DoNNELLY'S RECORD

Sentiment during the past few days has been visibly turning toward Cam didate Donnelly. The truth about his service as public servant in the Common Council, the State Senate, and the Tax Collectors Office, has been remembered. His devotion to the interest of labor and his hard work to secure the passage of the bill giving shorter hours of employ ment to women and minors is re- called. His part in the contest that put through the senate the bill giv- ing eight hours to telegraphers and train despatchers is not forgotten. And especially in the public mind IS what he did to compel the protection of motormen on trolley cars, by the tablishment of vestibules
 Much performance speaks louder than the most eloquent language. MT. Donnelly does well to. invite. atten- ton to his record as an office hold er:.eps In, contrast with the record of Mir Warmers candidate it shines like the sun. tsS zs 2 e-s !

also on their homes-Mr. Warner and his friends could continue un- disturbed to take from the pockets of the citizens s2,000,O0O annually, a million of which would continue to be ''velvet."
 To make sure of this important point the policies declare that mu- nicipal ownership is really a very wicked and unnecessary thing.
 The people may own everything in the city that is not self supporting The people may own nothing in the city that is self-supporting?
 This is the gist of the policies that have received the approval of MT. Warner.
 This is what MT. Warner, and MT. Lavery, and MT. King and Coroner Wilson mean when they talk about @ business administration for Bridge port. They want an administration that means-GOOD BUSINESS FOR MIR. WARNER AND THE PUBLIC SERVICES.

 al reputation, which he values
 highly, on the sincerity of the
 purpose to put business princi-
 pies into the city government as
 evinced by the Republican plat form.''
 Simplicitas in his best moments was never better than this.
 How truly good it is to be "the power behind the Republican organ ization." Under the magic in- fluence of that awful power, politics become winter than snow, crooked candidates are made straight, dead records give up the testimony of se- cret inquests, Petersons discover that they never were in jail, twenty-year water contracts appear as the bane- full result of a disordered dream, promised filters miraculously appear beside the bubbling brooks; colon ba- cilli turn into the beneficient germs found only in Bulgarian sour milk bonds grow on every tree and mu- nicipal mortgages flock like playful lambs; the citizens of Waterbury continue to buy six tickets for a quar- ter good on all trolley cars; the peo-
 
 pie of Haverhill burn eighty cent gas and every public service corporation comes to the city begging to be ta- ken.
 There is no deceiving the Post from whom, we have no doubt, none so devoutly desire to be delivered as it's friends.

 Splendid business indeed for these gentlemen and for the gas, water. electric, light, railroad or trolley in- terests they serve would it be to have the city issue bonds for all perma- nent improvements.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE SCHOOLS WERE

tenn by making it 8 private enter prise, like the water works. the gas. works, the electric light works, or the trolley lines.
 Let us assume that these eminent educators own the plant, and that they have invested in it the same amount the city has invested.
 They will take dividends at eight per cent. just as they do upon their investment in water.
 The cost of dividends alone will be $127,280, or twice as much as the expense of running the schools now is. exclusive of wages.
 The only way that the new owners could save much money would be by cutting the pay of the teachers and janitors, and they'd have to cut lot to get back $127,000.
 But this isn't all. The new own CTS would probably elect to handle the school plant, as the trolley prop erty was handled.
 For every dollar of actual invest ment they called it $5 and take interest at four per cent on what they call it. which is one for the in- vestment and four for the lie about the investment.
 Under this latter plan, the profits taken from the schools would amount to more than it now costs to run them. The charge per pupil would reach we'll toward $100 per year.
 It would cost the citizens $50 per child more. The private owners would get the difference.
 Let us, voters of Bridgeport, keep on managing our own schools. Ii there is any reconstructing to be done let it be by way of substituting pub- lie for private ownership, in gas, wa ter, electric light, and ultimately ir trollies.
