WILSON GAINED STRENGTH.
BRYAN'S VIEW OF WILSON-HAR-
VEY ROW.
Candor of New Jersey Governor Ap-
peals 10 Honest Democrats Every
where-Bryan Has Not Decided on
His Candidacy for President.

Dallas, Texas, Jan. 30.-"In the
Harvey Wilson controversy so far
Mr.. Wilson has been helped rather
than hurt by the correspondence. Mr..
wilson is right in believing that a
man is sometimes hurt by the sort
of men clamorous in his support"
William j. Bryan made this COM
ment tonight between Gov. Woodrow
Wilson Of New Jersey and Col. Henry
Watterson of Kentucky. Mr.. Bryan
was in Dallas for several hours be-
tween trains, en- route to his farm at
Mission, Tex, and discussed the po-
litical situation In general.
"I am under no bond to keep the
peace" declared Mr.. Bryan tonight
in discussing the political situation
in general while waiting for his train
en- route to his farm at Mission, Tex.
Harmony is not the most desirable
thing in public life. The organiza-
ton proceeding upon that principle
can progress only as fast as the slow
est Of its elements"
The contest in Missouri between
Speaker Champ Clark and former
Gov. Joseph w. Folk. he described
as distinctly unfortunate"
Whatever the result Of the pri-
maries," Mr.. Bryan said, ut is to be
feared that either Of the contestants
will have weakened his chance OF
carrying Missouri in the general cleo
tion.
1T was a mistake that the Clark
men would not accept the Stephens
suggestion, a thing I heartily ap-
proved, that the two Missouri men
divide the vote Of the State on the
first ballot in the national conven-
Con and that the one of them who
shall have received the larger sup
port in the delegations from other
States take the full vote of the dele
cation afterwards.
About the letter Gov. Wilson wrote
TO A. II. Joline several years ago"
Mr.. Bryan was asked.
"A shining example that Mr.. Will
son is the best modern example OF
Saul Of Tarsus," Mr.. Bryan exclaim-
ed. He has been soundly converted.
Any one who talks with him or hears
him will be convinced Of that. Mr..
Wilson's sort of progressiveness is
best determined in the Smith Incl
dent in New jersey
At this time Mr.. Bryan will not
make any announcement as to his
choice Of candidates for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
There will be a campaign in my
State in about two months" Mr.
Bryan continued. Il expect to be In
that campaign and before that time
to decide between the Democratic
presidential candidates. We have a
splendid opportunity to win and
hope for the selection Of that man
who can unite the Democratic ele-
ments."
Mr.. Bryan also expressed his ap-
proval Of presidential preference pri-
maries.
while primaries are still in the
experimental stage to a large ex-
tent" he said, II favor this method
Of selecting candidates. Ultimately
favor the making Of a majority vote
the deciding method in primaries.

SOCIALIST SECOR SEES
IN LACK OF HARMONY
DUBIOUS DAYS AHEAD

To the Editor of The Farmer. Sir:
In an effort to bring about har-
mony between the warning factions IN
the Socialist Party in Bridgeport neu-
trail Socialists have asked both sides
to state whether Or not they desire
settlement and to make a proposal
[ wish to state in reply that the fac
ton known as Old Local Bridgeport
stands in the same position regard
ing settlement of the controversy as
we did one year ago when the split
occurred. We greatly deplore this
condition of factional strife and in
order not to hurt the chances Of the
party in the election have refrained
from making any open fight for JUS
tice. 1t is our contention that the
State Committee o the Socialist
Party of Connecticut is responsible
for the present condition.
We have therefore prepared state
ment of the entire controversy which
will be presented to the entire state
membership. In order that those who
have come into the Socialist party
since this split occurred as we'll as
the several thousand sympathizers
with Socialism, may understand why
we contend that we constitute Local
Bridgeport of the Socialist Party and
that the McLevy faction seceeded
from the party on March 18th, 1912
and having since been unjustly recog-
nized by the State Committee have
come to be regarded as the regular"
Socialist organization in this city,
will quote from our statement to show
that a conspiracy was formed to IL
legally abolish the constitution of Lo-
cal Bridgeport. Previous to the meet

Hughes Suggests
Using Auto Taxes
For Better Roads
Local Assessor Speaks Before
State Gathering at Capitol

Assessor Frank J. Hughes of this
city, spoke interestingly before the
meeting of assessors and members of
the Board of Relief throughout the
State at Hartford. Tax Commissions
err Corbin presided. Matters of mu-
tual interest were discussed.
Mr. Hughes was the first speaker in
the afternoon session. He said ali
realized that the auto has come to
stay and is now developing as
commercial vehicle and these cost
from $500 to several thousand dollars.
It is now coming forward in still
another type as tractor. It's lie
can now be calculated with some de-
gree of accuracy. He said Bridge
port mad assessed autos at their list
price less % per cent for the first
year and later decreasing their value
a little each year This plan now pro-
posed is like the foregoing for tn,
first year and then reducing about 30
percent of the valuation yearly. The
assessors now think the plan fair,
Nothing depreciates more rapidly
than an automobile. but the value
largely depends upon the degree Of
care which its owner gives 1T:
The demand of automobiles for
good roads, Mr.. Hughes said should
be met by diverting the money re-
ceived from auto taxation to repairs
on the roads. So far as its effect
on the road is concerned an old auto
does as much damage as a new ons.
He said the average of cars now IL
30 % horsepower, but this is going
to increase owing to the increased
use of commercial autos and tractors;
this means a serious wear on the
roads. The commercial vehicles are
Of low speed but they carry great
weight and are going to increase in
number. He said law should be
prepared as soon as possible, if it
can be done, by which the money de-
rived from auto taxes shall be ex-
pended on the highways. Mr.. Hughes
said another problem which assessors
have to meet is the shifting of the
upper work of car, as a touring
car is often changed into limousine
when winter comes on. The value Of
the era is increased but the assessors
are helpless.

Despite a salary increase of en-
ployees of the club, amounting to $70o
a year, the Brooklawn Country club
during the season of 1911 made a net
profit of s1,035 on it's business for

night and officers were elected as re-
ported by the nominating committee

The clubs total revenue last year
from all sources was $50, 400 and this
exceeded the total expenses by ST.,

The clubs new golf course will be
opened in the early part of the sum-
mer. When the new course is added,
the readjustment will leave three
holes on the clubs old green and sew

pipes throughout the golf course will
simplify the sprinkling problem and
make it an easy matter to keep the
big course in excellent condition.
