BULL MOOSES'
 WILL LISTEN 10
 YALE PROFESSOR
Injury to Senator Butter worth's Leg to Keep Him
 From Local Meeting
John Taylor, An Ardent Roosevelt Man, to Attend
 Chicago Convention

Bridgeport is warming up to the idea of a Bull Moose party There will be meeting in Varuna hall, Staples bank building, State street, tomorrow night at which tentative steps will be taken toward the organization of a Progressive league Dr. Dow R. Beebe has issued the call for the meeting. It was oroginally planned to have Hon. Frank s. Butterworth of New Haven, sex-senator and a red hot Roosevelt man, as the speaker at the meeting. Word was received today, however. that Mir. Butterworth: had injured leg and is laid up at Madi- son and will be unable to attend. In lieu of him Prof. Yandel Henderson of Yale university and Dr, D. E. Croft of New Haven, who have spok- en. at different meetings in the state. will come to Bridgeport to address the gathering. 5.st
 After the meeting tomorrow night thereawiH. be another one at which time the organization will be perfect ed, the second meeting coming the first of next week, perhaps Monday or Tuesday. At the meeting tomorrow night the speakers will propose pro- gram of procedure for organizing a Progressive party It Is likely that a
 
 be no caucusing and Dr. Beebe states that it will be the object to conduct everything in open meeting. Every one is invited to attend the meeting, no matter what their party ah1liatipns are," said pr. Beebe today. The meeting nex. week vii be held stimuli taneous with meetings all over the state.
 The name of Clifford w. Marsh has been used in connection with the movement to organize Progressive party; also the names of Henry w. Stoddard, T. M. Sherwood, and others. This, however, Dr. Beebe states, cre- ates a wrong impression, as 1t makes 1t appear that they are taking an ac- tive part in the movement It is ex- plained lthat these gentlemen whose names have been published as being active in the movement, have merely signffed their willingness to attend the meeting tomorrow night.
 Dr. Beebe also wants it understood that he has no aspfra tioIas or desire to become the head qf the rnoTeMent, locally. T simply am interested and want to work for the interests suf a third party he said. th&f tziAn that I have no desire to appear con spicuous or prominent in 1t for any glory there may be in it
 There appears to be some Roosevelt sentiment under the surface in Bridge port. John Taylor. chairman of the -Audit committee, who is an ardent Roosevelt admirer, has stated his !n- tentions of attending, not as a dele gate; but as a citizen interested. the Progressive party convention in Chi cago, Aug. 5.

BRANDEIS, PEOPLES LAWYER, STRONG FOR WOODROW WILSON ln Interesting Statement Noted JuTisi and PubIIeIst Reasons Why All PFOgesslVes Should Unite Under
 Leadership of Democratic Nominee

minded qualities indispensable to. safe leadership.
 TProgressives should support Wilson. not only in order to secure his cleo tion but in order to enable him, af@ ter election, to catry on those pro- gressive policies which he has so much at heart. His nomination ranks among the most encouraging events in American history. Under the mas. Bryan the ideals of American dem. ocracy triumphed over the reaction aries and their money bags; the will of the people prevailed over the de- vices of the machine. The Baltimore convention was conducted with fair ness and seriousness and with a dig. nity worthy of a great cause and a. great people.
 The Democratic party has purified. itself and has been purged of it's cor rupt associations, so far as 1t is pos- action of the national convention But the struggle of privilege for privilege. IS undyfnG and omnipresent. That struggle is as subtle as 1t is deter mined. The struggle will not close when Wilson is elected We may be sure that every effort he may make as President to carry out the progres- sive policies will meet with stubborn resistance from the poesessors and apostles of privilege, without loyal support from the progressives of the privilege must be futile. The pre- gressiye cause can succeed only if it has loyal support from the progress sives. It can fail only If the fpruxres- sives fail in their duty of giving to Wilson that full support

