Peter J. Carroll, the. next alderman from the Seventh district, is nominat- ed in a district that ordinarily rolls up a substantial majority for the Democratic candidate. MT. Carroll is not a stranger in politics. In 1902 he was elected alderman from the Sev- enth and his two years in the Com mon Council bear the closest scrutiny. He was always found voting for the best interests of the people and for his district. In 1907 he was returned to that body by a substantial major ity.
 Mir. Carroll succeeded by his diplo- matic methods in securing many im- movements for his district that were highly appreciated and it is not so long ago that his constituents will fail to remember what he did during his former terms in the Council.
 MT. Carroll is painter, widely known throughout his own district. He is known as a successful district worker, and his we'll ordered methods of campaigning will likely result in his receiving a fine majority. His friendly attitude towards labor meas ures in the Council called forth for him many expressions of approval from among the toilers, while in all transactions he was guided by a sense of justice and right that won him such approval that the renomination to the Council is his practically at any time for the asking.

An innocent Victim.

General F. D. Grant, at a dinner at West Point. once analysed the mili- tary genius of Washington.
 Washington, he said, 'gave us our independence by campaigning fault. lessly. He never made mistakes. There have been more brilliant sol diers than Washington. but there has never been so sure one. In warfare, you must know. the smallest mistake may dose whole battle, a whole cam- paign, whole cause. And that re minds me of poor Tom White.

This millionaire turned from good friend to bitter enemy he foreclosed on Tom-because the un- happy fellows stenographer acciden- tally began letter to him Deaf Sir.' !"

Voters of the Eighth district who keep tabs upon public works are well pleased over the renomination of their able representative in the Com mon Council Patrick H. Brady. Al- derman Brady has lived in the Eighth district for Is years. and his natural gift of keen perception and his deep interest in public affairs have resulted in his finding the spots in his district that need attention and securing the needed improvements.

humor of, tho eaeenster.

It was a beautiful barometer. 1t glistened from its splendid wooden case with a spick and spanness that boasted of it's newness. Its rich frame work clearly advertised the large price that had been paid for it. Its owner was justly proud. But it possessed one drawback-it wouldn't work. Ever since it had been purchased 1t had re- mained at ''set fair'' whatever the weather had happened to be. And the weather had happened to be particular ly wet. At last its owner grew weary of it's external beauty and exasperated over it's internal stupidity. One day when the rain was pouring extra hard he tore the weather indicator from the wall and took it out into the road.
 For a moment the needle hesitated. Then as the raindrops began to dim the glass 1t made up it's mind and moved slowly round to 'very dry."- London Answers.

One Aldermanic renomination that was foregone conclusion was that of Daniel E. Walker of the Fourth dis trict. Alderman Walker came into public life as member of the Com mon Council shortly after the muni- cipal election two years ago when John M. Near retired from the Board of Aldermen to become the superin- tendent of the Police and Charities building, which position he was ap- pointed to upon the recommendation of Mayor Edward T. Buckingham. By an unanimous vote of his party col leagues MT. Walker was chosen MT. Near's successor. He succeeded to the important committee assignments which had been given to MT. Near: chairman of the committee on Claims and membership upon the Streets and Sidewalks, and Lamp committees. From the outset MT. Walker showed commendable interest in city af- fairs and set to work in earnest to se- cure for the West End improvements which he believed that section of the city was entitled to. As result of his efforts many new crosswalks were laid, sewer wells were built, a number of additional electric lights and Wells bach gas lamps were installed. He gave his attention to the condition of the streets in his section of the city and was a considerable factor in hav- ing permanent pavement laid in State street to it's junction with Fairfield avenue. Because of the interest he took in this improvement he has won assurances of support from many of the prominent Republicans of his dis trict, including several leading manu- facturers and business men who are numbered among the largest taxpay- CTS of the city. These men are mak- ing a personal canvass among their friends urging the election of Alder man Walker and all indications point to his election
 MT. Walker is a native of Hartford. At an early age his parents moved to New Haven where he learned the trade of a stone cutter. He came to Bridgeport 21 years ago and located in the West End, where he has since re- sided. He gave up stone cutting about 15 years ago and. established himself in business at State street and Howard avenue He has since that time acquired that valuable property and recently purchased a handsome home at 375 Clinton avenue, where he resides with his wife and two sons Alderman Walker and his friends be- 1ieve that his record as an Alderman during the past two years entities him to reelection. He has many plans in mind for further improvements in that section of the city which he hopes to be able to carry out in event of his reelection.

