 MAKES STRONG APPEAL
 FOR DEMOCRATIC TICKET
(Continued from Page 1.)

he Socialist nominee could accomplish no good for the city, think for mo- ment what harm it might do the city. If, by any chance, Socialist is elect ed mayor on next Tuesday, this news will be spread broadcast over the country. Outsiders would not under stand that the majority of our vot- CTS had not become welded to the doctrines of Socialism and would not understand that the electors were simply dissatisfied with political con- dHfcns and were rebuking their own party The impression would go forth that the radicalism of the So- ciahsts was in control in this city That being the belief, would Bridge port any longer be considered as such desirable field for the location of industrial enterprises? On what has Bridgeport grown and thrived? Clear ly on our manufacturing industries, But you know, as we all know, that capital is timid and the mSnufactur- ar who is seeking an available field for the location of his plant will not enuT . town where Socialism is even conditions of the municipal govern ment arc not stable and conservative. Many of the reforms claimed by the Socialists as their own are already in effect under the other parties but their propaganda, as whole, will not be accepted by the American people. If these manufacturing investments t s 31fsA A tas sAS t,a sasIst1ns Ssme 'o oi

 Many of you undoubtedly will make perhaps during your lives. Here is where your families will be raised, here Is where your children will be schooled and where they must get their start in life. Are you not there foiG vitally interested in the welfare of .0is city7 Therefore do not listen Co my idle or careless talk about turn ing the third lever. DO not thought Iessly. and without reason, vote for tho Socialist nominee, against MT. Donnelly and thereby injure the rep- utafion of your city and lessen its value as a field of enterprise and in- veGtments.
 Turthermore if MT. McLevy should Se elected mayor, political trouble and di6<arbanca will be brought upon the city. The Socialists are not saints any more than are members of the other parties. They have shown that they are not always above attempting to make political capital by insincere conduct. Knowing that they have an adverse vote against them in the common council and that the radical and extreme measures which they
 mieht advocate could not be passed end that therefore they could not be held responsible. theyswoAld und doubt- ed1 start pn upon aEmedt %isturblng : can readily see what the effect of this would be, continued agitation and contention in the city government. It needs no argument to demonstrate the damaging effect of this strife upon the city's reputation.
 The Democratic party, with seven ho1dovers in the board of aldermen. will undoubtedly ohEain a majority of thef new council. &How much wiser therefore And public spirited it is for every Democrat and every dissatisfied Republican to vote for MT. Donneily. He is certainly ve-y much more ex- perienced in publici matters and has a more thorough knowledge of city af- fairs than MT. McLevy has. No one will dispute that he is fully as honest. His public record Is conclusive proof that he will remain independent of all improper influences and will seek only the good of his city. With a thorough knowledge of the needs of the city and with the ability and will to carry them out. MT. Donnelly. hav- ing a working majority of his own party behind him in the common coun- ciIx xqapsaccomplish results beneficial to z9i1$0fty. To place him in office do. It will benefit the city's reputa> tion and work to the city's good"
 Senator Archibald McNeil, Jr., inter- ested the gathering by showing up the fact that the Republican 1obbyis-s who are now in control of the Re- publican party in this city were op- posed to the Employers Liability act

 SeaAtor A. NcNal.s Jr.- said.t
 sI am glad of this opportunity to say a few words to the electors of the Fourth and Fifth districts I am particularly glad to address the voters of the Fourth district because I de- sire to say word for the Democratic nominee for Alderman. Only a few weeks ago a prominent Republican manufacturer and large taxpayer and resident of the Fourth district, said to me:
 .H am a! lifezlongl Republican; have always supported U the Republican ticket. I have never mixed in pol tics one way or the other, but this of a man on the Democratitc ticket in this district for Alderman who has done more for the Fourth district than any Alderman ever sent to the coun- cil from here. That man is Daniel B. walker. I would like to see the Re- putdicaAa endorse MT. Walker. Such action on their part would be- evidence of their desire to reward faithful official I don't suppose that the Republican leaders will do this, but am going to urge every Republican know to vote for Walker. have watched his career since his election to the council and from the com mencement of his term up to the other evening when he laid the last block on the State street pavement his one aim has been to serve the peo- pie of this district.
 ssThis man, my friends, voices the sentiments of hundreds of fair-mind- ed independent Republican taxpayers and electors in this district. Alder man Walker has made record for this district and if the electors do not send him back to the council by the largest majority ever given an Alder manic candidate in this district, they do not deserve to have faithful and servant jn the council. It ia not necessary for me to tell what he has done for the district. You men know yourselves of his untiring efforts in behalf of the betterment of the streets and conditions prevailing in your district.
 sT have heard a great deal in this campaign about party platforms. The Republican platform has been contin- ually held up as a model of perfection. with prfd9S and havesspled1eds them selves to carry out it's every provis- ion. Now I am going to admit that fhefr p1atform has many admiral bIe