REGULAR REPUBLICAN, CONGRESSMAN PICKS
 ROOSEVELT TO WIN

Washington, July 10-Declaring he could not see ..how a genuine pro- .gressive can support either Taft or Wilson, Representative Lafferty, reg ular Republican nominee for re-elec- tion from the 3rd Oregon district, to- day announced he would support Col- onel Roosevelt.
 Roosevelt is the. greatest man since Gladstone, and I will miss my guess if he is not elected to. the Presidency for a second time in November, as he has right to be under the prece- dents. The hackneyed remedies of Taft and Wilson, which propose to deaIw with the burning industrial ques- tions of this great country by filing a few tedious lawsuits under the Sherman antitrust law, will be thrown into the discard by the voters when the. Roosevelt platform is an- nounced at Chicago and his campaign gets fully under way''

ANTI RUM PARTY IN CONVENTION AT ATLANTIC'CITY Several Candidates for the
 Presidency Have Alp peared

Steel Pier, Atlantic City. N. J., July 10--When the National Prohibition acppvtntion. today. was called to orr dK on thas WindstskApt steel pier. there was every prospect Of a lively contest for the, presidential nomina- .tion, perhaps even d deadlock.
 Candidates for first place most mentioned were Eugene " Chapin, of Arizona, J. Houston Of Texas, Charles Scanlon of Pittsburgh. and O. W. Stewart. Of Chicago. Aaron w. Wat kins of Ohio, was about the only man mentioned for vicepresident. He was the candidate for second place four years ago.
 Atlantic City is not the worst place in the world to hold q convention in July and that may account for the fact that there were today, more than 1000 prohibitionists here, almost all the delegates, their alternates and many of their wives and relatives.
 Charles J. Jones. of New York, na- tional chairman, called the convention to order and there was the usual pro cedure of electing temporary officers, naming committees and speeches by the temporary. officers.

RUNAWAY FREIGHT
 CAR CRASHES INTO
 WESTPORT STATION
FREIGHT DEPOT IS DE1EOLISHED
 aVHEN BRAKES OF ssHUNTED K CAR FAIL TO TAKE HOLD.
Special to The Farmer,

(SpeClai 10 IM0 EarmeF1
 Westport. July 10--The freight shed at the local railroad station was de- molished and several men were inn perilled late yesterday when freight car, shunted into the station, siding, got beyond control of the brakes tore through the bumper at the end of the siding and crashed into the freight shed which fronts squarely against the dead end of the siding.
 The shed was torn to pieces, the men. one of them the brakeman, naE- rowly escaped dangerous injuries.
 Ed Burr, driver for Gault Bros, had left his one horse delivery wag- on in the driveway between the bum per and siding and was on the oppo- site side of the shed, talking with R. H. Flack of Bridgeport, the freight agent, when the accident occurred.
 Brakeman Harry Nathan, standing at the brake wheel at the end of the car away from the bumper, found that his brakes failed to respond as the car neared the end of the siding. He yelled to the men inside the shed but they failed to hear him. Finding further effort useless, he leaped from the car as it crashed into the bump CT.
 The momentum of the car tore the sent it hurtling across the driveway. and then car, bumper and the. wreck age of Gault Bros' wagon piled into the freight shed.
 Burr and F,lack were near the fur ther door and as the crash came they ran into the street and escaped. Gault Bros horse, standing clear of the smash, tore away from the wagon, and with broken whiffletree dangling from the traces started to run. The horse was captured without mishap.
 Wreckers were busy today clearing away the debris and a force of car penters will go to work on the freight shed tomorrow. The shed is about half demolished. The end of the freight car was half way through the shed before it came to a stop.

Berger's Bill to Solve
 Problem of Idle Labor
Wisconsin Socialist Would Loan Gov ernment Money to Build
 Public Works

Washington. July 10-A special money fund for willing Workers to. be loaned to. States, counties and cities for public Improvements is the solution of the idle labor problem suggested in bill introduced in the House today by Representative Victor IL. Berger, the Wisconsin Socialist. The bill urges that the government loan nloney-of special issue-for ex- tensive improvements and thereby give work to the unemployed.
 How soon an. industrial crisis will come do not know" said Berger in supporting his bill. We all know the government helped the rich mems panic in 1907 by Ioaning $42,000, 900 to tJ.. Pierpont Morgan, which he loaned out at per cent, utilizing the peoples money and the needs of the hour to increase his own wealth.
 My bill will give employment to thousands and later millions, provid- ing an elastic currency better than that of the A1drich currency plan.
 '"The government. can help the bankers and Wall street brokers; jet it help the unemployed. But of course the bankers will oppose my currency and fight the plan."
