Mayor, who has been so mysIer1ousis heralded during the last few weeks, is De Yer H. warner, one of Bridge ports leading magnates. as the phrase goes! and. by himself and his family heavily interested in railroads, troi- lers. water, and gas But a glimpse of the .sbig mans" personality is all that is permitted. He steps from seciusion only long enough to say that .tcdanmercial interests will not permit ni,i to aevd;s ldsI tfhe fhe talmsgqhs talmmsg qhs thinks he should" to the affairs of the city.
 The esteemediBridgepo Post, which has sought to confer upon Bridgeport the blessing of ia big man for May or,i. lis sure that Mr. Warner can get inc Republican nomination. So is the Farmer.
 The element in the Republican or sanitation that is likely to control the nomination is sympathetic toward commerce. and, in his very first dec laration of political principles, MT. warner has uttered sentiments which will meet with widespread approval in those circles in which politics and busfness- mean about the Same thing. We refer of course, to MT. Warmers assertion that "the best element Of the city should support organized eff fort by liberal and regular campaign contributions"
 Confronted by the attractive pros meet of ssliberal and regular" campaign consultations it is as certain as any thing can be that the workers now supporting Chamberlain, Wilson and Arnold would flock to MT. Warner obeying a fundamental law of com merce. which is that wares bring the best prices. in the Iiyeliest. market
 No sai1er with money in his hand could be more welcome to his friends m shore than MT. Warmers candi- sst dacv would be to the boys at this time. who know full well that a gen. erous man always has friends and that a good dspsndersmakesaa strong run.

The people want six trolley rides for a quarter. It would be his duty as Mayor to fight for that reform. He would be in a unique position to ac- complish these popular demands. Once seated as Mayor, he would but have to issue the appropriate order to the appropriate corporation, and the thing would be done. m
 But Nosif4sa. bnet $ not be pes simistic over an answer to the oues- ton.

Tom Johnson made his money in trolleys, and lived to give street railway monopoly 2 first class trimming. Why shouldn't Mir Warner have change of heart fn fact, if he is going to run. fol f<.yer, he must have it.
