tion brought forth. You know how these delegates saw fit to vote.
 Now, gentlemen and fellow Demo- crats, I want you to understand me clearly tonight. I am speaking to you frankly and publicly. I am not tell what I think nor what I want. I believe that an honest, upright, straightforward method Of speaking in sucal matters is as good as an hon. est confession is good for the soul And that is why I say that I am dis: appointed. And especially am dis appointed in the fact that some men whom I had the good fortune to be able to appoint to offices whereby they received remunera ton through which they were able to support their families better than they could have done in the past, that these men saw fit to forget these things. tell you, gentlemen, that relying upon these as- surances I did all I could and then left the rest to them.
 Still when we think of what has happened. we at the same time think that we are all members of the Dem- ocratic party, that we believe in its principles, and as stand before you tonight I tell you frankly, honestly and earnestly that believe just as much in the principles of the Demo- VI AdtAC PdA y JULIE dS ] ulu a W0Gk or 10 days ago, and when I tell you that, I mean what I say. These are not idle words. I have always been a Democrat and always shall be a Democrat.
 I believe that the Democratic party is the party of the ordinary, every day man, and consider that I am one of the ordinary, everyday men. have had the good fortune to have en- fovod cn11noo. odnoofinn hut had to work to get it. It wasn't handed to me on a silver platter and for that reason appreciated it ari tfe nssre. ]
 Notwithstanding the fact that I an disappointed; notwithstanding the fact that believe that certain men in our party absolutely and unqualifiedly and without excuse broke their words to me; and notwithstanding the fact that have had much ingratitude shown me by certain men, I want to say that I have forgotten personal matters. I stand here as man hon. ored by his party and by the city, and I say to you to support to the best, of your ability, as I am going to- do it, support the Democratic ticket from top to bottom.
 I believe that my record as Mayor of the city entitled me to renomi- nation. I feel that I retain the con- fidence of the great mass of voters of the Democratic party, and that the convention did not reflect the wishes of the Democratic electorate. At the same time I want to be on record as declaring that I believe John M. Don nelly as Mayor will wear no mans collar, and that he will not be influ- enced by sinister forces in the per- formance of his duties.
 Though we may have our grievances,

New York, Nov. 2.-Arbitration of every disputed question, even includ- ing questions involving the national honor. as advocated by President Taft, is disapproved by Former Pres ident Roosevelt, in a signed editorial in this weeks issue of The Outlook
 Tt would be not merely foolish but wicked for us, as a nation, to agree to arbitrate any disputes that affect our vital interest or our independence or our honor," emphatically declares the former President, in direct con trast to the pleas of President Taft.
 Colonel Roosevelt tells of the his- toric siege of Lille and of the offer of surrender of Marshal De Boufleres, to which the victorious Prince Eugene of Savoy replied, asking the van quished leader to write his own terms of surrender, assuring him:
 ''I shall change nothing, save in the case that something is put in con trary to my honor and to my duty"
 "The attitude that the highly civil 1ized nations of today can take to- ward one another" declared Colonel Roosevelt, when questions involvin g the possibility of war are at issue, should be in substance the, same as the attitude that these two great and gallant soldiers took. A smaller man than Prince Eugene or a blood thirsty and ungenerous man would never have written such letter and thereby would have shown not only less generosity but also in reality less wisdom, and on the other hand, a weak or foolish man who had at tempted to act with similar generosity would probably have promised too much and then found himself in the discreditable position of being obliged either to betray his country's inter ests or to go back on his plighted word. By reserving to himself the right to refuse to do anything incon- sistent with honor and duty, by prom ising everything he could perform and then making his promise good, Prince Eugene rendered a service to human ity. and especially by his deed in making good his words, he advanced the standard of civilized conduct be- tween enemies.
 .tIn proposing and in carrying out arbitration treaties, the American people should act in precisely this spirit. 1t is astounding to realize what short memories many persons have and the wilful blindness with which they close their eyes to the teachings of even the most recent blind in the past they ought to be able to see what is happening in the present. Surely the real friends of peace in this country ought to be able to profit by the events that

Frank Timko Wins
 Figh1 For License
JUDGE CURTIS UPHOLDS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IN ALLOWING FORMER ALDERMAN TO
 OPEN SALOON IN
 BANK STREET.

