 gaining his health he went to work for the Hawley Lumber Co.,, in re-
 sponsible position. Some years later his business ability attracted the at
 tention of Frank Miller and he ac-
 cepted from Mr. Miller the position of general manager of his big coal yards in East Bridgeport. There he re- mained until about eight years ago when he retired MT. Hinman accum- ulated a considerable competence dur
 ing the years of his business activity. He is married ana HdS Oue Soi' lI' D. Hinnnan, of the Western Electric Co. of New York, and one daughter, Mrs. A. P. Simmons, of Philadelphia.

STEPHEN F. BOUCHER

A real Bridgeporter is Stephen F. Boucher, who comes before the people for reelection to the office of city clerk on the Democratic ticket. Young, vigorous and aggressive he was signally honored prior to his cleo ton as city clerk by an election to the House of Representa- tives of the General Assembly. At Hartford he served with fidelity.
 Stephen F. Boucher worked Is years ago as an oysterman on the great natural beds off Bridgeport har- Dor. He was captain of the sloop Julia AZ and he did the same muscle tearing, heart breaking work that rs being done by the natural growthers on the same beds today. It was nat ural when the oystermen appeared al Hartford with an outrageous bill to confiscate their boats if they hap pened to get over a line, not always we'll marked, that they should have found a champion already at work against the bill. MT. Boucher spoke against the bill on the floor of the house. and 1t was defeated despite a favorable committee report.
 MT. Boucher was born in Bridge port in 1876 and was educated in the public and parochial schools, and for eleven years before his election was a skilled mechanic in the employ of the Singer Mfg. Co.
 AS City Clerk, MT. Boucher has been painstaking and efficient. He has done many favors for the people who have had business with his office and has always been accommodating. He is a student of municipal government and his valued legislative experience at Hartford has been of no little as- sistance to him as City Clerk. His supporters are legion and they pre- dict that he will be returned to office by a large plurality.

DANIEL E. WALKER

One Aldermanic renomination that was foregone conclusion was that of Daniel E.. Walker of the Fourth dis trict.

JOHN M. DONNELLY

John M. Donnelly, who is the Dem ocratic candidate for mayor comes be- fore the electorate of the city with a record of which the electors feel he has just cause to be proud. Dur ing his long service in public office MT. Donnelly has ever been active in the interest of the common people and the small taxpayer, and his atti- tude on questions that affect the la Dor interests is we'll known. As AL derman, as tax collector and as sena- tor. MT. Donnelly's record is without spot or blemish. In the Common Council chamber and in the state cap itol he has conducted himself as consistent Democrat.

He was returned to the office for a third term in 1909. During the past four years he has put the office on an teous treatment of all who have to do
 business with the office assures him a handsome plurality on November z. MT. Donnelly's record upon all pub lie questions stamps him as an off, cial worthy of the confidence of the people.

 the office of Mayor.

The football eleven of the Bridge port Trade school journeyed to South played the team of the high school of that place. Four hotly contested periods were played without either team scoring. The feature Of the game was the playing of Albert Baker of Bridgeport who missed two goals from the field by a narrow margin A stiff breeze was the cause of the misses. The teams will meet again soon. The Bridgeport boys were highly peased with the treatment they received at the hands of south Norwalk school boys.

MAY talk HITCHCOCK
. SCHEME TO DEATH
Senators to FiIibuster on In.
crease In Postal Rates,

Washington, Feb. 16.-One OF the
most acrimonious fights ever seen in
congress has developed over the Taft
Hitchcock plan to increase the post
age rate on magazines when the pub
fishers received promises from enough
progressive Republican and Demo
cratic senators to insure a successful
filibuster against the measure.
The openly announced plan to talk
the bill to death" means holding up
the whole postoffice appropriation bill,
and that means an extra session.
The bitterness develops through the
intense feeling Of President Taft and
Postmaster General Hitchcock against
magazines which have severely crit
icised and "muckraked" the admins
tration. On the part of the publish
ers the move is taken as a personal
effort by Taft to punish them and
they are resenting it in personal fash
ion. 1t has become a LATHE without
quarter.

Today, as one of its final acts,
the senate of the South Dakota
legislature passed the seed grain
law fathered successfully by Hon.
P. ]. Tscharner. This law is
practically the same as the COM
prehensive and generous law of
North Dakota, which has been
made its rattern.
As the law received splendid
support, it is safe to say that
Governor Vessey will sign it
promptly, and its provisions may
be taken advantage Of this spring.
Chairman Lennon has decid-
ed to promptly call a special meet
ing of the county commissioners,
but as notice of such meeting
must be made ten days ahead, it
cannot be held until 14th of April.
Efforts will be made throughout
the county to acquaint the farm
ers with this matter, and to get
their signatures to petitions ask
ing for seed grain, and to enable
such as feel the need of it, to
make prompt application for the
quantity they need.
1t will be up to the agricultur-
lists to let their voice be heard.
and the action of the commission
ers will certainly not wait long on
the demand, if the demand shows
plainly that a sufficient number
require the assistance. The law
provides that at least 100 free
holders must petition. This will
be easy to obtain.

March lst closed the opportnn-
lty OF Adams comfy citizens to
tlie their applications for seed
grain. How urgent the necessity
tor this emergency measure is.
was proved by the abundancy OF
the applications. Mr.. Gross. as
notary al North Lennon alone
TOOK something like 80 applicat-
ions, and applications were also
made out for the east part of
Adams county by Mr.. Showers at
5 overs postoffice. The number
taken by Auditor Kelley at Hett-
niger Is greater than this, ana
from the west end likewise a
gpe6ly number Of applications
has been made
When the order for accepting
applcal lions was first made it
was given under the proylso that
c1ly owners Of real estate could
apply, thus shutting of from the
benefits Of the measure some -
indeed z large number Of the
most worthy citizens OF the county
these being the very men who
had gone the limit in improving
their lands. spending every cent
and every energy TO improve
their holdings-money and en-
ergy which others spent in obtain
ing title. The commissioners
then acted on the legal advice
they were able to obtain, but
since then they have received
opinions from high authorities
which show that the law contem
plates the relief Of settlers who
have not proved up as we'll. In
accordance with this opinion they
have since encouraged the home
steaders to join in making appli-
cation, under the assurance that
their needs will be considered as
thoroughly as those of land
owners.
The neXtmeeting OF the Adams
county commissioners will take
place March 7th, when the many
details in furtherance of the plan
will be arranged for. That the
commissioners will secure grain
that is at least as good as what
the average individual can get,
is safe to assert
