be
fighting for an honest ballot and an
honest count.
This offer holds good until thirty
days after election. and I hope that
other citizens will offer similar re-
wards. ROBERT HUNTER.

SPIRITS FOR RHEUMATISM

The increased use of spirits for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical fra
ternity. 1t IS wonderful cure
when mixed with certain other in
gradients and taken properly. The
following is the formula:
To one half pint of good whis-
key Cor sherry wine if It is pre-
ferred) add one ounce of Toris Com
pound ana one ounce Of syrup Sar-
saparilIa compound Take in table
spoonful doses before each meal
and before retiring"
Any druggist has these ingre-
dents or will quickly get them. any
one can mix them. This formula
was published here last winter and
hundreds of people were promptly
benefited.