Former Alderman Frank Timko of the Third District has won his fight for the right to open a saloon in the old Star Garden in Bank street. Judge Howard J. Curtis of the superior court this morning handed down decision in which he upheld the action of the county commissioners in granting Timko a transfer of a license from Elm to Bank street.
 Mackenzie Bros. proprietors. of the Public market, appealed from the de- cision of the commissioners and a hearing upon the appeal was held yesterday before Judge Curtis. It was alleged that the place is unsuit- able for saloon. Timko maintained that he intended to conduct a tIrst class saloon and that no women were to be allowed there.
 In his memorandum Judge Curtis said the only questions involved were whether the commissioners had acted illegally or had abused their DOW CTS. The court said, "The evidence does not show unfair, arbitrary or un- reasonable action"

Buckingham Excupdes Candidate DonneIy From Participation in Political Deceit and Invites Democrats
 to Support Him
DoneIy Tells of Difficulty He Had as Alderman in Getting K pert to Tell Truth About Electric Light tsplendid Recep- tion to Town Clerk Thonas--RdI ies in Eagles
 and SokOl Hall Prove Enthusiastic

With most of the Democratic can didates as speakers, and with speeches reflecting growing confidence of a fine Democratic victory, a rousing rally was held at Eagles hall, last evening. Several hundred attended. extending to Mayor Buckingham and the other speakers receptions that au- eured well1,fer the enthusiasm of the Democracy of the city.
 Mayor Buckingham's manly state ment of the treachery of Democratic leaders in the convention toward him. self. was accompanied by an exculpa- ton of Candidate Donnelly, ana the Mayors request to vote me Demo- cratic ticket.
 The Mayor spoke as follows:
 Fellow Democrats of the Sixth, sew enth and Eighth districts: I thank won sincerely for your cordial recep- ftoy,. I have stood upon this plat form upon many occasions, during both city and State elections, and my voice has always been raised in favor of the Democratic party and in favor of those who were selected by that party for public office. appear here touieht for the first time in a new position. however, and I feel that It is incumbent upon me to do so Tor two purposes The first Is to say a few words in my own defense, ana secondly to say perhaps more words in favor of those who have been for tunate enough to be candidates upon the Democratic ticket this fall.
 They say that political speaker. as q rule, when he goes upon the plat form doesn't speak the truth. think perhaps sometimes that may be true. Sometimes the speaker in talk ing of things political may allow his enthusiasm to get the better of his judgment, and he may say things which he cannot prove. But be lieve that ordinarily the man awfs takes 1se fsatform for p'1itseels epeech intends at least when he starts his speech, to speak the truth. And tonight | am going to speak to you, and, gentlemen, propose to speak the truth, and nothing but the truth.
 To say to you tonight that I was not disappointed on last Thursday night would certaiEdy not be telling you the truth. I was disappointed, and I admit it. I am man enough to admit 1t especially to you. the vot- CTS of these districts where perhaps am best known, where perhaps I know more persons than I do in the other districts. I want to tell you tonight, gentlemen, that the leaders of our party did see fit to say to me num- Der of weeks ago, to pledge them selves in fact, to give me their word that they would support me for re- nomination for this office of Mayor.
 Gentlemen, I had no reason to dis believe them. Even in my own dis trfct I used my influence to avoid having a contest at the primaries, and there was no contest. I used the same influence in another district, the Seventh, and still you all know the result; you know what the conven-

Direct Primaries
 On Trial Today
Special from United Press.)

Washington, Nov. 2-The national movement for direct primaries legis- lation for the initiative and referen- dunn is on trial today as to it's right for legal existence, as the constitu- tionality of the Oregon measure is at tackled in two cases set for argument before the Supreme Court of the Unit ed States, late this afternoon.
 A decision adverse to Oregon would be a severe blow to the initiative and referendum in the United States. The Oregon courts have favored both. The Pacific Coast Telephone & Telegraph Company, an Oregon corporation, con tests the legality of the taxes on the ground that the initiative amendment to the State constitution is ''repugnant to the constitution of the United States"
 Another case is brought by Frank Kernan, a citizen of Portland, who is fighting the sale of bridge bonds au- thorized by an amendment to the Portland city charter, adopted through the use of the initiative.

GETTING READY TO SHEAR THE SHEEP
 EOD Q

De Yer HI. Warner, who is an in gas, water, trOlleys and rail- roads, has kindly consented to make public his control of his latest acquisition, the local Re- publican organization.
 He now says that his object in politics is to confer upon the people of Bridgeport ''the com- mission form of government" !" presumably whether they want it or not, since his "policies'' do not mention the referendum.
 Mir. Warmers "pOlicies'' had previously been reduced to writing, and to the deeclaratiOn that ''the Republican party is not now in a position to declare for complete commission form of government"
 But the ''policies' do declare strongly for a consolidated con- trol of the streets of the city, under circumstances that would make them as much a part of Mir. Warmers system as his gas or water company is.
 The policies use no unhesi- tating language when they treat of nlortgaging the city, which, with exhausted credit, could not engage in productive enterprises, like the sale of gaS, water, elec- tric light and transportation.
 And finally, lest there should be some doubt about it, MT. Warmers policies put large, long and sharp spike into muni- cipal ownership.
 If the commission form of government will delay municipal ownership of public utilities, un- doubted Y it will sometime have a stronger position in the poli- cies.
 In the meantime electors have a little common sense, and will have no difficulty in understand ing Mir. Warmers motives as the controlling factor in an organiza- tion which has produced Messrs. King, I,avery and Coroner Will son as bell wethers to lead the fleecy flock up to the shears of monopoly.