This bit of humor and pathos is from the Hawaiian Star: ''An amusing in- cident is related of young service matron who had relinquished her hus- band for two years and who, having before his departure insisted on a good photograph. applied herself assiduous- ly to the upbringing of her two-year- old baby with view to the child's fa- miiiarity with her distant father. Each day she would call the baby girl to her and. kneeling beside her, would hold up the photograph. pointing out each feature to the child.
 "One day the officer came home, and the baby girl. then four years old. was summoned. Come dear.' said her mother in glee, papa has come home at lastv The child surveyed the off, cer in perplexity and finally shook her head.

cratic representatives in the Commo or Council. Then he began seriously tC consider the condition of affairs in the Fifth district.
 The nomination was rendered to him without solicitation but having already entered into study of affairs muni- cipal, he was ready to accept it. He is making a personal appeal to the voters of the district and with his well organized campaign victory is not soremote as it might ordinarily be ex- pected to appear in a district normal ly so strongly Republican.
 MT. Bison points out that in his dis trict all improvements have been made for the benefit of the rich, and the districts inhabited by the poor or modest home owners have been neg lected. He proposes, if elected to see that all classes are equally we'll serv- ed

Because of the prominence and standing as a citizen and taxpayer of MT. Charles H. Hinman, the Demo- cratic candidate for Alderman in the First district, the electors of that dis trict are confident that MT. Hinman will be chosen their representative in the next Common Council by the vot- CTS on next Tuesday. MT. H1nman IS one of the best known men in Bridge port. Of old New England ancestry he was born in Bridgeport the son or Henry Meade Hinman, for many years a wholesale merchant in Water street
 As boy he worked in his fathers store, and upon attaining his major ity he went to New York city where he engaged in business, remaining there for 10 years. Failing health rsecessitated his returning to his nome in this city, where shortly after re 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- tertion of Frank Miller and he ac- cepted from MT. 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 Mir. Hinman accum- ulated a considerable competence dur ing the years of his business activity
 He is married and has one son, E. D. Hinman. of the Western. Electric Go. of New York, and one daughter, Mrs A P.

Hinman served for nine con secutive years as borough clerk, in which position he displayed marked executive ability. He has sbeen a consistent Democrat all his life and few men in Bridgeport enjoy the con fidence of the public to higher de- gree. He has been prominently iden. tified with the Bridgeport Lodge or Elks since it's inception, being one of its charter members and past ex- alted ruler, and for many years it's treasurer. No political party in the history of our city has ever nominat- ed for office gentleman better fit- ted by eduction and experience to serve the people than Charles H. Hin man. He is almost as strong with the Republicans as he is with the Democrats and it is believed that de- spite the normal Republican majority in the First district he will be elect od

THE OPPOSITION TO
 JOHN NJ. DONNELLY

As an alderman I used my ; voice and vote to compel the ; Hydraulic company to filter it's ; water.
 I desired to prevent what has
 ; happened in Torrington, namely, ; an epidemic of typhoid fever. The Water company was com pelled on account of our efforts to better conditions on its water shed.
 The head of this company, who
 5 is in control of the Republican
 } organization, will direct every influence against me to prevent my election.
 If the ordinary man is to re- 5 main indifferent to the situation 5 De Yer H. Warner may have hts 5 way and accomplish my defeat. Do you believe that the man who controls the water company 5 and the gas company, with large holdings of stock in the railroad B and street railway company, who 5 has seized control of the Repub- 5 Iican organization by the power 5 of his money, is using it for your 5 good. or the 'city'S good?
 5 Is it in accordance with your 3 knowledge of human nature that 3 a man with large financial inter- 3 cStS in these mOnOpOl1eS would 5 spend his money for political
 5 power in order to benefit the common people?
 $ The Republican party in
 5 Bridgeport has passed into the
 5 grip of MT. Warner and is being
 5 used by him for the strengthen 5 ing of his public service enter 5 prises and in adding dollars to
 5 his already swollen pile. 5 If the people of Bridgeport do
 5 not rouse themselves to the dan
 5 ger he will accomplish his selfish
 5 aims.
